Abstract

A mixed signal device includes an analog circuit and a digital circuit coupled to the analog circuit. The digital circuit includes a component that samples a signal at a sampling rate that is dynamically variable by the digital circuit based on the bandwidth of the incoming signal. The digital circuit is to automatically assert a signal to the analog circuit to change a bias current of the analog circuit based on a change to the sampling rate in the digital circuit.
