Patent number: 8693681Abstract: Logic circuitry and corresponding software instructions for performing functions within the FL function of a Kasumi cipher. An RLAX logic circuit includes a bit-wise AND function, a reorder bus, and a bit-wise exclusive-OR function for generating a destination word from corresponding logic functions of portions of first and second operands, in executing an RLAX program instruction. An RLOX logic circuit includes a bit-wise OR function, a reorder bus, and a bit-wise exclusive-OR function for generating a destination word from corresponding logic functions of portions of first and second operands, in executing an RLOX program instruction. Plural instances of the logic circuits can be implemented in parallel, to simultaneously operate upon plural data blocks.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2008Date of Patent: April 8, 2014Assignee: Texas Instruments IncorporatedInventors: Tod David Wolf, David John Hoyle

Publication number: 20090113174Abstract: A co-processor for efficiently decoding codewords encoded according to a Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) code, and arranged to efficiently execute an instruction to multiply the value of one operand with the sign of another operand, is disclosed. Logic circuitry is included in the co-processor to select between the value of a second operand, and an arithmetic inverse of the second operand value, in response to the sign bit of the first operand. This logic circuitry is arranged to operate according to 2's-complement integer arithmetic, by also including invert-and-increment circuitry to produce a 2's-complement inverse of the second operand. A comparator determines whether the second operand is at a maximum 2's-complement negative value, in which case the arithmetic inverse is selected to be a hard-wired maximum 2's-complement positive value.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2007Publication date: April 30, 2009Applicant: TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATEDInventors: Tod David Wolf, Eric Biscondi, David John Hoyle
