Video Camera Interface Controller with Compression
7.4Memory Controller
A frame buffer (SRAM) is needed to buffer the real-time CCD data for frame rate adjustment. The
Memory Controller is designed to arbitrate memory requests from the CCD and the host, and to
generate all SRAM control signals.
7.4.1Memory Size and Estimated Performance
Table 7.5 shows the memory size needed and the estimated performance for various picture formats.
The performance is estimated based on the assumption of 1.2 Mbytes/s ECP bandwidth.
