Abstract
An implementation of a two-dimensional array processor for fast Fourier transform (FFT) using a 2- mu m CMOS technology is presented. The array processor, which is dedicated to 16-point FFT, implements a 4*4 mesh array of 16 processing elements (PEs) working in parallel. Design considerations in both the chip level and the PE level are examined. A layout design methodology based on bit-slice units (BSUs) results in a very simple design, easy debugging, and a regular interconnection scheme through abutment. It contains about 48,000 transistors on an area of 53.52 mm/sup 2/, excluding the 83-pad area, and operation is on a 15-MHz clock. The array processor performs 24.6 million complex multiplications per second, and computes a 16-point FFT in 3 mu s.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
