The common mode voltage level shifting and locking circuit includes an operational amplifier, a source follower, a first feedback circuit, and a second feedback circuit. The operational amplifier generates a first common mode voltage. The source follower shifts the first common mode voltage to generate a second common mode voltage. The first feedback circuit generates a first control signal according to the second common mode voltage. The operational amplifier adjusts the first common mode voltage according to the first control signal. The second feedback circuit generates a second control signal according to an external reference voltage provided by a next stage circuit. The source follower adjusts the second common mode voltage according to the second control signal such that the next stage circuit reaches a maximum input common mode range.
Abstract:
A power source equipment for Power over Ethernet system continues to inspect power consumption of all connecting ports, in order to adjust power allocation to the communication ports. When the power consumption of a particular connecting port shows a trend of increase, its power allocation is increased; otherwise, decreased. After a total power allocation is decreased, additionally available power may be generated and provided to an additional communication port. A method for adjusting the power allocation is also disclosed.

An echo canceller and an echo cancellation method are provided. In the echo cancellation method, a transmitting data sequence is received, and M taps are provided accordingly. In addition, the M taps are received, and N taps are output according to an echo distribution information, in which the M and N are natural numbers, and M>N. Besides, the N taps are multiplied by N tap coefficients respectively to generate N products. Further, the N products are summed up to generate an echo cancellation signal. Thereby, the cost of the echo cancellation is decreased.

Abstract:
A system and a method for generating an interrupt are provided. In the interrupt generating method, a time-out mechanism is executed by a second network component of a computer system after a packet processing action is finished. An interrupt is generated by the second network component only if a first network component of the computer system does not execute a polling action during a predefined period after the time-out mechanism is processed. Thus, it is not necessary to generate the interrupt every time after processing a network packet, so that less interrupts are generated and accordingly the loading of the computer system is reduced. Moreover, the reaction time of the computer system is kept to ensure the efficiency of the computer system.
