  • Publication number: 20070154089
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for calculating histograms with configurable granularity. Histogram values of a histogram for an M-bit image with different requirements are calculated using a histogram calculation circuit including N cumulative calculation devices with boundary values configurable in one or more iterations, where N is smaller than 2M. In each iteration, boundary values of the N cumulative calculation devices are set and an image data signal is inputted to the histogram calculation circuit, so as to obtain a set of histogram values for the iteration. After the iterations are completed, the histogram values of the desired histogram are obtained. Thus, computation resource provided by the corresponding circuit can be sufficiently utilized and a reduced hardware cost can be achieved.

  • Patent number: 5728598
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of fabricating a SRAM cell that has a low stand-by current. A second polysilicon layer which is used as polysilicon resistor is exactly over a first polysilicon layer. The double polysilicon layer is utilized to reduced a stand-by current. A electric field is generated between the two layers caused by applying different voltage to the two polysilicon layer respectively, and the carriers in the second polysilicon layer will be repeled to form a depletion region, which will increase the resistance of the second polysilicon layer. Therefore, the stand-by current (Isb) will be reduced.
