Abstract: Uniformly-sampled, residue-generating analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), such as uniformly-sampled continuous-time pipelined ADCs, suffer from over-ranging of the residue signal, which can lead to severe signal distortion. Conventionally, power consuming techniques and oversampling are used to address the over-ranging problem. To reduce the range of the residue signal and reduce other impairments, an event-driven sub-quantizer (sub-ADC) and a sub-digital-to-analog converter (sub-DAC) can be implemented in at least one of the stages of the residue-generating ADC, to generate a continuous-time residue signal.

The intervening layers may be at least partially sacrificial, for example to allow one or more of a gate, source, or drain to wrap completely around a channel region of one or more of the N-type and P-type transistors.

In another embodiment, restore may be based on blocks that have changed since the most recent backup (or a user-selected backup).

Abstract: A method for managing memory for applications in a computing system includes receiving a selection of a preferred application. During user-controlled operation over the application, the transitions of selected application between foreground and background are monitored. A retention of the application in memory is triggered upon a transition of the application to background during the user operation. Retention of the application includes compressing memory portions of the application. Accordingly, the application is retained within the memory based on said compressed memory portions. A requirement to restore the retained application is sensed based on either a user selection or an automatically generated prediction and the application is restored from the retained state back to the foreground.
