The Elmore base delay calculation method has long been in use, but this method cannot meet accuracy demands of current designs using deep sub-micron processes. On the other hand, SPICE can provide high accuracy, but it is very time consuming. Therefore, a novel, highly accurate and high-speed delay analysis method is proposed: MOR (model order reduction). We applied it in interconnect signal analysis to evaluate its performance

Based on the power-up/power-down control, the paper describes a low quiescent current and reset time adjustable power-on reset (POR) circuit, which is integrated in a regulator. Compared with the conventional RC reset circuit, it can provide more accurate reset pulse at slow power up and twinkling power down. And when the chip works properly, parts of the power-on reset circuit are shut down, then the quiescent current of the POR is reduced by 12muA. In addition, the power-on reset time can be adjusted based on different applications

In this paper we proposed a design of a Java co-processor for a 32-bit RISC system to improve its performance, as the software only Java interpreter is more time-consuming. Our work includes the hardware/software co-design of the Java Card Virtual Machine (JCVM) and the details of its hardware implementation. The JCVM translates the Java bytecodes (JBCs) into the native RISC instructions and then passes them to the RISC core. A 16-byte pre-fetch FIFO and the folding mechanism are applied to further speedup the translation.

Complementary pass-transistor adiabatic logic (CPAL) circuits can be driven by two-phase or four-phase power-clocks. CPAL circuits have more efficient energy transfer and recovery, as the non-adiabatic energy loss of output loads has been completely eliminated using complementary pass-transistor logic for evaluation and transmission gates for energy-recovery. In this paper, the design of adiabatic asynchronous sequential circuits based on the two-phase CPAL is presented. A practical sequential system realized with two-phase CPAL circuits is demonstrated. A two-phase nonoverlap sinusoidal power clock circuit for the two-phase CPAL is also presented

This paper provides an overview on recently developed model generation techniques for SAT-based property checking. To overcome limitations of SAT-based property checking, we suggest to tailor synthesis procedures in the frontend of the property checker towards the verification algorithms used in the backend. This paradigm has been applied to two different design categories. As a first example, for control intensive designs with many interacting state machines, appropriate state encoding can facilitate the representation of state sets. As a second example, for arithmetic datapath verification, we suggest to synthesize an arithmetic bit level description to enable normalization techniques in the backend. We demonstrate the usefulness of our approach by means of industrial test cases.

This paper describes an improved version of the Tenca-Todorov-Koc word based radix-8 Montgomery multiplier. It uses radix-16 for fast without adding any hardware, and adjusting the data-path to get shorter critical path, and requires half of FIFO memory. This design is reconfigurable to accept any input precision as the Tenca-Todorov-Koc's design. An ASIC implementation in 0.25 mum CMOS standard cell technology can perform 2048-bit modular exponentiation in 28ms under 125MHz clock period

8-bit gamma compensated digital data driver was integrated in LCoS silicon backplane. We have applied conventional register ladder D/A converter with 4 points reference voltage for LCoS displaying (VGA). The LCoS microdisplay operating with fields sequential color (FSC) mode has been developed in the Microdisplay lab of Nankai University, and the data driver can realize 256 level gray scales. In this paper, the concept that utilizes cascaded resistor strings delivers a static voltage output were shown in detail.

Design for manufacturability (DFM) is one of the foremost concerns in the semiconductor industry today. This work describes a few of the key issues facing circuit designers and tool developers in the DFM space and points to future areas of research interest. In particular, we show that comprehending and exploiting systematic pattern dependencies can be a powerful knob to improve performance under variability. Furthermore, we describe a cost-driven approach to mask-level correction that points to new areas of research that would allow design rules to vary depending on context and/or instance criticality. This and other opportunities in DFM research are summarized

In the computing system, division is normally programmed as an multiplication operation following with a multiplicative inversion process. It is the most time consuming operation in the computing of elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) for portable applications. This paper introduces a new architecture for hardware implementation of computing division based on the binary extended Euclidean algorithm. With the new architecture, ECC can be implemented with low power consumption and more computing efficiency for application in real-time system. In order to show the advantages, we also detail on the modified algorithm of our new architecture and compare the synthesis results of hardware implementations
