  • Patent number: 5218710
    Abstract: An audio signal data processing system comprises input device for sequentially supplying an audio signal data, data memory control device for writing the audio signal data into a data memory and reading-out the data from the data memory, delay memory control device for sequentially reading-out the audio signal data from the data memory and storing the data into a location of a delay memory indicated by a writing address and for reading-out the audio signal data from a location of the delay memory indicated by a reading address and writing the data into the data memory, address designating devices for designating the writing and reading addresses, arithmetic device for multiplying a predetermined coefficient data to the audio signal data having been read-out by the delay memory control device and written into the data memory, and output device for providing the audio signal data in accordance with a result of operation by the arithmetic device.

  • Patent number: 4891824
    Abstract: A muting control circuit is provided in which muting is performed when any one of a plurality of unlock detection signals is detected, indicating circuits is unlocked or when a data error is detected in a demodulator. In this way, reading time can be shortened to the minimum time required for muting. In addition, when one unlock detection circuit is triggered due to a disorder in the input, the unlock detection signal is provided immediately, so that the muting control signal is supplied and muting can be performed even when there is a time delay before the unlock detection circuit detects an unlocked state.

  • Patent number: 4882546
    Abstract: A demodulation clock generator circuit employed in a modulation system such as a bi-phase mark system is improved by including a frequency detector to speed up the initial processing of a data signal to be demodulated. The frequency detector generates a frequency detection signal which corresponds to a signal from an oscillator and a signal from a synchronization signal portion of the signal to be demodulated. The frequency detector includes a memory portion clocked by the oscillator for storing the states of the signal to be demodulated and a signal generating portion for supplying the frequency detection signal when information stored in the memory portion is the same as a synchronizing portion of the signal to be demodulated and has a frequency of less than a predetermined value.
