    Abstract: An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) implements non-uniform conversion accuracy so as to allow for high conversion accuracy for a select narrower input range while also accommodating a wider overall input range and requiring fewer conversion bits compared to conventional ADCs. The ADC includes an ADC core that receives an input signal and outputs a first digital value having a first number of bits, the first digital value based on the input signal and an accuracy configuration of the ADC core. The ADC also includes an encoder to generate a second digital value have a second number of bits, greater than the first number of bits, based on the first digital value and the accuracy configuration of the ADC core. The ADC further includes an accuracy controller to adjust the accuracy configuration of the ADC core based on a relationship between the first digital value and at least one threshold.

    Abstract: A method for reserving and provisioning IT resources comprises receiving, from a user, a request to reserve a desired configuration of IT resources. The desired configuration comprises one or more desired technical specifications and a desired reservation time having a start time and an end time. The method further comprises accessing an IT resource database to determine one or more of a plurality of resource pools that the user has access to. The one or more resource pools are consulted to determine if one or more IT resources matching the desired configuration are available. If the one or more IT resources matching the desired configuration are available, the one or more IT resources are reserved for the user and provided to the user at the start time.

    Abstract: Power management in a light emitting diode (LED) system having a plurality of LED strings is disclosed. A voltage source provides an output voltage to drive a plurality of LED strings. An LED driver implements a feedback mechanism to monitor the tail voltages of the active LED strings to identify the minimum tail voltage and adjust the output voltage of the voltage source based on the lowest tail voltage. A loop calibration module of the LED driver calibrates the feedback mechanism of the LED driver based on a relationship between a digital code value used to generate a particular output voltage and another digital code value generated based on the minimum tail voltage resulting from the particular output voltage.

    Abstract: Disclosed are example techniques for frame-based power management in a light emitting diode (LED) system having a plurality of LED strings. A voltage source provides an output voltage to drive the LED strings. An LED driver generates a frame timing reference representative of the frame rate or display timing of a series of image frames to be displayed via the LED system. An update reference is generated from the frame timing reference. The LED driver monitors one or more operating parameters of the LED system. In response to update triggers marked by the update reference, the LED driver adjusts the output voltage of the voltage source based on the status of each of the one or more monitored operating parameters (either from the previous update period or determined in response to the update trigger), thereby synchronizing the updating of the output voltage to the frame rate (or a virtual approximation of the frame rate) of the video being displayed.
