Patent number: 10177902Abstract: Systems and methods for processing data including a first and second component are described. An example circuit includes a processing stage arranged to calculate absolute values of the first component and the second component, and to output, at a first output, a maximum value of the absolute value of the first component and the absolute value of the second component, and, at a second output, a minimum value of the absolute value of the first component and the absolute value of the second component. The circuit includes a processing stage arranged to output, in response to the maximum value being greater than the minimum value times four, a value corresponding to the maximum value, and to output, in response to the maximum value being smaller than the minimum value times four, a value corresponding to a sum of seven times the maximum value and four times the minimum value.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2017Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: Stichting IMEC NederlandInventor: Alex Young
