Patent ID: 11962914
Assignee: TEXAS INSTRUMENTS INCORPORATED
Field: Audio-visual technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. An integrated circuit comprising:
a shared memory;
a first buffer;
a plurality of pixel data interface circuits configured to individually receive pixel data corresponding to multiple exposures of an image from a corresponding digital overlap (DOL) wide dynamic range (WDR) sensor, the pixel data interface circuits configured to store first pixel data corresponding to one or more first ones of the exposures of the image in the shared memory, and to store second pixel data corresponding to one or more second ones of the exposures of the image in the first buffer;
a first multiplexer including two or more inputs coupled to the shared memory;
a second multiplexer including two or more inputs coupled to the first buffer;
a merge circuit configured to receive the first pixel data from the shared memory via the first multiplexer, receive the second pixel data from the first buffer via the second multiplexer, and process the first and second pixel data to create merged pixel data representing the image; and
an image pipeline circuit configured to process the merged pixel data representing the image.
