Abstract
Techniques to determine and indicate the extent to which transitions of an input signal deviate from a desired transition region.
Claims25
A method comprising:
- establishing a transition phase region in reference to a first signal;
- determining whether transitions of a second signal occur outside of the transition phase region;
- and
- providing an indication of the extent that transitions of the second signal occur outside of the transition phase region.
1 more element
An apparatus comprising:
- a clock source to output a first signal;
- a transition detector to provide an extent to which transitions of a second signal occur outside of a set transition phase region, wherein the transition phase region comprises a phase region in reference to the first signal.
A system comprising:
- an amplifier to receive a first signal and to amplify the first signal;
- a clock source to output a second signal;
- a transition detector to receive the first and second signals and to provide an extent to which transitions of the first signal occur outside a transition phase region, wherein the transition phase region is in reference to the first signal;
- and
- a data processor to receive the extent and to determine when to ignore the first signal.
