METHOD FOR REALIZING FINITE FIELD DIVIDER ARCHITECTURE

Abstract

A method for realizing a finite field divider architecture is proposed, in which all standard basis of a divider are transformed into the composite field basis, and the circuit is realized using subfield multiplier, squarer, adder and lookup table over this composite field. The user can finish a division operation within one clock cycle and accomplish the requirement of low complexity. In many finite field operations, divider circuits like this are very helpful to RS/BCH decoders or ECC/Security processors.
