Title: Innovations of Ming-Chi Lin
Introduction
Ming-Chi Lin is a prominent inventor based in Hsinchu, Taiwan. He has made significant contributions to the field of electronics, holding a total of 4 patents. His work focuses on advanced technologies that enhance the performance and efficiency of electronic systems.
Latest Patents
Ming-Chi Lin's latest patents include a "Receiver and common-mode voltage calibration method thereof." This invention provides a receiver that includes sensing circuits, a phase comparator, and a self-calibration circuit. The phase comparator compares phase relationships of the latch results at the output terminals of the sensing circuits during a testing period to produce a phase comparison result. During this period, the self-calibration circuit provides the same differential signal to the input terminals of these sensing circuits, setting common-mode levels at the input terminals to be different from one another. The self-calibration circuit determines a calibrated common-mode level based on the phase comparison result and adjusts the common-mode levels during normal operation.
Another notable patent is the "Phase-locked loop with novel phase detection mechanism." This invention includes a phase frequency detector (PFD), a controller, a digital-to-analog (D2A) module, and a voltage-controlled oscillator/current-controlled oscillator (VCO/ICO). The PFD has a reference signal input and an input from the output signal of the VCO/ICO, connected to the controller. The D2A module converts the control signal from the controller into an analog voltage to control the frequency and phase of the VCO/ICO. The novel phase detection mechanism allows for phase detection by observing signal level transitions without edge alignment.
