摘要： A method and device is provided for controlling access to a resource by a bus master over a bus coupling the bus master to the resource. The resource includes an intelligent component that controls the operation of the resource. A series of packets is transmitted over the bus between the bus master and the resource, at a transmission speed controlled by the bus master. A request/response logic in the resource controllably throttles transmissions of the packets at the resource, at specified time intervals. Each of the time intervals is set at a time period to assure sufficient time for the intelligent component to complete processing tasks contained in the packets.

摘要： A method and apparatus for draining video data from a planarized video buffer in a video camera. The method includes the steps of reading a first sequence of video data from a first plane of the planarized image buffer starting at a buffer address indicated by a first pointer, and then reading a second sequence of video data from a second plane of the planarized image buffer starting at a buffer address indicated by a second read pointer. The apparatus includes an address generation unit and a sequence counter. The address generation unit includes a number of read pointers each configured to indicate a memory location within a different data plane of a video buffer. The address unit is configured to address a sequence of memory locations in a video buffer starting at a location indicated by an active one of the read pointers. The sequence counter is configured to detect when a final memory location of the sequence of memory locations has been addressed by the address generation unit and, in response, to select a different one of the read pointers to be the active read pointer.

摘要： A video scaling engine for scaling video data over a plurality of clock cycles is disclosed. In a first clock cycle of the plurality of clock cycles, a multiplier of the video scaling engine multiplies an input pixel by a coefficient indicated by a coefficient select signal to generate a first product. The first product is stored in an accumulator of the video scaling engine. In a second clock cycle of the plurality of clock cycles, the multiplier multiplies another input pixel by a coefficient indicated by another coefficient select signal to generate a second product. The second product is added to the contents of the accumulator to produce a sum including the first and second products. The sum including the first and second products is stored in the accumulator and then divided by a value based on at least one of the coefficients to produce a scaled output pixel.

摘要： An apparatus for managing power in an electronic device that receives the power from a bus is described. The apparatus comprises a clock enable circuit that disables a clock that generates nominal clock frequencies derived from raw frequencies output by an oscillator upon receiving a first signal. A time-wise independent time reference circuit is coupled to the clock enable circuit. The time-wise independent time reference circuit sends the first signal to the clock enable circuit a first predetermined period of time after receiving a signal to enter into a suspend state.

摘要： A method and apparatus for storing data values received within respective cycle periods of a clock signal are disclosed. Data values are alternately stored in first and second data hold registers and then output by each data hold register for a time greater than a cycle period of the clock signal. Address values at which the incoming data values are to be written are alternately stored in first and second address hold registers. Data stored in the first data hold register is written to a latch-based memory element in a first memory bank indicated by an address value stored in the first address hold register. Data stored in the second data hold register is written to a latch-based memory element in a second memory bank indicated by an address value stored in the second address hold register.

摘要： The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for asynchronously transferring data from a first synchronous sequential logic circuit which derives its clock source from a first clock to a second synchronous sequential logic circuit which derives its clock source from a second clock, whereby metastability of the second synchronous sequential logic circuit is avoided. The invention comprises a data path and a control path; a data synchronizer coupled to the data path for synchronizing data signals; a control synchronizer coupled to the control path for synchronizing control signals; a register coupled in parallel to the data path for storing valid data output from the data synchronizer; a multiplexor having one input coupled to the data path, another input coupled to the register, a selector input coupled to the control path for selecting between receiving as input synchronized data signals or the contents of the register, and an output for transmitting valid data. If metastability is unlikely, the control signal is deasserted causing the multiplexor to select the synchronized data as input. If metastability is likely, the synchronized control signal is asserted causing the multiplexor to select the register as input. The basic test is whether to accept the new state of the data signal or wait and use the old state currently maintained in the register, until such time as the likelihood of metastability has passed, as indicated by the synchronized control signal.
摘要翻译：本发明涉及一种用于从第一同步顺序逻辑电路异步传送数据的方法和装置，其将其时钟源从第一时钟导出到第二同步顺序逻辑电路，该第二同步顺序逻辑电路从第二时钟导出其时钟源，避免了第二同步顺序逻辑电路。本发明包括数据路径和控制路径; 数据同步器，耦合到数据路径，用于同步数据信号; 耦合到控制路径的控制同步器，用于使控制信号同步; 与数据路径并行耦合的寄存器，用于存储从数据同步器输出的有效数据; 多路复用器，其具有耦合到数据路径的一个输入端，耦合到该寄存器的另一输入端，耦合到该控制路径的选择器输入端，用于在接收作为输入同步数据信号或寄存器的内容之间进行选择，以及用于发送有效数据的输出。如果亚稳态不太可能，则控制信号被解除无效，导致多路复用器选择同步数据作为输入。如果亚稳态可能，则同步控制信号被断言，导致多路复用器选择该寄存器作为输入。基本测试是接受数据信号的新状态还是等待并使用当前维护在寄存器中的旧状态，直到达到亚稳态的可能性为止，如同步控制信号所示。
