Abstract

In general, techniques are described for implementing a 16-point inverse discrete cosine transform (IDCT) that is capable of applying multiple IDCTs of different sizes. For example, an apparatus comprising a 16-point inverse discrete cosine transform of type II (IDCT-II) unit may implement the techniques of this disclosure. The 16-point IDCT-II unit performs these IDCTs-II of different sizes to transform data from a spatial to a frequency domain. The 16-point IDCT-II unit includes an 8-point IDCT-II unit that performs one of the IDCTs-II of size 8 and a first 4-point IDCT-II unit that performs one of the IDCTs-II of size 4. The 8-point IDCT-II unit includes the first 4-point DCT-II unit. The 16-point IDCT-II unit also comprises an inverse 8-point DCT-IV unit that includes a second 4-point IDCT-II unit and a third 4-point IDCT-II unit. Each of the second and third 4-point IDCT-II units performs one of the IDCTs-II of size 4.
