An MPEG audio decoder chip

A single chip MPEG audio decoder which performs the decoding scheme with direct hardware implementation approach, without programming, is presented. Based on the computation analysis of decoder, we develop a novel design which only requires a half computation amounts of the original's and storage memory too. The chip is designed with cost-effective and simple circuitry feature, and thus it can provides a consumer-economical solution, especially in designing time and complexity. © 1995 IEEE
