    摘要: The present invention discloses a DAC method having signal calibration mechanism. A first conversion circuit generates a first analog signal according to an input digital signal. A second conversion circuit generates a second analog signal according to the input digital signal and a pseudo-noise digital signal. An echo transmission circuit processes a signal on an echo path to generate an echo signal. A first and a second calibration circuits generate a first and a second calibration signals. A calibration parameter calculation circuit performs calculation according to a difference between the echo signal and a sum of the first and the second calibration signals and related path information to generate a first and a second offsets. The first and the second calibration circuits converge first and second response coefficients and update a first and a second codeword offset tables according to the first and the second offsets.
