The core element of the distributed arithmetic is implemented with pipelined architecture, where only table accessing, shift and accumulation are needed. To optimize the efficiency of inverse transformation, a zero pre-detecting scheme is used in the proposed architecture. The distributed arithmetic tables are organized as differential code to reduce almost half of the ROM size.
