    Abstract: A signal processing circuit comprising a clip-generation-block. The clip-generation-block is configured to receive an input-signal; and determine a clip-signal that comprises only values of the input-signal that exceed a clipping-threshold. The signal processing circuit also comprises a scaling-block configured to apply a scaling-factor to the clip-signal in order to generate a scaled-clip-signal, wherein the scaling-factor is greater than one; and an adder configured to provide a clipped-signal based on a difference between the scaled-clip-signal and the input signal.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) device including an SRAM module coupled to wrapper logic is disclosed. The wrapper logic includes an error correction code (ECC) encoder configured to encode input data in accordance with an ECC encoding scheme and output the encoded input data to the SRAM module, an ECC decoder configured to decode output data received from the SRAM module, output the decoded output data, and write decoding information back to the SRAM module, an error controller coupled to the ECC decoder that is configured to control the ECC decoder in accordance with the ECC encoding scheme, and a central controller coupled to the components of the wrapper logic and the SRAM module in order to control operations between the components of the wrapper logic and the SRAM module.
