    摘要: A quadrant alternate switching phase interpolator includes first and second multiplexer circuits, a phase interpolator circuitry, and a controller circuitry. The first multiplexer circuit outputs one of first and second clock signals to be a first signal in response to first and third bits in a quadrant control code. The second multiplexer circuit outputs one of third and fourth clock signals to be a second signal in response to second and fourth bits in the quadrant control code, and the first, the third, the second, and fourth clock signals are sequentially different in phase by 90 degrees. The phase interpolator circuitry generates an output clock signal in response to the first and the second signals and phase control bits. The controller circuitry performs a bit-shift operation on the phase control bits to adjust a phase of the output clock signal.

    摘要: A photoplethysmography front-end receiver is capable of eliminating an error in the estimation of an ambient-light current. The receiver includes a current-to-voltage conversion circuit, an integrator, a switch circuit, and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The current-to-voltage conversion circuit converts an input current into a differential voltage signal. The integrator receives the differential voltage signal and outputs an analog output voltage. The switch circuit is set between the current-to-voltage conversion circuit and the integrator, forwards the differential voltage signal to the integrator in a first duration when a controllable light source is turned on, and forwards an inverted signal of the differential voltage signal to the integrator in a second duration when the controllable light source is turned off, wherein the second duration is after or before the first duration. The ADC generates a digital signal for analysis according to the analog output voltage after the second duration.
