Abstract:
A method allows changing an image raster direction from an application raster direction to a screen raster direction, in-flight while pixel values of an image are transferred successively from an application output memory (10) to a display unit (12). A single buffer memory array (11) is implemented between the application output memory and the display unit. Two writing orders for cells of the buffer memory array are used in turn, each combined with a different reading order for said cells. The method can be hardware-implemented, and is adapted for burst-handling of the pixel values.

Abstract:
There is described a circuit and a method of detecting a voltage polarity for the detection of a Continuous Conduction Mode to Discontinuous Conduction Mode boundary of a switched DC-DC converter. There is provided use of a dynamic current mirror to store in a first capacitor (C) a voltage representative of the conduction voltage (V DS(Φ1) )of the power switch, at the end of a conduction cycle of said power switch. Also, an auto-zero comparator is used to charge the output voltage of the dynamic current mirror into a second capacitor (C 2 ), during the first phase of operation corresponding to a conduction cycle of the power switch, and to detect the polarity of the conduction voltage (V DS(t=TCLK ))of the power switch at the end of the first phase of operation of the DC-DC converter, by comparing the voltage stored in the second capacitor during the first phase of operation with the output voltage of the dynamic current mirror in a second phase of operation (Φ 2 ) corresponding to a non-conduction cycle of the power switch.

Abstract:
A pulse width modulation controller (PWM) is disclosed which has a MOSFET (15) responsive to the error voltage (Verror) signal from the PWM amplifier (17) to detect a transient condition without delay ∆Td. The MOSFET drain generates and applies a detection signal (S) to a delaying circuit (D).

This arrangement reduces voltage undershoot.
