Patent number: 11115623Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods that provide for implement an asymmetric image splitter engine that may reduce the memory requirements. In one or more embodiments, a method may comprise receiving a multi-streaming video comprising super-frame video images, where each super-frame video images includes a first video image and a second video image, and where the height of the first video image is higher than the second video image. The vertical asymmetry of the second video image may be adjusted to same height as the first video image by adding padding to the second video image. An asymmetric image splitter engine may be utilized to split the super-frame video images into two separate video images. By marking each line of the second video image, it may be determined which lines are padded and discarded, and which lines are data to be displayed using a line mark memory.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2019Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: Maxim Integrated Products, Inc.Inventors: Yalcin Balcioglu, Arda Kamil Bafra, Levent Yakay

Patent number: 10091399Abstract: A system for at least substantially plesiochronously operating a receiver in communication with a plurality of cameras (e.g., at least two plesiochronously operational cameras) is described. In one or more implementations, the system includes a plurality of cameras. Each camera is configured to generate a signal for transmission via a communications link, and the signal comprises data packets encoded in a forward channel. The system also includes a receiver communicatively coupled to the plurality of cameras via the single-ended communications link. The receiver is configured to generate a synchronization data based upon at least one of the data packets. The receiver is also configured to modulate the signal to encode the synchronization data in a reverse channel so that the signal comprises the forward channel data and the reverse channel data simultaneously.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2015Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: MAXIM INTEGRATED PRODUCTS, INC.Inventors: Levent Yakay, Can Bilgin, Arda K.

Patent number: 8817841Abstract: An apparatus for generating a spread-spectrum signal based on an input signal whose frequency may vary substantially. The apparatus is particularly suited for controlling the frequency of the modulation in response to wide variations of the frequency of the input signal. This prevents the modulation frequency from deviating into an undesired frequency range which could cause adverse operational effects. The apparatus includes a detector adapted to generate a first signal related to the frequency of the input signal, a controller adapted to generate a second signal for controlling a frequency of a modulation signal based on the first signal, a modulation signal generator adapted to generate the modulation signal based on the second signal, and a spread-spectrum signal generator adapted to generate the spread-spectrum signal based on the modulation signal.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2009Date of Patent: August 26, 2014Assignee: Maxim Integrated Products, Inc.Inventors: Arda Kamil Bafra, Levent Yakay, Mustafa Ertugrul Oner

Patent number: 8780939Abstract: System and method for transmitting video and audio data words via a serial data link. A transmitting device includes a first module for generating an audio data frame comprising an audio data word and a frame separation code; and a second module for generating high speed data frames each comprising at least a portion of a video data word and only a portion of the audio data frame, and for transmitting the high speed data frames via the serial data link. A receiving device includes a first module for forming the video data word from one or more high speed data frames, and a second module for forming the audio data frame from portions of high speed data frames. The second module may extract the audio data word from the audio data frame, and generate an audio clock based on a rate in which audio data words are received.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2009Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: Maxim Integrated Products, Inc.Inventors: Arda Kamil Bafra, Levent Yakay, Mustafa Ertugrul Oner

Patent number: 8098788Abstract: An apparatus that includes a module for controlling the frequency of a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) as part of a phase locked loop (PLL), or clock and data recovery (CDR) when an input reference signal to the PLL or serial data to the CDR has ceased from being received. In particular, the apparatus comprises a VCO adapted to generate a VCO clock signal, a first control module adapted to control the frequency of the VCO clock signal based on the input reference signal, and a second control module adapted to control the frequency of the VCO clock signal in response to an absence of the input reference signal. By controlling the frequency of the VCO clock signal during an absence of the input reference signal, the first control module is able to more easily re-acquire control the frequency of the VCO clock signal when the input reference signal is received again.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2008Date of Patent: January 17, 2012Assignee: Maxim Integrated Products, Inc.Inventors: Mustafa Ertugrul Oner, Arda Kamil Bafra, Levent Yakay

Patent number: 7356454Abstract: A method for emulating a logic circuit having at least one set of identical logic modules is disclosed. Each logic module in a set has logic elements and memory elements that store a module state of that logic module. The logic circuit is emulated by extracting a logic module from a set of identical logic modules, translating the extracted logic module for iterative representation of the module state of each of the logic modules with a single instance of the logic elements, and configuring a logic device with the translated logic module to emulate the logic circuit.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2004Date of Patent: April 8, 2008Assignee: UD Technology CorporationInventors: Hirofumi Sakane, Levent Yakay, Vishal Karna, Clement Leung, Guang R.
