Medical imaging system including means to increase data transfer speeds by simultaneously transferring data from latches to registers and from registers to latches

摘要

A customized random access memory circuit is provided to allow the processing of extremely high amounts of data in an area of very small physical size. The chip contains a group of interconnected registers with a set of input ports and a set of output ports. The input ports have individual write enable signals to allow them to write to selected address locations. A switching circuit is provided to ensure that the proper data from the proper input port goes to the chosen address location. A first and second set of latches are provided where the first set of latches are connected to a multiplexor first and the second set of latches are connected to a second multiplexor. The chip also contains a cycle skipping chip to allow the data to maintain its position and not be transferred through at least one clock cycle. Selected data sets which are going to be outputted have the data internally swapped to prepare it for use in floating point operations.
