    摘要: A voltage regulator includes a voltage driving circuit and a current sinking unit. The voltage driving circuit is controlled to maintain an output signal at an output node. The current sinking unit is coupled to the output node for generating a sinking current for diverting an external current to the output node. An error amplifier generates a control signal from the output signal and a reference signal. The voltage driving circuit and the current sinking unit are controlled according to such a control signal.

    摘要: A half-bridge three-level pulse width modulation (PWM) amplifier includes a prescaling unit, a PWM generator configured to convert the input signal to a three-level PWM signal having a first level, a second level and a reference level and an output stage. The prescaling unit scales an input signal according to at least one gain value to provide a scaled signal. The PWM generator varies the width of pulses having the first level and varies the width of pulses having a second level based on the scaled signal. The output stage drives an output node to a level of a first power supply voltage, a second power supply voltage or a third power supply voltage based on the three-level PWM signal. The output node is connected to a load. The magnitude of the at least one gain value compensates for variations of power supply voltages.

    摘要: In a method of interfacing a high-speed signal, a series of digital signals are received from a transmitter in response to a clock signal. The received digital signal is coded based on a K-L level pulse amplitude modulation system in response to the clock signal, wherein K and L are natural numbers and K≠L. The received digital signal is repeatedly coded and the coded digital signal is transferred to a receiver. As a result, crosstalk between adjacent channels may be reduced.
