Abstract
Disclosed herein are multi-mode methods and devices for sample generation. An exemplary device for generating an output sample includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for sampling a plurality of input analog signals and producing an ADC output sample. The ADC may include a ADC digital modulator including timing-critical components. A plurality of digital blocks may be coupled to the ADC digital modulator. The exemplary device may include a baseband processor for controlling a plurality of clock inputs. The plurality of clock inputs may drive the ADC digital modulator and the plurality of digital blocks. The baseband processor may be configured to operate in a plurality of modes including a first mode and a second mode. The first mode may include a first mode standby state and a first mode initial operating state. The second mode may include a second mode initial operating state and a second mode standby state.
