A USB device with a clock calibration function and a method for calibrating reference clocks of a USB device are provided. A USB 2.0 initial calibration is performed on the USB device in order to control an embedded oscillator (EMOSC) of the USB device to output a first reference clock compliance USB 2.0 specification and USB 3.0 specification during the initialization phase. After that, a USB 3.0 on-line calibration is performed on the USB device in order to control the EMOSC of the USB device to calibrate a second reference clock during a super-speed mode of USB 3.0 specification.

Generating reference clocks in USB device by selecting control signal to  oscillator form plural calibration units

An apparatus and method for detecting vertical blanking interval (VBI) is disclosed. The apparatus can automatically detect the presence and type of a VBI signal, so as to perform corresponding VBI decoding subsequently. The apparatus includes a digitizing module and a detecting module. The digitizing module converts a television signal into a digital signal according to a level value. The detecting module detects if the digital signal includes a VBI signal, and if yes, further determines the type of the VBI signal.

A data recovery device and a method thereof for processing a television signal having a plurality of horizontal scan signals are disclosed. The data recovery device includes a reference level processing unit and a data processing circuit. The method for data recovery is by means of the reference level processing unit to generate a plurality of reference levels according to a reference component of each of the horizontal scan signals. And the data processing circuit is used to process the N+1th horizontal scan signal in accordance with the Nth reference level.
