Abstract

This paper presents a new architecture of punctured Viterbi decoder with high-speed and low-power based on modified T-algorithm and trace-back method. To gain high throughput and short decoding latency, parallel computations in ACSU and SMU are adopted. Furthermore, to save the power consumptions, the unnecessary computations of path metric are omitted in add-compare-select-unit (ACSU) and the already generated back-tracing routes are reused to reduce the times of trace-back operations in survivor-memory-unit (SMU). The decoding latency of (2,1,7) Viterbi decoder is only 34 clock cycles, the total average power is 185mW with 200Mb/s throughput using 0.25μm CMOS technology.
