    Abstract: A receiver, which is compatible with a mobile industry processor interface (MIPI) C-PHY physical layer, includes a plurality of variable-gain amplifiers responsive to respective multi-level signals (e.g., 3-level signals), and a plurality of filters having variable cutoff frequencies. The plurality of filters are responsive to respective signals generated by the plurality of amplifiers. An array of comparators is provided, which is responsive to signals generated by the plurality of filters. A jitter detection circuit is provided, which is configured to set respective gains of the plurality of variable-gain amplifiers and respective cutoff frequencies of the plurality of filters (e.g., high-pass filters), in response to signals generated by the array of comparators.

    Abstract: A measuring apparatus for a vacuum chamber capable of accurately measuring physical properties or quantities in the vacuum chamber in an exposure process in real time, and a measuring system including the measuring apparatus are described herein. The measuring apparatus includes: a body having a shape of an exposure mask used in an exposure process; and a measuring element in an interior of the body or on a first surface of the body. When the measuring apparatus is positioned in a vacuum chamber during the exposure process, the measuring apparatus is configured to measure physical properties in the vacuum chamber using the measuring element. The body or the measuring element is configured to withstand a vacuum in the vacuum chamber including resisting or preventing physical deformation of the body or the measuring element due to the vacuum.
