  • Publication number: 20140111259
    Abstract: A power-on reset circuit includes a power confirmation module and a reset signal generator. The power confirmation module receives a supply voltage and generates a reference voltage and a comparison voltage. A magnitude of the reference voltage rises a first time delay after receipt of the supply voltage, and a magnitude of the comparison voltage rises a second time delay after receipt of the supply voltage. The second time delay is greater than the first time delay. The power confirmation module further outputs a confirmation signal based on the reference voltage and the comparison voltage. The reset signal generator outputs a reset signal according to the confirmation signal.

  • Publication number: 20130051499
    Abstract: A method and a device for improving ensemble auto searching efficiency are provided. In this method, a first digital audio broadcasting transmitted signal is received, and a time interval between null symbols of adjacent ones of multiple continuous transmitted frames in the first digital audio broadcasting transmitted signal is calculated. If the time interval fits a preset transmitted frame time duration, it is then determined that a first channel corresponding to the first digital audio broadcasting transmitted signal is a preliminarily identified digital audio broadcasting channel. A first phase reference symbol of the first digital audio broadcasting transmitted signal is then detected, and a first correlation value between the first phase reference symbol and a preset phase reference symbol is calculated. If the first correlation value is greater than or equal to a threshold, it is then determined that the first channel is a valid digital audio broadcasting channel.

  • Patent number: 7613269
    Abstract: A method for calculating equal error protection (EEP) profiles is disclosed. The method uses a profile function related to a sub-channel size to calculate EEP profiles and then uses the EEP profiles to decode data. When a receiver receives a protection level and a size value of the sub-channel size, a corresponding sub-channel size can be rapidly obtained through a reference table of the protection level and the sub-channel size so as to calculate the required EEP profiles. The method in the present invention requires only a few adders/subtractors and shifters or an easily realizable multiplier to calculate the profiles so that the objective of effectively saving cost and rapidly obtaining the profiles is achieved.
