Publication number: 20240348219Abstract: A differential amplification device and a compensation method thereof. The differential amplification device includes a first terminal signal circuit, a second terminal signal circuit and a controller. The first terminal signal circuit and the second terminal signal circuit respectively generate a first terminal signal and a second terminal signal of a differential output signal to a first terminal of a transmission path. The controller adjusts first element parameters of the first terminal signal circuit or second element parameters of the second terminal signal circuit based on a transmitted differential signal at a second terminal of the transmission path to compensate for asymmetric influence by the transmission path on the first terminal signal and the second terminal signal of the transmitted differential signal. Adjustment of the first element parameter of the first terminal signal circuit is independent of adjustment of the second element parameter of the second terminal signal circuit.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2024Publication date: October 17, 2024Applicant: VIA LABS, INC.Inventors: Hsiao-Chyi Lin, Yi-Shing Lin
