Abstract
An integrated circuit includes a on-chip pressure sensing circuit that generates a pressure signal based on a pressure of the integrated circuit. An RF transceiver generates an outbound RF signal from outbound data and to generate inbound data from an inbound RF signal, based on the pressure signal.
Claims30
An integrated circuit (IC) comprising:
- a on-chip pressure sensing circuit that generates a pressure signal based on an atmospheric pressure;
- and
- an RF transceiver coupled to generate an outbound RF signal from outbound data and to generate inbound data from an inbound RF signal, wherein at least one of the generating the outbound RF signal and generating the inbound data is in accordance with the pressure signal.
An integrated circuit (IC) comprises:
- a package substrate that supports a die and an on-chip pressure sensing circuit that generates a pressure signal based on an atmospheric pressure;
- the die supports:
- a processing module coupled to process a pressure signal, to convert outbound data into an outbound symbol stream, to convert an inbound symbol stream into inbound data, and to generate pressure information in accordance with the pressure signal;
- and
- a radio frequency (RF) transceiver coupled to generate an outbound RF signal from an outbound symbol stream, and to generate an inbound symbol stream from an inbound RF signal, in accordance with the pressure information.
