A VLSI implementation of an FFT/NTT computational unit
Magdy Bayoumi, GRAHAM A. JULLIEN, W. Miller · 2005
The coupling of Residue Number System (RNS) with the recent advances in VLSI technology leads to an efficient implementation of many digital signal processing algorithms. This paper discusses modularity in implementing RNS systems, as modularity is considered an important criterion for VLSI design. An NTT/FFT computational unit is implemented using two multi-look-up table modules as building block units. The layout can be optimized using a look-up table layout procedure which supports the custom design approach. The modularity has been achieved on both functional and layout levels where the interconnection area is minimum.
