For proper communication with various types of IC-Card, multiple IC-Card interface complying with the IC-Card standard (ISO7816) is embedded and realized as a peripheral on the 32-bit RISC based system-on-a-chip. It provides the generation of either 3.3V or 5V power supply for the operation of the inserted IC-Card as well. IC-Card interface is divided into an analog front-end (AFE) and a digital back-end (DBE). The embedded DC-DC converters suitable for driving IC-Cards are incorporated in the AFE. The chip design for multiple IC-Card interface is implemented on a standard 0.35${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ triple-metal double-poly CMOS process and is packaged in a 352-pin plastic ball grid array (PBGA). The total gate count is about 400,000, excluding the internal memory. Die area is 7890${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ $\times$ 7890${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$.

There are 70 vertical and 70 horizontal correctors for Pohang Light Source. Until mid of 2000, power supplies for these correctors were based on 1990's technology, so the global orbit feedback system was not possible with poor 12 bit resolution. A new task force team was assembled to develop new power supplies with BESSY type DAC cards. After the project, two vertical correctors in each lattice were connected with new power supplies, and the global orbit feedback was available within the accuracy of 5 microns. However, this replacement was not enough to satisfy the beam stability requirement of 2 microns for PLS. We have launched another power supply design based on all digital technology. This attempt was completed within a year, and 80 units were assembled in house. Currently, the global orbit feedback system is running successfully with new digital power supplies and the compensation of chamber motion due to the thermal load by using digital displacement transducers attached on each BPMs.

Time synchronization between distributed embedded systems in the Real Time Locating System (RTLS) based on Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) is one of the most important factors to consider in system design. Clock jitter error between each system causes many difficulties in maintaining such a time synchronization. In this paper, we implemented a system to synchronize clocks between FPGA based distributed embedded systems using the recovery clock of CDR (clock data recovery) used in high speed serial communication to solve the clock jitter error problem. It is experimentally confirmed that the cumulative time error that occurs when the synchronization is not performed through the synchronization logic using the CDR recovery clock can be completely eliminated.

In this paper, a time-delayed controller for position control of humanoid robot arms is designed and implemented on a field programmable gate array(FPGA) chip. The time-delayed control algorithm is simple to implement, and robust to reject disturbances. The time-delayed control method uses the one sample time-delayed previous information to cancel out uncertainties in the system. Since the sampling time is so fast with the current hardware technology, the time-delayed controller can be implemented. However, inertia values should be correctly estimated to have the better performance. The position tracking tasks of humanoid robot arms are tested to compare performances of several control algorithms including the time-delayed controller.

A new partitioning algorithm has been developed to implement a large circuit by using multiple field programmable gate array (FPGA) chips. While the conventional partitioning is to minimze the number of nets cut under size constraints, partitioning for multiple FPGAs has several additional constraints so that each partitioned subcircuit can be implemented in a FPGA chip. To obtain satisfactory results under the constraints, the partitioning is performed in two steps whhich are the intial partitioning for global optimization and the iterative partitioning improvements for constraint satisfaction. Experismental results using the MCNC benchmark examples show that our partition method produces better results thatn those of other recent approaches on the average.

The wavelet transform chip is implemented with Daubechies' 4 tap filter. It works at 20MHz in Field Programmable Gate array (FPGA) implementation of Quadrature Mirror Filter(QMF) Lattice Structure. In this paper, the structure contains taro-channel quadrature mirror filter, data format converter(DFC), delay control unit(DCU), and three 20$\times$8 bits real multiplier. The structures for the DFC and DCU need to he regular and scalable, require minimum number of regular, and thereby lead to an efficient and scalable architecture for the Discrete Wavelet Transform(DWT). These results present the possibility that it can be used in Digital Signal Processing(DSP) application faster than Fourier transform at small area with lour cost.

This paper implements mobile Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) receiver using Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology. SDR system is difficult to implement on the mobile handset because of restrictions that are computing power and under space constraints. The implemented receiver processes mobile WiMAX software modem on Open Multimedia Application Platform (OMAP) System on Chip (SoC) and Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). OMAP SoC is composed of ARM processor and Digital Signal Processor (DSP). ARM processor supports Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) instruction which could operate on a vector of data with a single instruction and DSP is powerful image and video accelerators. For this reason, we suggest the possibility of SDR technology in the mobile handset. In order to verify the performance of the mobile WiMAX receiver, we measure the software modem runtime respectively. The experimental results show that the proposed receiver is able to do real-time signal processing.

In this paper, we propose a vision system using a field programmable gate array(FPGA) and a smart vision chip. The output of the vision chip is varied by illumination conditions. This chip is suitable as a surveillance system in a dynamic environment. However, because the output swing of a smart vision chip is too small to definitely confirm the warning signal with the FPGA, a modification was needed for a reliable signal. The proposed system is based on a transmission control protocol/internet protocol(TCP/IP) that enables monitoring from a remote place. The warning signal indicates that some objects are too near.

In the three-axis control of satellites by using on-board actuators, gyros are usually used to measure the attitude angles and angular rates. The gyros are operated by electronic parts and mechanical actuators. The digital components of the electronic parts consist of largely FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) as one of the methods for VLSI(Very Large Scale Integrated) circuit design, while the mechanical parts provide output signal directly by mechanical actuation of a spinning rotor. In this research, a mixed mode of gyro is implemented in FGA. In addition to the hardware implementation, the simulation study was conducted by using the SABER for the mixed mode simulator. Results for the practical implementation of the satellite ACS (Attitude Control System) interfaced with the data processing are also presented to validate the FPGA implementation.
