A complete MP3 decoder on a chip
The paper presents the results from a course project which focused on all levels in ASIC design flow by implementing a complete MP3 decoder. Two student teams developed a decoder targeting ASIC and FPGA, respectively. The ASIC decoder, fabricated in a 0.35 μm process from AMI Semiconductor, consumes 40 mW with a supply voltage of 2 V running at 12 MHz. The FPGA decoder has been implemented and ver
