Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods of reducing the EMI effect generated by such analog blocks. By varying the clock frequency in time of oscillators used by such analog blocks, the EMI energy may be spread over a wide spectrum range thereby reducing the peak energy for the main frequency. To achieve this, the oscillator frequency is directly varied using analog mechanisms. The mechanisms may be based on a synchronized method for increasing/decreasing the current that is charging/discharging the oscillator capacitor. The frequency variation may be achieved by analog control of the extra charge/discharge current.

Abstract: Data items are aggregated in a quantile sketch according to a compactor hierarchy. A first number of data items are stored in a first buffer corresponding to a first (i.e., lowest) compaction level of the compactor hierarchy, and a top level number of data items are stored in a top buffer corresponding to a top compaction level of the compactor hierarchy. For a first subset of the first number of data items, each data item is already stored in the top buffer, and a weight of the respective data item stored in the top buffer is increased by 1. For a second subset of the first number of data items, each data item does not match any data item stored in the top buffer, and a second number of data items are selected from the second subset and stored in a second buffer of a second compaction level.
