The chip is part of a highly integrated modem core created specifically for a family of V.32-based products. It incorporates all of the necessary analog/digital conversion, filtering, and gain control functions. Also included is an adaptive analog echo canceler designed to enhance system performance and reduce circuit complexity in other areas of the chip

A special-purpose video signal processing (picture-in-picture processing) CMOS LSI with a 4-K gate digital section and on-chip video analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters has been realized. This mixed analog/digital system-on-chip VLSI (5.98 mm×6.86 mm) is designed using mixed-mode simulation and testing architecture and a noise suppression scheme, and is fabricated in a 2-μm CMOS process. The mixed analog/digital integration is a very attractive LSI feature for video system applications and satisfies future needs of system-on-chip VLSIs

A coprocessor supporting a variety of placement and floorplanning algorithms is described. Without special hardware, the CPU time used by placement algorithms for net length computations can reach up to about 50% of the total run time. The proposed coprocessor architecture has special provisions for efficient net length computation which also allow concurrent execution with the main CPU. A prototype chip has been manufactured. The estimated speedup factor is about 40 for wire-length calculations. The chip can easily be integrated into current computer systems and usually requires only minimal changes to existing placement programs

The PIRAMID silicon compiler, which incorporates architecture synthesis, module generation, and floorplanning tools, is described. Design efficiency is evaluated by the design of an error corrector for a compact-disk digital audio system. A syndrome generator chip was found functionally correct and showed acceptable performance. The silicon compilation method has proved to be sufficiently mature to approach industrial constraints. Using a complete silicon compilation design system like PIRAMID, a system designer can iterate many different architecture solutions within a man-week. A flexible module library and gridless layout strategy give area efficient solutions

A 30-ns (600-MOPS) image processor is described. The 200 K-transistor chip has been fabricated in a 1.2-μm CMOS. A reconfigurable pipeline architecture with an array of nine multiplier/accumulators (MAC) is implemented by interchanging its pipelined data paths. This allows it to perform both matrix products and convolutions, systolically, for the discrete cosine transform (DCT) and transversal filters at HDTV rate. 512 by 512-pixel image data can be computed in less than 7.9 ms with sufficient resolution

The architecture of an N-×M-bit, pipelined, datapath multiplier compiler. The architecture allows the total delay through the multiplier to be broken into the individual delays through each column of the array. The algorithm that determines where pipeline stage columns should be inserted is efficient because it uses a simple model for the column delays. Since pipeline stages are inserted only where necessary, the compiler can produce an optimized multiplier that can be easily integrated into a fully pipelined system. Set-up and output delay times can also be used by the compiler to allow the designer to integrate the multiplier into a fully pipelined datapath
