Abstract

An MP3 encoder chip has been designed and fabricated with the hardware and software co-design concepts. In the aspect of the software. the calculation cycles of the distortion control loop. which requires most of the calculation cycles in MP3 encoding procedure. have been reduced to $67\%$ of the original algorithm through the 'scale factor Pre-calculation'. By using a floating Point 32 bit DSP core and designing the FFT block with the hardware. we can get the additional reduction of the calculation cycles in addition to the software optimization. The designed chip has been verified using HW emulation and fabricated via 0.25um CMOS technology The fabricated chip has the size of $6.2{\time}6.2mm^2$ and operates normally on the test board in the qualitative and quantitative aspect.

MP3 부호화 칩을 하드웨어와 소프트웨어 Co-design 개념을 이용하여 설계하고 칩으로 제작하였다. 소프트웨어적인 측면에서 MP3 부호화과정에서 계산량이 가장 많은 distortion control loop를 scale factor pre-calculation을 통하여 계산량을 $67\%$까지 줄였다. 하드웨어적인 측면에서 고속연산이 가능한 32비트 부동소수점 DSP 코어와 Fn (Fast Fourier Transform) 블록의 하드웨어 구현을 통하여 계산량을 줄였다. 설계된 칩을 하드웨어 에뮬레이션을 통하여 검증한 후 0.25um CMOS 공정을 이용하여 제작하였다. 제작된 칩의 크기는 $6.2{\time}6.2mm^2$이었으며, 제작된 칩은 테스트 보드상에서 정성적 정량적인 측면에서 정상적으로 동작하는 것을 확인하였다.
