    摘要: A cabin management system is described. The cabin management system includes a housing. The housing is configured to receive one or more modules. The modules may be detached and reattached to the housing. The modules may be rearranged to achieve a desired layout of touchscreens, audio converter, and input/output ports. The modules may include a geometry which provides a flush-mounting between the housing and the modules. The flush-mounting may prevent a passenger from accessing the cavity defined by the housing. The audio converter includes a digital-to-analog converter and an audio jack. The digital-to-analog converter converts an uncompressed digital audio signal to an analog audio signal. The audio jack receives a stereo analog signal and outputs the stereo analog signal to an audio plug.

    摘要: A digital-to-analog converter and an operation method thereof are provided. The digital-to-analog converter includes a current source module, a decoder, a change indicator, and a random number generator. The decoder is coupled to the current source module and receives a digital input signal. The change indicator is coupled to the decoder and provides an indication signal to the decoder. The random number generator is coupled to the change indicator and provides a random number signal to the change indicator. The change indicator generates an indication signal according to the random number signal, and the decoder generates a control signal to the current source module according to the digital input signal and the indication signal, so that the current source module generates an analog output signal corresponding to the digital input signal according to the control signal.

    摘要: Embodiments of the disclosure provide improved mismatch shaping for a digital to analog converter, the method including splitting an original input of a circuit into a plurality of time interleaved data streams; element rotation selection (ERS) logic to process the plurality of time interleaved data streams; and directing one of the plurality of time interleaved data streams to the ERS logic according to a decision of a data-weighted sigma-delta (SD) modulator. In other example implementations, the method can further include multiplexing one of the plurality of time interleaved data streams to be provided to a barrel shifter. In yet other examples, the method can include monitoring a difference between the plurality of time interleaved data streams as a basis for the directing such that a data sample rate for the digital to analog converter is reduced over a time interval.

    摘要: A method and circuit for performing vector operations may include, for each sequentially performed operation, operating a switch that corresponds to a current bit-order. Operating the switch may cause a value corresponding to an output of the operation to be stored on a capacitor corresponding to the current bit-order. A time interval during which the switch is operated may be non-uniform with respect to time intervals for other switches, and the time interval may be based at least in part on a settling time of the capacitor. The method may also include performing a bit-order weighted summation of values stored on the plurality of capacitors to generate a result of the vector operation.

    摘要: This application provides a novel capacitive DAC structure, which at least includes a fully differential DAC capacitor array, a comparator, and a sampling and holding switch provided between the fully differential DAC capacitor array and the comparator. In this application, by providing the sampling and holding switch, including a first logic switch, a second logic switch and a third logic switch, between the fully differential DAC capacitor array and the comparator, and changing the timing relationship of the switches to generate a stable common mode level Vcm, the area and power consumption can be greatly reduced, the IP competitiveness can be effectively improved, and it can be used for high-performance ADC design.
