Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for aggregating received data from a data stream. Data is received from a particular stream partition to which a device is subscribed, and subsets of the data, from the particular stream partition, are aggregated based on respective keys associated with the subsets of the data. The device determines whether one or more subsets of data, associated with a particular key, meet at least one processing criteria, such as a threshold amount of data, and refraining from processing the aggregated data when the processing criteria is not met. Once additional subset(s) of data associated with the particular key are received, they are aggregated with the one or more subsets of data. When the processing criteria is satisfied, the device processes the aggregated subsets of data associated with the particular key.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for partitioning received data for use in a data stream. Data is received during a period of time at a device, such as a data partitioner. The device a) determines that a first subset of the data is for a first system component, b) a second subset of the data is for a second system component, and c) a third subset of the data is for the first system component. Also, determines that a first stream partition is mapped to the first system component and a second stream partition is mapped to the second system component. Based on these determinations, the device assigns the first and third subsets of the data to the first stream partition and the second subset of the data to the second stream partition. Thereafter, the device transmits a stream that includes the first stream partition and the second stream partition.

The PTAT circuit outputs one current, and the amplification circuit outputs one or more currents. The one or more currents are outputted by the amplification circuit based on collector-emitter voltages associated with transistors of the PTAT circuit. Alternatively, the one or more currents are outputted by the amplification circuit based on the current outputted by the PTAT circuit and the collector-emitter voltages associated with the transistors of the PTAT circuit. The output circuit generates one or more output voltages based on at least one of a base-emitter voltage associated with a transistor of the PTAT circuit and a current of the one or more currents outputted by the amplification circuit.

Abstract: A pipeline analog-to-digital converter (ADC) includes a hybrid multiplying digital-to-analog converter (MDAC) that includes multiple digital-to-analog converters (DACs), an amplifier, and a conversion circuit. The multiple DACs function in a pipelined manner such that each DAC receives an analog input signal in different cycles of a clock signal and generates a corresponding analog output signal. The amplifier amplifies each analog output signal to generate a corresponding amplified analog signal in different cycles of the clock signal. The conversion circuit successively approximates each analog output signal to generate multiple digital signals. Thus, a digital output signal of the pipeline ADC is generated based on the corresponding amplified analog signal and at least one of the multiple digital signals. The pipeline ADC utilizes one cycle for performing each of sampling, conversion, and amplification operations, which results into low power consumption by the pipeline ADC.

Abstract: A sub-ranging analog-to-digital converter (ADC) converts an analog input signal to a digital output signal. The sub-ranging ADC includes a coarse ADC, a fine ADC, and an error correction circuit (ECC). The fine ADC includes at least three digital-to-analog converters (DACs) that are connected in a pipeline architecture. The coarse and fine ADCs receive the analog input signal in a first half cycle of a clock signal. The coarse ADC converts the analog input signal to a first digital signal in a second half cycle of the clock signal. At least one of the first through third DACs converts the analog input signal to a second digital signal in a full cycle of the clock signal. The ECC receives the first and second digital signals and generates the digital output signal.
