Patent number: 8200725Abstract: An arithmetic processing system processes a sensing signal and a first approximate offset signal to obtain a second approximate offset signal. The system includes a first arithmetic processor and a second arithmetic processor. The first arithmetic processor receives and processes the sensing signal and the first approximate offset signal to output a first arithmetic signal. The second arithmetic processor processes the first arithmetic signal to output a second arithmetic signal, and the second arithmetic signal is added with a predetermined offset signal to obtain the second approximate offset signal, and the second approximate offset signal is closer to a real offset signal of the sensing signal than the first approximate offset signal. A method of arithmetic processing is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2007Date of Patent: June 12, 2012Assignee: Asia Optical Co., Inc.Inventors: Kun-Chi Liao, Yu-Ting Lee
