Abstract

This paper presents a robust and low-power Viterbi Decoder designed based on asynchronous architecture. The design is based upon Quasi Delay Insensitive (QDI) timing model which leads to a robust functionality for the decoder. To lower the power consumption of the decoder further, an optimization technique to reduce the power dissipation is applied to add-compare-select (ACS) unit of the decoder. The simulation results shows a 20% reduction in the power consumption for the asynchronous design compared to the synchronous design in 0.35μm CMOS technology with a power supply of 2.5V. The throughput for the circuit is 50 MS/s.
