Abstract

A compact power and computing delay efficient channel codec chip for the pan-European digital cellular radio (Group Special Mobile, or GSM) system is presented. This key component for the hand-portable mobile station is realized through a dedicated architecture and application-tailored memories. Full scan design and self-test facilities result in time and coverage efficient testing. This chip was developed in 1.2-μm CMOS technology. The power, size, and processing time compare favorably to those for any standard processor-based implementation
