Fast Viterbi Decoder IIp - Capable of 1symbol/1clock decoding

The Viterbi decoder is a forward error correction (FEC) decoder for covolutional codes used in various communication systems including INMARSAT, INTELSAT, DVS, and IEEE802.11.

The Viterbi decoder needs a large-scale hardware for searching a maximum likelihood path. So, it has been difficult to design high-speed Viterbi decoder with a small-scale hardware.

ML-LABO has invented a new algorithm for accelerating Viterbi decoder with a small-scale hardware. The Fast Viterbi Decoder IIp is accelerated by the algorithm, not by being optimized for Xilinx FPGA architecture. So, the Fast Viterbi Decoder IIp achieves an excellent performance even if it is implemented on ASIC.

In addition, the Fast Viterbi Decoder IIp is capable of 1symbol/1clock decoding unlike Fast Viterbi Decoder Ip. So, the Fast Viterbi Decoder IIp is easy to use.
