Data converter with statistical domain output
First Claim
1. A method for collecting statistics in an integrated circuit on data, comprising the steps of:
- receiving on an input input data in a first data domain;
converting received input data with a data converter from the first data domain to a second data domain different from the first data domain;
determining with a statistical processor statistical information from the finite collected data from the output of the data converter in the second data domain the step of determining with the statistical processor providing processed statistical output information in the second data domain;
wherein the step of determining operates on a finite amount of collected data from the step of converting;
determining when the completion of the statistical information has occurred; and
allowing access external to the integrated circuit through an output interface on the integrated circuit to the output of the statistical processor only after the completion of the statistical information.

Abstract
An integrated circuit having statistical processing capability. The integrated circuit has an input for receiving input data in a first data domain. A data converter is provided for converting received input data from the first domain to a second domain different from the first domain. A statistical processor is provided for obtaining statistical information from the output of the data converter and processing the obtained statistical information in accordance with a predetermined processing algorithm. An output on the integrated circuit allow access of the processed statistical information by the statistical processor external to the integrated circuit.
