In this letter, we present a design of a single chip video decoder called advanced mobile video ASIC (A‐MoVa) for mobile multimedia applications. This chip uses a mixed hardware/software architecture to improve both its performance and its flexibility. We designed the chip using a partition between the hardware and software blocks, and developed the architecture of an H.264 decoder based on the system‐on‐a‐chip (SoC) platform. This chip contains 290,000 logic gates, 670,000 memory gates, and its size is 7.5 mm×7.5 mm (using 0.25 micron 4‐layers metal CMOS technology).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
