    Abstract

    HEVC (H.265) standard was proposed as a means to increase the compression rate with no loss in video quality. Large integer DCT, with sizes 16x16 and 32x32, is one of the key new features of the H.265 standard. In this paper, we propose a new scalable architecture for integer DCT in HEVC encoder. The proposed architecture is a fully pipelined architecture with optimized adders bit-widths. It was prototyped on TSMC 65 nm CMOS technology. The prototyping results show the high performance of theproposed architecture. Its gate count is 130K and it can achieve throughput of 9.26 Gsps. The proposed architecture can encode 8K @ 120 fps video sequence with working frequency of 373.25 MHz in real time.
