  • Publication number: 20240072816
    Abstract: A digital-to-analog converter and an operation method thereof are provided. The digital-to-analog converter includes a current source module, a decoder, a change indicator, and a random number generator. The decoder is coupled to the current source module and receives a digital input signal. The change indicator is coupled to the decoder and provides an indication signal to the decoder. The random number generator is coupled to the change indicator and provides a random number signal to the change indicator. The change indicator generates an indication signal according to the random number signal, and the decoder generates a control signal to the current source module according to the digital input signal and the indication signal, so that the current source module generates an analog output signal corresponding to the digital input signal according to the control signal.

  • Patent number: 10218373
    Abstract: An ADC calibration system includes a clock generating circuit, under test ADCs, a standard ADC, and a calibration circuit. The clock generating circuit generates operation clocks according to a system clock, and generates a calibration clock according to the system clock and a selection signal. The under test ADCs sample an input signal according to the operation clocks to output under test sampling results. The standard ADC samples the input signal according to the calibration clock to output a standard sampling result. The calibration circuit makes the phases of the calibration clock and a first operation clock received by a first ADC to be the same. The calibration circuit compares the standard sampling result with a first under test sampling result to generate calibration information corresponding to the first under test sampling result, and calibrates the first under test sampling result according to the calibration information.

  • Patent number: 8322766
    Abstract: A gripper applied in a transport mechanism for transporting a wafer is provided. The transport mechanism includes a bar. The gripper includes a fixing member fixed to the bar, and a carrying member. The fixing member includes two grooves adjacent to the bottom of the fixing member. Each groove includes an entrance and a retaining portion. The carrying member includes a notch and a first claw. The notch is located at the top of the carrying member and communicates two opposite sides of the carrying member. The notch includes two inner walls, each having a protrusion. The carrying member is assembled to the fixing member by sliding each protrusion along one of the grooves from the corresponding entrance and until abutting against the corresponding retaining portion. The first claw is located at a first sidewall of the carrying member. The edge of the wafer is supportable by the first claw.
