This paper describes a VLIW (very long instruction word) geometry processor called FLOVA (FLOating-Point VLIW Architecture) which was developed to accelerate the geometry stage of 3D graphics. FLOVA executes four instructions in one cycle and supports 136 instructions including 35 SIMD (single instruction multiple data) instructions to accelerate the geometry stage. Special features to accelerate transformation and lighting operations in 3D graphics geometry stage are described. FLOVA can calculate the power value of two floating-point numbers in only four clock cycles with a negligible loss of accuracy, compared to over 150 clock cycles in other processors.

This paper presents an integrated 8-VSB receiver IC which demodulates and decodes the ATSC-compliant terrestrial RF transmission signal. The design has been accomplished in an ASIC-vendor independent way using only HDL description and synthesis tools. It can receive any IF signal of 5.38 MHz or 44 MHz. The chip has been implemented with equivalent 300 k gates comprising 200 k logic parts and 100 k gate-equivalent memory parts in an area of 8.0/spl times/7.7 mm/sup 2/. The chip is operative at 50 MHz and consumes approximately 3.2 W under 5 volts in a commercial operating condition.

The VLSI industry is accelerating towards the end of scaling (bulk) CMOS. Near its scaling limit, a CMOS transistor could have a channel length of about 25 nm, a switching speed about three times as fast as a device of 100-nm channel length, and an f/sub T/ of about 250 GHz. However realization of this CMOS technology is far from certain due to the many technical difficulties that must be overcome. In the next few years, while the application of CMOS to RF will grow rapidly, performance of digital CMOS will saturate. While development towards 25-nm channel length will continue, CMOS development will also be focused on opportunities beyond scaling the bulk device.

A versatile low-power half-duplex FSK transceiver for power line communication network applications is presented. The proposed power-line modem (PLM) satisfies the requirement of several protocols for both power-line communications and home automation applications. The device operation is fully controlled and programmed through an internal 24 bit register. It operates from a single 9 V supply (5 V is possible if no power delivery is required). During transmission, the PLM is able to deliver 1 W on 16 /spl Omega/, while during reception if dissipates only 3.5 mA. The PLM is realized in a 0.6 /spl mu/m BCD technology.

In this paper, the design of an all-digital quadrature up and down converter with high accuracy and flexible IF settings is presented. The signal up/downconversion is achieved by interpolation/decimation combined with a programmable anti-alias filter preserving the selected frequency band during the sample rate conversion. This way a high-speed solution with low-power consumption is achieved. We used a novel technique to implement flexible IF settings. The resulting structure is capable of handling signals up to 160 MSPS and is suitable for coaxial access network modem applications.

The power dissipation associated with driving data buses can be significant, especially considering the increasing component of inter-wire capacitance. Previous work on bus encoding has focused on minimizing transitions to reduce power dissipation. In this paper, it is shown that transition reduction is not necessarily the best approach for reducing power when the effects of inter-wire capacitance are considered. An electrical model for data buses designed with submicron technologies is presented and a family of coding techniques is proposed that can reduce the average power consumption of the bus by 40%.

A discrete-time analog echo canceller is described that reduces the echo in the front end of Gigabit Ethernet twisted-pair interfaces. Echo cancellation in the analog domain by means of four taps reduces the complexity of the digital echo canceller and crosstalk cancellers by 50 taps. Designed in a 0.4 /spl mu/m CMOS technology, the circuit employs an LMS algorithm to adapt to the cable length and impedance discontinuities, providing an echo suppression of 10 dB. The design operates at 125 MHz while consuming 43 mW from a 3 V supply.
