In order to remove minority carries of the base region at changing signal in conventional bipolar logic circuit, we made transistor which is composed of NPN transistor shortened buried layer under the Base region, PNP transistor which is merged in base, epi layer and substrate. Also the Ring-Oscillator for measuring transmission time-delay per gate was designed as well. In the result, we get amplitude of logic voltage of 200mV, the minimum of transmission delay-time of 211nS, and the minimum of transmission delay-time per gate of 7.26ns in AC characteristic output of Ring-Oscillator connected Gate.

This paper proposes a new algorithmic state machine(ASM) chart and a new hardware description for automatic logic design of VLSI. To describe the behavioral characteristics of the design specification, the conventional ASM chart is modified, and a new hardware description language, SDL, is proposed. The SDL is one-to-one correspondent to the proposed ASM chart symbol, and can be used in a hierachical design of VLSI. As a design example, we obtain a logic circuit diagram of gate lebel utilizing a SDL hardware compiler after drawing an ASM chart and describing in SDL.

In this paper, a method for constructing of the sequential multiple-valued logic circuits over Galois field GF(px) is proposed. First, we derive the Talyor series over Galois field and the unique matrices which accords with the number of the element over the finite field, and we constdruct sequential multiple-valued logic circuits using these matrices. Computational procedure for traditional polynomial expansion can be reduced by using this method. Also, single and multi-input circuits can be easily implemented.

In this paper, we developed the internet-based educational software package (DVLab) for design and virtual experiment of the digital logic circuits. The DVLab consists of the LogicSim module for design and simulation of digital combinational/sequantial logic circuits, micro-controller application circuits and the BreadBoard module for virtual experiment and the Theory module for lecture and the Report/ReportChecker module and some other utility modules. All developed modules can be run as application programs as well as applets in the Internet. The LogicSim and the BreadBoard support real time clock function, output verification function on the designed circuits, trace function of logic values, copy-protection function of designed circuits and provide various devices including logic gates, TTLs, LED, buzzer, and micro-controller. The educational model of digital logic circuit design and experiment using the DVLab is also presented in this paper.

Conventional synchronous circuits in low power required systems such as sensor systems cannot only satisfy the timing requirement of the low voltage digital systems, but also they may generate wrong outputs under the influence of PVT variations and aging effects. Therefore, in the reliable ultra-low power design, asynchronous circuits have recently been reconsidered as a solution for scaling issues. However, it is not easy to totally replace synchronous circuits with asynchronous circuits in the digital systems, so the interfacing between the synchronous and asynchronous circuits is indispensable for the digital systems. This paper presents a new design for interfacing between asynchronous circuits and synchronous circuits, and the interface circuits are applied to a $4{\times}4$ multiplier logic designed using 0.11um technology.

In this paper, it is proposed the fault detection method of the ASIC, without the Test Requirement Document(TRD), extracting internal logic circuit and analyzed the function of the ASIC using the multipurpose development program and simulation. If there don't have the TRD, it is impossible to analyze the operation of the circuit and find out the fault detection in any chip. Therefore, we make the TRD based on the analyzed logic data of the ASIC, and diagnose of the ASIC circuit at the gate level through the signal control of I/O pins using the Dynamic Pattern signal. According to the experimental results of the proposed method, we is confirmed the good performance of the fault detection capabilities which applied to the non-memory circuit.

A CMOS driving circuit for active matrix type polymer electroluminescent displays was designed to develop an on-chip microdisplay on the single crystal silicon wafer substrate. The driving circuit is a conventional structure that is composed of the row, column and pixel driving parts. 256 gray scales were implemented using pulse amplitude modulation method. The 2-transistor driving scheme was adopted for the pixel driving part. The layout was carried out considering the compatibility with the standard CMOS process. Judging from the layout of the driving circuit, it turns that it is possible to implement a high-resolution display about 400 ppi resolution. Through the HSPICE simulation, it was verified that this circuit is capable of driving a VGA signal mode display and implementing 256 gray levels.

A ratio type of capacitance measurement circuit is proposed to measure an extremely small value of the fF capacitance on this paper. This measurement circuit is formed with a switched-capacitor integrator, a comparator, and logic circuit blocks to control the switches. It converts the measured ratio value between the known value of on-chip capacitor and the unknown value of capacitor to the digital signal. The fF capacitance with minimized error can be obtained by calculating this ratio. This proposed circuit is designed with standard CMOS $0.18{\mu}m$ process, and various HSpice simulations prove that this capacitance measurement circuit is able to measure the capacitance under 5fF with less than ${\pm}0.3%$ error rate.

The advent of deep submicron technologies in the age of portable electronic systems creates a moving target for CAB algorithms, which now need to reduce power as well as delay and area in the existing design methodology. This paper presents a resynthesis algorithm for logic decomposition on mapped circuits. The existing algorithm uses a Huffman encoding, but does not consider glitches and effects on logic depth. The proposed algorithm is to generalize the Huffman encoding algorithm to minimize the switching activity of non-critical subcircuits and to preserve a given logic depth. We show how to obtain a transition-optimum binary tree decomposition for AND tree with zero gate delay. The algorithm is tested using SIS (logic synthesizer) and Level-Map (LUT-based FPGA lower power technology mapper) and shows 58%, 8% reductions on power consumptions, respectively.
