A 500-Mb

Two eight-state 7-bit soft-output Viterbi decoders matched to an EPR4 channel and a rate-8/9 convolutional code are implemented in a 0.18-μm CMOS technology. The throughput of the decoders is increased through architectural transformation of the add-compare-select recursion, with a small area overhe...
