    摘要: Circuits and methods for computing an order N polynomial include V decimation stages, each stage including respective multiply-and-accumulate circuitry. The multiply-and-accumulate circuitry in each stage k, in response to an input r-term and a plurality of input z-terms 0 through (Nk−1), generates output z-terms 0 through (Nk/2−1) and an output r-term as a square of the input r-term. Each output z-term i is a sum of input z-term (2i+1) of the input z-terms and a product of input z-term 2i and the input r-term. The multiply-and-accumulate circuitry in decimation stages k for k≤(V−1) provides the output r-term and one or more output z-terms from decimation stage k as the input r-term and one or more input z-terms to the respective multiply-and-accumulate circuitry of decimation stage k+1. A recursive stage inputs from decimation stage V, the output r-term as a recursive r-term and the output z-terms as a-terms, and generates a polynomial output value z by a recursive evaluation of the recursive r-term, the a-terms, and a modulus, p.

    摘要: A data compression device includes an analog to digital converter (ADC) configured to convert an analog signal into a digital signal including in-phase and quadrature components; and a compressor configured to generate a 28-bit fixed-point digital signal in which bits of the in-phase and quadrature components are alternately arranged, generate an exponent bit string by comparing n most significant bits of a data bit string excluding two sign bits in the 28-bit fixed-point digital signal with preset mapping data, wherein the exponent bit string includes 4 bits, generate a mantissa bit string composed of 14 bits corresponding to up to 14th bit from a bit next to the n most significant bits of the data bit string, and generate a 20-bit floating point digital signal by combining the two sign bits, the exponent bit string, and the mantissa bit string, wherein n is a natural number equal to or greater than 2 and equal to or less than 12.

    摘要: A method and system of an analog to digital conversion having an exponential result are provided. An analog input signal is received by the ramp ADC. The analog input signal is converted into an N-bit digital signal having a linear relationship with the analog input signal. An internal gated clock signal is generated based on the received first clock signal. The gated clock signal is used as an input to an M-bit register. An output of the M-bit register is multiplied by a predetermined factor. The product of the multiplication is provided as an input to the M-bit register. The output of the M-bit register provides an M-bit output having an exponential relationship with the analog input signal.

    摘要: A digital signal processor is provided having an instruction set with an xK function that uses a reduced look-up table. The disclosed digital signal processor evaluates an xK function for an input value, x, by computing Log(x) in hardware; multiplying the Log(x) value by K; and determining the xK function by applying an exponential function in hardware to a result of the multiplying step. One or more of the computation of Log(x) and the exponential function employ at least one look-up table having entries with a fewer number of bits than a number of bits in the input value, x.

    摘要: The technology described in this document relates to filters and functions that are based on exponential decay functions. In one aspect, the technology is embodied in a method that includes using a computing device to compute a first function as a combination of (i) an exponential decay function, a decay factor for which is chosen based on a Gaussian function, and (ii) at least a second function that is obtained by one or more convolution operations on the decay function. The first function provides an approximation of at least a portion of the Gaussian function.
