ABSTRACT:
A Galois field multiplier array includes a 1stregister, a 2ndregister, a 3rdregister, and a plurality of multiplier cells. The 1stregister stores bits of a 1stoperand. The 2ndregister stores bits of a 2ndoperand. The 3rdregister stores bits of a generating polynomial that corresponds to one of a plurality of applications (e.g., FEC, CRC, Reed Solomon, et cetera). The plurality of multiplier cells is arranged in rows and columns. Each of the multiplier cells outputs a sum and a product and each cell includes five inputs. The 1stinput receives a preceding cell's multiply output, the 2ndinput receives at least one bit of the 2ndoperand, the 3rdinput receives a preceding cell's sum output, a 4thinput receives at least one bit of the generating polynomial, and the 5thinput receives a feedback term from a preceding cell in a preceding row. The multiplier cells in the 1strow have the 1stinput, 3rdinput, and 5thinput set to corresponding initialization values in accordance with the 2ndoperand.
