Description
The TMC2330A VLSI circuit converts bidirectionally
between Cartesian (real and imaginary) and Polar (magnitude
and phase) coordinates at up to 40 MOPS (Million Operations
Per Second).
In its Rectangular-to-Polar mode, the TMC2330A can extract
phase and magnitude information or backward “map” from a
rectangular raster display to a radial (e.g., range-and-azimuth)
data set.
The Polar-to-Rectangular mode executes direct digital waveform
synthesis and modulation. The TMC2330A greatly simplifies
real-time image-space conversion between the radially-generated
image scan data found in radar, sonar, and medical imaging
systems, and raster display formats.
All input and output data ports are registered, and a new trans-
formed data word pair is available at the output every clock
cycle. The user-configurable phase accumulator structure,
input clock enables, and asynchronous three-state output bus
enables simplify interfacing. All signals are TTL compatible.
Fabricated in a submicron CMOS process, the TMC2330A
operates at up to the 40 MHz maximum clock rate over the full
commercial (0 to 70°C) temperature and supply voltage ranges,
and is available in 120-pin plastic pin grid array, 120-pin
ceramic pin grid array, 120-pin metric quad flatpack to PPGA
package, and 120-pin metric quad flatpack packages.
