Abstract
Disclosed is a configurable Reed-Solomon encoder and method. The configurable Reed-Solomon encoder comprises a multiplexed multiplier-accumulator, a parallel latch bank operatively coupled to the multiplexed multiplier-accumulator, a data/parity multiplexer coupled to the parallel latch bank, and an encoder controller operatively coupled to, and controlling the operation of, the multiplexed multiplier-accumulator, the parallel latch bank, and the data/parity multiplexer. The configurable Reed-Solomon encoder is preferably implemented in an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), although it may be implemented in software executed by a high-speed digital signal processor, etc.
