A 128-point Multi-Path SC FFT Architecture
Abstract
This paper presents a new radix-2^k multi-path FFT architecture, named MSC FFT, which is based on a single-path radix-2 serial commutator (SC) FFT architecture. The proposed multi-path architecture has a very high hardware utilization that results in a small chip area, while providing high throughput. In addition, the adoption of radix-2^k FFT algorithms allows for simplifying the rotators even further. It is achieved by optimizing the structure of the processing element (PE). The implemented architecture is a 128-point 4-parallel multi-path SC FFT using 90 nm process. Its area and power consumption at 250 MHz are only 0.167 mm2 and 14.81 mW, respectively. Compared with existing works, the proposed design reduces significantly the chip rea and the power consumption, while providing high throughput.
