    摘要: A current control semiconductor device that can detect a current with high precision within an IC of one chip by dynamically correcting a variation in a gain a and an offset b, and a control device using the semiconductor device are provided. A transistor 4, a current-voltage converter circuit 22, and an AD converter 23 are disposed on an identical semiconductor chip. Reference current generator circuits 6 and 6′ superimpose a current pulse Ic on a current of a load 2, and vary a voltage digital value output by the AD converter. A gain/offset correction unit 8 subjects a variation in a voltage digital value caused by the reference current generator circuits 6, 6′ to signal processing, and dynamically acquires gains a, a′ and offsets b, b′ in a linear relational expression of the voltage digital value output by the AD converter 23 and a current digital value of the load. A current digital value calculation unit 12 corrects a voltage value output by the AD converter with the use of the gain and the offset acquired by the gain/offset correction unit 8.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for compensating for gain offset, bias offset, and skew in a parallel processing environment is disclosed. The method and apparatus may be configured to compensate for mismatches between the sub-channel signals in a parallel ADC. This allows for accurate combination of the signals on the sub-channels. The method and apparatus may be utilized in a high speed data communication system having two or more channels, each of which are interleaved into two or more sub-channels. In one embodiment a DC loop processes signals on two or more sub-channels to account for and remove unwanted bias offset. In one embodiment a sub-channel gain mismatch compensation system (SCGMC) processes signals on two or more sub-channels to account for and remove unwanted gain offset. In one embodiment a skew compensation system, such as a parallel interpolator, processes signals on two or more sub-channels to remove unwanted skew across sub-channels.

    摘要: A digital-to-analog conversion system comprises a digital input, a digital-to-analog converter and a modified digital signal generator. The digital-to-analog converter has a conversion frequency and is subject to a periodic error having a periodicity equal to that of an N-th sub-harmonic of the conversion frequency, where N is an integer. The digital input is operable to receive a digital input signal. The modified digital signal generator is interposed between the digital input and the digital-to-analog converter and is operable in response to the digital input signal to generate a modified digital signal. The modified digital signal comprises a dynamic digital mitigation component that mitigates the periodic error of the digital-to-analog converter.
