Abstract:
This invention provides an impulsive noise suppression method in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing. The method comprises an equalization and de-mapping step for estimating a preliminary estimation of signal and a total noise estimation by utilizing ideal channel estimation, de-mapping, and pilot insertion technique on received signal; and a SNR comparison step for determining a SNR by dividing said preliminary estimation of signal and said total noise estimation and comparing said SNR with a threshold value.
Abstract:
An SRAM device is disclosed, which comprises a plurality of rows of SRAM cells and a line-buffer SRAM cell. Each row of SRAM cells is controlled by a word line. The line-buffer SRAM cell is coupled to the rows of SRAM cells and controlled by a read enable line. The signal on the read enable line is activated after the signal on the word line is activated, and part of the activated signal on the read enable line overlaps with the activated signal on the word line. The power provided to the line-buffer SRAM cell is selectively cut off. Alternatively, the power provided to the line-buffer SRAM cell is cut off when the signal on the read enable line is deactivated.
Abstract:
In a pipelined analog to digital converter with multiple stages of sub-converters, capacitor mismatch error can be reduced by splitting the capacitors into multiple numbers and randomly selecting part of the split capacitors as feedback capacitors. The selection of feedback capacitors can be made according to a digital output, clock phase, stage number of the sub-converter or the combination thereof. The approach of the present invention can be applied to the most significant bit (MSB) stage for a pipelined ADC. Moreover, a method for implementing the same is also proposed.
Abstract:
A method for driving an LCD monitor is disclosed. The LCD monitor includes a voltage selection unit used for outputting a plurality of driving voltages according to display data, and a plurality of output buffers each electrically connected to the voltage selection circuit and a corresponding pixel. In the beginning, an output port of each output buffer approaches voltage at an input port. Then, the output ports of the driving units, which approach the same input voltage, are electrically connected to have an average voltage. In addition, the LCD monitor further includes a timing controller for controlling operation of the output buffers. When output ports of the output buffers, which approach the same input voltage, are electrically connected, the output buffers are turned off for saving power.

A power saving method of a chip-on-glass liquid crystal display. The method first (a) wakes up the source drivers of the LCD and (b) transmitting the image data and control signals from the source driver corresponding to the FPC to the farthest waked source drivers, and then switching them to power-saving mode. Steps (b) and (c) are repeated until all the source drivers are switched to power-saving mode.

Abstract:
A serial driving device for driving a passive module according to a number of digital pixel data is provided. The serial driving device includes a digital-to-analog converting unit, an analog buffer, a shift register, and an output buffer unit. The digital-to-analog converting unit is used for outputting a number of analog pixel data in series according to the digital pixel data. The pixel data output from the digital-to-analog converting unit is then processed by the analog buffer, the shift register, and the output buffer. The output buffer unit includes a number of driving sub-units for receiving the analog pixel data from the analog buffer in parallel. Each driving sub-units includes an output buffer, a primary switch, and a secondary switch. The primary switch is first turned on to drive the output terminal of the driving sub-unit toward an output voltage corresponding to the analog pixel data received by the driving sub-unit, and if the analog pixel data received by the driving sub-units are corresponding to the same gray level, the secondary switch is then turned on to drive the output terminal of the driving sub-units toward an average voltage.
