    摘要: A method for providing back-compatibility for rational sampling rate disparities between two circuitries, comprises: a) providing a Phase Locked Loop (PLL) operating at a rate different than that of the Symbols generator, which is coupled to a Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) or an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC); b) providing an interpolation filter coupled to said converter, which filter is adapted to perform sampling rate conversion operations on the samples using zero-stuffing, filtering, and decimation, or the like computation-saving algorithm; and c) obtaining the sampling of the symbols at the required and compatible rate.

    摘要: A sampling device comprises a clock source that provides a clock frequency, a converter with a receiving port for receiving the clock frequency, and a re-sampler located in a digital domain of the sampling device. The clock source is configured to vary the clock frequency over time. The clock source is configured to forward the clock frequency to the converter in order to change a sampling rate of the converter in dependency of the clock frequency. An output sample rate of the sampling device is fixed.

    摘要: According to one embodiment, an electronic circuit includes a first delay element, a second delay element, a first hold circuit and a quantization circuit. The first delay element obtains a first signal by delaying a first pulse signal. The second delay element obtains a second signal by delaying the first signal. The first hold circuit holds a first voltage of an input signal corresponding to the first signal. The second hold circuit holds a second voltage of the input signal corresponding to the second signal. The quantization circuit obtains a third signal and a fourth signal each with different rising times based on a second pulse signal, to quantize the first voltage based on the third signal, and to quantize the second voltage based on the fourth signal.

    摘要: An analog-to-digital converter (“ADC”) includes an input terminal configured to receive an analog input voltage signal. A first ADC stage is coupled to the input terminal and is configured to output a first digital value corresponding to the analog input voltage signal and a first analog residue signal corresponding to a difference between the first digital value and the analog input signal. An inverter based residue amplifier is configured to receive the first analog residue signal, amplify the first analog residue signal, and output an amplified residue signal. The amplified residue signal is converted to a second digital value, and the first and second digital values are combined to create a digital output signal corresponding to the analog input voltage signal.

    摘要: The present invention provides a voltage difference measurement circuit comprising a level shifting circuit, an ADC and a calculation circuit. In the operations of the voltage difference measurement circuit, the level shifting circuit adjusts levels of a supply voltage and a ground voltage to generate an adjusted supply voltage and an adjusted ground voltage, respectively. The ADC performs an analog-to-digital converting operation upon the adjusted supply voltage and the adjusted ground voltage to generate a first digital value and a second digital value, respectively. The calculation circuit calculates a voltage difference between the supply voltage and the ground voltage according to the first digital value and the second digital value.

    摘要: A solar cell power conversion device is disposed between a solar cell and a consumer premises distribution system. A storage battery power conversion device is disposed between a storage battery and the consumer premises distribution system. When an AC effective voltage in the consumer premises distribution system deviates from a voltage range defined in accordance with dead zone information transmitted from HEMS, system voltage stabilization control for returning the AC effective voltage to fall within the voltage range is performed by control of active power and reactive power that are output from a first DC/AC conversion circuit and a second DC/AC conversion circuit.
