Abstract

See full text

A method, for calibrating signal processing devices in an interface circuit coupled to a host device, comprises: negotiating with the host device in a link up process about an operation mode for the interface circuit to operate in a calibration procedure; and calibrating a characteristic value of a first signal processing device and a characteristic value of a second signal processing device in the calibration procedure. The first signal processing device is disposed on a receiving signal processing path and configured to process a received signal and the second signal processing device is disposed on a transmitting signal processing path and configured to process a transmitting signal, and the interface circuit is configured to operate based on the operation mode in the calibration procedure.
