An intra prediction circuit device applied to the H.264 video coding standard is provided. The intra prediction device uses a method of decreasing the repeated operations of the shared terms of the video pixel data to reduce the circuit computation and simplify the hardware architecture. In the intra prediction scheme, the computational complexity can be lessened by implementing not only the adder based method but also decomposition technique to simplify the algorithm of the intra prediction.

An apparatus for processing an image with a discrete wavelet transform is provided. For one-dimensional circuit, the method changes conventional image data processing flow and uses common product of sequential calculations with respect to the time axis. The calculations for input data are not repeated so that components of the hardware architecture are minimized. For two-dimensional circuit, the method uses an external data scanning method to eliminate an external memory, transposing buffer, from a transforming circuit.

The present invention discloses a flip-flop implemented with metal-oxide semiconductors using a single low-voltage power supply and a control method thereof, wherein an external control signal is input to a power switch in order to turn on the power switch for an active mode or to turn off the power switch for a sleep mode and inputting an external sleep control signal; the power switch is used to control a combinational circuit to enter into the active or the sleep mode, and the combinational circuit is connected to a virtual power supply; an internal clock signal is separately input to a master stage and a slave stage of the flip-flop, and whether to enter into the sleep mode or the active mode is determined by the voltage level of the internal clock signal. In the present invention, all the logic gates of the combinational circuit are formed of low-threshold CMOS's, which enables the present invention to maintain a given operation speed at a lower voltage. The flip-flop of the present invention is formed of both low-threshold and high-threshold elements, whereby not only the operation speed can be maintained but also the leakage current can be suppressed spontaneously, and further, the wake-up time can be shortened.

A high speed variable length decoder can decode more than one code word in one cycle. A PLA used in the decoder includes extra product lines and extra output lines in order to detect and decode two successive short length code words in one cycle. When two short length code words are detected, a corresponding extra product line is activated and the two code words are decoded in the same cycle using an extra output line. For a digital video compression system, a significant speed-up in the variable length decoder can be achieved by the invention.
