Abstract
A data saturation manager may include: a validity bit deciding circuit to generate boundary value data based upon a boundary value; a saturation detecting circuit to determine whether received data is saturated according to the boundary value data, and to output a detection signal as a result; a limit generating circuit to generate a maximum limit and a minimum limit based upon the boundary value data; and a selecting circuit to output one among the received data, the maximum limit and the minimum limit according to the received data and the detection signal.
