  • Publication number: 20220263515
    Abstract: An electronic circuit for converting a signal between digital and analog in a burst mode, including a processor configured to utilize a synchronizing clock signal, a converter configured to convert a signal data between digital and analog using a converter clock signal, a phase comparator configured to determine a phase relationship between the synchronizing clock signal and the converter clock signal, and a digital signal processor coupled to the phase comparator and configured to receive an information about the phase relationship, wherein the digital signal processor is configured to apply a delay to the signal data being exchanged between the processor and. The synchronizing clock signal and the converter clock signal have a predetermined frequency relationship.

  • Publication number: 20220263516
    Abstract: A measurement unit comprising a converter unit and a processing unit and configured to provide a measurement result value, based on a first input signal. The converter unit is configured to provide first digital, quantized values based on the first input signal. The measurement unit is further configured to calculate second values, which represents a reference quantity or a reference value, for a plurality of quantization step sizes associated with different values of the control signal. The measurement unit is configured to change the control signal of the converter unit between determination of different first values and/or a determination of the different second values, such that different first values and/or different second values are provided using different converter quantization step sizes. The processing unit is configured to provide a measurement result value from a predefined number of first values and a predefined number of second values.

  • Publication number: 20220263517
    Abstract: A measurement unit comprising a converter unit and a processing unit is configured to provide a measurement result value, based on a first input signal and a second input signal. The converter unit is configured to provide a first digital, quantized values based on the first input signal or derived from the first input signal and the second input signal. The converter unit is further configured to provide second digital, quantized values based on the second input signal. The measurement unit is configured to change the one or more control signals of the converter unit between determination of different first values or a determination of the different second values, wherein different first values and/or different second values are provided using different converter quantization step sizes. The processing unit is configured to provide a measurement result value from a predefined number of first values and a predefined number of second values.

  • Publication number: 20110222266
    Abstract: An illuminating element (110) of an electronic device (100) is associated to an operating element (120), which may be a control element (122) or a connector socket (121). A controller (130) performs a user-guidance procedure or an input port selection procedure and controls the illuminating element (110) in dependence on a progress of the procedure. For example, in case of an operating manual display procedure or a help procedure, connector sockets (121) and/or control elements (122), to which the on-screen operating manual or the help procedure currently refers, may be illuminated in the relevant context. Other embodiments refer to the illumination of operating elements (120) that could or should be operated at a certain point in time in the course of an input port selection procedure.
