The Data Path
The data path is the core of the processing unit and implemented as
ASIC in digital CMOS technology. It processes image data in a pixel
pipeline. Due to technological restrictions, not all required memory
structures could be implemented as embedded memory
on-chip. Therefore, additional external memory components are
employed. They form a part of the data path as
well.
