  • Patent number: 8330535
    Abstract: An equalizer includes an oversampling logic unit, a direct current setting unit, and an alternating current setting unit. The oversampling logic unit oversamples data from a channel to generate a plurality of direct current terms and a plurality of alternating current terms according to an oversampling clock, and outputting a plurality of direct current terms corresponding to an output clock and a plurality of alternating current terms corresponding to the output clock according to the output clock. The direct current setting unit adjusts a direct current setting of the equalizer according to a plurality of direct current terms inputted by the oversampling logic unit within a first predetermined time. And the alternating current setting unit adjusts an alternating current setting of the equalizer according to a plurality of alternating current terms inputted by the oversampling logic unit within the first predetermined time.

  • Publication number: 20110296106
    Abstract: A system for realizing multi-port storage media based on a UASP protocol of a USB specification version 3.0 includes a Universal Serial Bus, at least one storage media, and a storage device, where the storage device stores a mapping table. The Universal Serial Bus is used for transmitting at least one write data command. Each storage media is used for replying a write ready command to the Universal Serial Bus after receiving a write data command. When the Universal Serial Bus transmits a data including a command tag according to the write ready command, the storage device finds a number mapping to the command tag according to the command tag and the mapping table, and transmits the data to a storage media mapping to the number.
