Block dimension settings of transform skip mode
Devices, systems and methods for lossless coding for visual media coding are described. An exemplary method for video processing includes determining, based on a current video block of a video satisfying a dimension constraint, that coding modes are enabled for representing the current video block in a bitstream representation, where the dimension constraint states that a same set of allowed dimensions for the current video block is disabled for the coding modes, and where, for an encoding operation, the coding modes represent the current video block in the bitstream representation without using a transform operation, or where, for a decoding operation, the coding modes are used to obtain the current video block without using an inverse transform operation; and performing a conversion between the current video block and the bitstream representation of the video based on one of the coding modes.

Adaptive edge-rate boosting driver with programmable strength for signal conditioning
A signal conditioner that includes a transition-detection module and a current-injection module. The transition-detection module is configured to receive a pair of differential signals from a data line and generate one or more comparator output signals and a transition-indication signal to indicate whether a transition has been detected on the differential signals. The current-injection module is configured to receive the comparator output signals and transition-indication signal from the transition-detection module, and generate appropriate currents for injection into the data line to boost edge rates of the differential signals when the transition-detection module detects a transition of the differential signals or remain high impedance when no transition occurs on the differential signals.
