Abstract: A processing circuit comprises a plurality of modules connected in series to form a module pipeline. Each module comprises one or more registers having corresponding addresses within an address range for the module. A register request, including a target register address, is passed from one module to succeeding modules down the module pipeline until the register request is received at the module containing the targeted register. Data is written into or read out from the targeted register.

Abstract: A method, new use for Look-Up Tables (LUTs), and a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) chipset are provided for delaying data signals. The FPGA comprises an input and a set of LUTs operationally connected to and receiving from the interface a data signal and a clock signal. The set of LUTs delay the data signal by a delay so that a corresponding first delayed data signal output from the set of LUTs is so synchronized with the clock signal for appropriate sampling of the delayed data signal to be performed by the FPGA chipset. A process of manufacturing of the FPGA chipset comprises calculating a delay for delaying and synchronising the data signal with a clock signal to meet requirements of the chipset, calculating a number of LUTs for delaying the data signal, and implementing in a data path of the data signal the number of LUTs.
