The Core Protection Calculator System (CPCS) is vital for plant safety as it ensures the required Specified Acceptance Fuel Design Limit (SAFDL) are not exceeded. The CPCS generates trip signals when Departure from Nucleate Boiling Ratio (DNBR) and Local Power Density (LPD) exceeds their predetermined setpoints. These setpoints are established based on the operating margin from the analysis that produces the SAFDL values. The goal of this research is to create a simplified CPCS that optimizes operating margin for I-SMRs. Because the I-SMR is compact in design, instrumentation placement is a challenge, as it is with Ex-core detectors and RCP instrumentation. The proposed CPCS addresses the issue of power flux measurement with In-Core Instrumentation (ICI), while flow measurement is handled with differential pressure transmitters between Steam Generators (SG). Simplification of CPCS is based on a Look-Up-Table (LUT) for determining the CEA groups' position. However, simplification brings approximations that result in a loss of operational margin, which necessitates compensation. Appropriate compensation is performed based on the result of analysis. FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) are presented as a way to compensate for the inadequacies of current systems by providing faster execution speeds and a lower Common Cause Failure rate (CCF).

This paper proposes a new topology-based partition method for reconfigurable FPGA systems whose components nd the number of interconnections are predetermined. Here, the partition problem must also consider nets that pass through components such as FPGAs and routing devices to route 100%. We formulate it as a quadratic boolean programming problem suggest a paritition method for it. Experimental results show 100% routing, and up to 15% improvement in the maximum number of I/O pins.

In this paper, we presents a method for multi-level logic mainmization which is suitable for the minimization of look-up table type FPGAs. A pattern extraction algorithm is minimized AND/XOR multi-level circuits. The circuits apply to Roth-Karp decomposition which is most commonly used technique in the FPGA technology mapping. We tested the FPGA synthesis method using pattern extraction on a set of benchmark. The proposed method achieved reductions on the number of LUTs in mapping soultion as compared with MISII(or SIS) or previous results〔5〕

The evaluation of the logic capability and the library generation method of the multiplexor-based logic module is described. Optimizing logic module for silicon area and logic capability is essential to build a efficient FPGAs(Field-Programmable Gate Arrays). Because the multiplexor-based logic module can implement a large number of functions, it presents difficulties for library-based approaches. However, the logic functions of the logic module can be significantly reduced by lmiting the number of variables and sum-of-products and by removing same functions with different variable ordering using algorithm presented in this paper.

In this paper, we construct cryptographic accelerators using hardware Implementations of HMACS based on a hash algorithm such as MD5.It is basically a secure version of his previous algorithm, MD4 which is a little faster than MD5 The algorithm takes as Input a message of arbitrary length and produces as output a 128-blt message digest The input is processed In 512-bit blocks In this paper, new architectures, Iterative and full loop, of MD5 have been implemented using Field Programmable Gate Arrays(FPGAS). For the full-loop design, the performance Is about 500Mbps @ 100MHz

This paper presents a new high-level synthesizer for ASIC designs using ASIC library or FPGAs. DAMUL defines the VHDL description for a specified hardware and allocate some VHDL codes, which describe the behavioral specification, to the corresponding hardware before the synthesis. The interconnections are implemented by the multiplexers, and the objective of allocation is the minimization of the number of multiplexers. Also, the dedicated registers is used for global variables, in order to implement the other necessary registers as well as status and control registers. The effectiveness of the proposed system is shown by the synthesis results of benchmark circuits.

This paper describes the design and implementation of a high-speed navigation computer to achieve precision navigation performance with Strapdown INS. The navigation computer inputs are velocity and angular increment data from the ISA at the signal of the 2404Hz interrupt and performs the removal of gyro block motion and the compensation of high dynamic errors at the 200Hz. For high-speed and high-accuracy, the computer consists of the 68040 micro-processor, 128k Memories, FPGAs, and so on. We show that the computer satisfies the required performance by In-Run navigation tests.

칩을 개발하는 과정에서 설계된 칩의 검증을 위해 FPGA (field programmable gate array)를 많이 이용한다. FPGA에 다운로드 된 회로를 검증하기 위해서는 FPGA로 데이터를 입력해야 한다. PC와 외부 보드를 통한 칩과의 통신을 위한 많은 방식이 있지만 가장 간단하고 쉬운 방법은 범용 비동기화 송수신기 (UART; universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter)를 이용한 방식이다. 최근 대부분의 회로는 AMBA (advanced microcontroller bus architecture) 버스에 연결되도록 설계되어 있다. 즉, 설계된 회로를 검증하기 위해서는 UART를 거친 후에 AMBA 버스를 통해 데이터를 전달해야 한다. AMBA 버스도 최근에 버전 4.0까지 거치면서 다양한 버전이 존재하는데 간단히 테스트를 하기 위한 용도로는 APB (advanced peripheral bus)가 적합하다. 본 논문에서는 UART-to-APB 인터페이스를 위한 회로를 설계하였다. Verilog HDL을 이용하여 설계된 회로는 Altera Cyclone FPGA에서 구현되었고, 최대 380 MHz의 속도에서 동작이 가능하였다.

본 논문에서는 고속 FPGA 설계를 위한 논리 수준의 조합회로 합성 알고리듬을 제안한다. FPGA는 현장에서 직접 제작이 가능하고 제작 시간이 짧으며 제작 비용이 저렴하므로 초기 prototype 시스템의 제작에 자주 사용되고 있으나, ASIC 칩에 비해 지연시간이 크고 집적도가 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 제안된 알고리듬은 회로의 지연시간을 줄이기 위해 critical path를 분할한 후 분할된 회로를 동시에 수행하는 구조의 회로를 생성한다. MCNC 표준 테스트 회로에 대한 실험에서 제안된 지연시간 최적화 알고리듬이 기준 알고리듬에 비해 지연시간이 평균 19.1% 감소된 회로를 생성함을 보였다.
