Abstract

Abstract A memory circuit write-in system comprises a first circuit for supplying a digital signal including a time base fluctuation component, where one frame of the digital signal is constituted by at least a synchronizing signal and information data and the digital signal has a first repetition frequency with a period of one frame of the digital signal, a memory circuit for writing therein and reading out therefrom the digital signal supplied from the first circuit, and a second circuit for applying a write-in control signal to the memory circuit. The write-in control signal includes no time base fluctuation component and has a second repetition frequency substantially equal to the first repetition frequency, and the memory circuit is controlled by the write-in control signal so that write-in of the digital signal is carried out with a write-in period in a range of two times within the one frame period.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 297 words
A memory circuit write-in system comprising: terminal means for receiving a digital signal including a time base fluctuation component, one frame of said digital signal being constituted by at least a synchronizing signal and information data, said digital signal having a repetition frequency with a period of one frame of said digital signal; a memory circuit for writing therein and reading out therefrom the received digital signal; a first flip-flop which is set in response to the synchronizing signal within said received digital signal; a master oscillator for producing a signal which includes no time base fluctuation; a circuit for generating a write-in period discriminating signal, a latch pulse and a write enable signal from the output signal of said master oscillator, said write-in period discriminating signal being generated twice within one read-out frame period which is constant and substantially equal to said period of one frame, said latch pulse having a period which is less than 1/2 a minimum pulse interval of said write-in period discriminating signal; a gate circuit responsive to an output signal of said first flip-flop and to said write-in period discriminating signal for passing said write-in period discriminating signal when said first flip-flop is in a set state; and write-in control signal generating means responsive to said gate circuit for producing a write-in control signal in response to the write-in period discriminating signal which occurs immediately after said synchronizing signal, said memory circuit being controlled by said write-in control signal so that a write-in address at which the digital signal is written is changed in response to said write-in control signal, and the digital signal is written into said memory circuit during a write-in period which exists twice within the constant read-out frame period in correspondence with said write-in period discriminating signal.
Claim 2

A memory circuit write-in system comprising: terminal means for receiving a digital signal including a time base fluctuation component, one frame of said digital signal being constituted by at least a synchronizing signal and information data, said digital signal having a repetition frequency with a period of one frame of said digital signal; a memory circuit for writing therein and reading out therefrom the received digital signal; a first flip-flop which is set in response to the synchronizing signal within said received digital signal; a master oscillator for producing a signal which includes no time base fluctuation; a circuit for generating a write-in period discriminating signal, a latch pulse and a write enable signal from the output signal of said master oscillator, said write-in period discriminating signal being generated twice within one read-out frame period which is constant and substantially equal to said period of one frame, said latch pulse having a period which is less than 1/2 a minimum pulse interval of said write-in period discriminating signal; a gate circuit responsive to an output signal of said first flip-flop and to said write-in period discriminating signal for passing said write-in period discriminating signal when said first flip-flop is in a set state; and write-in control signal generating means responsive to said gate circuit for producing a write-in control signal in response to the write-in period discriminating signal which occurs immediately after said synchronizing signal, said memory circuit being controlled by said write-in control signal so that a write-in address at which the digital signal is written is changed in response to said write-in control signal, and the digital signal is written into said memory circuit during a write-in period which exists twice within the constant read-out frame period in correspondence with said write-in period discriminating signal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 119 words
A memory circuit write-in system as claimed in claim 1 in which said memory circuit comprises a shift register supplied with the digital signal received by said terminal means for subjecting the digital signal to series-to-parallel conversion; a master latch for latching said information data within said one frame among parallel output signals from said shift register; a slave latch for latching parallel output signals of said master latch by said write-in control signal; a counter for counting said write-in control signal and producing a write-in address; and a random access memory for writing output information data of said slave latch at said write-in address designated by said counter at a double rate within the constant read-out frame period.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 92 words
A memory circuit write-in system as claimed in claim 1 in which said circuit for generating said write-in period discriminating signal, said latch pulse, and said write enable signal comprises a counter for frequency-dividing the output signal of said master oscillator and producing a signal with a one frame period, and read only memory supplied with the output signal of said counter as a read-out control signal, and said read only memory produces said write-in period discriminating signal, said latch pulse, and said write enable signal through mutually different output lines thereof.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 157 words
A memory circuit write-in system as claimed in claim 1 in which said memory circuit write-in system comprises synchronizing signal generating means for generating a synchronizing signal in synchronism with the synchronizing signal within the digital signal received by said terminal means, said first flip-flop being set by the output synchronizing signal of said synchronizing signal generating means, and said write-in control signal generating means comprises a second flip-flop which is set by the output write-in period discriminating signal of said gate circuit, and a latch circuit for latching an output signal of said second flip-flop in response to said latch signal and for resetting said first and second flip-flops by an output pulse thereof, said latch circuit producing as said write-in control signal a pulse which has a constant width and is in phase synchronism with said write-in period discriminating signal obtained immediately after the output synchronizing signal of said synchronizing signal generating means is obtained.
