    摘要: A method includes: delaying an excursion of at least one signal a first number of clock phases when the excursion departs from a value in a first direction; and delaying the excursion of the at least one signal a second number of the clock phases when the excursion departs toward the value in a second direction. The first number of clock phases is different from the second number of clock phases. The at least one signal effects a plurality of succeeding excursions in substantial synchrony with a clocked signal presenting succeeding clock cycles having a plurality of the clock phases in each respective clock cycle.

    摘要: In accordance with some embodiments, the complexity of motion estimation algorithms that use Haar, SAD and Hadamard transforms may be reduced. In some embodiments, the number of summations may be reduced compared to existing techniques and some of the existing summations may be replaced with compare operations. In some embodiments, additions are replaced with compares in order to balance delay and area or energy or power considerations.

    摘要: An apparatus includes: a signal receiving unit receiving an input signal and presenting a first signal varying within a first signal range; a signal treating unit coupled with the signal receiving unit, receiving the first signal and presenting a second signal varying within a second signal range; and an output unit coupled with the signal treating unit. The signal treating unit and the output unit receive a control signal. The signal treating unit responds to the control signal to provide the second signal to the output unit when the control signal has a first value and to not provide the second signal to the output unit when the control signal has a second value. The output unit permits presentation of an output signal when the control signal has the first value and establishes the output signal at a predetermined value when the control signal has the second value.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a processor includes a multiply-accumulate (MAC) unit having a first path to handle execution of an instruction if a difference between at least a portion of first and second operands and a third operand is less than a threshold value, and a second path to handle the instruction execution if the difference is greater than the threshold value. Based on the difference, at least part of the third operand is to be provided to a multiplier of the MAC unit or to a compressor of the second path. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    摘要: A sense amplifier transition encodes an output signal onto a bus such that the bus signal only transitions when a sensed bit line has a state different from the state of a previously sensed bit line. The sense amplifier includes a storage element that changes state when the bus signal is asserted. The output of the sense amplifier is conditionally inverted based on the state of the storage element.
