    摘要: A voltage regulator includes a transconductance amplifier having an input and an output. The input is coupled to a voltage regulator output. A droop compensation circuit is coupled to the output of the transconductance amplifier. The droop compensation circuit includes a voltage source circuit configured to cause a voltage at an output of the voltage regulator to change from a first voltage level to a second voltage level in response to a first change in a load condition and remain at the second voltage level until a second change in the load condition. The droop compensation circuit also is configured to cause the voltage at the output of the voltage regulator to change from the second voltage level back to the first voltage level in response to the second change in the load condition.

    摘要: A method and circuit for recovering data from a digital bitstream received from an analog to digital converter includes asynchronously oversampling the digital bitstream at a sampling rate dictated by an estimate of a clock rate of the analog to digital converter and a nominal oversampling factor. The method and circuit also includes calculating widths of bits of the digital bitstream, and calculating a learned oversampling factor using the calculated widths of a predetermined number of bits of the digital bitstream and a minimization function. The method and circuit also includes calculating data bits to be inserted to a digital filter for digestion using the calculated widths of the bits of the digital bitstream and the learned oversampling factor.
