Abstract
Long BCH codes are used as the outer error-correcting code in the second generation of Digital Video Broadcasting Standard from the European Telecommunications Standard Institute. These codes can achieve around 0.6dB additional coding gain over Reed-Solomon codes with similar codeword length and code rate in long-haul optical communication systems. BCH encoders are conventionally implemented by a linear feedback shift register architecture. High-speed applications of BCH codes require parallel implementations of encoders. In addition, long BCH encoders suffer from the effect of large fanout. In this paper, novel architectures are proposed to reduce the achievable minimum clock period of long BCH encoders after the fanout bottleneck has been eliminated. For an (8191, 7684) BCH code, compared to the original 32-parallel BCH encoder architecture without fanout bottleneck, the proposed architectures can achieve a speedup of over 100%.
