    摘要: This document provides methods and apparatus configured to efficiently regulate an output voltage near a desired voltage level, for example, under varying input or load conditions. An example apparatus can include a regulator having a boost controller configured to provide voltage to an output of the regulator when at least one of the output voltage or the input voltage is below a first threshold voltage and a buck controller configured to provide voltage to the output of the regulator when at least one of the output voltage or the input voltage is above a second threshold voltage. Further, the regulator can be configured to provide the input voltage at the output of the regulator when at least one of the input voltage or the output voltage is between the first and second threshold voltages. In some examples, the first threshold is below the second threshold.

    摘要: A method, apparatus, and computer readable medium for preserving data dependency during replay of database commands without strictly preserving a global ordering of the database commands is provided. A capture process captures a workload of database commands executed by a production system. The captured workload includes object identifiers that identify database objects that were referenced directly or indirectly during execution of the database commands by the production system. The captured workload also includes an indication of whether the database objects were potentially read or written during execution of the commands. The workload is processed to determine that an object accessed during execution of a command was previously modified during execution of one or more other commands. A replay process on a test database system prevents the command from being replayed until after the one or more other commands have been replayed to modify the object.

    摘要: Techniques for proactively and reactively running diagnostic functions. These diagnostic functions help to improve diagnostics of conditions detected in a monitored system and to limit/quarantine the damages caused by the detected conditions. In one embodiment, a health monitor infrastructure is provided that is configured to perform one or more health checks in a monitored system for diagnosing and/or gathering information related to the system. The one or more health checks may be invoked pro-actively on a scheduled basis, reactively in response to a condition detected in the system, or may even be invoked manually by a user such as a system administrator.

The observer circuit may be configured to differentiate the output voltage of the converter to generate a differentiated output voltage. A transconductance amplifier may be configured to output the observer control signal from the differentiated output voltage. The observer control signal may be injected into the control loop in a summing node.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for capturing database system workload and replaying that workload in a database system is provided. According to one aspect, in order to subject a test database system to the same workload to which the production database system actually would be subjected, a database server in the production system captures and records workload that the database server receives from external entities. This captured workload is processed. Processes external to a database server in the test database system send the processed workload to that database server. As a result, the test database system is subjected to the same workload to which the production database system originally was subjected. The foregoing technique permits a database administrator to determine how the production database system will fare if the difference that is present in the test database system is introduced into the production database system.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a soft start circuit includes a slew rate controller to limit inrush current to a voltage regulator during start up. The output voltage of the regulator may be compared to a previous sampled value to determine the slew rate of the output voltage. The slew rate of the output voltage may be controlled by adjusting the current limit of the regulator. The current limit of the regulator may be adjusted using digital circuits, such as a counter and a digital to analog converter, or analog circuits using a pulsed current source, for example. The slew rate may be controlled to exceed a target slew rate or to stay within a range of slew rate limits.

    摘要: In one embodiment, in a power converter system having first and second switches connected in a half-bridge arrangement at a common node from which current flows through an inductor to a regulated output terminal, wherein the regulated output terminal is connectable to a load, wherein the first and second switches are turned on and off in cycles, a method is provided for synchronous rectification. The method includes: initiating a cycle in which the first switch is turned on; developing a timer based on the on-time of the first switch during the cycle; turning off the first switch and turning on the second switch during the cycle; and outputting a control signal to turn off the second switch when either the timer expires or a new cycle is initiated to turn on the first switch, thereby providing synchronous rectification in the power converter system.
