Abstract

A 300-MHz 16-b full-programmable parallel-pipelined video signal processor ULSI has been developed. With multifunctional arithmetic units to achieve parallel vector processing, and with a phase-locked-loop (PLL) type clock generator to help attain the 300-MHz internal operating speed, this ULSI is able to attain, with only one chip, 30-frame-per-second full-CIF video data coding based on CCITT H.261. Two different types of pass-transistor BinMOS circuits have been developed to help achieve an access time of 3 ns for a 146-kb SRAM and for data buses. Fabricated with a 0.5-μm BiCMOS and triple-layer metallization process technology, the video signal processor ULSI contains 1.27-million transistors in a 16.5×17.0-mm² die area
