  • System for processing graphic patterns
    Patent number: 6795077
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an integrated circuit and a method of processing graphic patterns comprising pixels. The circuit (CH) is integrated in a video output co-processor. The circuit comprises, on the one hand, a random access memory (RAM) intended to save the patterns and, on the other hand, extraction means (PE) intended to extract pixels as a function of an indication of the number of bits per pixel from the selected pattern and apply them to encoding means (CM). The pixels are then color-characterized by encoding means (CM) for display on a video screen. The circuit avoids the use of an external memory (SDRAM) and thus cluttering of the passband of the video bus.
