Abstract

Power consumption has always been a topic of great interest when comes to designs for portable applications. In our CABAC design, all the CABAC functions including support for RDO have been implemented with more local register buffers and larger memory allocation. Thus, it is important to implement power reduction techniques wherever possible to reduce power consumption.
