The ZR36015 performes raster to/from block conversion for image compression and expansion applications, and it can be connected directly to the ZR36050 JPEG coder and the ZR36011 Color Space Converter. An image compression system can be easily constructed using the ZR36015 with the ZR35060 and ZR36011. The ZR36015 uses a double buffered external SRAM Strip Buffer to support raster to/from block conversion and block interleave. The maximum number of pixels that can be processed per line is 8K. The maximum number of lines that can be prcessed per
