Reed-Solomon Decoder Core

Summary           

The Reed-Solomon error correction core is used in DVB, HDTV, Satellite and RF applications. It can be used either in concatenated systems in conjunction with a Viterbi Decoder, or as an independent FEC in applications where it is necessary to correct bit errors in blocks of received data.  Various configurations of the decoder can be quickly generated by our RS generator program.  As standard configurations we offer GF 256 decoders which allow configurable primitive polynomial, either error decoding or erasure decoding with block sizes up to 256 bytes with T=8,10 or 16.  It is provided as synthesizable Verilog HDL.  Full documentation, test benches and Synopsys development scripts are provided.  Design customizations can be performed by the customer or by Alantro Communications to suit the customer application.  Since our decoder core HDL is computer generated, we can quickly optimize the design for custom applications.
