In this paper, a multi-time programmable (MTP) cell based on a $0.18{\mu}m$ bipolar-CMOS-DMOS backbone process that can be written into by using dual pumping voltages - VPP (boosted voltage) and VNN (negative voltage) - is used to design MTP memories without high voltage devices. The used MTP cell consists of a control gate (CG) capacitor, a TG_SENSE transistor, and a select transistor. To reduce the MTP cell size, the tunnel gate (TG) oxide and sense transistor are merged into a single TG_SENSE transistor; only two p-wells are used - one for the TG_SENSE and sense transistors and the other for the CG capacitor; moreover, only one deep n-well is used for the 256-bit MTP cell array. In addition, a three-stage voltage level translator, a VNN charge pump, and a VNN precharge circuit are newly proposed to secure the reliability of 5 V devices. Also, a dual memory structure, which is separated into a designer memory area of $1row{\times}64columns$ and a user memory area of $3rows{\times}64columns$, is newly proposed in this paper.

신경 회로망을 구현하기 위해 다양한 시도들이 이루어지고 있으며, 하드웨어적인 개선을 위해 전용 칩 개발이 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 신경 회로망을 웨어러블 디바이스에 적용하기 위해서는 소형화와 저전력 동작이 필수적이다. 이러한 관점에서 적합한 구현 방법은 FPGA (field programmable gate array)를 사용한 디지털 회로 설계이다. 이 시스템을 구현하기 위해서는 성능 향상을 위해 신경 회로망의 많은 부분을 차지하는 학습 알고리즘을 FPGA 내에 구현하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 FPGA를 이용하여 다양한 학습 알고리즘 중 역전파 알고리즘을 구현하였으며, 구현 된 신경 회로망은 OR 게이트 연산을 통해 검증되었다. 또한 이러한 신경 회로망을 활용하여 다양한 사용자의 생체 신호 측정 결과를 분석할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

This paper presents an integrated variable amplitude high voltage pulse generation circuit with low power and small size for driving industrial piezoelectric printer heads. To solve the problems of large size and power overhead of conventional pulse generators that usually assembled with multiple high-cost discrete ICs on a PCB board, we have designed a new integrated circuit (IC) chip. Since all the functions are integrated on to a single-chip it can achieve low cost and control the high-voltage output pulse with variable amplitudes as well. It can also digitally control the rising and falling times of an output high voltage pulse by using programmable RC time control of the output buffer. The proposed circuit has been designed and simulatedd in a 180[nm] Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) technology using HSPICE and Cadence Virtuoso Tools. The proposed single-chip pulse generation circuit is suitable for use in industrial printer heads requiring a variable high voltage driving capability.

In this paper, hardware design and implementation of digital controller for the High Precision Digital Power Supply (HPDPS) based on Digital Signal Processor (DSP) and Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is presented. Developed digital controller is composed of high resolution Digital Pulse Width Modulation (DPWM) and high resolution analog to digital converter circuit with anti-aliasing filter. And Digital Signal Processor (DSP) has the capability of a few micro-second calculation time for one feedback loop. 32-bit DSP and DPWM with 150[ps] step resolution is used to implement the HPDPS. Also 18-bit 2 mega sample per second ADC board is adopted for the developed digital controller. Also, hardware structure of the developed digital controller and experimental results of the first prototype board for HPDPS is described.

The antifuse is a semi-permanent memory device like a ROM which shows the open or short state, and a switch device connecting logic blocks selectively in FPGA. In addition, the antifuse has been used as a logic device to troubleshoot defective memory cells arising from SDRAM processing. In this study, we have fabricated ONO antifuses consisted of PIP structure. The antifuse shows a high resistance more than several G Ω in the normal state, and shows a low resistance less than 500 Ω after program. The program resistance variation according to temperature shows the very stable value of $\pm$20 Ω. At this time, its program voltage shows 6.7∼7.2 V and the program is performed within 1 second. Therefore this result shows that the PIP antifuse is a very stable and programmable logic device.

H.264 부호기의 on-chip 상의 구현방법으로는 성능에 중점을 둔 ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) 기반의 접근 방식과 ASIC 보다 성능은 떨어지나 일반성과 유연성에 중점을 둔 ASIP (application specific instruction set architecture) 기반의 설계 방식이 연구되어 왔다. 우리는 영상 압축 응용 범위 내에서는 일반성 및 유연성을 잃지 않으면서도 기존에 문제시 되던 ASIP의 성능은 대폭 개선할 수 있는 ISA와 micro architecture를 제안하고 구현한 바 있다. 본 논문의 핵심적인 기여는 이 ASIP의 추가적인 성능 개선이다.

Wireless communication systems, such as WLAN or Bluetooth receivers, employ preamble data to estimate the channel characteristics, introducing stringent settling-time constraints. This makes the use of traditional closed-loop feedback automatic gain control (AGC) circuits impractical for these applications. In this paper, a compact feedforward AGC circuit is proposed to obtain a fast-settling response. The AGC has been implemented in a 0.35 ${\mu}m$ standard CMOS technology. Supplied at 1.8 V, it operates with a power consumption of 1.6 mW at frequencies as high as 100 MHz, while its gain ranges from 0 dB to 21 dB in 3 dB steps through a digital word. The settling time of the circuit is below 0.25 ${\mu}s$.

This paper presents the implementation of comparator which is self-testing with respect to the faults caused by any single physical defect likely to occur in NMOS and CMOS integrated circuit. The goal is to use it for the fault-tolerant system. First, a new fault model for PLA(Programmable Logic Array) is presented. This model reflects several physical defects in VLSI circuits. It focuses on the designs based on PLA because VLSI chips are far too complex to allow detailed analysis of all the possible physical defects that can occur and of the effects on the operation of the circuit. Second, this paper shows that these design, which has been implemented with 2 level AND-ORor NOR-NOR circuit, are optimal in term of size. And it also presents a formal proof that a comparator implemented using NOR-NOR PLA, based on these design, is sol f-testing with respect to most single faults in the presented fault model. Finally, it discusses the application of the self-testing comparator as a building block for the implementation of the fault-tolerant system.

The paper proposes a design of high-speed dynamic CMOS PLA (Programmable Logic Array) which performs stable circuit operation. The race problem which nay occur in a NOR-NOR implementation of PLA is free in the proposed dynamic CMOS PLA by delaying time between the clocks to the AND- and to the OR-planes. The delay element has the same structure as the product line of the longest delay in the AND p`ane. Therefore it is unnecessary to design the delay element or to calculate correct delay time. The correct delay generated by the delay element makes the dynamic CMOS PLA to perform correct and stable circuit operation. Theproposed dynamic CMOS PLA has few variation of switching delay with the increasing number of inputs or outputs in PLA. It is verified by SPICE circuit simulation that the proposed dynamic CMOS PLA has the better performance over existing dynamic CMOS PLA's.
