    Abstract: An oscillator includes a first current source, a second current source, a first chopper circuit, a resistive component, a capacitive component, and a processing circuit. The first current source provides a first current. The second current source provides a second current. The first chopper circuit includes a first terminal coupled to the first current source, a second terminal coupled to the second current source, a third terminal coupled to the resistive component, and a fourth terminal coupled to the capacitive component. The processing circuit generates an output clock in response to a first voltage across the resistive component and a second voltage across the capacitive component. The first chopper circuit couples the first terminal and the second terminal to the third terminal and the fourth terminal, respectively and alternately. The resistive component and the capacitive component receive the first current and the second current, respectively and alternately.

    Abstract: A control circuit for a main switch is provided. The control circuit includes an output voltage tracker, a main switch bias generator, and a reference current device. The output voltage tracker is coupled to the main output end and generates a first tracking voltage positively correlated to an output voltage. The main switch bias generator, in response to the first tracking voltage, generates a second tracking voltage substantially equal to the output voltage. The reference current device is coupled to the main switch bias generator and is used to generate a control voltage on a main control end. The reference current device is used to limit the maximum value of the output current. The main switch and a duplicating switching element of the main switch bias generator form a current mirror configuration circuit. The consuming current of the output voltage tracker is positively correlated to the output current.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a digital television signal reception system, comprising a chip having a low-noise amplifier and a master receiver, at least one slave receiver, and at least one local-oscillator leakage processing unit. The chip receives at least one digital input signal of television channel. The low-noise amplifier amplifies and sends the input signal of television channel to the master/slave receiver. The input signal of television channel is frequency-mixed by the master/slave receiver so as to output an output signal of second television channel and an output signal of second television channel. The local-oscillator leakage processing unit detects and removes local-oscillator leakage of the master receiver included in the output signal of second television channel, so as to avoid interference of the local leakage of master receiver on sensitivity of receiving the output signal of second television channel of slave receiver by the slave television.
