A differential compression method and computer program product combines hash value techniques and suffix array techniques. The invention finds the best matches for every offset of the version file, with respect to a certain granularity and above a certain length threshold. The invention has two variations depending on block size choice. If the block size is kept fixed, the compression performance of the invention is similar to that of the greedy algorithm, without the expensive space and time requirements. If the block size is varied linearly with the reference file size, the invention can run in linear-time and constant-space. It has been shown empirically that the invention performs better than certain known differential compression algorithms in terms of compression and speed.

The invention discloses a variable gain amplifier (VGA) for linearity optimization at low gain, belonging to the technical field of analogue integrated circuits. The variable gain amplifier adopts pseudo-indexes to approximately realize linear variation by decibel. The variable gain amplifier is formed by a variable transconductance array, a bias current array, a digital control circuit, a transistor variable load connected with a diode, and a common-mode feedback circuit. The VGA realizes the variable gain of the VGA through changing the bias current of the variable transconductance and the variable load and realizes the linearity optimization when the gain of the VGA is low. Since the bias current of the variable transconductance array is very small at low gain, the variation of the width-to-length ratio effective value of the variable transconductance array does not have great impacts on the overall power consumption of the VGA. A circuit structure can be realized by using a CMOS technology.

Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for generating a temperature independent current limit. The value of the temperature independent current limit may be determined based in part on an error signal representative of a difference between an actual output value and a desired output value of a power converter.

When the error signal is above an upper threshold voltage, the temperature independent current limit may be set to a second, higher value. When the error signal is between the lower threshold voltage and the upper threshold voltage, the temperature independent current limit may change linearly with the error signal. The error signal may be adjusted to compensate for changes in the system caused by a change in temperature.

A method and apparatus for a fast and automatic setting of the phase locked loop (PLL) output frequency that significantly improves linearity, locking range as well as spectrum purity, jitter and phase noise performances is disclosed. In one embodiment, a PLL frequency synthesizer is disclosed having a reconfigurable voltage controlled oscillator VCO with three modes of operation: a Linear-High-gain, Zero-gain, and Low-gain mode. During a first tuning operation, the VCO work in a linear high gain mode, enabling a totally analogue self-calibration of the PLL over a wide frequency tuning range and with a fast settling time. During this operation the control voltage at the input of the VCO is varied by the PLL until the appropriate output frequency is found. A method for providing a linear variation of the frequency over all the voltage tuning range during this mode is disclosed. When the loop is locked, the VCO is automatically switched to the Zero-gain mode while keeping its frequency unchanged. Its sensitivity to the noise in the control path is then practically eliminated and its phase noise performances significantly improved. If the frequency error and phase noise are sufficiently small for the considered application the tuning is stopped. If the error and phase noise are not sufficiently small the VCO is switched again to Low-gain mode and fine-tuning adjustment of the output frequency is achieved.
