Abstract

A quaternary systolic product-sum computation circuit for GF((2^2)^m) using voltage-mode vMOSFETs is presented. The design is composed of four basic cells connected in a pipelined fashion. Each basic cell is composed of 2 Galois field adders, 2 Galois field multipliers, and 7 flip-flops. The circuit was simulated using Affirma Analog Circuit Design Environment tool supplied by Cadence, and it has shown to perform correctly. The quaternary circuit for GF((2^2)^2) shows a significant amount of savings in both transistor count and number of connections compared to the one that uses the binary field GF(2^4).
