  • System for performing linear interpolation
    Patent number: 5175701
    Abstract: An interpolation system generates an interpolated value in response to an input value. The interpolation system includes a function value store comprising a plurality of function value storage tables for storing function values for alternating domain coordinate values in a domain. An address generator, in response to an input value, generates address signals identifying locations in the function value storage tables to enable the function value storage tables to transmit function values in parallel. An interpolator receives function values transmitted in parallel by the function value storage tables and the input value and generating in response thereto the interpolated value.
