Method of stabilizing data of digital signals
A method of stabilizing data of digital signals is provided. The method includes steps of: (a) determining whether or not next input data is larger than previous output data, if yes, adding a base value to a trend value and then performing step(c), if no, performing step(b); (b) determining whether or not the next input data is smaller than the previous output data, if yes, subtracting the base value from the trend value and performing step(c), if no, performing step(c); (c) determining whether or not the trend value is larger than a positive threshold, if yes, subtracting a trend correction coefficient from the previous output data, if no, performing step(d); and (d) determining whether or not the trend value is smaller than a negative threshold, if yes, adding the trend correction coefficient to the previous output data; if no, outputting the previous output data.
