Abstract:
An integrated circuit may have specialized processing blocks that are configurable to operate as arithmetic operators that may implement, amongst other functions, multiplication and multiply-accumulation operations in a first mode. In a second mode, a sequencer circuit may provide data signals and control signals to the specialized processing blocks such that the specialized processing block operates as a signal processing device that handles signals in a given sequence. For example, the sequencer circuit may control the signal arrival at the specialized processing block and the configuration of the configurable circuitry in the specialized processing block. In certain embodiments, the sequencer circuit and the specialized processing block may implement finite impulse response (FIR) filters.

Claim (Index 29):
A method for operating a sequencer circuit, comprising:\n conveying a clock signal that provides a plurality of trigger events; incrementing, by a counter of the sequencer circuit, by a predetermined number that is greater than one at a first trigger event of the plurality of trigger events to produce a counter output; computing, by an adder of the sequencer circuit, a sum of first and second signals to produce a read address signal; receiving, at a storage circuit of the sequencer circuit, a write data signal, the read address signal, and the counter output; storing the write data signal at a first address of the storage circuit at least in part based on the counter output, at a second trigger event of the plurality of trigger events; outputting, by the storage circuit, a read data signal from a second address of the storage circuit at least in part based on the read address signal; and sending the read data signal from the sequencer circuit to an arithmetic circuit.
