This paper presents a high-throughput decoder design for the Quasi-Cyclic (QC) Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes. Two new techniques are proposed, including parallel layered decoding architecture (PLDA) and critical path splitting. PLDA enables parallel processing for all layers by establishing dedicated message passing paths among them. The decoder avoids crossbar-based large interconnect network. Critical path splitting technique is based on articulate adjustment of the starting point of each layer to maximize the time intervals between adjacent layers, such that the critical path delay can be split into pipeline stages. Furthermore, min-sum and loosely coupled algorithms are employed for area efficiency. As a case study, a rate-1/2 2304-bit irregular LDPC decoder is implemented using ASIC design in 90nm CMOS process. The decoder can achieve the maximum decoding throughput of 2.2Gbps at 10 iterations. The operating frequency is 950MHz after synthesis and the chip area is 2.9mm(2).

This letter proposes a partition decoupling algorithm for the compact thermal model to reduce the computation burden in the multichip insulated gate bipolar transistor modules. As a typical coupled system, the compact thermal model is split into separate thermal models with several shared interfaces. The interface data, coupling power loss, coming from the previous time step is used to calculate the real temperature in the current time step. The proposed algorithm transforms the spatial coupling of the compact thermal model into the temporal coupling. Furthermore, based on the proposed partition decoupling algorithm, some more loosely coupled algorithms are also designed. Finally, both simulation and experiment are conducted to verify three loosely coupled algorithms.
