摘要:
A relatively simplified sampling frequency converter for use in a format conversion apparatus is operative to convert sampled input data of an input sampling frequency into sampled output data of an output sampling frequency. The converter has an over-sampling circuit for increasing the sampling frequency of the sampled input data by a predetermined factor or coefficient to provide over-sampled data; an output data extractor for periodically extracting data from the over-sampled data in response to a timing pulse having the output sampling frequency; and a controller for controlling the phase of the timing pulse which controls the phase of the sampled output data.

In a sampling rate converter, an input digital video signal has its sampling rate converted from a first sampling frequency to a second or different sampling frequency by oversampling the input digital video signal at a rate which is an integral multiple of the first sampling frequency so as to generate zero values between data of the input digital video signal, interpolating an output signal from the oversampled input digital video signal, decimating the interpolated output signal for generating therefrom a digital video signal having the desired second sampling frequency, and only then applying the digital video signal having the second sampling frequency to a low pass filter, preferably of the finite impulse response type, for eliminating therefrom an undesirable signal component which is due to the sample rate conversion and which appears between frequency bands of one-half of the first and second sampling frequencies, respectively.

In a method and apparatus for encoding and decoding data in the residue number system, input binary data are supplied to an encoder to be divided by moduli m.sub.0, m.sub.1, m.sub.2, . . . m (i.e., positive integers having a mutually prime relation). Residue data corresponding to respective moduli are output from the encoder to a digital filter circuit including a plurality of digital filters, each filter corresponding to a respective modulus. Processing for some specified application is performed by the digital filters based, for example, on the Mixed Radix Conversion Method method to generate output data still in the residue format. The residue data output from the digital filters then are input to a decoder to be converted back into binary data. Encoding is performed by splitting n-bit straight binary data into, for example, upper bit data and lower bit data, received by respective ROM tables. Each ROM table outputs a value to another common ROM table which outputs the converted residue data. The ROM tables convert the binary data by weighing each input bit by a value corresponding to the particular bit. The capacity needed for the ROM tables is reduced, enabling the encoder circuit configuration to be simple and fast. Decoding is performed by scaling down RNS data to obtain a plurality of residue data corresponding to respective moduli, adding one to a fixed bit of the residue data for discriminating positive and negative numbers, and performing addition on such residue data with fixed moduli to obtain binary data.

A sampling rate converting apparatus is arranged in such a manner that, in a case where the frequency ratio of a first or a second sampling frequency holds a simple integral relationship, its oversampling filters are composed of FIR type digital filters the length of each of which corresponds to the least common multiple of the frequency ratio so that the first or the second sampling frequency of the digital signal is converted into the second or the first sampling frequency.A sampling rate converting apparatus is arranged in such a manner that coefficients to be given to weighting means of oversampling filters are changed by selecting coefficient data of coefficient generating means including a plurality of selectable coefficient data so that, in a case where the frequency ratio of the first or the second sampling frequency does not hold a simple integral relationship, the first or the second sampling frequency of the digital signal can be converted into the second or the first sampling frequency.
摘要:
A digital signal processing circuit of a so-called RNS system in which a residue number system ("RNS") encoder for converting input data into RNS code data is provided with a converter for connecting the input data into a multiple of one or more of the moduli of the RNS code. The converter is operated in the case of occurrence of trouble in the processing system of the modulus to locate the site of the trouble on the basis of the output of the digital signal processing circuit.

An automatic offset compensating bipolar A/D converter circuit includes an A/D converter and a feedback circuit, which automatically compensates offset error between a specific level of input having analog voltage and a specific output code of output digital value corresponding to that input analog voltage. The A/D converter can convert the input analog voltage, which includes residual noises more than 1 LSB, into an output digital value. The feedback circuit can add a compensation voltage to the input analog voltage so as to equalize the posibilities of occurrence of codes which are more than and less than a specific output code of an output digital value to each other in accordance with an output digital value.
