Overview

Very high throughput (several Gbps) decoder that can be configured on-the-fly as:
DVB-S2/S2X LDPC decoder
or as
Six independent DVB-RCS/RCS2 Turbo decoders
 

Key features

  • On-the-fly configuration, with each codeword:
  • (a) LDPC/Turbo
  • (b) All DVB-S2/S2X code rate (including Low-SNR)
  • (c) Turbo interleaver parameters and codeword length per RCS/RCS2 decoder
  • (d) Maximal number of iterations.
  • 500MHz clock with RAD-hard cells (TSMC 65LP)
  • Belief-propagation iterative decoding (floating-point performance)
  • Single-port memories, external to the IP-core
  • Options for synchronous or asynchronous reset
  • Efficient HW utilization
  • Indications on the number iterations done, early-convergence,
  • and SNR
  • Low power design:
  • (a) Gated-clock registers and FF
  • (b) All memories cs port is negated on clocks not used to access the memory
  • (c) Continuous monitoring of convergence enables early stop of iterations when a codeword is found, or earlier if instructed due to system
  • considerations.
  • (d) idle signal enables powering- offthe whole IP-core
  • Single clock synchronous design
  • All IP-core inputs and outputs are registered
  • Portable to all ASIC and FPGA technologies

What’s Included?

  • 1) Simulation bit-exact shared-object for Matlab/Octave/C/Cpp
  • 2) Synthesizable Verilog HDL code
  • 3) HDL test bench with vectors
  • 4) Integration guidelines and datasheet
  • 5) Support

Practical Considerations of LDPC Decoder Design in Communications Systems

This paper covers some practical aspects of designing the LDPC decoder starting from comparison between different techniques, different decoders parameters or standards, the effect of those parameters on the LDPC performance, also it discusses the algorithm selection process, and floating point implementation process.

Audio Transport in DisplayPort VIP

DisplayPort uses Secondary Data Packets (SDPs), which are transported over the Main-Link that are not main video stream data. This allows it to carry audio and video simultaneously. The VIP supports audio transmission both in the original mode as defined in the specification as well as just as any other SDP being transmitted.
