In a sampled system, a signal that is commonly present on chip that is particularly troublesome if coupled into the reference is a clock at frequency fs/2, where fs is the high-frequency sampling rate. The presence of a signal at frequency fs/2 on the reference will cause spectral components in the signal near fs/2 to mix down into the baseband. Especially in /spl Sigma/-/spl Delta/ modulator the output bit stream will contain large amounts of quantization noise at frequencies around fs/2 and the intermodulation should be minimized to the highest degree to avoid baseband destruction. In this paper a systematic way where a modulator transfer function is modified to reduce intermodulation effect is proposed. Simulations show the effectiveness of the method.

A new CMOS Double-Upconverter (DUC) with half-LO for a DTV (Digital TV) tuner is proposed. It converts a wide-band input video RF signal spanning from 48 MHz to 810 MHz to an IF of 932 MHz with half local oscillator frequencies from 490 MHz to 871 MHz. The proposed architecture reduces the local oscillator frequency to half, which enables the integration on a single chip and reduces the overall power consumption. It also makes the image component low with its architectural property devised on the basis of the Weaver architecture. It is implemented with 0.8 /spl mu/m CMOS technology modified for RF applications.

A 32 bit wave pipelined adder circuitry using static CMOS plus data aligning logic is presented. The self-timed wave pipelining algorithm was implemented in the circuit design. The data aligning logic in the algorithm consisted of the double edge triggered flip-flop detecting the slowest arrived signal, the aligning signal generator and latches. Using the algorithm, the delay variation of the signals at the output of the 32 bit adder could be controlled under 130 ps rather than 766 ps in a conventional adder. The circuit operates at a data rate of 800 M/bps using 0.25 /spl mu/m CMOS technology with a 2.5 V supply voltage.

Static-based verification methodologies are employed to minimize iterative simulations due to functional and timing problems after BIST integration into an ASIC. Formal equivalence checking is used to verify if BIST signals are correctly integrated into an ASIC. Static Timing Analysis (STA) is used to verify BIST timing. Two ASICs, implemented using 0.25 /spl mu/m technology, are used to apply static-based verification methodologies. Our experimental results show that static-based verification achieves significant verification speedup compared to simulation. This allows fast and early detection of function and timing errors that may be introduced during BIST integration:.

In system-on-a-chip design, interfacing of Intellectual Property (IP) blocks is one of the most important issues. Since most IPs are provided by different vendors, they have different interface schemes and different operating frequencies. In this paper, we propose a new interface synthesis method that enables one not only to handle the interface between IPs with different operating frequencies but also to minimize the hardware resource required for the interface. We have demonstrated the proposed algorithm by applying it to a real design example, MP3 decoder, and verified the IIS-to-PCI protocol converter on a real hardware system.

A new Delay Locked Loop (DLL) using a Digital-to-Analog Converter with the Parallel Variable Resister (PVR-DAC) has been developed. The PVR-DAC successfully manages the current controlled-delay element (CCDE) and achieves a fine time-based resolution. The DLL adopting PVR-DAC has been simulated. It realizes a time-based resolution of 18 ps, an operation frequency range of 143 MHz through 333 MHz, with the maximum power consumption of 20 mW at 1.5 V, and also achieves the small circuit area of 0.5 mm/sup 2/.

Architecting today's embedded processor core faces several important design challenges: low power, high performance, and system-on-a-chip considerations. Moreover, support for high-level language constructs and operating systems becomes increasingly critical for acceptance to various applications. CalmRISC/sup TM/-32 effectively meets these challenges by incorporating a carefully designed instruction set, an energy-efficient pipeline design, debugging support with trace mode/CalmBreaker/sup TM/ (an in-circuit debugger), and a generic, yet efficient coprocessor interface. Using a 0.25 /spl mu/m static CMOS standard cell library and compiled datapath cells, the first implementation of CalmRISC/sup TM/-32 operates at 130 MHz (under worst conditions) and consumes 150 /spl mu/A/MHz at 2.5 V. This paper presents a brief description of the instruction set, the overall microarchitecture, and the coprocessor interface of CalmRISC/sup TM/-32.

This paper presents low cost and high code density embedded 16 bit microprocessor. The instruction set is suitable for C compiler and has good code density. It has 7 general purpose resisters and 16-bit fixed length instruction set which has a short length offset and small immediate operand. A 16-bit offset and immediate operand could be extended by using extension register and extension flag. It's implemented with 4200 gates so that it can be substituted for an 8-bit microprocessor.
