Due to the great evolution of LCD panel technology, the memory bandwidth of display media system is significantly increased. Its impact on system cost, EMI of transmission interface, and memory bandwidth almost dominates the performance of entire display media system. To eliminate this effect, a high-speed lossless embedded compression algorithm with pipelining and parallel VLSI architecture is proposed. With associated geometric-based probability model (AGPM), the compact coding flow is constructed by geometric-based binary code and content-adaptive Golomb-Rice code to achieve high-speed capability. The entire codec is implemented by TSMC 0.18-mum 1P6M CMOS technology with Artisan cell library. The processing capability of two-level parallelism achieves Full-HD 1080p@60 Hz with RGB components, and the four-level parallelism can further support 120 Hz double frame rate (DFR) technique for high-end LCD applications.
由于液晶面板技术的巨大发展,显示媒体系统的存储带宽显著增加。它对系统成本、传输接口EMI和存储带宽的影响几乎主导了整个显示媒体系统的性能。为了消除这种影响,提出了一种基于流水线和并行VLSI架构的高速无损嵌入式压缩算法。结合相关的基于几何的概率模型(AGPM),采用基于几何的二进制码和内容自适应的Golomb-Rice码构建紧凑的编码流,实现高速编码能力。整个编解码器采用台积电0.18 μ m 1P6M CMOS技术和Artisan单元库实现。两级并行的处理能力在RGB组件下实现全高清1080p@60 Hz,四级并行可以进一步支持高端LCD应用的120 Hz双帧速率(DFR)技术。

A 50 Mbps, 2.24 mm2 double-binary turbo double decoder is designed and implemented in 0.13 mum CMOS process for the WiMAX standard. To reduce the large extrinsic memory needed in double-binary turbo decoding, the proposed decoder exchanges the bit-level extrinsic information values rather than the traditional symbol-level extrinsic information values, which is achieved by deriving two simple conversions. The proposed turbo decoder, with a low-complexity hardware interleaver generating interleaved addresses for two data flows simultaneously, provides an efficient stopping criterion for double-binary turbo decoding using bit-level extrinsic information as well as huge memory size reduction of 20.6%.

A 8 GByte/s single-ended parallel transceiver is implemented in a 0.18 mum standard CMOS with a current-balanced pseudo-differential signaling for high-speed memory interface. With a segmented group-inversion coding, 16-bit data is encoded to 20 pins for dramatic reduction of simultaneous switching noise which has been a bottleneck in high-speed parallel links. The proposed pseudo-differential signaling achieves a power-efficient current-mode parallel termination with a reduction of driving current of about 40-percent. For the termination, virtual voltage sources are self-generated by tracking the center of eye opening. The transceiver shows a BER of less than 10-12 at 4 Gb/s/pin.

In this paper, a micropower interface IC for a capacitive 3-axis micro-accelerometer implemented in a 0.25-mum CMOS process is presented. The fully-integrated sensor interface consists of a DeltaSigma sensor front-end that converts the acceleration signal into the digital domain, a decimator, a frequency reference, a clock generator for the front-end, a voltage and current reference, the required reference buffers, and low-dropout regulators (LDOs) needed for system-on-chip power management. The interface IC provides operating modes for 1 and 25 Hz signal bandwidths. The chip with a 1.72 mm2 active area draws 21.2 muA in 1 Hz mode, and 97.6 muA in 25 Hz mode, from a 1.2-2.75 V supply. In 1 Hz mode with a plusmn2 -g capacitive 3-axis accelerometer, the measured noise floors in the x-, y-, and z-directions are 1080, 1165 and 930 mug/radicHz, respectively.

A wideband CMOS variable gain low noise amplifier (VGLNA) used for TV tuner is presented. A single-to-differential (S2D) circuit other than an off-chip balun is applied for high gain mode and a resistive attenuator is for five steps (6 dB per step) attenuation in low gain mode. The performance of S2D, especially the noise factor is analyzed. The chip is implemented in a 0.18-mum 1P6M mixed-signal CMOS process. Measurements show that in the 50-860 MHz frequency range, the VGLNA achieves 15 dB maximum gain, 31 dB variable gain range, a minimum 3.8 dB noise figure and 2.6 dBm 11P3 at 15 dB gain while consumes 5.7 mA from a 1.8 V supply.

A transceiver for a memory controller operating at 16 Gb/s per link is implemented in 65 nm CMOS process. Timing calibration, equalization and diagnostic circuits for both memory read and write are on the controller to optimize the overall system performance and cost. A 5-tap TX FIR and a continuous time RX equalizer with active inductor loads are employed. The transceiver also includes a diagnostic circuit which can add a programmable DC differential voltage offset and produce actual eye diagrams for both write and read links. It is demonstrated that each link can operate at 16 Gb/s with a timing margin of 0.19 UI at a BER of 10-12.

An on-chip digital Ids measurement method is proposed in this report. In the proposed method, Ids is digitally derived from the two values measured by three ring oscillators with PN balanced, N-rich, and P-rich inverters. The first value is the frequency of the PN balanced inverter ring. The second value is the frequency difference between the N-rich and the P-rich inverter rings. The post-digital processing derives NMOS Ids (Idn) and PMOS Ids (Idp) separately. The monitor circuit was implemented by 65 nm CMOS technology. The mismatch error between the first Ids calculated from measured frequencies, and the second Ids directly measured for reference, was analyzed. The standard deviations of the mismatch error in Idn and Idp are 1.64% and 1.09%, respectively. The margin of 3sigma is within 5% which is our target tolerance for a practical application.

In this paper, an efficient solution of MIMO FFT/IFFT processor for IEEE 802.16 WMAN is presented. By applying the proposed mixed-radix dataflow scheduling (MRDS) technique, the effective hardware utilization can be raised to 100%. Therefore, a single butterfly unit within each pipeline stage is sufficient to deal with the two data sequences, and the hardware complexity is significantly reduced. The proposed FFT/IFFT processor has been emulated on the FPGA board. The signal-to-quantization noise ratio (SQNR) is over 44 dB for QPSK and 16/64-QAM signals. Furthermore, a test chip has been designed using standard 0.18-mum CMOS technology with a core area of 887 times 842 mum2. According to the post-layout simulation results, the design consumes 46 mW at 64 MHz operating frequency, which meets the maximum throughput requirements of IEEE 802.16 WMAN.

This paper proposes a dual-section average (DSA) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to achieve a closed-loop digital pulse width modulation (DPWM) DC-DC converter with performance compatible to that by the analog PWM converter. For a 2.4 V input voltage, a regulated output voltage of 1.2 V can provide output current of 600 mA without any off-chip compensators. Besides, the output ripple can be reduced to about 8 mVp-p by theoretical result. The test chip was fabricated in 0.35 mum CMOS technology. Owing to the parasitic resistance, the output ripple of the experimental result is within 8 mVp-p. Furthermore, the transient recovery time is within 50 mus when load current changes from 120 mA to 600 mA, or vice versa.
