    摘要: A phase interpolator circuit is provided that generates an output clock signal by interpolating between phases of first and second clock signals. Interpolation is performed by detecting an edge of the first clock signal and applying a first current to charge a capacitance of an output node to a voltage level which is less than or equal to a switching threshold of a voltage comparator, and detecting an edge of the second clock signal and applying a second current to charge the capacitance of the output node to a voltage level which exceeds the switching threshold of the voltage comparator. The magnitude of the first current is varied to adjust a timing at which the capacitance of the output node is charged to a voltage level that exceeds the switching threshold of the voltage comparator and to adjust a phase of the output clock signal output from the voltage comparator.

    摘要: An apparatus comprises an amplifier circuit comprising at least one output node and a common-mode restoration circuit capacitively coupled to the at least one output node of the amplifier circuit. The common-mode restoration circuit is configured to introduce at least one common-mode restoring signal onto the output node, wherein the at least one common-mode restoring signal transitions in correspondence with an operation interval of the amplifier circuit and thereby compensates for a common-mode voltage drop on the at least one output node of the amplifier circuit. In one example, the amplifier circuit may comprise a current-integrating amplifier circuit, and the operation interval may comprise an integration interval.

    摘要: Circuits and methods are provided for generating clock signals and correcting duty cycle distortion in clock signals. A circuit for generating a clock signal includes a multiplexer circuit and an edge-triggered flip-flop circuit. The multiplexer circuit selectively outputs one of a plurality of input clock signals. The edge-triggered flip-flop detects a transitioning edge of the input clock signal that is selectively output from the multiplexer circuit, and in response to the detection, samples a logic level of a received data signal, and generates a transition of an output clock signal at an output port of the edge-triggered flip-flop. The multiplexer circuit selectively outputs one of the plurality of input clock signals to a clock signal port of the edge-triggered flip-flop, based on a logic level of the output clock signal at the output port of the edge-triggered flip-flop, which is input to a select control port of the multiplexer circuit.

    摘要: Version indicators within an existing range can be associated with a data partition in a distributed data store. A partition reconfiguration can be associated with one of multiple partitions in the data store, and a new version indicator that is outside the existing range can be assigned to the reconfigured partition. Additionally, a broadcast message can be sent to multiple nodes, which can include storage nodes and/or client nodes that are configured to communicate with storage nodes to access data in a distributed data store. The broadcast message can include updated location information for data in the data store. In addition, a response message can be sent to a requesting node of the multiple nodes in response to receiving from that node a message that requests updated location information for the data. The response message can include the requested updated location information.
