Publication number: 20230036760Abstract: The present invention discloses a DAC method having signal calibration mechanism used in a DAC circuit having thermometer-controlled current sources generating an output analog signal according to a total current thereof and a control circuit. Current offset values of the current sources are retrieved. The current offset values are sorted to generate a turn-on order, in which the current offset values are separated into current offset groups according to the turn-on order, the signs of each neighboring two groups being opposite such that the current offset values cancel each other when the current sources turn on according to the turn-on order to keep an absolute value of a total offset not larger than a half of a largest absolute value of the current offset values. The current sources are turned on based on the turn-on order according to a thermal code included in an input digital signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2022Publication date: February 2, 2023Inventors: KAI-YUE LIN, HSUAN-TING HO, LIANG-WEI HUANG, CHI-HSI SU

Patent number: 11290306Abstract: A signal processing device includes a decision feedback equalizer and a coefficient adjusting circuit. The decision feedback equalizer includes a first equalizer configured to perform filtering on a first signal according to a set of first coefficients to generate a first filtered signal. The set of first coefficients includes multiple first coefficients. The coefficient adjusting circuit is configured to adaptively adjust one or more of the first coefficients according to an error signal. A limit operation of the first coefficients is selectively performed. When the limit operation of the first coefficients is performed, at least one of the first coefficients is set to a first predetermined value to generate a set of limited first coefficients.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2020Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: Realtek Semiconductor Corp.Inventors: Chi-Hsi Su, Liang-Wei Huang

Patent number: 7733953Abstract: An apparatus and method for adaptively correcting I/Q imbalance, which is used in a receiver for correcting a received I/Q imbalanced signal to thus eliminate the I/Q imbalance. First, an interference amount caused by interference from an imbalanced in-phase signal to an imbalanced quadrature-phase signal is computed and accordingly subtracted from the quadrature-phase signal, so that a corrected quadrature-phase signal without phase imbalance is obtained. Next, a power of output in-phase signal, a power of output quadrature-phase signal, and a target are compared to thus determine an in-phase scaling factor and a quadrature-phase scaling factor. Finally, the imbalanced in-phase signal is multiplied by the in-phase scaling factor to thus obtain the output in-phase signal, and the corrected quadrature-phase signal is multiplied by the quadrature-phase scaling factor to thus obtain the output quadrature-phase signal.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2009Date of Patent: June 8, 2010Assignee: Sunplus Technology Co., Ltd.Inventor: Chi-Hsi Su
