    Abstract: A digital-to-time converter (DTC) converts a digital code into a time delay using a capacitor digital-to-analog converter (CDAC) that functions as a charging capacitor. The DTC includes a switched capacitor voltage-to-current converter for the formation of a charging current (or a discharging current) for charging (or for discharging) the charging capacitor responsive to a triggering clock edge that begins the time delay. A comparator compares a voltage on the charging capacitor to a threshold voltage to determine an end of the time delay.

    Abstract: A digital to analog converter (DAC) includes a plurality of DAC transistor devices having an input side configured to be selectively coupled to a system voltage based on a digital input signal and an output side configured to provide an analog output signal, a plurality of non-DAC transistor devices coupled to the input side of the DAC transistor devices, the non-DAC transistor devices configured as variable resistances, and a control circuit configured to adjust a bias of the non-DAC transistor devices.

    Abstract: Techniques and systems are provided for tracking objects in one or more video frames. For example, a first set of one or more bounding regions are determined for a video frame based on a trained classification network applied to the video frame. The first set of one or more bounding regions are associated with one or more objects in the video frame. One or more blobs can be detected for the video frame. A blob includes pixels of at least a portion of an object in the video frame. A second set of one or more bounding regions are determined for the video frame that are associated with the one or more blobs. A final set of one or more bounding regions is determined for the video frame using the first set of one or more bounding regions and the second set of one or more bounding regions. Object tracking can then be performed for the video frame using the final set of one or more bounding regions.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling supply voltage for a successive approximation register analog to digital converter and comparator common mode voltage. The method comprises: measuring a successive approximation register conversion time; comparing the successive approximation register conversion time with a desired conversion time; and if necessary, performing a closed loop adjustment of at least one of the supply and/or comparator common mode voltage. The apparatus consists of a common mode voltage and regulator correction module. The common mode voltage and regulator correction module includes a phase frequency detector, a charge pump and may include a transconductance cell.
