Abstract

A two-chip set has been designed, fabricated and is fully functional which performs the baseline JPEG image compression and decompression algorithm. The major functions of the devices include: DCT and IDCT, forward and inverse quantization, Huffman coding and decoding. The devices operate with pixel rates beyond 30 MHz at 70 degrees C and 4.75 V. Each die is less than 10 mm on a side and was implemented in a 1.0 µ CMOS cell-based technology to achieve a 9 man-month design time.
