Patent ID: 8010322

Claim:
An apparatus configured as an integrated circuit, comprising: signal-conditioning circuitry configured to perform a coarse-correction on a signal input thereto and to output a coarsely-conditioned signal therefrom, wherein the coarse-correction on the signal compensates the signal for one or more error(s); a storage location storing predetermined coefficients for use in performing a fine-correction on the coarsely-conditioned signal that is output from said signal-conditioning circuitry; a coarsely-conditioned-signal output coupled to said signal-conditioning circuitry and coupleable to an end-user device; a coefficient output coupled to said storage location and coupleable to the end-user device; and wherein when said coarsely-conditioned signal output and said coefficient output are coupled to the end-user device, said end-user device receives the coarsely-conditioned signal from said signal-conditioning circuitry via said coarsely-conditioned signal output and receives said predetermined coefficients from said storage location via said coefficient output to perform the fine-correction.
