  • Publication number: 20240313940
    Abstract: A falling-edge modulation signal receiver is configured to process an input signal having a duty cycle varying with a bit value of the input signal. The receiver includes: a phase-locked loop for generating an oversampling clock according to the input signal which correlates with a signal clock, wherein the oversampling frequency is not lower than five times the frequency of the signal clock; an oversampling circuit for sampling the input signal according to the oversampling clock and thereby generating multiple groups of data which as a whole is corresponding to a single bit of the input signal; and a decision circuit for ascertaining that X bits of the multiple groups of data are 1 and determining the value of the single bit according to the X. When the X is greater/less than a threshold, the decision circuit determines that the value of the single bit is 1/0.

  • Patent number: 11785233
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a video interface conversion device that includes a first and a second interface transmission circuit, a color conversion circuit and an image compression circuit. The first and the second interface transmission circuit are respectively electrically coupled to an image source and a display terminal. The second interface transmission circuit negotiates a maximum output bandwidth with the display terminal such that the first interface transmission circuit compares an input data bandwidth of a data signal received from the image source and the maximum output bandwidth. When the maximum output bandwidth is smaller than the input data bandwidth, an image compression and/or a color coding conversion is performed on the data signal, and the data signal having the processed input data bandwidth being smaller than or equal to the maximum output bandwidth is further transmitted by the second interface transmission circuit to the display terminal.

  • Patent number: 11412302
    Abstract: A detection circuit and a wake-up method are provided. The detection circuit is adapted to a high definition multimedia interface (HDMI) receiver that enters a power-saving mode in a fixed rate link (FRL) mode to detect whether or not an HDMI transmitter starts to transmit video packets through the FRL. The detection circuit includes a signal detection circuit detecting whether or not signal exists on the FRL and an FRL packet determination circuit determining whether or not the FRL packets are the video packets according to a variable value characteristic of the video packets and/or a fixed value characteristic of gap packets. An existence of the signal on the FRL indicates an existence of FRL packets on the FRL. When the FRL packets are the video packets, the FRL packet determination circuit wakes the HDMI receiver from the power-saving mode to resolve the video packets and display videos.

  • Patent number: 11137971
    Abstract: A data packing circuit and a data packing method operated in a high definition multimedia interface (HDMI) transmitter that adopts a fixed rate link mode are provided. The data packing circuit can output a plurality of FRL super blocks at a plurality of unit times. In the data packing method, multiple valid data inputted to the data packing circuit at the (i)th unit time are mapped to a plurality of FRL characters, and the FRL characters are stored to the first or the second buffer. At the same time, an amount of tri-byte of the multiple valid data is counted for determining number and positions for inserting gap characters to form the (i)th FRL super block, which is outputted at the (i+1)th unit time. The numeral ā€˜i’ is a positive integer.
