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.
