This paper proposes a binary arithmetic encoder of CABAC using a Common Operation Unit including the three modes. The binary arithmetic encoder performing arithmetic encoding and renormalizer can be simply implemented into a hardware architecture since the COU is used regardless of the modes. The proposed binary arithmetic encoder of CABAC includes Context RAM, Context Updater, Common Operation Unit and Bit-Gen. The architecture consists of 4-stage pipeline operating one symbol for each clock cycle. The area of proposed binary arithmetic encoder of CABAC is reduced up to 47%, the performance of proposed binary arithmetic encoder of CABAC is 19% higher than the previous architecture.
