In this paper we introduce an area and power efficient fully-parallel LDPC decoder design, which keeps the BER performance while consuming less hardware resources and lower power compared with conventional decoders. For this decoder, we firstly propose two improved simplified min-sum algorithms, which enable the decoder to reduce the hardware implementation complexity and area: hardware consumption of check operation module is reduced by 40%, while achieving a negligible performance loss compared with the general min-sum algorithm. To reduce the power dissipation of the decoder, we also proposed a power-saved strategy, according to which the message evolution halts as the parity-check condition is satisfied. This strategy reduces more than 50% power under good channel condition. The synthesis result in 0.18 µm CMOS technology shows our decoder based on (648,540) irregular LDPC code of WLAN (802.11n) protocol achieves 810 [Mbps] throughput with 283 [mW] power consumption.
