This paper describes a low-voltage and low-power channel selection analog front end with continuous-time low pass filters and highly linear programmable-gain amplifier (PGA). The filters were realized as balanced Gm-C biquadratic filters to achieve low current consumption. High linearity and constant wide bandwidth are achieved by using a new transconductance (Gm) cell. The PGA has a voltage gain varying from 0 to 65dB, while maintaining a constant bandwidth. A filter tuning circuit that requires an accurate time base but no external components is presented. With a 1-Vrms differential input and output, the filter achieves -85dB THD and a 78dB signal-to-noise ratio. Both the filter and PGA were implemented in a 0.18mum 1P6M n-well CMOS process. They consume 3.2mW from a 1.8V power supply and occupy an area of 0.19mm2

This paper describes power reduction techniques in high-speed inter-chip data communication with inductive coupled wireless interface for 3D-stacked SiP. NRZ signaling where signal is not transmitted when data holds reduces power dissipation in proportion to switching activity. A low-power single-end transmitter is presented for 55% transmitter's power reduction. Depending on communication distance, transmit power is controlled for both power and crosstalk reduction. 195Gb/s, 1.2W high-speed and low-power interface with these techniques has been demonstrated in 0.25mum CMOS

Model checking can exhaustively verify a set of specified properties on a given implementation. However, it is very hard to determine whether sufficient properties have been specified or not. In this paper, we propose a transition traversal coverage method for a subset of CTL to evaluate the completeness of properties. With this method, we can detect the transitions which are not verified by any property. It is more comprehensive and accurate than state-based coverage metric. We avoid generating the perturbed implementation by directly traversing transitions based on the semantics of CTL formulas. Experimental results show that the proposed method can discover subtle coverage holes with low computation cost.

A VLSI architecture for motion estimation/compensation interpolation in H.264/AVC is presented in this paper. Compared with previous work, this architecture has following characteristics: First, it supports all block modes and fractional samples adopted in H.264/AVC standard. Second, no extra initiation and finalization time is required, which enhances the system performance. Third, a pipelined finite impulse filter (FIR) is used to replace the traditional adder tree, which increases the system clock frequency. Because this design applies full pipelined architecture, it can generate one half sample in every cycle and eight quarter samples in every nine cycles with little pipeline latency. In fact, this architecture with minor revision could be adopted in MPEG-4 and other video coding standards. The design is implemented with TSMC 0.18/spl mu/m CMOS technology. The core area is 0.577/spl times/0.661mm/sup 2/ and frequency is 274MHz in typical condition (1.8V, 25/spl deg/C).

This paper describes a low-power write scheme by adopting charge sharing technique. By reducing the bit lines voltage swing, the bit lines dynamic power is reduced. The memory cell's static noise margin (SNM) is discussed to prove it is a feasible scheme. Simulation results show compare to conventional SRAM, in write cycle this SRAM saves more than 20% dynamic power

This paper presents a more area-effective method to construct self-dual circuits. The experimental results based on ISCAS85 benchmark circuits show that the proposed method can considerably decrease hardware complexity on average. If the circuit has few primary input and primary output lines, the proposed method is superior when the circuit scale becomes larger.

The paper presents a novel lower power polyphase transformable stage nonrecursive comb (PTSNC) filter architecture considering the area and power consumption, which is very suitable for high-order oversampled sigma delta A/D converters. The proposed decimation filter has 1/3 less hardware and power compared to conventional non-recursive decimation filters when the filter was implemented using 0.6-mum CMOS standard when the circuit work clock was 100MHz

This paper describes top-down implementation of Rijndael, a new advanced encryption standard (AES), cipher for both encryption and decryption. Pipelined architecture was used to maximize the performance. The design started in the untimed functional level description in C. It was refined to behavioral-level design and finally to RTL design with SystemC. To overcome simulation performance degradation with RTL description, we adopted FPGA-based simulation accelerator in the final stage. To reuse the original test vectors, we introduced proxy module for interconnecting simulation environment with acceleration environment. This hides the presence of simulation accelerator from simulator and makes it possible to reuse test vectors of RTL simulation when simulation accelerator is present

A new structure of low-noise CMOS differential amplifier has been presented in this paper. The structure is mainly based on a load of common-gate MOSFETs with resistances in series at sources (CG-R load), which does not increase complication of the circuit. This structure decreases 1/f noise of the load by a (1 + g/sub m2/R) /sup 2/ coefficient, while keeps the voltage gain high. The simulation result for the given example reveals an average reduction of 90% for load noise at low frequencies, compared with current-mirror load (CM load).

An improved approach to design the approximate squaring function is presented in this paper. It is implemented through a simple combinational logic circuit with fewer transistors. In addition, the maximum relative error (MRE) and average relative error (ARE) of squaring approximation are both improved compared with the previous methods. The algorithm is implemented by a VLSI design of 7-bit approximate squaring function.
