Abstract:
The disclosure is directed to a system and method for accessing one or more values of a lookup table. In some embodiments, one or more read only memory devices are configured for storing a first plurality of values of the lookup table, and one or more combinational logic circuits are configured for accessing a second plurality of values of the lookup table. At least one of hardware area and timing pressures are mitigated through various storage and access schemes.
Abstract:
Various embodiments of the present invention provide apparatuses and methods for encoding and decoding data for constrained systems with reduced or eliminated need for hardware and time intensive arithmetic operations such as multiplication and division.
Abstract:
The disclosure is directed to a system and method for interleaving data utilizing a random access buffer that includes a plurality of independently accessible memory slots. The random access buffer is configured to store slices of incoming data sectors in free memory slots, where a free memory slot is identified by a status flag associated with a logical address of the free memory slot. Meanwhile, a label buffer is configured to store labels associated with the slices of the incoming data sectors in a sequence based upon an interleaving scheme. Media sectors including the interleaved data slices are read out from the memory slots of the random access buffer in order of the sequence of labels stored by the label buffer. As the media sectors are read out of the random access buffer, the corresponding memory slots are freed up for incoming slices of the next super-sector.

Abstract:
An apparatus having first-in-first-out storage and reserved storage is disclosed. In one or more embodiments, the apparatus includes memory circuitry having first-in-first-out storage and reserved storage. The first-in-first-out storage and the reserved storage include an array of data elements having contiguous addresses across the first-in-first-out storage and the reserved storage. The memory circuitry includes a first-in-first-out pointer for referencing an index corresponding to a data element of the array of data elements of the first-in-first-out storage to be read and a read pointer mapped to the first-in-first-out pointer and for referencing a memory location of the data element to be read. The read pointer is mapped such that the read pointer does not reference a plurality of data elements stored in the reserved storage.
