Abstract(in English) To make full use of an effective power reduction capability of dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS), a fast motion estimation (ME) algorithm called adaptively assigned breaking-off condition search (A^2BCS) and an ME processor that employs both A^2BCS and DVFS were developed. The A^2BCS algorithm can adaptively predict the optimum supply voltage (V_D) and the optimum clock frequency (f_c) before each block matching process starts. The 90-nm CMOS ME processor consisted of a two-stage pipelined absolute difference accumulator, a DVFS controller, a small DC/DC converter, and a PLL clock driver. Power dissipation of the ME processor was 28.3μW which was 2.42% that of a conventional ME processor adopting a full search ME algorithm.
