Abstract :
A 135000-transistor single-chip Reed-Solomon encoder-decoder is presented. The chip can process data at up to 10 Mb/s and uses a (255, 223) block code which is able to correct up to 16 symbol errors. This code is the worldwide standard for telemetry space transmission. A 9-month turnaround, from design to test, was obtained with efficient IA-based CAD (computer-aided design) tools and a fast prototyping electron-beam direct writing process
