摘要： A low-power multi-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) driver, and a semiconductor device having the same, in which the multi (M)-level PAM driver includes a load unit, first and second current sources, a pair of first input transistors, a pair of second input transistors, and a current source controller, where M is an integer greater than 3. The load unit is electrically connected to an output terminal, and the first and second current sources respectively supply a first amount of current and a second amount of current to the load unit. The pair of first input transistors electrically connects the first current source and the load unit in response to a first bit signal, and the pair of the second input transistors electrically connects the second current source and the load unit in response to a second bit signal. The current source controller activates or deactivates one of the first and second current sources in response to the first and second bit signals. Accordingly, current sources for a multi-level PAM driver are selectively activated or deactivated, thereby minimizing power consumption in the multi-level PAM driver.

摘要： The present invention relates to a ROM division method for reducing the size of a ROM in a direct digital frequency synthesizer (DDFS), which is used to synthesize a frequency in a communication system requiring fast frequency conversion. A ROM consuming most energy in the system, a modified Nicholas architecture is brought forth to reduce the size of ROM. In this modified Nicholas architecture, a ROM is divided into coarse ROM and fine ROM to convert phase to sine value. The present invention divides the coarse ROM and the fine ROM into quantized ROM and error ROM respectively. Then, value stored in each ROM is segmented in certain intervals and the minimum quantized value in each of the section is stored in the quantized ROM, while the difference between the original ROM value and the quantized ROM value is stored in the error ROM. This way, the size of a ROM can be reduced. Phase value inputted in a DDFS, a sine value is calculated by adding the four ROM values, i.e., coarse-quantized ROM, coarse-error ROM, fine-quantized ROM and fine-error ROM.
