This paper describes design of a (32, 28) Reed Solomon decoder for optical compact disk provides double error detecting and correcting capability. The most complex circuit in the RS decoder is part for solving the error location numbers from error location polynomial, and the circuit has great influence on overall decoder complexity. We use RAM based architecture with Euclid algorithm, Chien search algorithm and Forney algorithm. We have developed VHDL model and Performed logic synthesis using the SYNOPSYS CAD tool. Then, the RS decoder has been implemented with FPGA. The total umber of gate is about 11,000 gates and it operates at 20MHz.

A Analog parallel processing-based Viterbi decoder which decodes PRML signal of DVD has been designed by CMOS circuit. The analog processing-based Viterbi decoder implements are functions of the conventional digital Viterbi decoder utilizing the analog parallel processing circuit technology.

This paper proposes the architecture of high-performance Viterbi decoder circuit. The proposed circuit does not require additional memory to calculate the branch metrics because it uses the characteristics of the branch data. The speed of the Viterbi decoder circuit is increased up to 75% by rearranging the path metric data in SRAM and registers properly for fast add-compare-select operations. We described the proposed Viterbi decoder circuit in Verilog HDL and synthesized the gate-level circuit using 130nm standard cell library. The synthesized circuit consists of 8,858 gates and its maximum operating frequency is 130MHz.

A circuit design technique to reduce the propagation time is proposed for the analog parallel processing-based Viterbi decoder. The analog Viterbi decoder implements the function of the conventional digital Viterbi decoder utilizing the analog parallel processing circuit technology. The decoder is for the PR(1.2,2.1) signal of DVD. The benefits are low power consumption and less silicon occupation. In this paper, a propagation time reduction technique is proposed by minimizing the parasitic capacitance components in the layout design of the analog Viterbi decoder. The propagation time reduction effect of the proposed technique has been shown via HSPICE simulation.

A medium scale integrated circuit, BCD to seven segment decoder/driver is designed and fabricated by employing P-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor technology. The device configuration is specifically designed for a common cathode seven segment LED display unit. The decoder logic is composed of two serially connected read-only-memory matrices and the LED drivers are implemented with wide channel FET's. The fabricated integrated circuit performed successfully with a supply voltage between -7 Volt and -26 Volt and the non-uniformity of the LED segment current is about 10%.

In this paper, we designed a Viterbi decoder with constraint length K=7, code rate R=1/2, encoder generator polynomial (171, 133)$_{8}$. This decoder makes use of 3-bit soft decision. We designed the Viterbi decoder using VHDL. We employed conventional logic circuit instead of ROM for branch metric units(BMUs) to reduce the number of gates. We adopted fully parallel structures for add-compare-select units(ACSUs). The size of the designed decoder is about 200, 000 gates.s.
