Efficient architecture for Reed-Solomon decoder
Yung-Kuei Lu, Ming‐Der Shieh · 2012
An efficient Reed-Solomon (RS) decoder design based on the reformulated inversionless Berlekamp-Massey (RiBM) algorithm is presented in this paper. Applying the developed control scheme and the simplified boundary cell, the resulting design can significantly reduce the hardware complexity and have a high throughput rate. Compared with the related works, the proposed design has the advantage of area-time complexity. With TSMC 0.18μm process, the simulation results reveal that the developed RS(255,239) decoder can operate up to 425MHz and achieve a throughput rate of 3.4Gbps with a total gate count of 12,668.
