Targeted for a wireless OFDM based modem application the fixed-point DSP core consists of 16/spl times/16-bit datapath units in parallel providing 640 M MAC operations per second. In a Galois field split mode 32 8-bit datapaths deliver 1.28 G MAC/s. The DSP is based on a scalable architecture which supports customization depending on the application needs. The 289 mm/sup 2/ chip was manufactured in a 0.35 /spl mu/m CMOS technology, operates at 40 MHz and dissipates <1 W from a 3.3 V supply.
