Delay testing has become highlighted in the field of digital circuits as the speed and the density of the circuits improve greatly. However, delay faults in sequential circuits cannot be detected easily due to the existence of state registers. To overcome this difficulty a new scan filp-flop is devised which can be used for both stuck-at testing and delay testing. In addition, the new scan flip-flop can be applied to both the existing functional justification method and the newly-developed reverse functional justification method which uses scan flip-flops as storing the second test patterns rather than the first test patterns. Experimental results on ISCAS 89 benchmark circuits show that the number of testable paths can be increased by about 10% on the average.

In this paper, the open-loop state response of the two-time-scale systems by unified approach using the $\delta$-operator is presented with an example of the aircraft longitudinal dynamics. First, the $\delta$-operator system unifies both the continuous system and the discrete system simultaneously, and the $\delta$-operator approach improves the finite word-length characteristics. This saves more computing time than that of the discrete system. Second, the singular perturbation method by block diagonalization reduces the sizes and orders of the systems. This also reduces the floating-point operations (flops). The advantage of those two approaches is shown by comparing our results with the earlier ones in the illustrative example of the longitudinal motion of F-8 aircraft.

A new architecture of field programmable gate array for high-speed datapath applications is presented. Its implementation is facilitated by a configurable interconnect technology based on a one-time, two-terminal programmable, very low-impedance anti-fuse and by a configurable logic module optimized for datapath applications. The configurable logic module can effectively implement diverse logic functions including sequential elements such as latches and flip-flops, and arithmetic functions such as one-bit full adder and two-bit comparator. A novel programming architecture is designed for supplying large current through the anti-fuse element, which drops the on-resistance of anti-fuse below $20{\Omega}$. The chip has been fabricated using a $0.8-{\mu}m$ n-well complementary metal oxide semiconductor technology with two layers of metalization.

By combining a digital DLL and an analog DLL in 2-stage, an improved DLL is implemented in this paper. The proposed DLL is composed of a RDLL (Register Controlled DLL) and a conventional analog DLL. The phase comparator used in the DLL is built with sense-amp based D flip-flops for high speed operation. The proposed DLL circuits have been designed, simulated in 0.18um, 1.8V TSMC CMOS library. The implemented DLL have demonstrated the fast lock-on time of 1us and low jitter of 72ps.

We present the design of ternary flip-flop which is based on ternary logic so as to process ternary data. These flip-flops are fabricated with ternary voltage mode NOR, NAND, INVERTER gates. These logic gate circuits are designed using CMOS and obtained the characteristics of a lower voltage, a lower power consumption as compared to other gates. These circuits have been simulated with the electrical parameters of a standard 0.25 micron CMOS technology and 2.5 volts supply voltage. The Architecture of proposed ternary flip-flop is highly modular and well suited for VLSI implementation, only using ternary gates.

This paper presents a microcontroller-based control circuit for color variation of high brightness RGB LEDs in $8{\times}8$ matrix array. The control circuit is comprised of an AT89C52 chip, D Flip-flops, and transistors for switching, and is used to adjust the number of LEDs operated for color variation. For a stable operation, it is required that the input current to each LED should be maintained to a normal value irrespective of the number of LEDs operated.

A 120 GHz voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) with a divider chain including an injection locked frequency divider (ILFD) and six static frequency dividers is demonstrated using 65-nm CMOS technology. The VCO is designed based on the LC cross-coupled push-push structure and operates around 120 GHz. The 60 GHz ILFD at the first stage of the frequency divider chain is based on a similar topology as the core of the VCO to ensure the frequency alignment between the two circuit blocks. The static divider chain is composed of D-flip flops, providing a 64 division ratio. The entire circuit consumes a DC power of 68.5 mW with the chip size of $1385{\times}835{\mu}m^2$.

A 128/129 dual-modulus prescalar IC is designed for application to frequency synthesizers in high frequency communication systems. The FET logic used in this design is SCFL(Source Coupled FET Logic), employing depletion-mode 1.mu.m gate length GaAs MESFETs with the threshold voltage of -1.5V. This circuit consists of 8 flip-flops, 3 OR gates, 2 NOR gates, a modulus control buffer and I/O buffers, which are integrated with about 440 GaAs MESFETs on dimensions of 1.8mm. For $V_{DD}$ and $V_{SS}$ power supply voltages 5V and -3.3V Commonly used in TTL and ECL circuits are determined, respectively. The simulation results taking into account the threshold voltage variation of .+-.0.2V and the power supply variation of .+-.1V demonstrate that the designed prescalar can operate up to 2GHz. This prescalar is fabricated using the ETRI MMIC foundary process and the measured maximum operating frquency is 621MHz.

Recently, interest in multivalued(MV) logic system has been increased, despites the apparent difficulties for practical application. This is because of the many advantages of the MV compared with the 2-valued logic systems, such as; (a) higher speed of arithmetical operation on account of the smaller number of digits required for a given data, (b) better utilization of data transmission channels on account of the higher information contents per line, (c) potentially higher density of information storage. This paper describes a MV switching theory and experimental MV logic elements based on current-mode logic technique. These elements tried were a 3-stable pulse generator, a ternary AND, a ternary OR, a MT circuit and a ternary inverter. Tristable flops which are indispensable for constituting a ternary shift register are synthesized using these gates. A BCD to TCD decoder, and vice versa, are proposed by using a ternary inverter and some binary gates. Thus, the feasibility of a large scale MV digital system has been demonstrate.

Lightweight ciphers are increasingly employed in cryptography because of the high demand for secure data transmission in wireless sensor network, embedded devices, and Internet of Things. The PRESENT algorithm as an ultralightweight block cipher provides better solution for secure hardware cryptography with low power consumption and minimum resource. This study generates the key using key rotation and substitution method, which contains key rotation, key switching, and binary-coded decimal-based key generation used in image encryption. The key rotation and substitution-based PRESENT architecture is proposed to increase security level for data stream and randomness in cipher through providing high resistance to attacks. Lookup table is used to design the key scheduling module, thus reducing the area of architecture. Field-programmable gate array (FPGA) performances are evaluated for the proposed and conventional methods. In Virtex 6 device, the proposed key rotation and substitution PRESENT architecture occupied 72 lookup tables, 65 flip flops, and 35 slices which are comparably less to the existing architecture.
