Abstract(in English) This paper describes a 60OmW single-chip MPEG2 video decoder, implemented in a O.5μm triple metal CMOS technology, which operates with a 3.3-volts power supply. To achieve low power consumption, a low power dual-port RAM has been developed utilizing a selective bit line precharge scheme to reduce bit line current which is suitable for use in the bit-slice array commonly found in parametric ASIC RAM macro modules. This architecture and a non-DC current sense amp make the RAM's read power consumption one-third of that of a conventional dual-port RAM. Various techniques such as multiple-clock architecture and a system clock independent from a display clock make a system clock frequency as low as possible. The video decoder has a syntax parser, so that it can handle the higher syntactic elements of MPEG2 bit streams without any host processor and decode Main profile at Main Level of MPEG2 bit streams.
