A circuit design of Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) decoder for IEEE 802.16e systems is with new overlapped method is proposed in this thesis. This circuit can be operated with 19 modes which are corresponding to block sizes of 576, ¡K, 2304. LDPC decoders can be implemented by using iterations with Variable Node and Check Node Processes. The hardware utilization ratio, which can be enhanced from 50% to 100% by using our proposed overlapped method, is better than traditional overlapped method. In [2], the traditional overlapped method utilization ratio just can be enhanced from 50% to 75% for IEEE 802.16e LDPC decoder with code rate 1/2. Under the same operating frequency, our proposed method can further increase 25% when compared with traditional overlapped method [2]. In this thesis, we also propose two circuit architectures to increase the operating frequency. First, we use a faster comparison circuit in our comparison unit [1]. Second, we use Carry Save Adder¡]CSA¡^method [8] to replace the common adder unit.
The circuit is carried out by TSMC CMOS 0.18£gm 1P6M process with chip area 3.11 x 3.08 mm2. In the gate level simulation, the output data rate of this circuit is above 78.4MHz, so the circuit can meet the requirement of IEEE 802.16e system.
