  • Patent number: 7957698
    Abstract: A calibration circuit for calibrating an output level of a demodulator includes a test signal generator, an RSSI module and a calibration module. The test signal generator generates a test signal, and the RSSI module detects the test signal to generate a control signal, wherein the control signal controls the demodulator to process the test signal to generate a determined output signal. The calibration module then calibrates the RSSI module according to the output signal in order to calibrate the output level of the demodulator. When the control signal is utilized to selectively enable or disable a soft-mute function of the demodulator, the calibration module can be utilized to calibrate or determine the soft-mute function of the demodulator.

  • Publication number: 20090232316
    Abstract: A multi-channel blend system includes a calibration circuit and a decoding circuit having a gain amplifying module. The decoding circuit is utilized for receiving an input signal to generate a first channel output signal and a second channel output signal. The gain amplifying module is utilized for providing a gain value for determining a separation ratio between the first channel output signal and the second channel output signal according to a calibration signal. The calibration circuit is utilized for providing a predetermined test signal serving as the input signal so as to generate the calibration signal according to at least one of the first and second channel output signals generated from the predetermined test signal.

  • Patent number: 7142138
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an on-line calibration method, which utilizes two calibration algorithms running in the background without interrupting the normal operation of the analog signal process. The method includes performing a residue amplifier gain error calibration and performing a DAC non-linearity calibration. The residue amplifier gain error calibration can reduce the gain error of the residue amplifier for a missing code or a missing decision level phenomenon. The DAC non-linearity calibration can relax the matching requirement of passive components in current semiconductor processes. The present invention discloses a two-step ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter), which includes a first signal processing unit, a second signal processing unit, a programmable gain control unit and a programmable reference voltage generator, performing the on-line calibration method.

  • Patent number: 6853323
    Abstract: A digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for use in high-speed wireless communications. The DAC of the invention comprises a plurality of current steering cells to bi-directionally provide a differential current output. When the DAC sets the differential current output to zero for example, each of the current steering cells establishes dummy branches between a pair of current sources and thereby prevents the current sources from floating. This in turn enables the DAC to operate with a higher update rate.

  • Patent number: 6028545
    Abstract: The subject invention relates to a type of multi-bits successive-approximation ADC to convert analog signals into a N-bits digital output code, wherein N is the number of bits of output code. The ADC includes (a) an input sample/hold circuit that takes the sample of analog input signals during the first half of clock cycle, and maintains the analog input signals after the sampling and during a conversion process. The ADC also includes (b) a reference voltage generator, to produce different reference voltages, (c) CLOCK pulse generation circuitry to continuously produce CLOCK pulse signals, (d) several comparators for comparison of the sampled input signals with a rough reference voltage to produce a rough digital output code. The ADC applies a temperature scale to roughly estimate the sampled analog input signals, this to be completed in a second half of the CLOCK cycle.
