This paper presents a power-efficient hardware realization for a motion estimation technique that is based on the full-search block matching algorithm (FSBMA). The considered input is the quarter common intermediate format of digital video. The mean of absolute difference (MAD) is the distortion criteria employed for the block matching process. The conventional architecture considered for the hardware realization of FSBMA is that of the shift register-based 2-D systolic array. For this architecture, a conservative approximation technique is adapted to eliminate unnecessary MAD computations involved in the block matching process. Upon introducing the technique to the conventional architecture, the power and complexity of its implantation is reduced, while the accuracy of the motion vector extracted from the block matching process is preserved. The proposed architecture is verified for its functional specifications. A performance evaluation of the proposed architecture is carried out using parameters such as power, area, operating frequency, and efficiency.

This paper describes a hardware-oriented algorithm and its conceptual implementation in a real-time speed limit traffic sign detection system on an automotive-oriented field-programmable gate array (FPGA). It solves the training and color dependence problems found in other research, which saw reduced recognition accuracy under unlearned conditions when color has changed. The algorithm is applicable to various platforms, such as color or grayscale cameras, high-resolution (4K) or low-resolution (VGA) cameras, and high-end or low-end FPGAs. It is also robust under various conditions, such as daytime, night time, and on rainy nights, and is adaptable to various countries' speed limit traffic sign systems. The speed limit traffic sign candidates on each grayscale video frame are detected through two simple computational stages using global luminosity and local pixel direction. Pipeline implementation using results-sharing on overlap, application of a RAM-based shift register, and optimization of scan window sizes results in a small but high-performance implementation. The proposed system matches the processing speed requirement for a 60 fps system. The speed limit traffic sign recognition system achieves better than 98% accuracy in detection and recognition, even under difficult conditions such as rainy nights, and is implementable on the low-end, low-cost Xilinx Zynq automotive Z7020 FPGA.

본 논문에서는 블루투스 장비 간 암호화를 위해 사용되는 암호화 모듈의 설계 및 구현에 관한 내용을 다룬다. 암호화 모듈은 기저 대역내에 암호화 키 생성 모듈과 암호화 엔진 모듈로 구성된다. 암호화 키 생성 모듈은 Cylink사에서 제안한 공개 도메인인 SAFER+(Secure And Fast Encryption Routine) 알고리즘을 사용하여 128bit 키를 생성한다. 그 구성은 키 치환을 위한 치환 함수(key-controlled substitution)와 선형 변환을 위한 PHT(Pseudo-Hadamard Transform)와 Armenian Shuffle 변환기로 구성된다. 암호화 엔진 모듈은 전송 패킷내의 페이로드 데이터와 생성된 사이퍼 키 스트림 데이터와 XOR연산을 통하려 암호화를 행하며 그 구성은 LFSR (Linear Feedback Shift Register)와 합 결합기로 구성된다. 이 중 암호화 키 생성 모듈은 LM(Link Manager)의 PDU(Protocol Data Unit) 패킷을 통해 상호 정보가 교환되므로 암호화키를 생성하는데 있어 시간적 제약이 덜 하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 변형된 SAFER+ 알고리즘 구현하는데 있어 치환 함수의 덧셈과 XOR, 로그, 지수연산을 바이트 단위의 순차 계산을 수행함으로써 소요되는 하드웨어 용량을 줄이도록 설계하였다. 본 논문에서 제시한 모듈은 블루투스 표준안 버전 1.1에 근거하여 구현하였으며 시뮬레이션 및 테스트는 Xilinx FPGA를 이용하여 검증하였다.

This paper proposes a testable design method of PLA's with low overhead and high fault coverage for multiple faults. Only a shift register and control input of 2-bit decoder are used for extra hardware. By using a control input, the bit lines are controlled effectively. As the fault model, bridging faults and multiple faults of different fault models are particularly considered. 'Fault equivalence relation' and 'dominant faults' are defined to be used for detection of multiple faults. Also, an eadily testable folded PLA by this method is described.

Stream cipher was worse than block cipher in terms of security, but faster in execution speed as an advantage. However, since so far there have been many algorithm researches about the execution speed of block cipher, these days, there is almost no difference between them in the execution speed of AES. Therefore an secure and fast stream cipher development is urgently needed. In this paper, we propose a 32bit output fast stream cipher, AA32, which is composed of ASR(Arithmetic Shifter Register) and simple logical operation. Proposed algorithm is a cipher algorithm which has been designed to be implemented by software easily. AA32 supports 128bit key and executes operations by word and byte unit. As Linear Feedback Sequencer, ASR 151bit is applied to AA32 and the reduction function is a very simple structure stream cipher, which consists of two major parts, using simple logical operations, instead of S-Box for a non-linear operation. The proposed stream cipher AA32 shows the result that it is faster than SSC2 and Salsa20 and satisfied with the security required for these days. Proposed cipher algorithm is a fast stream cipher algorithm which can be used in the field which requires wireless internet environment such as mobile phone system and real-time processing such as DRM(Digital Right Management) and limited computational environments such as WSN(Wireless Sensor Network).

A LFSR is commonly used for various stream cryptography applications to generate random numbers. A Leap-ahead LFSR was presented to generate a multi-bits random number per cycle. It only requires a single LFSR and it has an advantages in hardware complexity. However, it suffers from the significant reduction of maximum period of the generated random numbers. This paper presents the new segmented Leap-ahead LFSR to solve this problem. It consists of two segmented LFSRs. We prove the efficiency of the proposed segmented architecture using the precise mathematical analysis. We also demonstrate the proposed comparison results with other counterparts using Xinilx Vertex5 FPGA. The proposed architecture can increase 2.5 times of the maximum period of generated random numbers compared to the typical Leap-ahead architecture.

A low power consumption scan driver using depletion-mode n-type InGaZnO thin-film transistors is proposed. The proposed circuit uses 2 clock signals and generates the non-overlap output signals without the additional masking signals and circuits. The power consumption of the proposed circuit is decreased by reducing the number of the clock signals and short circuit current. The simulation results show that the proposed circuit operates successfully when the threshold voltage of TFT is varied from -3.0V to 1.0V. The proposed scan driver consumes 4.89mW when the positive and negative supply voltage is 15V and -5V, respectively, and the operating frequency is 46KHz on the XGA resolution panel.

In this paper, we present a design of PWM-controlled driving device for backlights in LED systems. The system can control either the brightness of the entire screen of backlights of LCD driven by LED or illumination or contrast of each partial segment of the entire screen. The PWM-controlled driving device includes the shift register that shifts the series data according to the clock signal prior to the generation of parallel data. It is also is comprised of a number of registers, a number of counters, a number of comparators, and a number of synchronizing gates (producing the PWM-controlled signals). The proposed device for backlights in LED systems can generate the PWM-controlled signal with a high degree of resolution without the increase of clock frequency. It also contains the PWM-controlled circuit that disperses and restrains the quantized noise.

Multi-Channel Switch ICs for IoT have integrated several solid state structure low ON-resistance bi-directional relay MOS switches with level shifter to drive high voltage and they should be independently controlled by external serialized logic control. These devices are designed for using in applications requiring high-voltage switching control by low-voltage control signals, such as medical ultra-sound imaging, ink-jet printer control, bare board open/short and leakage test system using Kelvin 4-terminal measurement method. This paper describes implementation of analog switch control block and its verification using Field programmable Gate Array (FPGA) test pattern generation. Each block has been implemented using Verilog hardware description language then simulated by Modelsim and prototyped in a FPGA board. Compare to conventional IC, The proposed architecture can be applied to fields where multiple entities need to be controlled simultaneously in the IoT environment and the proposed pattern generation method can be applied to test similar types of ICs.

The shrinking generator which is one of clock-controlled generator is a very simple generator with good cryptographic properties. A nonlinear sequence generator based on two 90/150 maximum length cellular automata can generate pseudorandom sequences at each cell of cellular automata whose characteristic polynomials are same. The nonlinear sequence generated by cellular automata has a larger period and a higher linear complexity than shrunken sequence generated by LFSRs. In this paper we analyze shrunken-interleaved sequence based on 90/150 maximum length cellular automata. We show that the sequence generated by nonlinear sequence generator based on cellular automata belongs to the class of interleaved sequence. And we give an effective algorithm for reconstructing unknown bits of output sequence based on intercepted keystream bits.
