Parallel hardware computation structures for integrated-circuit arithmetic
and statistical signal averaging are described herein as an invention
that is applicable to broad systems applications where a variety of
analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog data interfaces occur. Signal
values are improved to accommodate signal reconstruction of high quality
and at high frequencies. The computation efficiency of the parallel
hardware structures makes them useful in a broad set of applications
where signal data is being converted from one electronics domain to
another--in particular, from the analog domain to the digital domain and
the reverse. Important application areas include video processing, music
studios, telecommunications, voice communication and support systems, and
information technology in general.
