Journal ArticleDOI
Probability propagation and decoding in analog VLSI
TL;DR: The sum-product algorithm (belief/probability propagation) can be naturally mapped into analog transistor circuits, which enable the construction of analog-VLSI decoders for turbo codes, low-density parity-check codes, and similar codes.
Proceedings Article
All–analog decoder for a binary (18,9,5) tail–biting trellis code
TL;DR: An all-analog high-speed decoding technique is described which is suitable for magnetic recording (MR) and other computationally demanding applications and a comparison shows that a digital implementation is outperformed by more than two orders of magnitude in terms of speed and/or power consumption.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decoding in analog VLSI
TL;DR: This article gives a tutorial introduction to research on the iterative decoding of state-of-the-art error correcting codes such as turbo codes, and it is estimated that analog decoder can outperform digital decoders by two orders of magnitude in speed and/or power consumption.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
An analog VLSI decoding technique for digital codes
TL;DR: This paper presents the application of a new type of analog computing network that enables the construction of all-analog decoders for high-performance error-correcting codes which outperform digital decmoders in terms of speed and/or power consumption.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improved two-step clock-feedthrough compensation technique for switched-current circuits
TL;DR: In this article, a clock-feedthrough compensation scheme for switched-current circuits is proposed, which is especially suited for the design of delay lines for high-frequency operation, in which the input is sampled in a parallel combination of a coarse and a fine memory transistor.
