    摘要: The present disclosure discloses a memory access interface device. A clock generation circuit generates reference clock signals. Each of access signal transmission circuits each includes a duty cycle adjusting circuit, a duty cycle detection circuit, a frequency division circuit and an asynchronous first-in-first-out circuit. The duty cycle adjusting circuit performs duty cycle adjustment on one of the reference clock signals according to a duty cycle detection signal to generate an output clock signal having a duty cycle. The duty cycle detection circuit detects a variation of the duty cycle to generate the duty cycle detection signal. The frequency division circuit divides a frequency of the output clock signal to generate a read clock signal. The asynchronous first-in-first-out circuit receives an access signal from a memory access controller and outputs an output access signal according to the read clock signal to access the memory device accordingly.

    摘要: A capacitive sensing device includes a switch circuitry, a counter circuit, a comparator circuit, an amplifier circuit including first and second input terminals and an output terminal, and a feedback capacitor coupled between the output terminal and the first input terminal. The switch circuitry transmits a reference voltage to the second input terminal and couples the first input terminal to the output terminal during a first phase, transmits another reference voltage to the second input terminal during a second phase, and adjusts a voltage of the output terminal during a third phase. The counter circuit starts counting and the comparator circuit generates the control signal according to the output voltage and the second reference voltage during the third phase. The counter circuit stops counting according to the control signal to generate a count value indicating a capacitance value change of a capacitor under-test coupled to the first input terminal.

    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 time-interleaved analog to digital converter includes first and second capacitor array circuits, first and second transfer circuits, a fine converter circuitry, and an encoder circuit. The capacitor array circuits sample an input signal and generate first residues according to first quantization signals. The first and second transfer circuits transfer first and second residues respectively. The fine converter circuitry performs a noise shaping signal conversion on the first and second residues to generate a second quantization signal. A turn-on time of the corresponding first transfer circuit is determined based on the coarse conversion corresponding to a first capacitor array circuit and the noise shaping signal conversion corresponding to a second capacitor array circuit to selectively bring forward a start time of the noise shaping signal conversion. The encoder circuit generates a digital output according to the first and the second quantization signals.
