Title
A Finite Field Processor Employing Dual Parallel Datapath For High-Speed/Low-Power Rs-Ecc Applications
Abstract
We suggest a finite field processor for Reed-Solomon decoder which can be used for next generation DVDP/ROM, HD-DVD applications. Suggested processor implements Massey-Berlekamp's FSR synthesis algorithm which solve newton's identity to find the coefficients of error locator polynomial. By employing SIMD-like dual parallel pipelined datapath which exploited the characteristic of the needed computation of FSR algorithm, suggested processor shows about 2 times throughput at the same clock frequency compared with single pipelined datapath. Furthermore, it was implemented as a programmable processor rather than dedicated architecture to a specific error numbers and the length of codeword, it has flexibility and extensibility regardless of the number of correctable errors/erasures and the length of codeword. Suggested processor shows high-speed capability up to 320MHz if implemented using 0.35 mum technology. And also, this highspeed nature can be traded for lower-power consumption unless the aim of application is high-speed explicitly by reducing clock rate.
