Design of a dedicated DSP core for speech coder using dual MACs

Dual MAC를 이용한 음성 부호화기용 DSP Core 설계에 관한 연구

In the paper, CDMA's vocoder algorithm, QCELP, was analyzed. And, 16-bit programmable DSP core for QCELP was designed. When it is used two MACs in DSP, we can implement low-power DSP and estimate decrease of parameter computation speed. Also, we implemented in FIFO memory using register file to increase the access time of the data. This DSP was designed using logic synthesis tool, COMPASS, by top-down design methodology. Therefore, it is possible to cope with rapid change at mobile communication market.
