Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A first look-up table ( 10 ) outputs a result of dividing a horizontal component of a pixel address in the block by number of pixels in a horizontal component of the cell. A second look-up table ( 12 ) outputs a result of dividing a vertical component of a pixel address in the block by number of pixels in a vertical component of the cell. A third look-up table ( 14 ) outputs a residue as a result of dividing a horizontal component of a pixel address in the block by number of pixels in a horizontal component of the cell. A fourth look-up table ( 16 ) outputs a residue as a result of dividing a vertical component of a pixel address in the block by number of pixels in a vertical component of the cell. The output values of the first and second look-up tables ( 10,12 ) are addresses of the cell for burst access to the memory. The output values of the third and fourth look-up tables ( 14,16 ) are used as pixel addresses in the cell.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A memory access device, comprising: calculating a number of pixels in one burst access by dividing a number of bits obtained in one burst access of a memory storing an image frame by a number of bits per pixel and discarding a fraction of a remainder after dividing the number of bits obtained in one burst access of the memory storing the image frame by the number of bits per pixel; arranging a rectangular area having number of pixels equal to or less…
