Patent number: 6615398Abstract: The present invention relates to a ROM division method for reducing the size of a ROM in a direct digital frequency synthesizer (DDFS), which is used to synthesize a frequency in a communication system requiring fast frequency conversion. A ROM consuming most energy in the system, a modified Nicholas architecture is brought forth to reduce the size of ROM. In this modified Nicholas architecture, a ROM is divided into coarse ROM and fine ROM to convert phase to sine value. The present invention divides the coarse ROM and the fine ROM into quantized ROM and error ROM respectively. Then, value stored in each ROM is segmented in certain intervals and the minimum quantized value in each of the section is stored in the quantized ROM, while the difference between the original ROM value and the quantized ROM value is stored in the error ROM. This way, the size of a ROM can be reduced. Phase value inputted in a DDFS, a sine value is calculated by adding the four ROM values, i.e.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2001Date of Patent: September 2, 2003Assignee: Electronics and Telecommunications Research InstituteInventors: Hyun Kyu Yu, Seon-Ho Han, Mun Yang Park, Seong-Do Kim, Yong-Sik Youn, Lee-Sup Kim, Ki-Hyuk Sung, Byung-Do Yang, Young-Jun Kim

Patent number: 5838895Abstract: The present invention relates to a fault detection and automatic recovery apparatus of write-read pointers in FIFO. While storing effective data in a register in writing performance, the apparatus does not unconditionally enable a FULL.sub.-- FLAG signal allotted to the register but confirms the relation of write-read pointers at that time and the EMPTY.sub.-- FLAG signal of a register at which the read pointer is situated and detects the error of FIFO. By selectively enabling the FULL.sub.-- FLAG signal of the register according to the result of detection, it automatically restores the FIFO functions without unnecessary re-initialization or the discontinuation of data transmission attributable thereto.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 1997Date of Patent: November 17, 1998Assignees: Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute, Korea Telecommunication AuthorityInventors: Seong-Do Kim, Hee-Bum Jung, Won-Chul Song
