This paper describes the design of an asynchronous implementation of a sensor network processor. The main purpose of this work is the reduction of power consumption in sensor network node processors and the research presented here tries to explore the suitability of asynchronous circuits for this purpose. The Handshake Solutions toolkit is used to implement an asynchronous version of a sensor processor. The design is made compact, trading area and leakage power savings with dynamic power costs, targeting the typical sparse operating characteristics of sensor node processors. It is then compared with a synchronous version of the same processor. Both versions are then compared with existing commercial processors in terms of power consumption.

본 논문은 기존의 블록 암호 프로세서를 128-bit 구조에서 32-bit구조로 소형화시킨 저 전력 구조를 제안하였다. 본 논문의 목적은 암호 이론 연구가 아닌 실용화 연구로서 실용화 결과를 보이는 것이다. 제안된 구조는 하드웨어 크기를 줄이기 위해 데이터 패스와 확산 함수가 수정되었다. 저전력 암호회로의 예로서 ARIA 알고리즘을 고쳐서 4개의 S-box가 사용되었다. 제안된 32-bit ARIA는 13,893 게이트로 구성되어있으며 기존 128-bit 구조보다 68.25% 더 작다. 설계된 회로는 매그너칩스의 0.35um CMOS 공정을 기반으로 표준 셀 라이브러리를 이용하여 합성되었다. 트랜지스터 레벨에서 전력 시뮬레이션 결과 이 회로의 전력 소모는71MHz에서 기존의 128-bit ARIA구조의 9.7%인 61.46mW으로 나타났다. 이 저전력 블록 암호 회로는 전원이 없는 무선 센서 네트워크 또는 RFID 정보보호에 핵심요소가 될 것이다.

Embedded business will be expanded market more and more since customers seek more wearable and ubiquitous systems. Cellular telephones, PDAs, notebooks and portable multimedia devices could bring higher microprocessor revenues and more rewarding improvements in performance and functions. Increasing battery capacity is still creeping along the roadmap. Until a small practical fuel cell becomes available, microprocessor developers must come up with power-reduction methods. According to MPR 2003, the instruction and data caches of ARM920T processor consume $44\%$ of total processor power. The rest of it is split into the power consumptions of the integer core, memory management units, bus interface unit and other essential CPU circuitry. And the relationships among CPU, peripherals and caches may change in the future. The processor working on higher operating frequency will exact larger cache RAM and consume more energy. In this paper, we propose advanced low power trace cache which caches traces of the dynamic instruction stream, and reduces cache access times. And we evaluate the performance of the trace cache and estimate the power of the trace cache, which is compared with conventional cache.

In this paper, low-power design and implementation techniques for DWT(Discrete Wavelet Transform) of the JPEG2000 compression are proposed. In DWT block of the JPEG2000, linear phase 9 tap and 7 tap filters are used. For low-power implementation of those filters, processor technique for DA(Distributed Arithmetic) filter and minimization technique for number of addition in CSD(Canonic Signed Digit) filter are utilized. Proposed filter structure consists of 3 blocks. In the first CSD coefficient block, every possible 4 bit CSD coefficients are calculated and stored. In second processor block, multiplication is done by MUX and addition processor in terms of the binary values of filter coefficient. Finally, in third block, multiplied values are output and stored in flip-flop train. For comparison of the implementation area and power dissipation, proposed and conventional structures are implemented by using Verilog-HDL coding. In simulation, it is shown that 53.1% of the implementation area can be reduced comparison with those of the conventional structure.

A network is an important portion of communications in these days. Because of many inconveniences of a wired-network, wireless solutions have been studied for many years. One of the results of those efforts is IEEE 802.11, wireless LAN. This paper briefly summarizes wireless LAN and specially focuses on the design of a network processor for the wireless LAN system. The processor has 16-bit instruction set suitably selected for network processing and low-power consumption. It is implemented and verified with a wireless LAN system model. The wireless LAN system is modeled in RTL excluding the RF module. The processor can be used in many wireless systems as a controller and utilized as a test module for the research of low-power schemes.

In this paper we present a new-generation sensor network processor which is not optimized in circuit level, but in system architecture level. The new design build on a conventional processor architecture, improving the design by focusing on application oriented specification, ISA, and micro-architectural optimization that reduce overall design size and advance energy-per-instruction. The design employs harvard architecture, 8-bit data paths, and an compact 19 bit wide RISC ISA. The design also features a unique interrupt handler which offloads periodical monitoring jobs from the main part of CPU. Our most efficient design is capable of running at 300 KHz (0.3 MIPS) while consuming only about few pJ/instruction.

A 90-nm CMOS motion estimation (ME) processor was developed by employing dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) to greatly reduce the dynamic power. To make full use of the advantages of DVFS, a fast ME algorithm and a small on-chip DC/DC converter were also developed. The fast ME algorithm can adaptively predict the optimum supply voltage ($V_D$) and the optimum clock frequency ($f_c$) before each block matching process starts. Power dissipation of the ME processor, which contained an absolute difference accumulator as well as the on-chip DC/DC converter and DVFS controller, was reduced to $31.5{\mu}W$, which was only 2.8% that of a conventional ME processor.

This paper presents a low power design of the embedded 3D graphics rendering processor with the double span processing stage. The increase of hardware complexity by using the double span processing stage is ignorable. And the performance is equal to the rendering processor with the single span processing stage. It reduces the power consumption by using different clock frequencies.
