APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR REGULATING BURSTY DATA IN A SIGNAL PROCESSING PIPELINE

摘要

A device and a method for regulating burst data in a signal processing pipeline are provided to decrease a silicon area and complexity about an interface design, reduce a developing cost, and reuse a processing device in a new product by providing an adaptive flexible interpolator in the signal processing pipeline. A dynamic repetition distributor(304) determines a time spacing among a plurality of first data samples inputted to a signal processing pipeline and calculates a sample spacing count value related to the time spacing. A register(306) stores the sample spacing count value until the time spacing among the first data samples is changed. A comparator(308) outputs a control signal to the signal processing pipeline. The signal processing pipeline outputs a plurality of second data samples by responding to the control signal. A sample cycle counter connects an output terminal to an input terminal of the comparator when the comparator is connected. The signal processing pipeline includes more than one interpolation filter pipeline, a pipeline for processing a repair function, a hardware divider pipeline, and the pipeline for processing lookup table data.
