  • Circuit for carrying out the add compare select operation with a functionality going beyond this
    Patent number: 7565601
    Abstract: A circuit is disclosed that is designed to carry out add compare select operations for determination of state metrics. The circuit is also designed to carry out a computation operation which goes beyond an add compare select operation for state metric determination, wherein the circuit is either configurable for this purpose and/or has an output for emitting at least one circuit-internal variable which goes beyond the output variable from the add compare select operation.

  • Path metric calculation circuit in viterbi decoders
    Publication number: 20040153958
    Abstract: A Viterbi decoder includes a circuit for calculating transition metric values, that is designed so that one of the calculated transition metric values is set to the value 0 by norming the transition metric values. Further, it has a circuit for updating the path metric values by means of ACS operations, those sections (200) of this circuit, which use the transition metric value normed to the value 0 for ACS operations, have a two's complement arithmetic (21, 23) for performing the comparison operation.
