Abstract
A decoding circuit may include a section information generation unit suitable for generating section information corresponding to a section in which an input signal has a first value, a period information generation unit suitable for generating period information corresponding to a period of the input signal, a reference information generation unit suitable for generating reference information by dividing a value of the period information by a given value, and a comparison unit suitable for determining a logic value of the input signal by comparing the section information with the reference information.
Claims18
A decoding circuit comprising:
- a section information generation unit suitable for generating section information corresponding to a length of a section in which an input signal has a first value;
- a period information generation unit suitable for generating period information corresponding to a length of a period of the input signal;
- a reference information generation unit suitable for generating reference information by dividing a value of the period information by a given value;
- and
- a comparison unit suitable for determining a logic value of the input signal by comparing the section information with the reference information,
- wherein the section information generation unit comprises:
- a first period signal generation unit suitable for generating a first period signal toggling with a preset period during the section in which the input signal has the first value;
- and
- a first counter suitable for generating the section information by performing a counting operation in response to the first period signal.
A method of decoding a signal, comprising:
- generating period information corresponding to a length of a period of an input signal;
- generating reference information by dividing a value of the period information by a given value;
- generating section information corresponding to a length of a section in which the input signal has a first value;
- and
- determining a logic value of the input signal by comparing the section information with the reference information
- wherein the generating of the section information comprises:
- generating a first period signal toggling with a preset period during the section in which the input signal has the first value;
- and
- generating the section information by performing a counting operation in response to the first period signal.
