Abstract

This paper presents design of SoC IPs for Multimedia and Communications. Recently, Application Specific Signal Processors (ASSPs) become important IPs for SoC due to their flexibility and performance, while several applications still need hardwired ASICs. We present two ASSPs for OFDM systems and audio algorithms, and three ASICs, a new FFT processor, a new Reed-Solomon (RS) decoder, and a novel Ethernet compensator.

Short Biography

Myung Hoon Sunwoo: Myung H. Sunwoo received the B.S. degree in electronic engineering from the Sogang University in 1980, the M.S. degree in electrical and electronics from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology in 1982, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Texas at Austin in 1990. Since 1992, he has been a Professor with the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Ajou University in Suwon, Korea. He is the Director of the National Research Laboratory sponsored by the Ministry of Science and Technology. His research interests include SOC design for multimedia and communications and application-specific DSP architectures.

Dr. Sunwoo has published more than 130 papers in international transactions/journals and conferences and also has 28 patents including five U.S. patents. He served as a Technical Program Chair of the IEEE Workshop on Signal Processing Systems (SIPS) in 2003 and a member of the program committee of various international conferences. He has received a number of awards from the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy, Samsung Electronics, and professional foundations. He served as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Systems (2002 – 2003) and as a Guest Editor for the Journal of VLSI Signal Processing (Kluwer, 2004). Currently, He is a Senior Member of IEEE and a Chair of the IEEE CAS Society of the Seoul Chapter.
