The present invention discloses a DAC circuit and a weight error estimation/calibration method thereof. In the method, an output switching circuit dynamically selects several conversion cells (at least containing know weight conversion cells (KWCC)) as a reference conversion cell group (RCCG) from all conversion cells, and dynamically selects at least one unknown weight conversion cell (UWCC) from all UWCCs. An ADC digitalizes the difference of the output of RCCG and the sum of the outputs of the UWCCs, and inputs the result to a digital controller. The digital controller controls the input of the RCCG according to the output of the ADC to make the output of the RCCG approximate the output of the UWCC. The digital controller uses the outputs of the ADC to work out the actual weights of the UWCCs and stores the actual weights in a calibration memory.

A periodically resetting integration angle demodulation device and a method using the same is disclosed, which uses a waveform multiplier and a periodically resetting integrator to modulate a continuous-time angle modulation signal into a discrete-time signal. The waveform multiplier multiplies the continuous-time angle modulation signal by a square wave signal whose frequency is integer times a carrier frequency, and then transmits the continuous-time angle modulation signal to a periodically resetting integrated circuit. The periodically resetting integrated circuit performs integration during a carrier period to generate a discrete-time angle modulation output signal. The present invention can greatly reduce the difficulty for designing an optical sensing system in the front end without limiting a modulation depth. Besides, the present invention achieves a small volume, high speed, high sensitivity, high reliability, high performance and high condition-adapting properties.
