Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 電子研究所 === 81 === In this thesis, a 2-state, radix-16, six-level soft-decision Viteri decoder over 300M bps is designed and simulated using 0.8-um double-metal CMOS. Application of partial-response(PR) signaling and maximum-likelihood sequence detection(MLSD) to digital magnetic recording had been derived and applied to increase the storage densities and reliability. To perform partial-response MLSD at the high data rates, a novel implementation of the Viterbi detector using carry-save arithmetic is proposed and allows each word-level and bit-level operation to be pipelined. A cascadable module is designed to speed-up the decoding rate to meet the requirement.
