This paper proposes a novel low-complexity architecture for turbo decoders that decomposes lookup table-log-BCJR architectures into their fundamental add compare select (ACS) operations. The paper demonstrates that their ACS unit employs an order of magnitude fewer gates than recent LUT-Log-BCJR architectures, facilitating a 71% reduction in energy consumption. Compared to state-of-the-art maximum logarithmic Bahl-Cocke-Jelinek-Raviv implementations, the approach provides a 10% reduction in overall energy consumption at ranges above 58 meters.
