A wireless (radio) receiver receives RF signals carrying data synchronized with a first clock. The wireless receiver demodulates the RF signals to extract the data signals and the first clock signals. The wireless receiver uses the first clock signals as write signals to write the data signals in a first-in first-out memory device (FIFO). The data signals stored in the FIFO may be read out with read signals synchronized to a second clock. In one example, a host associated with the wireless receiver reads out data signals stored in the FIFO with read signals synchronized to the system clock of the host receiver. In another example, the wireless receiver includes a data processing circuit (e. g. , including forward error correction, de-whitening, and cyclical redundancy check circuits) that reads out data signals stored in the FIFO with read signals synchronized to the system clock of the wireless receiver. A microprocessor system architecture is disclosed which allows for the selective execution of programmed ROM microcode or, alternatively, RAM microcode if there has been a correction or update made to the ROM microcode originally programmed into the system.

A microprocessor memory architecture including a read-only memory (ROM) with programmed microcode and a random access memory (RAM) capable of storing microcode and one or more data bits used for the selection of corresponding ROM or RAM microcode for execution. A multiplexer receives input signals from both the ROM microcode and RAM microcode, and a control signal which is one or more RAM data bits is used to select from the RAM or ROM microcode inputs for further execution by the microprocessor.

A baseband controller includes a microsequencer that is formed to include special hardware resources and a configuration that facilitates using the micro-sequencer as a real-time baseband controller. The microsequencer includes a 72-bit correlator that way also be used as an accumulator. The correlator is able to communicate with a 72-bit arithmetic logic unit, enabling the correlator to act as an accumulator, as well as a plurality of clocks and timers that facilitate the timing functionality to satisfy Bluetooth specifications. More specifically, the microsequencer includes at least four clocks and eight times. The four clocks include an externally driven Bluetooth clock, an externally driven real-time clock, a native Bluetooth clock and a native real-time clock. The microsequencer further includes at least four registers for temporarily storing computational data. The storage registers have different sizes for storing different sized packets of computational data.

A double diffused region (), (), () is formed in an epitaxial layer (). The double diffused region is formed by first implanting light implant specie such as boron through an opening in a photoresist layer prior to a hard bake process. Subsequent to a hard bake process heavy implant specie such as arsenic can be implanted into the epitaxial layer. During subsequent processing such as LOCOS formation the double diffused region is formed. A dielectric layer () is formed on the epitaxial layer () and gate structures (), () are formed over the dielectric layer ().

A baseband controller system creates and maintains a schedule of synchronized events and reviews the schedule as a part of determining whether to initiate a transmission of a non-synchronous event. One aspect is to avoid a possibility of collision between synchronized and non-synchronized communication events. The schedule of synchronized events are evaluated in relation to the present time and determine whether a non-synchronized event may be transmitted without the likelihood of a collision. The transmission determination includes evaluating future time periods to see if a synchronized event is scheduled during a time period in which the non-synchronized event would continue to be transmitted for those non-synchronized events that span two or more defined time periods in length.
