We implemented a CD signal processor operated on a CAV 48-speed CD-ROM drive into a VLSI. The CD signal processor is a mixed mode monolithic IC including servo-processor, data recovery, data-processor, and I-bit DAC. For servo signal processing, we included a DSP core, while, for CAV mode playback, we adopted a PLL with a wide recovery range. Data processor (DP) was designed to meet the yellow book specification.［2］So, the DP block consists of EFM demodulator, C1/C2 ECC block, audio processor and a block transferring data to an ATAPI chip. A modified Euclid's algorithm was used as a key equation solver for the ECC block To achieve the high-speed decoding, the RS decoder is operated by a pipelined method. Audio playability is increased by playing a CD-DA disc at the speed of 12X or 16X. For this, subcode sync and data are processed in the same way as main data processing. The overall performance of IC is verified by measuring a transfer rate from the innermost area of disc to the outermost area. At 48-speed, the operating frequency is 210 ㎒, and this chip is fabricated by 0.35 um STD90 cell library of Samsung Electronics.

This paper presents a CMOS TIQ flash A/D converter which operates very fast compared to other types of A/D converters due to its parallel architecture. The output resolution of designed A/D converter is 6-bit. In order to reduce the power consumption and chip area of conventional flash A/D converter, TIQ based flash A/D converter is proposed, which uses the advantage of the structure of CMOS transistors. The length and width of transistors of TIQ were determined with HSPICE simulation. To speed up the ultra-high speed flash A/D converter, the Fat Tree Encoder technique is used. The TIQ A/D converter was designed with full custom method. The chip's maximum power consumption was 38.45mW at 1.8V, and the operating speed of simulation was 2.7 GSPS.

This paper proposes an advanced circuit for the capacitive type fingerprint sensor signal processing and an effective isolation structure for minimizing an electrostatic discharge(ESD) influence and for removing a signal coupling noise of each sensor pixel. The proposed detection circuit increases the voltage difference between a ridge and valley about $80\%$ more than old circuit. The test chip is composed of $160\;\times\;192$ array sensing cells $(9,913\times11,666\;um^2).$ The sensor plate area is $58\;\times\;58\;um^2$ and the pitch is 60um. The image resolution is 423 dpi. The chip was fabricated on a 0.35um standard CMOS process. It successfully captured a high-quality fingerprint image and performed the registration and identification processing. The sensing and authentication time is 1 sec(.) with the average power consumption of 10 mW at 3.0V. The reveal ESD tolerance is obtained at the value of 4.5 kV.

This paper presents an improved VLSI implementation of a parallel sorter to achieve O(Ν) time complexity. Many fast VLSI sort algorithms have been proposed for sorting N elements in O(log Ν) time. However, most such algorithms proposed have complex network structure without considering data input and output time. They are also very difficult to expand or to use in real applications. After analyzing the chip area and time complexity of several parallel sort algorithms with overlapping data input and output time, the most effective algorithm, the rebound sort algorithm, is implemented in VLSI with some improvements. To achieve O(Ν) time complexity, an improved rebound sorter is able to sort 8 16-bits records on a chip. And it is possible to sort more than 8 records by connecting chips in a chain vertically.

In order to make cognitive radio systems a practical technology to be deployed in real-world scenarios, the core Software Defined Radio (SDR) systems must meet the stringent requirements of the target application, especially in terms of performance and energy consumption for mobile platforms. In this paper we present a feasibility study of hardware acceleration as an energy-efficient implementation for SDR. We identified the amplifier function from the Software Communication Architecture (SCA) for hardware acceleration since it is one of the functions called for most frequently and it requires intensive floating-point computation. Then, we used the Virtex5 Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) to perform a comparison between compiler floating-point support and the on-chip floating-point support. By enabling the on-chip floating-point unit (FPU), we obtained as high as a 2X speedup and 50% of the overall energy reduction. We achieved this with an increase of the power consumption by no more than 0.68%. This demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed approach.

This paper proposes efficient digital hardware design method by using fixed weight of pre-trained neural network. For this, arithmetic operations of PEs(Processing Elements) are represented with matrix-vector multiplication. The relationship of fixed weight and input data present bit-level array structure architecture which is consisted operation node. To minimize the operation node, this paper proposes node elimination method and setting common node depend on bit pattern of weight. The result of FPGA simulation shows the efficiency on hardware cost and operation speed with full precision. And proposed design method makes possibility that many PEs are implemented to on-chip.

When 20MHz was used as the input clock, data arrival time was 29.20ns and data require time was 48.70ns.

MCM-ERC32 는 우주 환경에서 동작하는 시스템에 사용할 목적으로 유럽에서 개발된 집약 프로세서 모듈이다. MCM (Multi Chip Module)은 크게 ERC32 single chip 과 VASI (Very Advanced Sparc Interface) 및 6MByte 의 SRAM, 32MByte 의 DRAM 으로 구성되어 있다. VASI 의 경우 각종 I/O 처리 및 timer 의 기능을 수행하며 특히 VASI RTC 의 경우 VASI cycle, slot 을 이용하여 다양한 형태의 timer 구현이 가능하다. Timer 의 경우 각종 태스크의 관리와 스케줄링에 사용되는 가장 기본적이며 매우 중요한 요소이다. 위성의 고유 시간 역시 timer 를 활용하여 설계하게 되는데 이 부분이 잘 구현 되어야 정확한 임무 수행 및 위성의 제어가 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 VASI RTC 의 구조와 기능에 대해 설명하고 이를 위성의 고유 시간 운영에 적용하는 방법에 대해 다루도록 하겠다.
