Overview

The LCD01C is a fully compatible CCSDS rate 223/255 (8160,7136) LDPC error control decoder. A regular quasic–cyclic LDPC code with 511x511 square circulants with weight 2 in the parity check matrix is used. There are 2x16 circulants, resulting in a check node degree of 32 and a variable node degree of 4.

In each clock cycle, 12 check nodes (12x32 = 384 messages) or 96 variable nodes (96x4 = 384 messages) are fully decoded. Each iteration requires 86 clock cycles to calculate the check or variable messages plus a 7 clock cycle pipeline delay. The scaled min–sum iterative decoding algorithm is used.

Optional early stopping allows the decoder to reduce power consumption with little degradation in performance. The decoder contains two sets of message memories so that check and variable calculations can be performed in parallel. Two input memories are used to buffer the input data.

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.
