Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is a system for selectively enabling intermediate data processing of digital signals external to an integrated circuit (IC). The system comprises a transcoder, a codec connected to the transcoder, and a data processor located externally to the IC. In response to a strobe signal, a programmable switch diverts digital signals between the transcoder and the codec to a data path from the IC to the external processor. The digital signals are formatted within the IC for processing by the external processor. The externally processed digital signals are returned to the IC via a data path from the external processor. The digital signals are then reformatted within the IC for further processing by the IC.
