The invention provides a semiconductor integrated circuit for communication control and a wireless communication system using the same realizing reduction in the size of a chip and the size of a module by enabling trimming data to be written into a nonvolatile memory without increasing the number of external terminals. A rewritable nonvolatile memory is provided in a semiconductor integrated circuit, characteristics of circuits including an electronic part are measured and trimming data for correcting variations in the characteristics is stored in the nonvolatile memory. A pin and an interface circuit such as a test pin and a JTAG interface circuit which are originally provided for the semiconductor integrated circuit also serve as an input pin and an interface circuit for sending and storing the trimming data to the nonvolatile memory.

The present invention features performance of operation processing between a signal obtained by converting a coefficient into a Booth code with a Booth encoder, storing the Booth code in a memory device in advance and reading out the stored Booth code for processing an input signal in a semiconductor operation device or a digital filter. As a result, a coding operation by a Booth encoder of the present invention will be performed only once at the time of rewriting a coefficient and will not be repeated, thereby enabling a high-speed operation and realizing reduction of circuit scale at the same time by using an encoded Booth code directly in an operation after a coefficient has been determined.

The present invention contemplates an improved multiplier circuit and method for reducing power consumption by reducing the number of transitions to the input of the multiplier. Each input to the multiplier is fixed for as long as possible by reordering the sequence of the multiplications to take advantage of duplicate input values. The intermediate results of each multiplication are stored in separate accumulators to obtain the final resultants. Power consumption is further reduced through a reduction in the number of transitions on the data bus linking the multiplier and the data register file containing the accumulators.

The memories are used as look-up tables.

When each sample is expressed by digital signals of 8 bits, 8 bits constituting each of the digital signals are divided into data of upper 5 bits including the most significant bit, and data of lower 4 bits including the least significant bit. These two data are respectively inputted to two filter circuit units, and are simultaneously subjected to a filtering process separately. Outputs of these two filter circuit units are inputted to an adder. In the adder, the output of the filter circuit unit being data of upper 5 bits subjected to a filtering process is weighted by a factor of 2 to the 4th power, and the weighted output is added to the output of the other filter circuit unit. The results of adding are outputted from the adder as signals obtained by the original digital signals of 8 bits subjected to the filtering process. Since the number of bits of individual data is made small by the division, the operation speed of computing elements and the number of times of recursive or multiple uses of computing elements are increased so that the circuit scale of the entire filter circuit can be reduced.
摘要:
A digital signal processor for computing a vector product between a column vector input signal including a plurality of data items (x0, x1, x2, . . . , x7) and a matrix including a predetermined number of coefficient data items so as to produce a column vector output signal including a plurality of data items (y0, y1, y2, . . . , y7). In a first cycle, the leading data x0 of the column vector input signal is stored in a first store unit (Rin), whereas during this period of time, in a second cycle shorter in time than the first cycle, the data items (c0, c1, c2, . . . , c7) in the row direction constituting a first portion of the matrix are sequentially read out such that both data items are multiplied, thereby storing the multiplication results in an accumulator. A similar data processing is repeatedly executed so as to obtain, based on the outputs from the accumulator, a column vector output signal constituted by the plurality of data items (y0, y1, y2, . . . , y7).
