Title: Generating a trace stream having timing indicators indicating the elapse of processing timing intervals
Inventor: HORLEY JOHN MICHAEL
IPC: G06F11/34
Filed: 2007-03-21
Abstract: A data processing apparatus and method are provided for generating a trace stream. The data processing apparatus comprises logic for producing data elements, and trace logic for producing a stream of trace elements representative of at least some of the data elements. The trace logic has trace generation logic operable to generate trace elements for inclusion in the stream, and is further arranged to generate trace timing indicators for inclusion in the stream. Each trace timing indicator indicates the elapse of one or more processing timing intervals, the processing timing interval being a predetermined plurality of clock cycles. The apparatus further comprises storage for retaining the current processing interval and the generation logic references the storage in order to determine when to generate each trace timing indicator. The processing time interval is configurable and can be altered in response to an occurrence of an event. When the interval is changed the trace generation logic includes a timing change indicator in the trace stream. The timing indicator may be suppressed in the stream when no event of interest occurs.

Title: Bias control for an RF power amplifier in a battery operated device
Inventor: SEARLE KENNETH
IPC: H03F1/02
Filed: 2009-07-07
Abstract: A method of bias control for an RF power amplifier is disclosed, in which a bias control circuit supplies a bias control signal to the PA in dependence on a measured value of the supply voltage for the PA, in order substantially to compensate for any change in the gain of the PA due to a change in supply voltage. The bias control signal may be applied to the first stage of a multi-stage PA. The invention is particularly relevant to battery operated devices in which the output impedance of the battery is relatively high and in which the supply voltage may drop during transmission of a data burst, e.g. in WLAN systems and GSM cell phones. The invention avoids the need for a voltage regulator between the battery and the PA.
