SINGLE-ENDED ANALOG SIGNAL RECEIVER APPARATUS
A single-ended analog signal receiver apparatus is provided, which can cope with an external ground current and an undefined impedance through an AC bootstrap input impedance, while considering electromagnetic compatibility, convert a received single-ended analog signal into a balanced output differential signal, and may provide at a post-stage circuit output an output signal with lower noise through common mode rejection.
FLASH ANALOG TO DIGITAL CONVERTER
A flash analog to digital converter includes a voltage generator circuit, an encoder circuit, and first and second double differential amplifier circuits. The voltage generator circuit generates reference voltages according to first and second voltages. The encoder circuit generates a digital signal corresponding to an input signal according to first signals. The first double differential amplifier circuit compares the input signal with a first reference voltage in the reference voltages, to generate a corresponding one of the first signals. The second double differential amplifier circuit compares the input signal with a second reference voltage in the reference voltages, to generate a corresponding one of the first signals. A difference between the first voltage and the first reference voltage is less than that between the first voltage and the second reference voltage, and the first and the second double differential amplifier circuits have different circuit architectures.

Server with capability of duplicating video source signal
A server utilizes a BMC to divide a video source signal into original analog and digital component signals, and stores the digital component signal in a set of registers of a duplicator. An ADC converts the original analog component signal into a converted digital component signal, which is stored in another set of registers of the duplicator. A switch set of the duplicator is switched to output a pair of the converted and the original digital component signals. One DAC converts the converted digital component signal into a converted analog component signal, which together with the original digital component signal, serves as a duplicated video signal.
