In this paper, we propose an efficient VLSI architecture of Reed-Solomon(RS) decoder. To improve the speed. we develope an architecture featuring parallel and pipelined processing. To implement the parallel and pipelined processing architecture, we analyze the RS decoding algorithm and the honor's algorithm for parallel processing and we also modified the Euclid's algorithm to apply the efficient parallel structure in RS decoder. To show the proposed architecture, the performance of the proposed RS decoder is compared to Shao's and we obtain the 10 % efficiency in area and three times faster in speed when it's compared to Shao's time domain decoder. In addition, we implemented the proposed RS decoder with Altera FPGA Flex10K-50.

This paper describes a design of pipelined adaptive decision-feedback equalizer (PADFE) for high bit-rate wireless digital communication systems. To enhance the throughput rate of ADFE, two pipeline stages are inserted into the critical path of ADFE by using delayed least-mean-square (DLMS) algorithm. Redundant binary (RB) arithmetic is applied to all the data processing of ADFE including filter laps and coefficient update blocks. When compared with conventional methods based on two's complement arithmetic, the proposed approach reduces arithmetic complexity, as well as results in a very simple complex-valued filter structure, thus suitable for VLSI implementation. The design parameters (filter tap, coefficient and internal bit-width, etc.) and equalization performance (bit error rate, convergence speed, etc.) are analyzed by algorithm-level simulation using COSSAP. The PADFE was designed using VHDL and Synopsys, and mapped into two ALTERA FLEX10k100 FPGAs.

In this paper, we proposed the architecture of the decoder which implements the multi-view images decoding algorithm. The study of the hardware structure of the multi-view image processing has not been accomplished. The proposed multi-view images decoder operates in a three stage pipelined manner and extracts the depth of the pixels of the decoded image every clock. The multi-view images decoder consists of three modules, Node selector which transfers the value of the nodes repeatedly and Depth Extractor which extracts the depth of each pixel from the four values of the nodes and Affine transformer which generates the projecting position on the image plane from the values of the pixels and the specified viewpoint. The proposed architecture is designed and simulated by the Max+plus II design tool and the operating frequency is 30MHz. The image can be constructed in a real time by the decoder with the proposed architecture.

Generating fast round key in AES Rijndael algorithm using three key sizes, such as 128, 192, and 256-bit keys is a critical factor to develop high throughput AES processors. In this paper, we propose on-the-fly round key generator which is applicable to the pipelined and non-pipelined AES processor in which cipher and decipher nodes must be implemented on a chip. The proposed round key generator has modular and area-and-time efficient structure implemented with simple connection of two key expander modules, such as key_exp_m and key_exp_s module. The round key generator for non-pipelined AES processor with support of three key lengths and cipher/decipher modes has about 7.8-ns delay time under 0.25um 2.5V CMOS standard cell library and consists of about 17,700 gates.

In this paper, we propose a programmable 16 bit DSP architecture using FIFO instruction memory. With this DSP architecture, System structure, BUS structure, instruction set ant and an assembler for system test are developed. The characteristic of this structure is that it simply fetches instructions not from RAM but from FIFO using shift operations. Accordingly, System can be designed regardless of RAM access time. One cycle is enough to execute an instruction, if instruction pipeline is operated. Another merit of this structure is that we can obtain the same effect as instruction pipelining without constructing a complex pipelined controller by decreasing the pipeline number.

This paper proposes on the structure for reducing the circuit area and increasing the computation speed in implementing to hardware using the SEED algorithm of a 128-bit block cipher. SEED cipher can be implemented with S/W or H/W method. It should be important that we have minimize the area and computation time in H/W implementation. To increase the computation speed, we used the structure of the pipelined systolic array, and this structure is a simple thing without including any buffer at the input and output circuit. This circuit can record the encryption rate of 320 Mbps at 10 MHz clock. We have designed the circuit with the Verilog HDL coding showing the circuit performances in the figures and the table.

This paper presents an 8-bit pipelined analog-to-digital converter. The supply voltage applied for comparators and other sub-blocks of the ADC were 0.7V and 0.5V, respectively. This low power ADC utilizes the capacitive charge pump technique combined with a source-follower and calibration to resolve the need for the opamp. The differential charge pump technique does not require any common mode feedback circuit. The entire structure of the ADC is based on fully dynamic circuits that enable the design of a very low power ADC. The ADC was designed to operate at 1MS/s in 90nm CMOS process, where simulated results using ADS2011 show the peak SNDR and SFDR of the ADC to be 47.8 dB (7.64 ENOB) and 59 dB respectively. The ADC consumes less than 1mW for all active dynamic and digital circuitries.

The Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) is a core element of a computer processor that performs arithmetic and logic operations on the operands in computer instruction words. We have developed and tested an RSFQ multi-bit ALU constructed with half adder unit cells. To reduce the complexity of the ALU, We used half adder unit cells. The unit cells were constructed of one half adder and three de switches. The timing problem in the complex circuits has been a very important issue. We have calculated the delay time of all components in the circuit by using Josephson circuit simulation tools of XIC, $WRspice^{TM}$, and Julia. To make the circuit work faster, we used a forward clocking scheme. This required a careful design of timing between clock and data pulses in ALU. The designed ALU had limited operation functions of OR, AND, XOR, and ADD. It had a pipeline structure. The fabricated 1-bit, 2-bit, and 4-bit ALU circuits were tested at a few kilo-hertz clock frequency as well as a few tens giga-hertz clock frequency, respectively. For high-speed tests, we used an eye-diagram technique. Our 4-bit ALU operated correctly at up to 5 GHz clock frequency.

This paper presents the design of a pipelined virtual output queue routing engine for an advanced input-queued ATM switch, which has a serial cross bar structure. The proposed routing engine has been designed for wire-speed routing with a pipelined buffer management. It provides the tolerance of requests and grants data transmission latency between the routing engine and central arbiter using a new request control method that is based on a high-speed shifter. The designed routing engine has been implemented in a field programmable gate array (FPGA) chip with a 77MHz operating frequency, 16$\times$16 switch size, and 2.5Gbps/port speed.
