This study proposes an energy-efficient and area-efficient dual-path low-density parity-check (LDPC) with Reed–Solomon (RS) decoder for communication systems. Hardware complexity is reduced by applying a dual-path 2-bit modified layered min-sum algorithm (2M-LMSA) to a (2550, 2040) quasi-cyclic LDPC (QC-LDPC) code with the column and row weights of 3 and 15, respectively. The simplified check node units (CNUs) reduce memory and routing complexity as well as the energy needed to decode each bit. A throughput of 11 Gb/s is achieved by using 90-nm CMOS technology at a clock frequency of 208 MHz at 0.9 V with average power of 244 mW on a chip area of 3.05 mm2. Decoding performance is further improved by appending the (255, 239) RS decoder after the LDPC decoder. The LDPC plus RS decoder consumes the power of 434 mW on the area of 3.45 mm2.

In this paper, two compact memory strategies for partially parallel QC-LDPC decoder architecture are proposed. By compacting several adjacent rows hard decisions and extrinsic messages into one memory entry, which not only reduces the number of memory banks for hard decisions, but also facilitates multiple data accesses per clock cycle so as to increase the throughput of decoder. We demonstrate significant high speed and area efficient benefits of using the proposed techniques with an FPGA implementation of a CCSDS LDPC decoder on Xilinx XC5VLX330 device. The result shows that our new decoder can operate at a maximum frequency of 250 MHz after place and route, and achieve a throughput up to 2 Gb/s at 14 iterations.
