    Abstract: A system-on-chip (SoC) architecture includes a plurality of blocks (12; M1, M2, ..., Mn; S1, S2, ..., Sk), each including a power control module (20) to selectively control the power dissipated by the block: For each block of said plurality (12; M1, M2, ..., Mn; S1, S2, ..., Sk) a power register (PCR) is provided to receive power control instructions to selectively control the respective power control module (20). The system also includes a power control unit (16) for writing respective power control instructions into the power control registers (PCR) of the blocks, whereby the power dissipated is controlled individually and indipendently for each block under the centralized control of the power control unit (16). For each block (12; M1, M2, ..., Mn; S1, S2, ..., Sk), a power status register (PSR) is also provided to receive status information concerning power control within the respective block. The power control unit (16) is arranged to a read said status instructions from such the power status registers (PSR).

    Abstract: A color image pixel data processing pipeline for performing, among corrective and image enhancement steps, at least an interpolation on color data to generate triplets located at distinct pixel locations, including among a plurality of defect correction and image enhancement blocks at least a first color interpolation block, generating RGB information for each pixel of the input image pixel pattern, a second color interpolation block receiving the RGB pattern pixels from said first color interpolation block and rendering enhanced RGB pattern pixels, and a plurality of dedicated line memories and delay circuits associated to and cooperating with said interpolation and correction blocks for permitting real-time processing of pixel data, further includes input image pixel pattern data read/write buffers first and second, of identical capacity suitable to store a subset or pixel block (m*n) of the image data, for translating the scanning mode of pixel data being fed to the input line memory and delay circuits associated to al least said first color interpolation block of said pipeline, from linewise to columnwise, for each subset of data stored in said first and second buffers.
    The switching from linewise writing to columnwise reading of the data temporarily stored in input buffer means, reduces overall memory requisite without sensibly increasing computational overhead.

    Abstract: A data stream (b(t)) including high ("1") and low ("0") logical states is transmitted over an optical link (16) by means of an optical source (15) adapted to be driven (14) via said the data stream to generate an optical signal for transmission over the optical link (16). The optical signal includes optical pulses generated at the occurrence of high logical ("1") states in said data stream (b(t)). The input data stream (b(t)) is coded (2000) into a coded data stream (B(t)) prior to the transmission over the optical link (16). The coding step minimises the logical high states ("1") in the coded data stream (B(t)), and the optical source (15) is driven by means of the coded data stream (B(t)) wherein the number of logical high states ("1") has been minimised.

    Abstract: In a method for multiplication of floating-point real numbers (f, FN), encoded in a binary way in sign (SGN, SN), exponent (E, EN) and mantissa (M; MN), the multiplication of the mantissa (M; MN) envisages a step of calculation of partial products, which are constituted by a set of addenda (P) corresponding to said mantissa (MN). In order to reduce the size and power consumption of the circuits designed for calculation, there is adopted a method of binary encoding which envisages setting the first bit of the mantissa (MN) to a value 1, in order to obtain a mantissa (MN) having a value comprised between 0.5 and 1.
    Also proposed are methods for rounding of the product and circuits for the implementation of the multiplication method. Also illustrated are circuits for conversion from and to encoding of floating-point real numbers according to the IEEE754 standard.
    Preferential application is in portable and/or wireless electronic devices, such as mobile telephones and PDAs, with low power-consumption requirements.

    Abstract: To obtain frame synchronization and identify the cell codegroup in a cellular communication system (such as a system based upon the standard 3GPP FDD), there are available the synchronization codes (SSCH) organized in chips or letters transmitted at the beginning of respective slots. Slot synchronization is obtained previously in a first step of the operation of cell search. During a second step, there are acquired, by means of correlation (10) or fast Hadamard transform, the energy values corresponding to the respective individual letters with reference to the possible starting positions of the corresponding frame within the respective slot. Operating in a serial way (24) at the end of acquisition of the aforesaid energy values of the individual letters, or else operating in parallel, the energies of the corresponding words are determined. Of these eneriges only the maximum word-energy value and the information for the corresponding starting position are stored in a memory structure (22). Said maximum value and said starting position identify, respectively, the cell codes and the frame synchronization sought. A preferential application is in mobile communication systems based upon standards such as UMTS, CDMA2000, IS95, or WBCDMA.
