  • Patent number: 11923866
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a DAC method having signal calibration mechanism is provided. Operation states of current sources are controlled to generate an output analog signal by a DAC circuit according to a codeword of an input digital signal. An echo signal is generated by an echo transmission circuit according to the output analog signal. The codeword is mapped to generate an offset signal by a calibration circuit according to a codeword offset mapping table. The offset signal is processed to generate an echo-canceling signal by an echo-canceling circuit. By a calibration parameter calculation circuit, offset amounts are generated according to a difference between the echo signal and the echo-canceling signal, the offset amounts are grouped to perform statistic operation according to the operation states and current offset values are calculated according to calculation among groups and converted to codeword offset values to update the codeword offset mapping table.
