This paper presents a low-voltage low-power IF 455 kHz signal processor that contains a three-stage limiting amplifier and an FM/FSK demodulator. The limiting amplifier uses an on-chip feedforward offset cancellation circuit. The FM/FSK demodulator employs a quadrature detector that is composed of an on-chip phase detector and an external tank phase shifter. The demodulation constant is 20 mV/kHz with maximum /spl plusmn/10 kHz frequency deviation. The IF signal processor that consumes 2.3 mW from a single 2-V power supply demonstrates a high sensitivity of -72 dBm. It occupies an active area of 0.2 mm/sup 2/ using 0.6 /spl mu/m digital CMOS technology.

The LC-oscillator has a simple automatic swing control circuit for providing constant output power to mixer and prescaler. Total circuit consists of oscillator core, buffer, bandgap reference and drive amp. The oscillator core consumes 1.3 mA. A frequency tuning range is about 360 MHz. The output power of the LC-oscillator varies within 1.1 dBm. This chip is implemented in 60 GHz SiGe BiCMOS process by ST Microelectronics. Total power consumption is 31.5 mW at a 2.7 V single power supply.

This paper describes a 10-bit, 10-Msamples/s CMOS folding and interpolating analog-to-digital converter (F&I ADC). A new cascading architecture is proposed to reduce the number of comparators and power consumption, and to increase input signal bandwidth. To reduce the nonlinear errors in the sample-and-holder (S/H), a charge-pump circuit is used. By using a wide range error correction scheme, the relaxed design of comparators is possible. The ADC was designed using a 0.25 /spl mu/m 1-poly 5-metal CMOS process. It consumes 62 mW at 40 Msamples/s. The INL/DNL is less than 0.5 LSB/0.4 LSB by MATLAB presimulation.

To process enormous 3D data, we have designed a VLIW (Very Long Instruction Word) processor called FLOVA (Floating-Point VLIW Architecture) exploiting the ILP (Instruction-Level Parallelism) in 3D programs. This paper presents FGA (FLOVA Geometry Accelerator) that is the 3D graphics system and it almost removes the time required to process in the geometry stage. We have developed the 3D graphics library, FGA-GL, to supports the FGA system. The deferred primitive rendering algorithm of FGA-GL enables the geometry processing of the primitive data to be done concurrently with the host job such as primitive data management or game play. FGA improves the average performance of 3D graphics system by 2.5-3.0.

An intelligent method of repair analysis that can repair a RAM block with 4 spare rows and 4 spare columns is implemented with CAM that has the function of datamatch, count-sub-entry, search-empty-entry. The key idea of this algorithm is on-the-fly repair analysis by rearrangement of the CAM array contents and repair analysis processing by one row or one column unit with a dual error buffer.

Our method of calculating crosstalk delay degradation for timing analysis provides the quantitative degradation even when the signal arrival times change dynamically depending on the input patterns and there are multiple aggressors for one victim. We have developed a means of library building that makes it possible to accelerate the calculation speed by using characteristic-point-based representation for the delay degradation table. We have also determined effective parameters for representing typical conditions in the library.

In this paper, an efficient pulse shaping filter architecture for SSB/BPSK-DS/CDMA is proposed. The filter satisfies the specifications in 1S-95. The proposed architecture is based on polyphase decomposition and look-up table method. By exploiting the linear phase property of the decomposed filter coefficients, the chip area required for the look-up table can be reduced by half compared with the conventional methods. By Synopsys simulations, it is shown that the use of the proposed method can result in reduction in the number of gates by 43%.

The cache memory system for CalmRISC32 embedded processor is described in this paper. A dual data cache system structure called a cooperative cache that takes advantage of design flexibilities of a dual cache structure is used as the cache memory system for CalmRISC32 to improve performance and reduce power consumption. The cooperative cache system is applied to both data cache and instruction cache. This paper describes the structure and operational model of the cache memory system for CalmRISC32. The implementation of the cache memory system for CalmRISC32 is also presented.

A 2 V clock synchronizer chip using digital delay-locked loop is presented. It is targeted to provide synchronous clock distribution in high-speed digital systems. A simple structure with a counter-based delay line is used for compensating the skew caused by process, voltage, temperature and length. A stability criterion is also obtained. Experimental results have demonstrated its advantages like good stability, wide tuning range and low power consumption.

In this paper, we propose a digital image interpolation method that improves the reconstruction of the edge component by selectively transposing the sub windows of the pseudomedian filter that shows relatively better performance than others. In order to compare the picture quality of the proposed method with that of the conventional methods, computer simulation has been executed by checking the PSNR, which is better than the others from the point of view of the edge and local characteristics of the image. When we judge the images with our eyes, the simulation results showed that the proposed method is better than the others from the point of view of the edge and local characteristics of the image.
