Abstract

This paper presents a low-power bit-serial Viterbi decoder chip with the coding rate r = 1/3 and the constraint length K = 9 (256 states). This chip is targeted for high speed convolutional decoding for next generation wireless applications. The Add-Compare-Select (ACS) units have been designed using bit-serial arithmetic and a power efficient trace-back scheme and an application-specific memory have been developed for the trace-back operation. The chip was implemented using 0.5μm CMOS technology and is operative at 20Mbps under 3.3V and at 2Mbps under 1.8V. The power dissipation is only 9.8mW at 2Mbps operation under 1.8V.
