20110001535SEQUENTIAL CIRCUIT WITH DYNAMIC PULSE WIDTH CONTROL - A pulsed latch circuit with conditional shutoff prevents an input node, such as a node receiving data, of the pulsed latch circuit, from latching data based on a delayed input control signal, such as an internal clocking signal, and based on a feedback latch state transition detection signal indicating that a current state of input data is stored in the latch. As such, two control conditions are used to shut down the latch. In one example, a condition generator detects when the latch has captured data correctly and outputs a signal to disable the input node. In addition, a variable delay circuit is used to adjust the width of the allowable input signal to set a worst case shutoff time. If data is latched early, a feedback latch state transition detection signal causes the input node to be disabled. If data is not latched early, the maximum allowable latch time is set by the variable delay circuit.01-06-2011

20080267293Video Encoder Software Architecture for VLIW Cores - This invention is a method of video encoding. The number N macroblocks stored in a temporary buffer depends upon an estimated number of motion vectors. N macroblocks of current and prior frame data is transferred to the temporary buffer.

The inter and intra macroblocks are separately encoded based upon this determination and stored in an output buffer. Output macroblocks are output from the output buffer in raster scan order. This technique permits the process to loop over differing number of macroblocks in differing parts of the encoding process. Entropy encoding complexity from separating inter and intra macroblock encoding is avoided by separating a symbol generation phase from an encoding phase.10-30-2008
