Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a hardware extension for accelerating fractional integer division within 3D graphics and MP3 applications. This invention allows a digital signal processor (DSP) in a data processing system to perform high-speed division operations. In one embodiment, a division operation is performed in no more than two cycles. In another embodiment, the division operations are in fractional format. The data processing apparatus comprises a random access memory, a processor, and an interface that couples the random access memory to the processor, enabling high-speed division operations. This interface can also be combined with a dual or co-processor system to enhance data processing efficiency.
Another significant patent is the unified interleaver/de-interleaver. This device can be used for multiple interleaving algorithms and look-up tables (LUTs) of various interleaving standards. In some embodiments, the interleaver/de-interleaver includes an initial value selector, offset selector, and a pruning adjuster connected to a combining block. It may also feature a boundary regulator that modifies the output of the combining block according to predetermined rules. Furthermore, a controller is coupled to the initial value selector, offset value selector, and offset adjuster, allowing the interleaver/de-interleaver to interleave or de-interleave a block of data according to multiple interleaving algorithms.
