This paper presents efficient memory reuse and sub-pixel interpolation algorithms for ME (motion estimation)/MC (motion compensation) of H.264/AVC. ME is a computationally intensive task and its number of memory accesses is quite high. Moreover, sub-pixel interpolation requires many additions and multiplications. The proposed memory reuse algorithm utilizes the position similarity of the MVp (motion vector prediction) among neighboring Sub-MBs (macro blocks). It can reduce a large number of memory accesses and can save power consumption by sharing SR (search range) of the current block In addition, simplifying weights of sub-pixel interpolation can eliminate multiplications. Therefore, the proposed memory reuse and sub-pixel interpolation algorithms can be employed for low power video compression. In addition, the proposed ME accelerator uses the proposed algorithms. Performance comparisons show a significant improvement compared with existing ME accelerators.

Novel piezoresistive microsensors for automotive tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) are designed, fabricated and tested. 30 mum thick silicon diaphragms (from 370 mum times 370 mum to 970 mum times 970 mum) are adopted, thicker than that of the conventional piezoresistive pressure sensor, which extends the high stress distribution in the bulk silicon. Novel meander shape piezoresistors are designed, parts of which are fabricated on the high stress bulk silicon to obtain high linearity and sensitivity. Different diaphragm areas, piezoresistive shapes and placing methods on the microsensor performances are simulated, measured and analyzed. The whole fabrication is low-cost and compatible with standard IC process, which tolerates large process variations. Good microsensor precision (0.23%/FS) is obtained. The whole work indicates a novel solution of small size, high performance and low cost piezoresistive microsensor for TPMS and many other applications.

A 60GHz injection-locked frequency divider with power-matching technique is designed in 0.13-mum CMOS technology for wide locking range. Compared with shunt-peaking version, the power-matching technique utilized in injection-locked frequency divider improves locking range by 15% based on simulation results. The measurement results show the divider free-running frequency is 30.4 GHz and the total locking range is 6 GHz (10%) at the input power of 3 dBm while consuming 8.8mW from a 1.2 V power supply.

This paper describes the design of a receiver that supports the operation from 1 to 4.25-Gb/s, enabling a single macro to satisfy different protocols. The receiver performs equalization to compensate for interconnect ISI, achieves 10 mV sensitivity at 4.25-Gb/s by using offset corrected amplification, and performs clock-data-recovery with a digital algorithm that controls a recovered clock out of a phase interpolator. The receiver has been validated in 90 nm CMOS with 45 mW at 1.1 V supply voltage and demonstrated to achieve link over 30-meter AGW24 cable at 3.125 Gb/s with BER<10-5.

The paper proposes a high-speed target tracking CMOS image sensor. The target tracking CMOS image sensor consists of an image sensor array, row-parallel processors, a controller and a SRAM. It implements two novel concise algorithms that composed of efficient operations: such as collision detection, separation detection and position extraction. A 64 times 64 pixel array high-speed target tracking CMOS image sensor chip was implemented in using 0.35 mum 2P4M CMOS process. An N-well/P-sub SAB diode without salicide is used as photodiode in the image sensor. The chip size is 4.5 mm times 2.5 mm. The measured results demonstrated that the chip can perform target tracking at the rate of 1000 fps with more functionality and less area than the reported digital chips. The chip power consumption is 30 mW at the main clock of 20 MHz.

The adopted algorithm for this operation is inherently free from fixed pattern noise generation which often resists the realization of mass production level wide dynamic range image sensors.

This paper presents a versatile multimedia functional unit (VMFU) which can compute six arithmetic operations, i.e. addition, subtraction, multiplication, MAC, interpolation, and SAD with different configurations. The VMFU is constructed on the basis of a row-based modified Booth encoding multiplier which consumes the lowest power among others according to our transistor-level simulations. Besides, we apply the spurious power suppression technique (SPST) to the proposed VMFU to decrease the wasted dynamic power dissipation. From the transistor-level simulations, the proposed VMFU dissipates 0.0142 mW/MHz under a 0.18 mum/1.8V CMOS technology. Adopting the SPST can reduce 24% power consumption with only a 15% area overhead.
