Abstract: A low power FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) processor based on Single-path Delay Feedback (SDF) architecture is proposed. Power optimization strategy based on statistical characteristics of input data is applied in the design. Both the advantages and the drawbacks of this strategy are analyzed in detail, and solutions to overcome the drawbacks are addressed. An experimental 64-point FFT processor model is implemented in SMIC 0.18 μm CMOS technology, and for given input signals, 15% power reduction can be achieved.

Key words: Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), low power, data statistical characteristics

摘要: 提出了一种基于SDF(single-path delay feedback)结构的低功耗FFT处理器。该FFT处理器使用了根据输入数据的统计分布特征的功耗优化方案。详细分析了该方法的优缺点,并提出了相应的改进方案。使用中芯国际0.18 μm工艺设计实现了一个64点的FFT处理器,通过比较发现对于特定的数据流,大约可以节省15%的功耗。
