DESCRIPTION
Internal summing adders are also included to provide the configurations needed to implement matrix multiplications, cascadable FIR filters, and pixel convolvers. In addition to color space conversions, the LF2250 offers a range of selectable configurations designed for filtering applications. When configured as a 9-tap FIR filter, the LF2250 automatically selects the necessary internal bus structure and inserts the appropriate data path delay elements. In addition, a 16-bit cascade input port allows for the creation of larger filters without a reduction in throughput. Real-time video image filtering using the convolver modes of the LF2250 can provide edge detection, texture enhancement, and detail smoothing. Both pixel convolver configurations, 3 x 3 and 4 x 2, deliver high-speed data manipulation in a single chip solution. By using the 16-bit cascade input port to cascade two devices, cubic convolutions (4 x 4-pixel) can be easily accommodated with no decrease in throughput rates.
