Patent number: 8452935Abstract: The present invention provides a memory device and a method for accessing the memory device thereof. The memory device comprises an address encoding selector for selecting one of plurality of encoding circuits which encodes a first address into a second address, and a data decoding selector for selecting one of plurality of decoding circuits which decodes a first data corresponding to the second address into a second data and a non-volatile memory, coupled to address encoding selector and the data decoding selector, for storing the first data. The method for accessing the memory device comprises encoding a first address into a second address by an address encoding selector, and decoding a first data corresponding to the second address into a second data by a data decoding selector, wherein the first data being stored in the non-volatile memory.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2009Date of Patent: May 28, 2013Assignee: Holtek Semiconductor Inc.Inventors: Chuen-An Lin, Ching-Tsung Tung

Patent number: 8090070Abstract: The present invention discloses a synchronizing device for real-time USB audio data transmission, comprising: a first adder unit, a start-of-frame countdown unit, a phase-locked loop circuit, a frequency divider, a second adder unit, a third adder unit, a fourth adder unit, a frame calibrating register unit, a calibrating mapping unit and a calibrating pulse generating unit. A start-of-frame token sent by the USB host is used as a 1-ms reference cycle so that a high-frequency clock passes through the frequency divider to issue a first clock. The first clock signal has a constant clock number in a USB start-of-frame. The absolute time is automatically adjusted according to the duration of a previous start-of-frame. Therefore, asynchronicity of data transmission between the USB host and external devices can be overcome.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2008Date of Patent: January 3, 2012Assignee: Holtek Semiconductor Inc.Inventors: Min-Shing Wu, Chuen-An Lin

Patent number: 7940876Abstract: A universal series bus (USB) frequency synchronous apparatus using a start of frame (SOF) signal generated by a master device to mark a reference interval is disclosed. The frequency synchronizing apparatus includes a frequency divider, a counter unit with a default pulse number, an arithmetic unit, and an adjusting unit. The frequency divider divides a high frequency signal by a variable frequency factor to generate a lock frequency signal. The counter is used to detect a pulse number of the lock frequency signal at a reference interval and obtain a pulse difference between the default pulse number and the detected pulse number of the lock frequency signal.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2008Date of Patent: May 10, 2011Assignee: Holtek Semiconductor Inc.Inventors: Min-Kun Wang, Min-Hsiung Hu, Chuen-An Lin
