摘要： A graphics display subsystem that allows rejection of double buffer display of pixel data in a graphics layer is provided. The subsystem has a memory containing a plurality of pixels represented by binary bits, wherein each pixel is divided into two or more sub-pixel fields, and wherein one or more bits of a particular sub-pixel field of a given pixel are set to a predetermined double buffer reject value when the given pixel corresponds to a single buffer display application. A double buffer reject circuit compares one or more bits of a double buffer sub-pixel field of a given pixel with a predetermined double buffer reject value to determine equality of the one or more bits and the predetermined value, wherein the given pixel is represented by binary bits and wherein the given pixel is divided into two or more sub-pixel fields including the double buffer sub-pixel field. The double buffer reject circuit receives a buffer select signal selecting one of the two or more sub-pixel fields of the given pixel to be accessed during a current display frame. In response, the double buffer reject circuit accesses the selected sub-pixel field of the given pixel when the buffer select signal does not select the double buffer sub-pixel field or when the buffer select signal selects the double buffer sub-pixel field and the comparison does not show equality, and further the double buffer reject circuit accesses one of the two or more sub-pixel fields of the given pixel that is not the double buffer sub-pixel field when the buffer select signal selects the double buffer sub-pixel field and the comparison shows equality. A digital-to-analog converter in communication with the double buffer reject circuit receives the pixel data contained in the sub-pixel field accessed by the double buffer reject circuit and converts the pixel data into analog video signals for driving a monitor display device.

摘要： An extended error code particularly applicable to a code that can correct any number of errors in one sub-field but can only detect the existence of any number of errors in two sub-fields. If the initial pass of the data through the error correction code indicates an uncorrected error, the data is complemented and restored in the memory and then reread. The retrieved data is recomplemented and again passed through the error correction code. If an uncorrected error persists, then a bit-by-bit comparision is performed between the originally read data and the retrieved complemented data to isolate the hard fails in the memory. The bits in the sub-field associated with the hard fail are then sequentially changed and then the changed data word is passed through the error correction code. A wrong combination is detected by the error correction code. The sequential changing continues until the bits in the sub-field associated with the hard fail match the originally stored data, in which case the error correction code can correct the remaining errors in the remaining sub-fields.

摘要： A programmable serializer comprising a multi-bit input port, a multi-bit output port, at least one multiplexer and at least one programmable address counter corresponding to the multiplexer for generating a sequence of multiplexer data input addresses that are inputted into the multiplexer address input. The multiplexer has an output connected to the multi-bit output port, an address input and a plurality of data input channels having addresses. Each data input channel is connected to a corresponding bit of the multi-bit input port. At least one data input channel is coupled to the multiplexer output when the corresponding address of the data input channel is applied to the address input. The programmable address counter receives and stores an initial address value, an address increment value and a count value and generates a sequence of addresses based on these values. The initial address value represents the multiplexer data channel that is to be initially coupled to the multiplexer output. The address increment value represents the increment that must be added to a current address in order to reach a next address. The count value represents the number of address that must be generated by the counter prior to restarting the sequence at the initial address value.

摘要： An access control function for an integrated system is provided which determines data access based on the master id of a requesting master within the system and the address of the data. The access control function can be inserted, for example, into the data transfer path between bus control logic and one or more slaves. In addition to determining whether to grant access to the data, the access control function can further qualify the access by selectively implementing encryption and decryption of data, again dependent on the data authorization level for the particular functional master initiating the request for data.

摘要： A graphics system comprising a format processor for receiving display data including pixel data and color-blending information for at least two (2) separate display layers, a color blender and color processors. The pixel data includes color information for the display layers. The color-blending information determines weighting factors for use in blending the colors of the display layers. The format processor outputs separate streams of pixel data, one for each display layer, as well as the weighting factors. Each stream of pixel data outputted by the processor is inputted into a corresponding color processor that assigns colors to a particular display layer according to the color information in the corresponding pixel data. The color blender blends the colors assigned to the display layers according to the weighting factors.
