摘要： According to one aspect, a method for searching, using a computer, for an optimal combination of hyperparameters allows an automatic learning model to be defined. The method includes several hyperparameter combination tests, each hyperparameter combination test including cross-validation, using a validation data set, the cross-validation defining several performance tests, each hyperparameter combination test being stopped if a performance test score is lower than a best score, the cross-validation further including updating the best score when all of the performance scores computed for this cross-validation are higher than the best score, the updated best score then corresponding to the lowest performance score from among the set of performance scores computed for this cross-validation.

摘要： The present description concerns a method of controlling an analog-to-digital converter, wherein most significant bits are determined by successive approximations implementing a first digital-to-analog converter and a second digital-to-analog converter. Further, least significant bits are determined by a time-to-digital conversion by applying a first ramp to the output of the first converter with a third digital-to-analog converter and by applying a second ramp to the output of the second converter with a fourth digital-to-analog converter. The variation direction of the first and second ramps is determined by the comparison of the outputs of the first and second converters at the end of the successive approximations.

摘要： A phase lock loop (PLL) circuit incorporates switched capacitive circuitry and feedback circuitry to reduce the time to achieve a lock condition. During a first mode, the frequency of a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) is used to adjust the control voltage of the VCO to achieve a coarse lock condition. During a second mode, a reference frequency is used to control a charge pump to more precisely adjust the control voltage to achieve fine lock of the PLL. Because the VCO frequency is significantly higher than the reference frequency, the control voltage is varied at a greater rate during the first mode. In some embodiments, the time to achieve lock may be further reduced by initializing the VCO control voltage to a particular voltage so as to reduce the difference between the control voltage at start-up and the control voltage at the beginning of the first mode during coarse lock.
