Abstract

This paper presents the design of a mixed digital/analog array to implement several signal processing algorithms used in coordinate rotation for image processing. The advantages of hybrid arrays in which the processor element can be either analog or digital depending on a specific computing requirement are discussed. The interfaces between processor elements of different types are considered and several circuits are designed for this task. The proposed mixed array architecture is shown to possess strong potential in other high-performance computing applications.
