High Throughput

The PM-36 can sustain data rates of 80 or 110 MB per second to support real time operations. In addition, it implements two advanced features that maximize throughput and system performance:

Programmable code rate control-This optional mode limits the encoded output data bandwidth to a predefined rate by dynamically reducing the quantization accuracy on a block-byblock basis, as required. This assures maximum throughput in high-speed peripherals.

Programmable code size control-This mode allows definition of an upper limit for the size of the encoded output file so that it does not exceed a fixed memory buffer size. This is achieved in a single pass of the data, with no degradation in performance.

Efficient Coding

The PM-36 features several advanced JPEG coding techniques for improved efficiency. Four loadable Q-tables are available for dynamic quantization control on a block-by-block basis. In addition, The PM-36 contains two loadable Huffman table pairs, which improves coding efficiency by allowing the system to use different encoding factors with out reprogramming the device.

Highly Integrated

The PM-36 features an internal Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) that enables the chip to generate its main internal clock frequency from a lower-frequency signal. This reduces emissions and simplifies board design, particularly in systems using low-power CPUs and no external SRAM.

PM-36 Capabilities

The PM-36 enables the following combinations of operations to be performed on the data stream during one pass through the device:

Raster format image data: Converted to Block mode, subsampled 2:1, and JPEG encoded

Block format image data: JPEG encoded

JPEG-encoded data: JPEG decoded to raw format, upsampled 2:1, and output in Block or Raster format

Design Considerations

The PM-36 can be easily integrated into a variety of systems. Design features include:

A simple peripheral interface for use with any standard processor

Programmable control port bus width (16 or 32 bits)

Flexible input and output ports, which simplify system design

Input and output ports can be sized at 8, 16, 24, or 32 bits wide and contain bit, byte and word order controls to match any processor bus requirements

256-byte buffer on both input and output ports can minimize or even eliminate external buffering requirements

High speed I/O modes, synchronous FIFO and Burst DMA modes

The PM-36 requires little in the way of external support chips. A minimal system requires only a frequency source. An external SRAM array (up to 4 MB) may be added to enable raster format data streams. The external SRAM is used to store input or output lines for raster-to-block or block-to-raster conversion operations
