  • Patent number: 10276116
    Abstract: A digital-to-analog converter may include a converting unit and a distributing unit. The converting unit may generate a first analog signal set based on less-than-all bits of an image data set in a first period and may generate a second analog signal set based on all bits of the image data set in a second period. The all bits may include at least 2 bits. The distributing unit may include output terminals, may distribute the first analog signal set to the output terminals in a first sequence in the first period, and may distribute the second analog signal to the output terminals in a second sequence. The second sequence may be opposite to the first sequence.

  • Patent number: 8972699
    Abstract: A multicore interface with dynamic task management capability and a task loading and offloading method thereof are provided. The method disposes a communication interface between a micro processor unit (MPU) and a digital signal processor (DSP) and dynamically manages tasks assigned by the MPU to the DSP. First, an idle processing unit of the DSP is searched, and then one of a plurality of threads of the task is assigned to the processing unit. Finally, the processing unit is activated to execute the thread. Accordingly, the communication efficiency of the multicore processor can be effectively increased while the hardware cost can be saved.
