Abstract
A complete architecture with transistor level simulation is

presented for a low power analog convolutional decoder in 65 nm CMOS.

The decoder core operates in the weak inversion (sub-VT) and realizes the

BCJR decoding algorithm corresponding to the 4-state tail-biting trellis of

a (7,5) convolutional code. The complete decoder also incorporates serial

I/O digital interfaces and current mode differential DACs. The simulated

bit error rate is presented to illustrate the coding gain compared to an

uncoded system. Our results show that a low power, high throughput

convolutional decoder up to 1.25 Mb/s can be implemented using analog

circuitry with a total power... (More)
A complete architecture with transistor level simulation is

uncoded system. Our results show that a low power, high throughput

convolutional decoder up to 1.25 Mb/s can be implemented using analog

circuitry with a total power consumption of 84 μW. For low rate

applications the decoder consumes only 47 μW at a throughput of 250

kb/s. (Less)
