Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the structure of an image coding integrated circuit device that performs image compression by processing inter-frame or inter-field image data, such as MPEG2 (Moving Picture Experts Group 2, Moving Picture Experts Group 2). Background technique [0002] In recent years, MPEG2 encoding technology has been adopted for high-quality image recording and high-quality image transmission such as digital broadcasting. This MPEG2 encoding is described in detail in, for example, Document 1 (Japanese): "The Latest MPEG Textbook" (supervised by Hiroshi Fujiwara, published by ASCII Co., Ltd., first edition on August 1, 1994, p. 138-139, 152-153). As described in this document 1, MPEG2 can support a very wide range of applications, and its arithmetic processing varies greatly depending on, for example, the image resolution to be processed. [0003] As a conventional example of an image encoding integrated circuit used for such MPEG2-...
