摘要:
A system and method use an aligning device to align clock signals of two logic devices before data transfer between them. In this example, the aligning device aligns a clock signal of a sequencer with a clock signal of a storage device before the sequencer transfers data to the storage device. The aligning device includes a phase detector that receives a first reference clock signal, which is used to control the storage device, and a delayed signal, which is used to control the sequencer, and generates a comparison clock signal. The comparison clock signal is filtered before being used to control a phase of a second reference clock signal, which is related to the first reference clock signal. The phase controlled second clock signal is an aligning clock signal that is feed back to a delay device to produce one or more subsequent delay device clock signals that are aligned to the storage device clock or first reference clock signal. These subsequent delay device clock signals are transmitted to the aligning device and to the sequencer before each transfer occurs.

A signal processing circuit operates upon digitized signals from a plurality of linear color sensors that are spatially separated in the page scanning direction by a predetermined number of lines. The digitized signals are realigned in a line rephasing circuit, which provides sets of rephased color values for each scanned element of the original. A matrix multiplication is performed in a row sequential process upon the rephased signals by a group of multipliers, one multiplier for each row coefficient of the matrix. Each multiplier receives a rephased signal and a series of coefficients multiplexed into the circuit from a group of row coefficient registers. By clocking the rephased signals at a submultiple of the coefficient rate, a row-sequential matrix operation is serially performed in a pipelined manner.

A system and method are used to allow high speed communication between a circuit and an external device. The system and method include a PLL with multiple phased outputs configured to be controlled digitally, a deskew PLL configured to align a clock of controller circuitry to interface circuitry, and a phase interpolated voltage controlled delay line configured to phase shift incoming signals. Analog design techniques of phase interpolation accurately position clocks and strobe signals that are required for high speed interfaces. The high speed interface is for transmitting and receiving signals from the external device, for example, a DDR DRAM.

A digital line delay architecture is provided that requires a minimum of chip space, has low power requirements, is variable or programmable in length, and is flexible to permit changes in aspect ratio. The digital line delay architecture is self-multiplexing and therefore requires no external addressing for the multiplexing function, and is particularly suited for use as a video line delay in a single chip digital image processing device. In particular, a pointer unit is employed to sequentially address a plurality of word storage locations provided in a storage unit. The pointer unit includes a number of shift-registers that sequentially shift a logic "1" along the length of the pointer unit to accomplish the addressing.

A digital processing system is described for processing luminance and chrominance signals from a single, multi-color image sensor. By concentrating signal improvements and corrections into an application-dependent post-processing phase, the pre-processing functions are isolated in a signle, generic pre-processor integrated circuit that provides fully interpolated color signals in a real-time system by utilizing a fully pipelined architecture. The pre-processor circuit separates luminance and chrominance interpolation so as to operate partly in quantized linear space and partly in quantized logarithmic space. The image signals are processed in a black reference clamp, a defect concealment circuit and a color separation and luminance interpolation circuit in linear space, using right shifts and additions to approximate predetermined multiplications. The signals are then transformed into hue signals and processed in log space for white balance and chroma (hue) interpolation. With the log green signal separately adjusted for gain, quantized red, green and blue signals are output from the pre-processor integrated circuit.

A color filter array for use with an electronic image sensor is disclosed, wherein the red and blue filter elements of the color filter array are arranged to correspond with an interleaved chrominance channel pattern. Thus, actual red and blue values are utilized to generate interleaved chrominance channel information instead of interpolated values as required by conventional CFA patterns.
摘要:
An integrated circuit that uses the same coefficient registers, multipliers and adders to perform both matrix multiplication and convolution operations. The multipliers are arranged in columns and rows with the matrix multiplication adders located in the corresponding columns and with the adder for producing the convolution output located in one of the columns. A mode selection switch causes the multiplexers to change input data routing based on the mode selected. The circuit allows loading of all the coefficients or selection of hardwired coefficients. By rerouting the inputs of the multipliers using the multiplexers, the circuit can be easily configured for either mode of operation. The outputs corresponding to the columns are either output directly during matrix multiplication or provided to the convolution adder. The provision of an internal pseudo random number generator, serial inputs and outputs for test data and a signature analysis signal generating circuit allows the circuit to be easily internally tested.
