AHA3431A-066PQC

comtech aha corporation PRODUCT BRIEF* AHA3431 StarLite SIMULTANEOUS COMPRESSOR/DECOMPRESSOR IC, 3.3V AHA3431 is a high speed lossless compression coprocessor IC for the hardcopy systems on many standard platforms. The AHA3431 is functionally backward compatible to the AHA3411. Simultaneous compression and decompression, flexible interfaces and advanced banding support make this a unique solution for high performance Raster Image Processing (RIP) controller designs. Advanced banding support handles blank, uncompressed and compressed bands during decompression mode. Scan line and record length counters accommodate various print resolutions and band buffer sizes. Software simulation and an analysis of the algorithm for printer and copier images of various complexity are available for evaluation.

These are a 32-bit bidirectional data port, an 8-bit Video Input Data (VID) port and a Video Output Data (VOD) port. The data port is capable of transferring up to 32 bits per clock. The VID and VOD are also capable of one transfer per clock. The device accepts uncompressed data through the data port or optionally through the 8-bit VID port into its Compression In FIFO (CI FIFO). Compressed data is available through the data port via the Compressed Output FIFO (CO FIFO). The sustained data rate through the compression engine is 66 MBytes/sec. Decompression data is accepted through the data port, buffered in the Decompression Input FIFO (DI FIFO), and decompressed. The output data is made available on the data port via the Decompression Output FIFO (DO FIFO) or optionally on the 8-bit Video Output port. The decompression engine runs on the 66 MHz clock and is capable of processing an uncompressed byte every clock. The four FIFOs are organized as 16×32 each. For data transfers through the three ports, the “effective” FIFO widths differ according to their data bus widths. Data transfer for compression or decompression is synchronous over the three data ports functioning as DMA masters. To initiate a transfer into or out of the Video ports, the device asserts VxREQN, the external device responds with VxACKN and begins to transfer data over the VID or VOD busses on each succeeding rising edge of the clock until VxREQN is deasserted. The data port relies on the FIFO Threshold settings to determine the transfer. Note:x is referred to I or O. SYSTEM APPLICATION The device is intended for memory intensive applications, such as digital copiers or printers. These applications require the simultaneous compression and decompression capability of the device. Copiers use this feature to feed the compressed bit maps through the decompressor to the printer engine while another process uses the compressor to input and compress scanned images. Movement for both processes is typically controlled by a DMA controller that is programmed by the local microprocessor.
