VLSI realization of 2D HDTV subband filter-banks with on-chip line memories and FIFOs

authored by: K. Grüger, M. Winzker, W. Gehrke, P. Pirsch
Abstract: Subband coding is frequently proposed for source coding of HDTV. Key components for the compact realization of subband codecs are VLSI filterbanks for analysis and synthesis filtering. Avoiding programmability the development and application of dedicated subband filterbanks can significantly reduce hardware expense. For 2D Quadrature Mirror Filterbanks with 14x 10 taps, a chip set with on-chip line memories and synchronous FIFOs has been developed using a 1.2jim-CMOS technology. Only two identical ICs each with about 450,000 transistors and a chip area of 92mm² are necessary for one filterbank. The implementation is adapted to the systems parameters of interlaced scanning but the architecture can easily be extended to the processing of future progressive HDTV.

CONCLUSION AchipsetforHDTVsubbandfilteringhasbeendeveloped.Closeinteractionduringthedevelopmentofthealgo¬ rithm foranalysis synthesis filtering and the hardware architecture lead to a compactrealization. All in advance known properties of the algorithm are utilized. In particular the application of a Quadrature Mirror Filter with fixed filter coefficients was advantageous. On-chip memories provide the high data access rate needed between vertical memory and arithmetic. The implemented chip realization showed the feasibility of the approach. Usinga dedicated hardware architecture can lead topowerful compact implementations.Thechip set has been developed and tested for interlaced scanned HDTV signals, but the proposed architecture can even process 144MHz sampled progressive HDTV pictures with available CMOS technology. 7.
