N2 - This paper provides a soft BCH decoder using error magnitudes to deal with least reliable bits. With soft information from the previous decoder defined in digital video broadcasting (DVB), the proposed soft BCH decoder provides much lower complexity and latency than the traditional hard BCH decoder while still maintaining performance. The proposed error locator evaluator architecture evaluates error locations without Chien search, leading to high throughput. Börck-Pereyra error magnitudes solvers (BP-EMS) is presented to improve decoding efficiency and hardware complexity. The experimental result reveals that our proposed soft (32400, 32208) BCH decoder defined in DVB-S2 system can save 50.0% gate-count and achieve 314.5Mbps in standard CMOS 90nm technology.
