Abstract
This paper presents an energy-efficient, single-chip, 1024-point fast Fourier transform (FFT) processor. The 460000-transistor design has been fabricated in a standard 0.7 /spl mu/m (L/sub poly/=0.6 /spl mu/m) CMOS process and is fully functional on first-pass silicon. At a supply voltage of 1.1 V, it calculates a 1024-point complex FFT in 330 /spl mu/s while consuming 9.5 mW, resulting in an adjusted energy efficiency more than 16 times greater than the previously most efficient known FFT processor. At 3.3 V, it operates at 173 MHz-which is a clock rate 2.6 times greater than the previously fastest rate.

High-speed assembly FFT implementation with memory reference reduction on DSP processors

TL;DR: This paper proposes a hand-coded assembly implementation for the radix-2 DIF FFT algorithm with the twiddle-factor-based butterfly grouping method on a TI TMS320C64/spl times/ DSP that is 8 times faster than the C implementation and slightly slower than the TI assembly benchmark while requiring only 50% of memory references due to twiddle factors.

Low-Power CMOS Digital Design

TL;DR: An architecturally based scaling strategy is presented which indicates that the optimum voltage is much lower than that determined by other scaling considerations, and is achieved by trading increased silicon area for reduced power consumption.
