DESCRIPTION
The LF3321 is an improved version of the LF3320 Horizontal Digital Image Filter capable of operating at
speeds of up to 111MHz. This improved speed increases flexibility and performance and enables the user
to utilize this device in more applications. For example, four interleaved data streams of 27MHz can now
be processed within one device. The part is functionally identical to the LF3320 with the exception that the
filter data path is specified to operate faster than the LF Control Interface. When operating the filter at
speeds in excess of 90MHz, loading of coefficients via the LF Interface must be throttled to a maximum
of 90MHz by asserting the PAUSE pin as required to allow sufficient setup time for the configuration data
provided to the chip via the LF Interface.

Figure 1 demonstrates the switching waveforms, while the switching characteristics are given in Table
1. The LF3321 filters digital images in the horizontal dimension at real-time video rates. The input and
coefficient data are both 12 bits and in two’s complement format. The output is also in two’s complement
format and may be rounded to 16 bits.
The LF3321 is designed to take advantage of symmetric coefficient sets. When symmetric coefficient sets
are used, the device can be configured as a single 32-tap FIR filter or as two separate 16-tap FIR filters.
When asymmetric coefficient sets are used, the device can be configured as a single 16-tap FIR filter or as
two separate 8-tap FIR filters. Multiple LF3321s can be cascaded to create larger filters.
Interleave/Decimation Registers (I/D Registers) allow interleaved data to be fed directly into the device and
filtered without separating the data into individual data streams.
The LF3321 can handle a maximum of sixteen data sets interleaved together. The I/D Registers and
on-chip accumulators facilitate using decimation to increase the number of filter taps. Decimation of up
to 16:1 is supported.
The LF3321 contains enough on-board memory to store 256 coefficient sets. Two separate LF InterfacesTM
allow all 256 coefficient sets to be updated within vertical blanking.
