VLSI Signal Processing Technology

de Magdy A. Bayoumi

VLSI Signal Processing Technology is a response to the tremendous amount of research activity taking place in the field. It introduces readers to the main features of VLSI signal processing, and describes ongoing developments in the area. The comprehensive coverage includes: Current developments in digital signal processing processors and architectures; Features and requirements of image and video signal processing architectures; New market areas for signal processing; Impact of arithmetic circuitry on the performance of DSP processors; Pipelining; Parallelism; Systolic arrays; and Analog signal processing. In addition, Chapter 8 presents a case study of application specific analog architecture for speech recognition. This informative book will stimulate its readers to participate in the rapidly growing field. It can be used for research courses in VLSI design and VLSI signal processing, as well as for graduate courses in signal processing and VLSI architecture. Individual chapters may be used as the basis for tutorials and short courses.
