The proposed CMOS Quadrature VCO for WLAN application was designed in TSMC $0.18\;{\mu}m$ RF CMOS technology. The QVCO based on NMOS back-gate as a coupling transistor and switched capacitors array without tail transistors is designed to generate quadrature output signals. The simulated results show that the QVCO core consumed 3.67 mA and 6.6 mW from a 1.8 V supply. The QVCO is tunable between $4.76\;GHz\;{\sim}\;6.35\;GHz$ and has a phase noise lower than -116.8 ㏈c/Hz at 1 MHz offset over the entire tuning range

The complexity of image compression algorithms has increased in order to improve image compression efficiency. One way to resolve high computational complexity is parallel processing. However, entropy coding, which is lossless compression, does not fit into the parallel processing form because of the correlation between consecutive symbols. This paper proposes a new application-specific instruction set processor (ASIP) platform by adding new context-adaptive binary arithmetic coding (CABAC) instructions to the existing platform to quickly process a variety of entropy coding. The newly added instructions work without conflicts with all other existing instructions of the platform, providing the flexibility to handle many coding standards with fast processing speeds. CABAC software is implemented for High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) and the performance of the proposed ASIP platform was verified with a field programmable gate array simulation.

In this paper, the method of controlling the clock that is inputted on the hardware from the application, and the hardware design method are to be proposed. When the hardware is synthesized to the Field Programmable Gate Array(FPGA), the input clock is fixed, and when the input clock is changed, the synthesis process must be passed again to require more time. To solve this problem, the Mixed-Mode Clock Manager(MMCM) module is mounted to control the MMCM module from the application. The controlled MMCM module controls the input clock of the module. The experiment was process the Neural Network algorithm in the x86 CPU and SIMT based processor mounted the FPGA. The results of the experiment, SIMT-based processors, the time that is processed at a frequency of 50MHz was 77ms, 100MHz was 34ms. There was no additional synthesis time due to a change of the clock frequency.

In this paper, a digital signal processing circuit for Position Sensitive Detectors(PSDs) is introduced to substitute the conventional analog signal processing circuit and to compensate disadvantages of the PSD. In general, the analog circuits have the problems such as noise accumulation, sensitivity for environmental changes, and high cost for manufacturing. Moreover, the intrinsic nonlinearity problem of the PSD makes it hard to measure the position accurately because it is difficult to be overcome the problem by using the conventional analog circuits, which can be solved by using the digital signal processing circuit. The circuit is implemented by using a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The Pulse Amplitude Modulation(PAM) method is used for reducing the environmental noise effect, and a linear interpolation logic is used to compensate the ...

A biped robot should be designed to be an effective mechanical structure and have smaller hardware system if it is to be a stand-alone structure. This paper shows the design methodology of a biped robot controller using FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array). A hardware system consists of DSP(Digital Signal Processor) as the main CPU, and FPGA as the motor controller. By using FPGA, more flexible hardware system has been achieved, and more compact and simple controller has been designed.

Application of electronic nose and PLD chip design was developed to be used in gas discrimination system for limited kinds of gas. An array of 4 metal oxide gas sensors with different selectivity patterns were used in order to measure gases. BP(Back Propagation) algorithm was designed and implemented on CPLD of two hundred thousand gate level chips by VHDL language for processing input signals from 4 kinds of gas sensors. This module successfully discriminated 4 kinds of gases and displayed the results on LCD and LED. The developed module could be used for various applications in the field of food process control and alcohol judgment.

In this paper, we propose a new architecture of digital automatic gain control (AGC) for a wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) receiver. The feature of the proposed architecture is simplicity, in that it does not utilize complicated mathematical functions such as log and its inverse. When the proposed algorithm is implemented using a field programmable gate array (FPGA) device, the number of slices used to implement is 130 over the total of 5120 slices (less than 3%) with 61.44 ㎒ clock. This algorithm has been successfully applied to commercial WCDMA base stations.

Meta1-ferroelectric-insulator-semiconductor(MFIS) devices using Pt/LiNbO$_{3}$/AIN/Si structure were successfully fabricated. AIN thin films were made into metal-insulator-semiconductor(MIS) devices by evaporating aluminum in a dot array on the film surface. The dielectric constant of the AIN film calculated from the capacitance in the accumulation region in the capacitance-voltage(C-V ) characteristic is 8. The gate leakage current density of MIS devices using a aluminum electrode showed the least value of 1$\times$10$^{-8A}$ $\textrm{cm}^2$ order at the electric field of 500㎸/cm. A typica] value of the dielectric constant of MFIS device was about 23 derived from 1MHz capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurement and the resistivity of the film at the field of 500㎸/cm was about 5.6$\times$ 10$^{13}$ $\Omega$.cmcm

This paper describes a single transistor type ferroelectric field effect transistor (1T FeFET) memory celt scheme which can select one unit memory cell and program/read it. To solve the selection problem of 1T FeEET memory cell array, the row direction common well is electrically isolated from different adjacent row direction column. So, we can control voltage of common well line. By applying bias voltage to Gate and Well, respectively, we can implant IT FeEET memory cell scheme which no interface problem and can bit operation. The results of HSPICE simulations showed the successful operations of the proposed cell scheme.

We have developed an optimization algorithm based formulation for performing efficient time driven simultaneous place and route for FPGAs. Field programmable gate array(FPGAs) provide of drastically reducing the turn-around time for digital ICs, with a relatively small degradation in performance. For a variety of application specific integrated circuit application, where time-to-market is most critical and the performance requirement do not mandate a custom or semicustom approach, FPGAs are an increasingly popular alternative. This has prompted a substantial amount of specialized synthesis and layout research focused on maximizing density, minimizing delay, and minimizing design time.
