Multi-clock systems are quite used in nowadays designs. What this paper propose is a way to convert Simulink models into system based on different synchronization assumptions, i.e., synchronous and asynchronous, and to provide a way to allow communications between these two domains.

Component noise is becoming more of an issue as device sizes reduce. Using a 45nm CMOS process we evaluate a method to correlate noise in operational amplifiers with transistor noise at low-frequencies. This reduces test time, and provides an alternative method to characterize and model 1/f noise of individual devices.

Experimental measurements of the isolation provided by N and P-type rings, and triple-well structures implemented in 0.35 μm and 0.18 μm technologies are presented. The results obtained are compared to previous experimental works on isolation, and the conditions that affect the efficacy of the isolation techniques are discussed, as well as their dependence with frequency.

This paper presents an efficient and reconfigurable co-processor to calculate Mahalanobis distance, which is the most computation-intensive part in the GMM (Gaussian Mixture Models)-based classifier. The Mahalanobis distance's calculation is divided into three parts (vector-vector subtraction, matrix-vector multiplication, and vector-vector multiplication) and these three parts can operate in a parallel way. The proposed architecture was implemented in Xilinx FPGA XC5VLX110T. Tested with a 358-state 3-mixture 39-feature 800-word HMM, co-processor operates at 35MHz to meet real-time requirement of speech recognition.

A 5.4GHz multiple-pass ring voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) based phase-locked loop (PLL) is described. For the sake of active devices' sensitivity to process and temperature regarding ring oscillators, an effective automatic frequency calibration scheme is proposed. A new process-independent differential to single (DTOS) is used to adjust control voltage range and loop gain. The chip is implemented in 0.18-um CMOS process and achieves phase noise of −100dBc/Hz@1MHz and a 40% tuning range.

The continuous increase in size, complexity, and heterogeneity of embedded system design has introduced new challenges in their modeling and implementation. Multi-Processor Systems-on-Chip (MPSoC) design requires high speed models for early verification and performance evaluation. As a result, electronic system level (ESL) modeling has moved up in abstraction from cycle accurate RTL to timed and untimed transaction-level models (TLMs). However, the open question is how to get from a high level system description to a hardware/software implementation? The goal of this tutorial is to answer such questions and to provide system designers and managers with new insight into ESL modeling concepts and synthesis techniques for MPSoCs. In this tutorial, we will cover the key concepts and state of the art tools for MPSoC design. We will discuss TLM semantics for automatic model generation, methods for automatic design space exploration, and hardware/software synthesis. This tutorial is targeted towards embedded software and hardware developers, engineers who use or are interested in using ESL design tools, managers of system designers, and verification engineers.

In this paper, we discuss probabilistic simulation techniques used to estimate dynamic power and especially glitch power. Major attention is paid to the problem of modeling inertial delay for using these techniques to estimate switching density at gate level. The inertial delay has a great impact on the glitch power due to filtering effects and is almost impossible to be modeled completely. We propose an approximation algorithm to achieve better accuracy compared to existing approaches. Examples show up to 60% improvement using our solution.

In this paper we propose an adaptive technique to reduce power consumption of Multiprocessor Systems-on-Chip. The method, based on Game Theory, optimizes the frequencies of local processors while fulfilling applicative real-time constraints. Contrary to other approaches, our solution is compatible with reconfigurable Systems-on-Chip. The obtained power consumption gains on a telecommunication test-case are between 10% and 25%, while the reaction time to temporal variations due to application reconfiguration is less than 25μs.
