    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the number of signal lines to be laid. SOLUTION: Parallel data latched by latch circuits 14a to 14c are respectively supplied to their lower latch circuits 14b to 14d through respective selector circuits 13b to 13d and the parallel data latched by the lowermost latch circuit 14d are supplied to the uppermost latch circuit 14a through a selector circuit 13a. Thus a circulation loop for circulating the parallel data A to D latched by the latch circuits 14a to 14d is formed. A master clock signal MCK is supplied to a reset circuit 16 and a clock signal CK extracted from the circuit 16 is supplied to the latch circuits 14a to 14d through a selector circuit 15. Consequently the parallel data A to D are circulated and latched by the latch circuits 14a to 14d and the data of the latch circuit 14d e.g. are transmitted to a multiplier 3.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To control any specified chrominance signal and to enable chrominance signal control with a little information. SOLUTION: Based on the control of a microcomputer by the setting operation of an operating part, for example, a chroma serial I/O interface (SIO) 41 generates a prescribed control signal and in the case of converting a color difference signal at a phase/gain control circuit 36, whether a phase or a gain is operated, whether an R-Y signal or a B-Y signal is to be controlled and which quadrant is to be controlled are discriminated. Then, optimum X and Z signals satisfying these discriminated conditions are supplied to a phase/gain control circuit 36B for each picture element. Based on the X and Z signals, the phase/gain control circuit 36B generates the R-Y and B-Y signals from R-G and B-G signals.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To improve the distortion characteristic of the receiver by connecting a power supply circuit of a mixer circuit and a power supply circuit of an intermediate frequency amplifier circuit in series and connecting both ends of the connection to the power supply so as to increase a DC bias current of the circuits rationally. CONSTITUTION:A voltage Vcc of a power supply 20 is divided into a parallel circuit comprising a parallel circuit section 22 and a voltage regulator 33 and an intermediate frequency amplifier circuit 19 connecting in series with the parallel circuit. Thus, a power supply voltage of almost Vcc/2 is fed respectively to both terminals of the parallel circuit of a local oscillation circuit 14 or 17, a mixer circuit 12 or 15 and the voltage regulator 33 and both terminals of the amplifier circuit 19 each comprising a differential amplifier circuit. Thus, the power supply voltage given to each circuit is halved to increase to double a bias current deciding the operating region of differential pair transistors(TRs) in the mixer circuits 12, 15 and the amplifier circuit 19 by halving the power supply voltage given to each circuit.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable processing of a video signal with low power consumption with an inexpensive configuration, and display a video image of a picked-up object with excellent image quality.
    SOLUTION: An image pickup section 10 generates the video signal of a picked-up image. A video signal processing device 20 applies video size changing processing or video signal converting processing according to a display unit 30 to the video signal of a picked-up image. The video signal subjected to the processing by a size change processing circuit 231 is held in a register 232. A signal conversion processing circuit 233 performs signal processing using the video signal held in the register 232. A video signal of the picked-up image for which a plurality of signal processes are completed is written into an eDRAM 22, and this written video signal is supplied to the display unit 30 to display a moving image. Thus, the number of times of writing or reading of the video signal into the eDRAM 22 is small, and power consumption is reduced. Also, deterioration in a frame rate can be prevented without widening the band of a transmission path, and the moving image with satisfactory image quality can be performed.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a false color compressing circuit and method capable of surely reducing the level of a false color at the time of high contrast generated on principle without increasing the number of gates of a main low pass filter(LPF). SOLUTION: Change-over switches 38, 39 are switched by a correction pulse supplied from an OR gate 41 through a detection signal width adjusting circuit 42 and a detection signal phase adjusting circuit 43 at the time of high contrast. Consequently data S2 are substituted for data S1 obtained prior to filtering processing by a pre-LPF 26 and the data S1, S2 are supplied to the main LPF 40 so as to remove a level difference between two inputs of the main LPF 40.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To enlarge a variable range of an oscillation frequency by decreasing the parasitic capacity of a positive feedback path, and enlarging a variation ratio of the variable capacity of an oscillation circuit being parallel to the parasitic capacity like an equivalent circuit. CONSTITUTION:An oscillation output of an oscillation differential amplifier 2 is subjected to positive feedback to a base of a transistor Q2 for forming a differential pair and oscillated through a transistor Q12 of an emitter follower input means 17B. In this case, the parasitic capacity viewed from a resonance circuit 4 becomes equivalent to that which connects the parasitic capacity of Q12 in series to the parasitic capacity of Q3 and Q2 of an amplification stage 3, and becomes that of a small number pF. Accordingly, by forming the parasitic capacity being in parallel to a variable capacitor C3 of the oscillation circuit 4 to an extremely small one and enlarging a variable capacity ratio of C3, a variable range of an oscillation frequency can be enlarged.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To correctly display data which is designed to specific resolution on a PDA according to its screen size. SOLUTION: Low-resolution data which need to be compatible are normally sent out to an image conversion part through data buses LD0 and LD1 (Fig. 10A). The image conversion part two times-magnifies the data from the data bus LD0 laterally and outputs it to an LCD through LCD buses D0 and D1, and two times-magnifies the data from the data bus LD1 laterally and outputs it to the LCD through LDC buses D2 and D3 (Fig. 10B). The LCD latches the data sent through the LCD bus D0 to D3 successively according to clock pulses (CLK) and outputs latched data of one line longitudinally twice according to double pulses (DBLLP). Consequently, the data which need to be compatible are two times-magnified laterally and longitudinally and displayed on the LCD.
