Recently, electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radiated emission have become a major problem for high speed circuit and package designers, Most of them are due to power and ground fluctuation. Decoupling capacitors have been mostly used to reduce the power/ground bounce of high-speed digital systems and boards. In this paper, we present a more powerful circuit model for power and ground bounce. This circuit reduces the power and ground bounce by the way of suppressing voltage increase through the resistance which varies with power fluctuation. We present numerical analysis and simulation data by comparing decoupling capacitors.

Cost and reliability are major considerations in automobile industrial products. These serve as the key driving forces to design low-cost digital-controlled accelerometer interfaces. This paper proposes a cost-effective capacitive accelerometer interface ASIC that adopts ASM methodology to implement an application-specific digital controller for automobile applications. The ASM approach has the advantages over other digital techniques in terms of self-documentation and easy of design. In addition, a new way of independent self-testing of the capacitive accelerometer that is based on inherent slow mechanical response time of the acceleration sensor is presented.

For efficient system-on-chip (SOC) design, we need an IP DB (intellectual property database) where everyone can register IP and access IP they want. To quickly collect and register IP from companies and universities, we have to give some benefits to the IP providers while minimizing the IP standard they must observe. To provide IP suitable for IP users, we have to have an IP DB which contains rated IP and has sufficient and convenient functions such as IP search, compare and download. Finally, to satisfy the various requirements of both IP providers and IP users, we have to have many business models and license models working in reality. We present KETI's works to solve these problems, focusing on the development and management of an IP DB.

This paper proposes a new SDM (sigma delta modulator) architecture to improve conversion rates and SNR (signal-to noise ratio). The characteristic of the proposed SDM employs an adaptive clocking architecture which includes the first integrator with a 1 MHz clock and the second/third integrator with a 4 MHz clock. The SDM circuit with a 0.65 um CMOS process is simulated by both MATLAB and HSPICE. The simulation results illustrate that SNRs of the proposed SDM are increased by 2 dB @internal 1 bit ADC/DAC and 7 dB @3 bit and 5 bit compared with the conventional SDM.

We propose a scheduling algorithm for the pipelined data path with resource constraint. The algorithm first checks the possibility of scheduling in the case of being assigned to the earliest step or to the latest step among the assignable control steps of all operations. If it is impossible to assign an operation to those steps due to resource constraint violation, the algorithm does away with those steps, that is, reduces the mobility of the operation. The scheduling algorithm is iterated until final schedule is obtained. If the final schedule is not obtained, even though there is no operation to reduce a mobility, we select a proper operation to reduce the mobility using the current scheduling state that is represented by parameters. A 16 point FIR filter and 5th order elliptic wavefilter are used to illustrate the scheduling algorithm.

This paper proposes a low-overhead MSB-controlled inversion coding technique to reduce the transition activity in a matrix transposer a commonly used component in 2-dimensional discrete cosine transform (DCT) and inverse DCT (IDCT) applications. A family of designs is identified in which this technique is applied to different bit slices of the matrix data and the optimal design within the family is determined using transition activity analysis driven by real image sequences. Our results suggest that the optimal design using MSB-controlled inversion coding yields power savings of 33% for DCT data and 46% for IDCT data. These results are remarkable since existing bus-invert coding techniques have high overheads and are only effective for system-level high-capacitive buses.

In this paper, a CMOS relaxation oscillator is presented. The proposed oscillator has only one tail current source unlike the emitter coupled multivibrator. All the tail current flows through the timing capacitor and thus the charging slope of the timing capacitor is doubled. This enhances the operating speed without increasing the power consumption. The oscillator is fabricated in a standard 0.8 /spl mu/m CMOS process. The maximum operating frequency is 923 MHz at a 3.3 V single supply, while the oscillator draws 6 mA.

This paper presents an approach to establish and simulate a DSP core by using a cycle-based simulator written in C language. The simulator is written with information of a target DSP core. Instructions are analyzed in order to determine which blocks are used. Then, appropriate control signals are applied to the blocks. The implemented simulator can give the cycle-based information such as changes of control signals and register flags that are not given by instruction-based simulators. After modeling and validating the simulator it is used to verify the HDL model of target DSP core and to enhance its performance as well as to develop applications for the core.
