Low Power Vlsi Architectures For Error Control Coding And Wavelets

Low-Power VLSI Architectures for Error Control Coding and Wavelets

This final report provides a brief summary of our research results supported by the above grant during the period from May 1,1998 to November 30, 2001. Our research has addressed design of high-speed, low-energy, low-area architectures for signal processing systems and error control coders. Contributions in the area of error control coding architectures include design of low-energy and low-complexity finite field arithmetic architectures and Reed-Solomon (RS) codecs. High- performance and low-power architectures for low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes have been developed.

The VLSI Handbook

For the new millenium, Wai-Kai Chen introduced a monumental reference for the design, analysis, and prediction of VLSI circuits: The VLSI Handbook. Still a valuable tool for dealing with the most dynamic field in engineering, this second edition includes 13 sections comprising nearly 100 chapters focused on the key concepts, models, and equations. Written by a stellar international panel of expert contributors, this handbook is a reliable, comprehensive resource for real answers to practical problems. It emphasizes fundamental theory underlying professional applications and also reflects key areas of industrial and research focus. WHAT'S IN THE SECOND EDITION? Sections on... Low-power electronics and design VLSI signal processing Chapters on... CMOS fabrication Content-addressable memory Compound semiconductor RF circuits High-speed circuit design principles SiGe HBT technology Bipolar junction transistor amplifiers Performance modeling and analysis using SystemC Design languages, expanded from two chapters to twelve Testing of digital systems Structured for convenient navigation and loaded with practical solutions, The VLSI Handbook, Second Edition remains the first choice for answers to the problems and challenges faced daily in engineering practice.
