  • Patent number: 12276739
    Abstract: A vehicle-mounted controller includes: a GNSS module, an MPU and an MCU. The GNSS module transmits a pulse signal to the MPU via the rigid line and transmits recommended positioning information to the MPU via the serial port line at the moment when a change occurs in high and low levels of the pulse signal; the MPU determines first absolute time according to first reception time when the pulse signal is received, second reception time when the recommended positioning information is received, and the recommended positioning information, and broadcasts the first absolute time to Ethernet network for absolute time synchronization; the MCU determines second absolute time according to time when the pulse signal is received, time when the first absolute time is received, and the recommended positioning information, and broadcasts the second absolute time to a CAN bus for absolute time synchronization.

  • Patent number: 12074623
    Abstract: Decision feedback equalization (DFE) is used to help reduce inter-symbol interference (ISI) from a data signal received via a band-limited (or otherwise non-ideal) channel. A first PAM-4 DFE architecture has low latency from the output of the samplers to the application of the first DFE tap feedback to the input signal. This is accomplished by not decoding the sampler outputs in order to generate the feedback signal for the first DFE tap. Rather, weighted versions of the raw sampler outputs are applied directly to the input signal without further analog or digital processing. Additional PAM-4 DFE architectures use the current symbol in addition to previous symbol(s) to determine the DFE feedback signal. Another architecture transmits PAM-4 signaling using non-uniform pre-emphasis. The non-uniform pre-emphasis allows a speculative DFE receiver to resolve the transmitted PAM-4 signals with fewer comparators/samplers.
