In this paper, a power-scalable H.264 encoding system is provided with the efforts on both the algorithm and the architecture levels. For a start, a Motion Estimation (ME) preskip algorithm is adopted as a system-level power-scalable algorithm. In order to realize a dedicated hardware, a novel reconfigurable Macro-Block (MB) pipelining architecture is proposed. It can improve not only system flexibility but also hardware efficiency. Besides, it is also beneficial for power management with module-level gated clock insertion. According to simulation results, the proposed H. 264 encoder can support power-scalable functionality in the range of about 20 to 90 mW with graceful quality degradation.
