Abstract
A decoder control makes use of controllable transfer gates, which effectively implement selectors, to implement required timing offsets for codes that have particular structure. For instance, such timing offsets are effective for LDPC codes with block off-diagonal structure, for instance, as described in the co-pending application. In some implementations, the memory architecture is formed of cells where each cell includes not only a storage element, by also control logic that combines a select signal and the write versus read signal. By co-locating this control logic in each memory cell, control logic and its associated signal distribution is reduced, thereby reducing circuit area and power consumption.
