Abstract
A self-calibrating integrated circuit includes a processor having at least one analog function used with the processor; one or more sensors adapted to sense one or more environmental parameters of the at least one analog function; and a solid state memory being configured to store the one or more environmental parameters of the at least one analog function.
Claims20
An integrated circuit, comprising:
- a radio frequency circuit configured to communicate radio frequency data;
- one or more sensors configured to sense one or more environmental parameters;
- and
- a memory configured to store sensed information regarding the one or more environmental parameters.
1 more element
A method comprising:
- sensing at least one environmental parameter associated with a semiconductor device having an analog portion including a radio frequency circuit configured to communicate radio frequency data and a digital portion;
- and
- controlling a clock frequency based on the sensed at least one environmental parameter.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- a radio frequency circuit coupled to the processor;
- an oscillator coupled to the processor and the radio frequency circuit, the oscillator having a frequency varied by one or more environmental parameters;
- and
- one or more sensors configured to sense the one or more environmental parameters, wherein at least one of the sensors comprises a hot-electron sensor.
