C2000 Microcontroller Workshop - Viterbi, Complex Math, CRC Unit 11 - 1
Viterbi, Complex Math, CRC Unit
Introduction
The Viterbi, Complex Math, CRC Unit (VCU) is a fully programmable block that greatly
increases the performance of communication, as well as signal processing algorithms. In
addition, the VCU eliminates the need for a second processor to manage the communication link.

CRC Unit
Viterbi Unit
Complex Math Unit
The Viterbi complex math CRC unit extends the C2000 instruction set to support Viterbi
operations used in communications; complex math, which includes complex FFTs and complex
filters, and is used in power line communications and radar applications; and cyclical redundancy
check, which is used in communications and memory robustness checks.
