The first fully operational implementation of a complete 16x16 Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) on a single chip with the speed and the resolution necessary for video images is described. Using a pipelined concurrent architecture, the DCT IC was designed for real-time processing of 14.3 h4Hz sampled video data. Distributed arithmetic combined with bit-serial and bit-parallel structures is used to implement the required vector inner products concurrently. The chip accepts 9-bit inputs and produces 14-bit DCT coefficients. The circuit has been laid out using the symbolic design tool MULGA. The chip contains approximately 73,000 transistors and was fabricated using a double metal N-well 2pm 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.
