Patent number: 7978110Abstract: A system for converting a digital signal to an analog signal is provided. The present invention provides a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that can convert a large bit value digital signal to a corresponding analog signal. The digital-to-analog converter includes a bias regeneration circuit, and three sub-DACs. The bias regeneration circuit provides biasing to the three sub-DACs allowing the DAC to be implemented with smaller circuit area. In addition, the three sub-DACs may be digitally calibrated during the conversion process to increase the linearity of the DAC.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2010Date of Patent: July 12, 2011Assignee: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd.Inventors: Yu-Jen Lai, Mei-Chen Chuang, Wen-Shen Chou

Patent number: 7627672Abstract: A network packet storage method and network packet transmitting apparatus using the same is provided. A packet content and a path control information are obtained from a received packet, and a packet storage address of the packet content is determined according to a predetermined storage rule. The packet content is stored in a data block and packet storage addresses and path control information of packets output via the same output port are stored in a control block. The data block is output when its size reaches a predetermined data block size such that a dynamic random access memory receives the data block by using burst mode. Further, the control block is output when its size reaches a predetermined control block size.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2006Date of Patent: December 1, 2009Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Yu-Jen Lai, Hsin-Chieh Chiang

Publication number: 20090065174Abstract: A heat sink for an electrical device has a frame and at least one fin. The frame has an inner chamber. The fin is mounted in the inner chamber of the frame to separate the inner chamber of the frame into at least two channels. Therefore, heat generated from any electrical element connected to or mounted on the heat sink will transfer evenly to the heat sink. The heat sink not only dissipates heat evenly, but also provides multiple channels to dissipate heat by convection. Because the heat sink only has one frame, assembly of an electrical device is easy and quick.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2007Publication date: March 12, 2009Inventors: Yu-Jen Lai, Song-Kai Su
