We propose an efficient multi-access memory architecture for image applications with multiple interested regions. Conflict-free parallel access of randomly aligned rectangular blocks of data in the interested regions is achieved. Only interested regions in the image are transmitted from main memory to a secondary multi-module memory structure proposed in our work, and overlapped data between different regions are reused without retransfer. The addressing of data is not based on traditional predetermined addressing function, but based on a proposed table structure which maps virtual addresses to physical addresses of secondary memory modules. Synthesis results of our design on FPGA indicate that transfer speedups from 5.5 up to 32.9 in our experiments are achieved when compared with the scheme that accesses main memory directly.

In this paper, a charge-pump based phase-locked loop (CPLL) that can achieve fast locking and tiny deviation is proposed and analyzed. A lock-aid circuit is added to achieve fast locking of the CPLL. Besides, a novel differential charge pump which has good current matching characteristics and a PFD with delay cell has been used in this PLL. The proposed PLL circuit is designed based on the 0.35 um 2P4M CMOS process with 3.3 V/5 V supply voltage. HSPICE simulation shows that the lock time of the proposed CPLL can be reduced by over 72% in comparison to the conventional PLL and its charge pump sink and source current mismatch is only 0.008%.

This paper introduces a method of realizing a monolithic battery management chip for a lithium ion battery pack of multi-cell in series. High precision subtractor amplifiers were employed to extract the voltage information of each battery. With the utilization of the subtractor amplifiers, the whole system was allowed to be implemented in a normal, nonexpensive standard CMOS process with 5 V supply voltage, instead of a costly high-voltage process. A testing chip was implemented by using CSMCpsilas 0.5 mum 5 V N-well CMOS process. The chip was designed for double-cell battery pack and compatible with single-cell application. The testing results showed this chip functioned well in both applications of double-cell and single-cell, and revealed that the present design method would be suitable for the multi-cell battery packs.

A fully integrated dual-band LNA that can cover 2-11 GHz and 3.1-10.6 GHz for WiMAX and UWB receiver is proposed based on a current-reused technique with a simple high-pass input matching network and a resonator. Simulated results show that the proposed LNA has 11.5 to 12.2 dB power gain and 2.47 to 3.97 dB noise figure (NF), while consuming only 7.52 mW dc power with 1 V supply voltage.

This paper presents an analysis of characteristics of multiphase buck converters with coupled inductors. We derive equivalent inductances that provide both low per-phase steady-state ripple current and fast transient response. The characteristics of coupled-inductor circuits - low per-phase ripple current and fast response - were examined and verified by circuit simulation and experiments.

Routing protocol is a key technical issue in wireless sensor networks (WSN), and the appropriate routing scheme can make the energy-constraint sensor node consume as less energy as possible to prolong the network lifetime. The suitable sensor circuits and systems are beneficial to nodes energy savings. In this paper, we propose a protocol called CEERP (Cost-based Energy-Efficient Routing Protocol). Each node finds the appropriate transmission path through calculating and comparing the values of the related cost-functions. Experimental results show that the proposed CEERP outperforms existing methods to maximize network lifetime with less latency.

The sequential-LMS (S-LMS) family of algorithms are designed for partial update adaptive filtering. Like the LMS algorithm, their performance will be severely degraded by impulsive noises. In this paper, we derive the nonlinear least mean M-estimate (LMM) versions of the S-LMS family from robust M-estimation. The resultant algorithms, named the S-LMM family, have the improved performance in impulsive noise environment. Using the Pricepsilas theorem and its extension, the mean and mean square convergence behaviors of the S-LMS and S-LMM families of algorithms are derived both for Gaussian and contaminated Gaussian (CG) additive noises.
