  • Publication number: 20230236839
    Abstract: A device includes an application processor and a hardware signal processor coupled to the application processor. The hardware signal processor, in operation: receives a command pre-list during an initialization phase of the hardware signal processor, the command pre-list including a plurality of function describers, each of the plurality of function describers being associated with a respective plurality of parameter describers; generates a command list based on the command pre-list during the initialization phase; and stores the command list in memory circuitry.

  • Publication number: 20230185571
    Abstract: In an embodiment an integrated circuit includes a hardware calculator configured to calculate in parallel a first output component Yn?1 of a first rank n?1 and a second output component Yn of a second rank n which is higher than and consecutive to the first rank, according to the formula: Ym=?k=0N?1bkxm?k, in a series of operations, wherein the hardware calculator includes a first calculation path dedicated to the first output component Yn?1, a second calculation path dedicated to the second output component Yn, wherein, for each operation, a first register is configured to contain a pair of first factors {xi, xi?1} corresponding to terms {bkxm?k}[k;k+1]m=n?1 of an operation in the first path, a second register is configured to contain a pair of second factors {bj, bj+1} corresponding to terms {bkxm?k}[k;k+1]m=n?1 of the operation in the first path, and a third register is configured to contain a pair of second factors {bj+2, bj+3} corresponding to terms {bkxm?k}[k+2;k+3]m=n?1 of the next operation in the fir

  • Patent number: 7840879
    Abstract: A wireless mobile device comprising a tuner for converting a received radio frequency signal to a base band signal or intermediate frequency signal and providing the base band signal or intermediate frequency signal to a receiver, wherein the receiver is arranged to provide received data associated with the base band signal or intermediate frequency signal to an application processor for storage in memory, wherein the application processor is arranged to extract the data from memory in an interleaved form and perform error correction on the interleaved data.
