This work presents challenges and solutions of global interconnect in Network-on-Chip (NoC) based System-on-Chips (SoCs) for congestion-free communication between different quantum accelerators in quantum computing systems. To address these problems, we have proposed two novel topologies in two-dimensional (2-D) and four topologies in three-dimensional (3-D). These topologies are based on two different architectural connection methods. The first two are the hybrid connection of the ring-of-mesh, with partial-diagonal-link (HMRPD) in 2-D and 3-D, and the other two are the hybrid connection of the ring-of-torus, with partial-diagonal-link (HTRPD) in 2-D and 3-D. Initially, the parametric analysis performed for both 2-D topologies and result shows that the interconnect has less diameter and average distance, which leads to reduce latency. It requires a small node degree, which makes it more accessible to design a network. It has a high bisection bandwidth, which helps in achieving low communication cost and high throughput. The scalability is higher than that of another existing interconnect. Further, we have examined the throughput, packet latency, and energy consumption of the interconnect for performance comparison of topologies under synthetic traffic patterns. We found that the proposed technique improves performance, optimizes communication cost, and energy consumption. Next, the 2-D HMRPD and 2-D HTRPD extended to 3-D symmetric network architectures by appending two additional ports in 2-D router architectures, namely up port and down port, and connecting these ports by Through Silicon Via (TSV), and routing of packets performed by a quasi-minimal routing technique. The result shows that these 3-D HMRPD and HTRPD have better performance than the 2-D HMRPD, 2-D HTRPD, and existing topologies. Unfortunately, these 3-D topologies result in extra energy consumption issues. Therefore, to solve this issue, heterogeneous layout of 2-D and 3-D router integration techniques applied in 3-D topologies for reducing number of TSV. Furthermore, we have presented two 3-D HTRPD topologies with TSV optimized and compared them with a full TSV-connected 3-D HTRPD. We found that 1P-3DR-HTRPD topology has the lowest gate count, area, dynamic, and static power consumption in comparison to fully connected 3-D HTRPD topology. This work has been designed by modifying network system simulator and also implemented in the Xc7z020clg484-1 ZYNQ FPGA device for validation. Furthermore, we have also examined that these 2-D topologies are more area-efficient and require a maximum crossbar size of 6x6 and have a high frequency of 2.29 GHz and 2.22 GHz for 2-D HMRPD and 2-D HTRPD, respectively, in comparison to other diagonal link topologies.
本研究提出了在基于片上网络(NoC)的片上系统(soc)中实现量子计算系统中不同量子加速器之间无拥塞通信的全局互连的挑战和解决方案。为了解决这些问题,我们提出了两种新的二维拓扑(2-D)和四种三维拓扑(3-D)。这些拓扑基于两种不同的体系结构连接方法。前两种是网格环的混合连接,具有二维和三维的部分对角连接(HMRPD),另外两种是环面环的混合连接,具有二维和三维的部分对角连接(HTRPD)。首先,对二维拓扑进行了参数分析,结果表明互连的直径和平均距离较小,从而减少了延迟。它需要较小的节点度,这使得设计网络更容易。它具有很高的对分带宽,有助于实现低通信成本和高吞吐量。可扩展性高于现有的另一种互连。此外,我们还检查了互连的吞吐量、数据包延迟和能耗,以便在综合流量模式下对拓扑结构进行性能比较。我们发现所提出的技术提高了性能,优化了通信成本和能耗。接下来,二维HMRPD和二维HTRPD扩展到三维对称网络架构,通过在二维路由器架构中附加两个额外的端口,即上行端口和下行端口,并通过通过硅孔(TSV)连接这些端口,并通过准最小路由技术进行分组路由。结果表明,这些三维HMRPD和HTRPD比二维HMRPD、二维HTRPD和现有拓扑具有更好的性能。不幸的是,这些3-D拓扑会导致额外的能源消耗问题。因此,为了解决这一问题,将二维和三维路由器集成的异构布局技术应用于三维拓扑中,以减少TSV的数量。此外,我们提出了两种优化了TSV的3-D HTRPD拓扑,并将其与完整的TSV连接的3-D HTRPD进行了比较。我们发现,与完全连接的3-D HTRPD拓扑相比,1P-3DR-HTRPD拓扑具有最低的栅极数、面积、动态和静态功耗。该工作通过修改网络系统模拟器进行设计,并在Xc7z020clg484-1 ZYNQ FPGA器件上实现验证。此外,我们还研究了与其他对角链路拓扑相比,这些二维拓扑具有更高的面积效率,要求最大横条尺寸为6x6,并且二维HMRPD和二维HTRPD分别具有2.29 GHz和2.22 GHz的高频。

With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and the increasing proliferation of electronic devices, the demand for high-performance and secure printed circuit boards (PCBs) has grown substantially. In particular, the requirements for high-frequency operation, high-speed signal integrity, and enhanced security have become increasingly critical in modern PCB design. This study presents an integrated framework that incorporates test point insertion directly into the PCB routing process, simultaneously addressing testability and security concerns at the design stage. For the routing task, we propose a method that prioritizes nets by assigning routing sequences prior to trace generation. The A∗ search algorithm is then employed to perform multilayer routing, utilizing a customized heuristic function to minimize overall trace length while considering the known number of board layers. To determine optimal test point placement, we adopt a reinforcement learning approach, wherein an agent learns to select appropriate insertion actions guided by a carefully designed reward function. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves 100 % routing success and full test point coverage across all evaluated PCB designs. The resulting design allows for improved accessibility for electrical testing and lays the groundwork for subsequent security assessment.
随着人工智能(AI)技术的快速发展和电子设备的日益普及,对高性能和安全的印刷电路板(pcb)的需求大幅增长。特别是对高频工作、高速信号完整性和增强安全性的要求在现代PCB设计中变得越来越重要。本研究提出了一个集成框架,将测试点插入直接集成到PCB布线过程中,同时解决了设计阶段的可测试性和安全性问题。对于路由任务,我们提出了一种方法,通过在跟踪生成之前分配路由序列来确定网络的优先级。然后使用A *搜索算法来执行多层路由,利用自定义的启发式函数来最小化总走线长度,同时考虑到已知的板层数。为了确定最佳的测试点放置,我们采用了强化学习方法,其中智能体在精心设计的奖励函数的指导下学习选择适当的插入动作。实验结果表明,该方法在所有评估的PCB设计中实现了100%的路由成功率和完全的测试点覆盖。最终的设计允许改进电气测试的可访问性,并为后续的安全评估奠定基础。

This article presents the design and implementation of a fully differential Successive Approximation Register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) in 65 nm UMC technology, specifically targeting biomedical applications where area efficiency is a critical requirement. The design prioritizes achieving clean and precise first-order Noise Shaping (NS) by integrating a switched-capacitor-based integrator with our proposed C-2C ladder DAC topology, which is instrumental in significantly reducing area consumption. Noise performance is optimized by carefully correlating the capacitances of the integrator and DAC, ensuring precision and stability. To achieve robust operation, the design incorporates a process, voltage, and temperature (PVT)-resilient methodology for all system blocks, providing consistent performance and reliability under challenging conditions and variations in fabrication. The implemented prototype achieves an area efficiency of 0.058 mm2, 10.37 ENOB over a 20 kHz Bandwidth, and operates at a 1 MHz sampling rate with a power consumption of 448μW.

This paper introduces a chaotic circuit design that integrates a Clapp oscillator with dual ultra-high-frequency (UHF) memristors. The circuit architecture marries the conventional Clapp oscillator topology with two UHF memristors, which operate at frequencies extending up to 1.5 GHz, and induces chaotic behavior by leveraging the inherent nonlinear properties of the memristors. The memristive circuit has been realized using the SMIC 0.18 μm CMOS technology. Simulation outcomes indicate that, powered by a 3.3 V supply, the chaotic circuit is capable of producing both single-vortex and double-vortex-like chaotic attractors by adjusting the capacitance and inductance parameters. Additionally, the chaotic attributes of the circuit have been substantiated through phase portraits, Lyapunov exponent analysis, 0-1 test, Bifurcation diagram, and Poincaré section analysis. The circuit exhibits characteristics of ultra-high-frequency operation, a wealth of chaotic dynamics, and a stable signal output. This study provides a new solution for the generation of high frequency chaotic sequences, which has potential application prospects in the field of information security.

Compressed sensing applications frequently employ sparse signal recovery techniques, including Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP), to effectively reconstruct signals. However, traditional OMP suffers from limitations in atom selection due to its reliance on single-atom selection methods, which can lead to inaccurate reconstructions and increased computational complexity. A novel Adaptable Threshold and Projection-Aware Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (ATPAwOMP) algorithm is suggested in this study to overcome these issues. By combining an adaptive thresholding method with projection-based atom selection, ATPAwOMP improves conventional OMP by iteratively improving reconstruction accuracy. By eliminating unnecessary atoms from the support set during the backtracking phase of the method, redundant computations are decreased, and the importance of the chosen atoms is increased. A lightweight VLSI design with a parallel multiplication and accumulation (MAC) unit, sorting unit, and matrix inversion unit is presented in order to further optimize the method for hardware deployment. A Newton-Raphson-based reciprocal operator decreases resource requirements for matrix inversion. At the same time, a Reconfigurable Adder/Subtractor Module (RASM) and a low-complexity LUT-based multiplier are integrated to minimize hardware overhead in the MAC unit. The proposed work is implemented in the Xilinx platform using the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. The FPGA measures and the error metrics, such as signal to noise ratio (SNR), root mean square error (RMSE), percentage root mean square difference (PRD), and normalized PRDN, are evaluated. The ATPAwOMP algorithm is well-suited for real-time and resource-constrained applications like wearable ECG monitoring devices because of its adaptive thresholding and projection-aware approach, which provide notable increases in reconstruction accuracy and processing efficiency.
压缩感知应用经常采用稀疏信号恢复技术,包括正交匹配追踪(OMP),以有效地重建信号。然而,由于传统的OMP依赖于单原子选择方法,因此在原子选择方面存在局限性,这可能导致不准确的重建和增加的计算复杂性。为了克服这些问题,本文提出了一种新的自适应阈值和投影感知正交匹配追踪(ATPAwOMP)算法。通过将自适应阈值法与基于投影的原子选择相结合,ATPAwOMP通过迭代提高重建精度来改进传统OMP。通过在方法回溯阶段从支持集中剔除不必要的原子,减少了冗余计算,增加了所选原子的重要性。为了进一步优化硬件部署方法,提出了一种具有并行乘法和累积(MAC)单元、排序单元和矩阵反演单元的轻量级VLSI设计。基于牛顿-拉斐尔的互反算子减少了矩阵反演的资源需求。同时,集成了可重构加/减模块(RASM)和低复杂度的基于lut的乘法器,最大限度地减少了MAC单元的硬件开销。这项工作是在Xilinx平台上使用MIT-BIH心律失常数据库实现的。评估了FPGA测量和误差指标,如信噪比(SNR)、均方根误差(RMSE)、百分比均方根差(PRD)和归一化PRDN。ATPAwOMP算法非常适合实时和资源受限的应用,如可穿戴式心电监护设备,因为它的自适应阈值和投影感知方法,可以显著提高重建精度和处理效率。

This work introduces five novel 1-bit Transmission Gate Diffusion Input (TGDI)-based Hybrid Full Adders (HFAs), optimized for low power consumption and high-speed performance, outperforming recent architectures. Additionally, an innovative 16-bit Ripple Carry Adder (RCA) is developed, leveraging a Doublet Transmission Gate Adder-based Compressor Structure (DTGAC) to address driving strength challenges while achieving a low power-delay product and improved Figure of Merit (FoM). The proposed architectures are simulated using the Cadence Virtuoso tool with 18 nm Fin Field Effect Transistor (FinFET) technology and a nominal supply voltage of 0.8 V (±10%) at 27 °C. Post-layout simulations validate the real-world electrical behavior of the proposed circuits. Process corner and Monte Carlo analysis confirm the robustness of the designs. The results reveal a significant FoM improvement of 45.16%–59.3% for the proposed 1-bit TGDI-based HFAs compared to the 1-bit conventional mirror adder.

Despite offering significant performance and energy efficiency advantages over CMOS, superconductive digital circuits face several challenges including scaling limitations. Traditional single flux quantum (SFQ) circuits require synchronous clock signals, leading to complex clock distribution networks. The integration density of SFQ circuits is also hindered by the need for large storage inductors. To overcome these challenges, an inductorless dynamic logic based on ferromagnetic bistable 2ϕ-Josephson junctions (JJ) is proposed. This logic family offers a scalable solution for asynchronous superconductive logic circuits. The behavior of 2ϕ-Josephson junctions is reviewed, and all-JJ dynamic circuits facilitating clockless operation are introduced. Inductorless dynamic AND and OR gates are evaluated in a half adder. The characteristics, margins, and effects of the parasitic inductances on circuit operation are discussed. As compared to RSFQ gates in the same technology (1 kA/cm2), these logic gates exhibit 59% less delay (9 ps). 2ϕ-JJs require less energy to switch between equilibrium states. As a result, a decrease of 65% in bias current as compared to standard dynamic SFQ circuits is achieved. The reduction in bias current in half flux quantum operation requires 6.7X less energy per transition. Utilizing standard Josephson junctions rather than inductors saves 42μm2 and 53μm2 of loop inductance area within, respectively, a dynamic AND gate and dynamic OR gate for the 10 kA/cm2 MIT LL SFQ5ee technology.
尽管与CMOS相比,超导数字电路具有显著的性能和能效优势,但仍面临一些挑战,包括缩放限制。传统的单通量量子(SFQ)电路需要同步时钟信号,导致时钟分配网络复杂。SFQ电路的集成密度也因为需要大的存储电感器而受到阻碍。为了克服这些挑战,提出了一种基于铁磁双稳态2ϕ-Josephson结(JJ)的无电感器动态逻辑。该逻辑系列为异步超导逻辑电路提供了可扩展的解决方案。回顾了2ϕ-Josephson结的行为,并介绍了促进无时钟操作的全jj动态电路。在半加法器中评估无电感器的动态与或门。讨论了寄生电感的特性、余量以及对电路工作的影响。与相同技术的RSFQ门(1 kA/cm2)相比,这些逻辑门的延迟减少了59% (9 ps)。在平衡状态之间切换所需的能量更少。因此,与标准动态SFQ电路相比,偏置电流降低了65%。在半通量量子运算中,减少偏置电流所需的每次跃迁能量减少6.7倍。采用标准约瑟夫森结而不是电感,在10 kA/cm2的MIT LL SFQ5ee技术中,动态与门和动态或门分别节省了42μm2和53μm2的环路电感面积。

Physical Unclonable Function (PUF), a new hardware security primitive, provides a unique trustworthy root for a system by extracting deviations from a circuit's process. However, existing PUFs are difficult to achieve high reliability under temperature and voltage variations. In this paper, To address the problem of low reliability of Transient Effect Ring Oscillator (TERO) PUF, we propose a feedback TERO PUF based on Mueller gate, which uses the accumulation of RO loop delays to isolate the final PUF response, and stabilises the PUF quickly by introducing the delay of the feedback loop as a threshold. Experimental results on HSPICE show that the FT PUF reduces the BER to the worst 10.28 % over the temperature range of -20-80 °C and the voltage range of 0.8–1.2 V, and the uniqueness and uniformity are 51.38 % and 49.87 %, respectively. When implemented on several 7-series Xilinx devices, it achieved an 8.07 % reduction in unstable bit rate over conventional TERO PUFs under standard conditions (25 °C, 1.0V) and a worst-case unstable bit rate improvement of 3.15 % over the manufacturer's recommended voltage range.
物理不可克隆函数(Physical unclable Function, PUF)是一种新的硬件安全原语,它通过从电路过程中提取偏差,为系统提供一个唯一的可信赖的根。然而,现有的puf在温度和电压变化下难以实现高可靠性。为了解决瞬态效应环振荡器(TERO) PUF可靠性低的问题,本文提出了一种基于穆勒门的反馈TERO PUF,利用RO环路延迟的积累来隔离PUF的最终响应,并通过引入反馈环路的延迟作为阈值来快速稳定PUF。HSPICE上的实验结果表明,在-20 ~ 80℃的温度范围和0.8 ~ 1.2 V的电压范围内,FT PUF将误码率降低了10.28%,唯一性和均匀性分别为51.38%和49.87%。当在几个7系列Xilinx设备上实施时,在标准条件下(25°C, 1.0V),它比传统TERO puf的不稳定比特率降低了8.07%,在制造商推荐的电压范围内,最坏情况下不稳定比特率提高了3.15%。

Micro-displays are ubiquitous in portable electronics, ranging from consumer products to specialized industrial and medical devices including heads-up displays (HUDs), and augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) headsets. To increase the battery life of portable electronics, it is important to address power consumption in micro-displays, which is the most power-hungry block in these devices. With the improved power efficiency of display media, the power consumption of the display backplane is still high, especially while streaming video. Therefore, to reduce overall power consumption, it is important to reduce the power consumption of the display backplane. This work investigates the impact of column segmentation techniques and row charge sharing on reducing the power consumption of the display backplane. The measurement result of a VGA (480 × 640) micro-display implemented in TSMC 65 nm technology shows a 18.4% reduction in the average total power consumption of the display backplane using a dual-column driver with column segmentation architecture.
