Patent number: 6643674Abstract: A series of digital data to be filtered is divided into a plurality of frames, and f samples of the digital data of each of the frames are burst-transmitted via a computer bus. In transferring the digital data of any one of the frames, n samples of the digital data belonging to a next frame is transferred, along with the digital data of the one frame, to thereby transfer a time series of the digital data consisting of (f+n) samples that are more than the f samples contained in the one frame. Also, a set of k filter coefficients to be used for filtering arithmetic operations in the frame is burst-transmitted via the computer bus, where n≧k. Filtering arithmetic processor, such as a DSP, connected to the bus carries out filtering arithmetic processing using the transmitted f+n samples of the digital data and k coefficients, to provide filtered data corresponding to at least the number of samples for a single frame.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2002Date of Patent: November 4, 2003Assignee: Yamaha CorporationInventors: Ryo Kamiya, Tomoaki Ando

Patent number: 6567320Abstract: A data write circuit is interposed between a CPU and memory, both of which operate based on the same number of bits (e.g., thirty-two bits). The CPU produces address data for designating a specific address in the memory, and access mode designation data for designating one of a byte access mode, half-word access mode, and word access mode. The data write circuit comprises a decoder for decoding the access mode designation data, a logic circuit for generating selection signals, and four selectors, each of which deals with 8-bit data consisting of eight prescribed bits of the original thirty-two bits. Each selector selects either first data read from the memory or second data output from the CPU. Therefore, each selector is capable of selecting the second data, which are substituted for the first data in the memory. Thus, it is possible to perform write operations in desired units in the memory.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2002Date of Patent: May 20, 2003Assignee: Yamaha CorporationInventor: Tomoaki Ando

Patent number: 6266746Abstract: A control apparatus controls writing and reading of data with respect to a memory which is randomly accessible. An address producing device produces an address by a method according to a predetermined rule, in response to a request to access the memory by the method according to the predetermined rule. A switching device selects one of an address with which the memory is randomly accessed and the address produced by the address producing device. Data is written into and read from the memory, at a location that corresponds to the address that is selected by the switching device and supplied to the memory.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 1998Date of Patent: July 24, 2001Assignee: Yamaha CorporationInventor: Tomoaki Ando
