Digital audio, speech recognition, cable modems, radar, high-definition television-these are but a few of the modern computer and communications applications relying on digital signal processing (DSP) and the attendant application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). As information-age industries constantly reinvent ASIC chips for lower power consumption and higher efficiency, there is a growing need for designers who are current and fluent in VLSI design methodologies for DSP. Enter VLSI Digital Signal Processing Systems-a unique, comprehensive guide to performance optimization techniques in VLSI signal processing. Based on Keshab Parhi's highly respected and popular graduate-level courses, this volume is destined to become the standard text and reference in the field. This text integrates VLSI architecture theory and algorithms, addresses various architectures at the implementation level, and presents several approaches to analysis, estimation, and reduction of power consumption. Throughout this book, Dr. Parhi explains how to design high-speed, low-area, and low-power VLSI systems for a broad range of DSP applications. He covers pipelining extensively as well as numerous other techniques, from parallel processing to scaling and roundoff noise computation. Readers are shown how to apply all techniques to improve implementations of several DSP algorithms, using both ASICs and off-the-shelf programmable digital signal processors. The book features hundreds of graphs illustrating the various DSP algorithms, examples based on digital filters and transforms clarifying key concepts, and interesting end-of-chapter exercises that help match techniques with applications. In addition, the abundance of readily available techniques makes this an extremely useful resource for designers of DSP systems in wired, wireless, or multimedia communications. The material can be easily adopted in new courses on either VLSI digital signal processing architectures or high-performance VLSI system design. An invaluable reference and practical guide to VLSI digital signal processing. A tremendous source of optimization techniques indispensable in modern VLSI signal processing, VLSI Digital Signal Processing Systems promises to become the standard in the field. It offers a rich training ground for students of VLSI design for digital signal processing and provides immediate access to state-of-the-art, proven techniques for designers of DSP applications-in wired, wireless, or multimedia communications. Topics include: * Transformations for high speed using pipelining, retiming, and parallel processing techniques * Power reduction transformations for supply voltage reduction as well as for strength or capacitance reduction * Area reduction using folding techniques * Strategies for arithmetic implementation * Synchronous, wave, and asynchronous pipelining * Design of programmable DSPs. An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the problems in the book is available from the Wiley editorial department.

Digital signal processing (DSP) covers a wide range of applicationssuch as signal acquisition, analysis, transmission, storage, andsynthesis. Special attention is needed for the VLSI (very largescale integration) implementation of high performance DSP systemswith examples from video and radar applications. This book providesbasic architectures for VLSI implementations of DSP tasks coveringarchitectures for application specific circuits and programmableDSP circuits. It fills an important gap in the literature byfocusing on the transition from algorithms specification toarchitectures for VLSI implementations. Areas coveredinclude: * architectures for basic operations and elementary functions * parallel processing and pipelining * application specific array processors * programmable digital signal processors With the fusion of signal processing algorithms and VLSI circuitdesign it will assist digital signal processing architecturedevelopers. This book is of particular interest to electronicengineering and computer science students and will benefitpractitioners of digital signal processor circuit design.

Designing VLSI systems represents a challenging task. It is a transfonnation among different specifications corresponding to different levels of design: abstraction, behavioral, stntctural and physical. The behavioral level describes the functionality of the design. It consists of two components; static and dynamic. The static component describes operations, whereas the dynamic component describes sequencing and timing. The structural level contains infonnation about components, control and connectivity. The physical level describes the constraints that should be imposed on the floor plan, the placement of components, and the geometry of the design. Constraints of area, speed and power are also applied at this level. To implement such multilevel transfonnation, a design methodology should be devised, taking into consideration the constraints, limitations and properties of each level. The mapping process between any of these domains is non-isomorphic. A single behavioral component may be transfonned into more than one structural component. Design methodologies are the most recent evolution in the design automation era, which started off with the introduction and subsequent usage of module generation especially for regular structures such as PLA's and memories. A design methodology should offer an integrated design system rather than a set of separate unrelated routines and tools. A general outline of a desired integrated design system is as follows: * Decide on a certain unified framework for all design levels. * Derive a design method based on this framework. * Create a design environment to implement this design method.
