Described herein are semiconductor device packages with EMI shielding and related methods. In one embodiment, a semiconductor device package includes: (1) a substrate unit; (2) a grounding element disposed adjacent to a periphery of the substrate unit and extending upwardly from an upper surface of the substrate unit; (3) a semiconductor device disposed adjacent to the upper surface; (4) a package body disposed adjacent to the upper surface and covering the semiconductor device and the grounding element; and (5) an EMI shield disposed adjacent to exterior surfaces of the package body and electrically connected to a lateral surface of the grounding element. A lateral surface of the package body is substantially aligned with a lateral surface of the substrate unit. The grounding element corresponds to a remnant of a conductive bump, and provides an electrical pathway to ground electromagnetic emissions incident upon the EMI shield.

The present invention offers an over-sampling digital-to-analog converter with variable sampling frequencies to process input signals of variable sampling frequencies. The over-sampling digital-to-analog converter comprises an expander, which expands said input signals with a fixed rate of M to produce over-sampling signals; a digital low-pass filter, which filters out high-frequency ingredients of over-sampling signals and then outputs data with a first rate; a data buffer, which receives the outputted data by said digital low-pass filter with the first rate and outputs the data with a second rate; a modulator, which reads data in said data buffer with the second rate and modulates the data; a digital-to-analog converter, which converts the modulated data to analog signals; and an analog low-pass filter, which filters out high-frequency ingredients of said analog signals for producing output signals. No matter how the sampling frequency of the input signals is, due to reading rates of the modulator are the same, the over-sampling digital-to-analog converter ensures that noise is mostly distributed in the high-frequency band.

The variable gain amplifier of the present invention includes at least an operation amplifier. By choosing one of output stages, a feedback resistor is selected and the gain of the variable gain amplifier is decided according to the resistance of the selected feedback resistor, as desired. By adjusting the gain of the variable gain amplifier, the received signals can be amplified or attenuated in accordance with design requirement. The variable gain amplifier can include a two-stage architecture, in which a first stage is used for coarse gain adjustment and a second stage is used for fine gain adjustment. The gain of the two-stage variable gain amplifier can be easily adjusted to a desired value.

A ratio meter includes a converter circuit, a first counter, a delay circuit, and a second counter. The converter circuit is configured to receive a temperature-independent signal, to convert the received temperature-independent signal into a first frequency signal during a first phase, to receive a temperature-dependent signal, and to convert the temperature-dependent signal into a second frequency signal during a second phase. The first counter is configured to receive the first frequency signal and to generate a control signal by counting a predetermined number of pulses of the first frequency signal count. The delay circuit is configured to delay the control signal for a predetermined time delay. The second counter is configured to receive the second frequency signal and to generate a count value by counting the second frequency signal.

A vacuum sensor for sensing vacuum in a sealed enclosure is provided. The sealed enclosure includes active MEMS devices desired to be maintained in vacuum conditions. The vacuum sensor includes a motion beam anchored to an internal surface in the sealed enclosure. A driving electrode is disposed beneath the motion beam and a bias is supplied to cause the motion beam to deflect through electromotive force. A sensing electrode is also provided and detects capacitance between the sensing electrode disposed on the internal surface, and the motion beam. Capacitance changes as the gap between the motion beam and the sensing electrode changes. The amount of deflection is determined by the vacuum level in the sealed enclosure. The vacuum level in the sealed enclosure is thereby sensed by the sensing electrode.

One or more techniques for buffer offset modulation or buffer offset cancelling are provided herein. In an embodiment, an output for a sigma-delta analog digital converter (ADC) is provided using an output of a first chop-able buffer (FB) and an output of a second chop-able buffer (SB). For example, the output of the FB is associated with a first offset, the output of the SB is associated with a second offset, and the output of the ADC includes an ADC offset associated with the first offset and the second offset. In an embodiment, buffer offset modulation is provided by modulating the ADC offset using an offset rotation. In an example, the offset rotation is based at least in part on a reference clock and the output of the ADC. The buffer offset modulation mitigates the first offset or the second offset, where such offsets are generally undesired.

An audio processing system for used in a multi-channel audio chip includes a multiplexer, a digital-to-analog converter, a de-multiplexer, a controller and N sample-and-hold circuits. The multiplexer receives N digital signals and outputs the digital signals one by one in a time-division manner. The digital-to-analog converter receives the digital signals from the multiplexer and converts them into corresponding N analog signals. The de-multiplexer outputs the analog signals one by one in a time-division manner. The controller generates control signals to control the selection of the multiplexer and the de-multiplexer. The sample-and-hold circuits hold the analog signals for a predetermined period of time and then outputs the signals, respectively.
