Abstract

The cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is a popular error detection code (EDC) used in many digital transmission and storage protocols. Most existing digit-serial hardware CRC computation architectures are based on one of the two well-known bit-serial CRC linear feedback shift register (LFSR) architectures. In this paper, we present and investigate a generalized CRC formulation that incorporates negative degree terms. Through software simulations, we identify useful formulations that result in reduced time and/or area complexity CRC circuits compared to the existing non-retimed approaches. Implementation results on an Altera field-programmable gate array (FPGA) device are reported. We conclude that the proposed approach is most effective when the digit size is greater than the generator polynomial degree.
