US Patent:

6795088, Sep 21, 2004

Filed:

Apr 11, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/121305

Inventors:

Aleksandr M. Movshovich - Santa Clara CA
Brad A. Delanghe - San Jose CA
David A. Baer - San Jose CA

Assignee:

Broadcom Corporation - Irvine CA

International Classification:

G09G 500

US Classification:

345621, 345625

Abstract:

A method and system for utilizing processor(s) and bypass processor(s) of a computer graphics system are disclosed. The processor(s) and bypass processor(s) render primitives, which are ordered based on their left corners. The method and system include providing a merge circuit, a distributor, a feedback circuit and a controller. The merge circuit determines left and right edges for each primitive. The distributor is coupled with feedback circuit and outputs a first portion of the primitives. The distributor provides a second portion of the primitives to the processor(s) and a third portion of the primitives to the bypass processor(s) if the first portion includes more primitives than there are processor(s). The second portion includes no more primitives than there are processor(s). The feedback circuit, coupled to the merge circuit, re-inputs a fourth portion of the primitives to the bypass processor(s) until the first portion has been rendered for a line.

International Classification:

G06F015/16

US Classification:

345502, 345619, 345553, 345421, 345423

Abstract:

A method and system for more efficiently loading a plurality of primitives for a scene into processors of a computer graphics system is disclosed. Each primitive has a top and a bottom. The primitives are ordered based on the top of each primitive. The system and method include providing at least one input, a merge circuit, a distributor, a feedback circuit and a controller. The input(s) is for receiving data relating to each primitive. The merge circuit is coupled with the input(s) and adds the data for a primitive having a top not lower than a current line. The distributor is coupled with the feedback circuit, eliminates an expired primitive and outputs the data for remaining primitives after the expired primitive has been removed. The expired primitive has a bottom above the current line. The feedback circuit is coupled to the merge circuit and the distributor and re-inputs to the merge circuit the data for the remaining primitives.

Abstract:

A television on a chip (TVOC) system that provides a cost effective approach for providing television functionality on a single integrated circuit chip is disclosed. A TVOC includes the functionality necessary to receive and display television signals in a variety of input and output formats. A TVOC can be used in set-top boxes for cable and satellite television, or directly within a television. All functionality provided can be provided on a single integrated circuit. TVOC includes a data transport module, an IF demodulator, a digital audio engine, an analog audio engine, a digital video engine, and an analog video engine. The TVOC also includes three sets of interfaces including output interfaces, control interfaces and ancillary interfaces. Further features and embodiments provide enhanced functionality and increased efficiencies.
