To provide a data encoding circuit capable of securing real-timeness of a recording operation even in a memory of a low operation clock frequency by reducing the number of times of accessing the memory, and simultaneously reducing power consumption and memory costs. Prior to error correction encoding of a PI direction, error correction encoding of a PO direction is carried out at a PO arithmetic operation circuit (105), and an obtained PO code is added to corresponding data and written in a memory (101). Subsequently, data are read line by line in a PI direction from the memory (101) to a PI arithmetic operation circuit (110), a PI code is added to the data, and the data are sequentially output to a modulation circuit (200). Thus, it is possible to omit memory access when the data is read from the memory (101) to the modulation circuit (200) and memory access when the error correction code is written in the memory by the PI arithmetic operation circuit. As a result, it is possible to reduce an operation clock frequency of the memory.

A road path searching apparatus applicable to a car navigation system is disclosed. Road map data with different level of detail for defining a predetermined area is stored previously in a memory device. First, nodes Nai and Nbj adjacent to each of the search nodes Pa and PB are detected based on map data having a high level of detail. When nodes Nai and Nbj exist on a map of a lower level of detail, a map of one lower level of detail is selected as a map to be used in the searching process. Accordingly, as following searching process is performed based on the map data of lower level of detail, required processing time is reduced.

In a semiconductor module including multiple semiconductor devices, a signal that flows through a bonding wire connected to one semiconductor device is prevented from acting as noise which affects another semiconductor device, thereby improving the operation reliability of the semiconductor module. A second semiconductor device provided alongside a first semiconductor device includes a current output electrode via which large current is output. The current output electrode is electrically connected to a substrate electrode provided to a first wiring layer via a bonding wire such as a gold wire. The bonding wire is provided across the side E2 of the second semiconductor device. The bonding wire connected to the first semiconductor device is provided across a side of the first semiconductor device that corresponds to the side El of the second semiconductor device, i.e., the side F2, F3, or F4 of the first semiconductor device.

A data processor compatible for use with a CD and a DVD includes a first modulation circuit for modulating recording data for recording on a CD to generate first modulated data. A second modulation circuit modulates recording data for recording on a DVD to generate second modulated data. A write signal generation circuit generates a first write signal, which is written to the CD, from the first modulated data, and a second write signal, which is written to the DVD, from the second modulated data. The write signal generation circuit is commonly used for the CD and the DVD to reduce the circuit area of the data processor.
摘要:
To provide a data encoding circuit capable of securing real-timeness of a recording operation even in a memory of a low operation clock frequency by reducing the number of times of accessing the memory, and simultaneously reducing power consumption and memory costs. Prior to its writing in a memory (101), data from a host is processed by an EDC arithmetic operation circuit (110) and a scrambling arithmetic operation circuit (111), and written in the memory (101). Next, error correction encoding of a PO direction is executed at a PO arithmetic operation circuit (105), and an obtained PO code is added to corresponding data to be written in the memory (101). Subsequently, the data are read in a PI direction line by line from the memory (101) to a PI arithmetic operation circuit (112). A PI code is added to the data, and the data are sequentially output to a modulation circuit (200). Thus, it is possible to omit memory access when the data is written from the host in the memory, memory access when the data is read from the memory to the EDC arithmetic operation circuit, memory access when the data is read from the memory (101) to the modulation circuit (200), and memory access when the error correction code is written from the PI arithmetic operation circuit in the memory. As a result, it is possible to greatly reduce an operation clock frequency of the memory.

A decoder having improved accuracy for reading data. The decoder decodes reproduced data including preamble data, to which a first synchronization pattern is added, and information data, which follows the preamble data and to which a second synchronization pattern is added. The decoder includes a memory for storing a first, second, and third comparison patterns respectively corresponding to the first synchronization pattern, the preamble data, and the second synchronization pattern. A comparison circuit compares the first synchronization pattern, the preamble data, and the second synchronization pattern respectively with the corresponding comparison patterns. A determination circuit generates a start signal to start decoding when at least two of the first synchronization pattern, the preamble data, and the second synchronization pattern match the corresponding comparison pattern. A decoding circuit starts error correction of the reproduced data in response to the start signal.

An access circuit for efficiently accessing a buffer memory in accordance with an instruction from an external circuit. An access data unit for accessing a SDRAM in one operation clock cycle of the access circuit may be switched between one byte, one word, and two words. The switching of the access data unit is performed in accordance with a data unit designation signal generated by decoding address data, which is provided to a control unit, with an address decoder. The memory interface receives a request signal that is in accordance with the data unit designation signal from a request generator and accesses the buffer memory in the access data unit that is in accordance with the request signal.
摘要:
A decoder for improving the reliability of synchronization pattern detection. The decoder includes a synchronization circuit for detecting a synchronization pattern from LPP data and wobble data. A first frame counter is reset when a synchronization detection circuit detects the synchronization pattern of a first sector and counts the number of frames of data until the synchronization pattern of the next sector is detected. A comparison circuit compares a count value of the first frame counter with a first reference value, which corresponds to the number of frames for one sector. A determination circuit determines whether or not the detected synchronization pattern is proper based on the comparison result of the comparison circuit.
