Implementation of NEDA-based DCT architecture using even-odd decomposition of the 8 × 8 DCT matrix
New Distributed Arithmetic has been been applied to the 1-D DCT to produce a low power, high throughput architecture. In previous work, we applied NEDA to the even-odd decomposition matrices of the 8 × 8 forward and inverse DCT. With the proposed approach, the number of adders required for the adder array for the forward DCT and the inverse DCT is fewer than required if NEDA is applied directly to the 8 × 8 DCT and IDCT matrices. This reduction results in few adders needed, without decreasing the throughput. Also, for the inverse DCT, the number of adder stages is reduced, resulting in faster decoding. In this paper, we present the results of the implementation for the forward DCT using 4:2 compressor trees where needed to decrease the delay and show the results obtained from synthesizing the design in 0.18¿ technology using Cadence BuildGates.
