Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems for jitter equalization and phase error detection. In embodiments, a communication circuit may include a data path to pass a data signal and a clock path to pass a clock signal. A jitter equalizer may be coupled with the data path and/or clock path to provide a programmable delay to the data signal and/or clock signal, respectively. The delay may be determined by a training process in which a supply voltage may be modulated by a modulation frequency. The delay may be dependent on a value of the supply voltage, such as a voltage level and/or jitter frequency component of the supply voltage. A phase error detector is also described that may be used with the communication circuit and/or other embodiments.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems for jitter equalization and phase error detection

A method monitors the consumption of materials, including determining the presence of materials in a smart receptacle using a sensor located in the smart receptacle. A server is alerted when an actionable item is detected.

Systems and methods for monitoring consumption

A dual mode voltage regulator according to one embodiment includes a passive regulator circuit, a switching regulator circuit, and a controller circuit configured to determine parameters of an external select input. The controller is configured to selectively couple, on a cold boot up, either the passive regulator circuit or the switching regulator circuit between an input voltage port and an output load based on the determination of parameters.

Dual mode voltage regulator with reconfiguration capability

A dual mode voltage regulator according to one embodiment includes a passive regulator circuit; a switching regulator circuit; and a controller circuit configured to monitor operational parameters of the dual mode voltage regulator and selectively couple either the passive regulator circuit or the switching regulator circuit between an input voltage port and an output load. The selective coupling is based on the monitoring of parameters including current through the output load, voltage at the input voltage port and voltage at the output load as well as the availability of a system clock signal.
