Digital compression of audio signals has become increasingly more important with the advent of fast and inexpensive microprocessors and digital signal processors. Several compression schemes were developed and well established. Most of them adopt MDCT/IMDCT. This paper presents a new MDCT IP core generator. The software tool generates several MDCT architectures with adjustable parameters for FPGA-based design

This paper presents the current work that is done in order to simulate analog or mixed-signal tests and then transfer these simulations and their results to the ATE. After having stated the problem, the proposed flow will be reviewed, leading to a more detailed description of the VHDL-AMS simulations, of the STIL-AMS language under definition, as well as to its road map. One of the major decisions taken, a device-centric approach versus a tester-centric approach, will then be explained, before showing some of the actual limitations of the approach. Before concluding, the real case that has been implemented will be described, and some of the debug steps that have been done

Leakage currents are of major concern in nanometer technologies. To address this issue, it is essential to have a good understanding of all leakage contributors, very soon during the new technology development step. This paper presents our methodology to accurately characterize leakage in SRAM cells, while keeping same environment of a product. Process control monitors, containing different structures to measure sub-threshold, gate, gate induced drain and junction leakages, in each SRAM bit-cell transistor, are described. Other structures are used to quantify the impact on leakage of edge effects and strap locations. Presented design and measurement methodology allows a separate characterizing of each leakage contributor; in order to optimize consumption in chips using ATMKL 130nm CMOS technology

In this paper, we proposed a routing model for distributing hot spots within on-chip networks. It takes advantage of both adaptive minimal path and non-minimal path algorithms. To evaluate the efficiency of the model, a simulator developed using C++ is employed to compare the methods. The simulation results show that in realistic traffic models, like first transpose traffic, and in dense traffics the proposed algorithm has lower average delays compared to the previously proposed models

In this paper, an RF power amplifier intended for Class 1 Bluetooth application is designed using 0.35mum CMOS technology. A layout-aware macromodel for the BSIM3v3 MOSFET transistor for RF applications including substrate effect is investigated and used in this design. The model is validated for a 0.35mum CMOS process using a transistor with total width of 90mum and 18 fingers and it shows an excellent agreement with the ft, and S-parameter measurement data up to 6GHz. Effect of pads and bond wires are also taken into consideration during the design process of the PA. After post-layout simulations, the amplifier delivers an output power of 19dBm with 33.7% PAE under 3.3V supply. This amplifier has a power control feature. Its two stage circuit utilizes a cascode configuration in its first stage in order to use its bias pin as a power control input for the amplifier. Using this method, the power control range can be decreased down to 1.4 dBm which satisfies the Bluetooth standard. The chip is fabricated and is currently under testing

Built-in self test (BIST) techniques are widely used in today's complex integrated circuits, since they employ on-chip test pattern generation and response verification. Arithmetic BIST techniques utilize modules that commonly exist in datapath modules (accumulators, counters etc.). In order to perform the test generation and response verification operations. In order to detect sequential faults that occur into current CMOS circuits, two-pattern tests are required. Furthermore, delay testing, commonly used to assure correct temporal circuit operation at clock speed, requires two-pattern tests. In this paper a novel algorithm for the generation of two-pattern tests is presented. The presented algorithm utilizes modules included in datapath circuitry to generate two-pattern tests; its implementation in hardware compares favorably with techniques that have been presented in the open literature

Based on a recent market study of an important number of I2 C devices, all fully compliant with the Philips I2C-bus specification, version 2.1, release January 2000, this paper introduces a detailed I2C-slave VLSI-architecture that incorporates all necessary features required by modern ASK/SoC applications, except high speed mode. The design is a general purpose solution offering viable ways to controlling I2C-bus and highly flexible to suit any particular needs. The purpose of this paper is to provide a full description of an up-to-date I2C-slave VLSI-implementation. All related issues, starting from the elaboration of initial specifications, till the final verifications and synthesis, are comprehensively discussed and justified. This includes all issues from basic architectural operations to final software drivers and application. The whole design code, either for synthesis or verification, is implemented in Verilog 2001 (IEEE 1365.) The synthesis design code is technology independent and was simulated at both RTL and gate level with timing back annotation using ModelSim SE 5.8e and synthesized using both Leonardo Spectrum V2001_1d.45 and Xilinx's XST 6.1i

This paper presents an implementation of a pulse mode multilayer neural network with on chip learning. Taking advantage of the compactness of the multiplierless solutions proposed in the literature, we apply a multiplierless architecture, in which the synapse is made up with a DDFS and the neuron uses a nonlinear adder. A programmable activation function is proposed by means of an adjustable pulse multiplier so that the activation function slope can be adjusted without any added hardware cost. The proposed architecture was tested in a signature recognition system. It shows good learning capability. The corresponding design was implemented into a Virtex II PRO XC2VP7 Xilinx FPGA

Leakage power consumption in nanometric CMOS circuits is growing at exponential rate due to the aggressive scaling trends of channel lengths, gate oxide thickness and doping profiles. In this paper the analysis and characterization of leakage currents and the corresponding leakage power is studied at cell level. A characterization methodology is discussed and applied to inverter, NAND and NOR cells using the Berkeley predictive technology model BPTM for BSIM 4.50 and HSPICE. The simulation results for 65, 45 and 32nm CMOS performed in these cells show the high dependence of leakage power on the circuit state and the increasing impact of gate leakage on the variability of the total leakage of the cell
