Abstract: A programmable memory device includes a plurality of one-time programmable (OTP) memory units, a search unit, a writing unit, and a reading unit. Each OTP memory unit is assigned an address. The search unit searches for the first writable OTP memory unit from the plurality of OTP memory units in a writing operation, or searches for the last programmed OTP memory unit from the plurality of OTP memory units in a reading operation. The writing unit writes data to be written and the bit length of the data to the first writable OTP memory unit. The reading unit sequentially reads data from the last programmed OTP memory unit.

Abstract: The present invention provides a multimedia processing system for communicating data among a baseband module, an image sensor module, and at least one display module in a wireless mobile phone. The multimedia processing system further comprises a serial baseband interface, an image sensor interface, and a display interface for transmitting and receiving data, including processing data, image data, and display data, to and from essential components. Certain embodiments of the invention describe the hardware implementations of the serial interface, including a serial peripheral interface and a universal asynchronous receiver and transmitter interface. Other implementations are also possible. Another embodiment of the invention provides a multimedia processing system that comprises a single chip with an embedded image sensor module. Moreover, another embodiment comprises a bypass mechanism to bypass incoming signals to other components directly.
