본 논문에서는 저면적 64bit MTP IP를 설계하였다. 저면적 설계기술로는 MTP cell의 inhibit voltage를 기존의 VPP/3과 VNN/3 전압 대신 모두 0V를 사용하므로 VPPL(=VPP/3) regulator 회로와 VNNL(VNN/3) charge pump 회로를 제거하였다. 그리고 external pad를 이용하여 VPP program voltage를 forcing하므로 VPP charge pump 회로를 제거하였다. 또한 VNN charge pump는 VPP 전압을 이용하여 1-stage negative charge pump 회로로 pumping해서 -VPP의 전압을 공급하도록 설계를 하였다. 설계된 64bit MTP IP size는 $377.585{\mu}m{\times}328.265{\mu}m$(=0.124mm2)이며, DC-DC converter관련 layout size는 기존의 회로 대비 76.4%를 줄였다.

본 논문에서는 back-gate bias 전압인 VNN (Negative Voltage)을 이용하여 5V의 MV (Medium Voltage) 소자만 이용하여 FN (Fowler-Nordheim) tunneling 방식으로 write하는 MTP cell을 사용하여 512비트 MTP IP를 설계하였다. 사용된 MTP cell은 CG(Control Gate) capacitor, TG(Tunnel Gate) transistor와 select transistor로 구성되어 있다. MTP cell size를 줄이기 위해 TG transistor와 select transistor를 위한 PW(P-Well)과 CG capacitor를 위한 PW 2개만 사용하였으며, DNW(Deep N-Well)은 512bit MTP cell array에 하나만 사용하였다. 512비트 MTP IP 설계에서는 BGR을 이용한 voltage regulator에 의해 regulation된 V1V (=1V)의 전압을 이용하여 VPP와 VNN level detector를 설계하므로 PVT variation에 둔감한 ${\pm}8V$의 pumping 전압을 공급할 수 있는 VPP와 VNN 발생회로를 제안하였다.

차량용 반도체에서 사용되는 BCD 공정 기반의 PMIC 칩은 아날로그 회로를 트리밍하기 위해 추가 마스크가 필요없는 MTP(Multi-Time Programmable) IP(Intellectual Property)를 요구한다. 본 논문에서는 저면적 MTP IP 설계를 위해 2개의 트랜지스터와 1개의 MOS 커패시터를 갖는 single poly EEPROM 셀인 MTP 셀에서 NCAP(NMOS Capacitor) 대신 PCAP(PMOS Capacitor)을 사용한 MTP 셀을 사용하여 MTP 셀 사이즈를 18.4% 정도 줄였다. 그리고 MTP IP 회로 설계 관점에서 MTP IP 설계의 CG 구동회로와 TG 구동회로에 2-stage voltage shifter 회로를 적용하였고, DC-DC 변환기 회로의 면적을 줄이기 위해 전하 펌핑 방식을 사용하는 VPP(=7.75V), VNN(=-7.75V)와 VNNL(=-2.5V) 전하 펌프 회로에서 각각의 전하 펌프마다 별도로 두고 있는 ring oscillator 회로를 하나만 둔 회로를 제안하였으며, VPPL(=2.5V)은 전하펌프 대신 voltage regulator 회로를 사용하는 방식을 제안하였다. 180nm BCD 공정 기반으로 설계된 4Kb MTP IP 사이즈는 0.493mm²이다.

Structural health monitoring (SHM) is an application area of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) which usually needs high data communication rate to transfer a large amount of monitoring data. Traditional sink node can only process data from one communication channel at the same time because of the single radio chip structure. The sink node constitutes a bottleneck for constructing a high data rate SHM application giving rise to a long data transfer time. Multi-channel communication has been proved to be an efficient method to improve the data throughput by enabling parallel transmissions among different frequency channels. This paper proposes an 8-radio integrated sink node design method based on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and the time synchronization mechanism for the multi-channel network based on the proposed sink node. Three experiments have been performed to evaluate the data transfer ability of the developed multi-radio sink node and the performance of the time synchronization mechanism. A high data throughput of 1020Kbps of the developed sink node has been proved by experiments using IEEE.805.15.4.

Time-to-digital converters (TDCs) based on the tapped delay line (TDL) architecture have been widely used in various applications requiring a precise time measurement. However, the poor uniformity of the propagation delays in the TDL implemented on FPGA leads to bubble error and large nonlinearity of the TDC. The purpose of this study was to develop an advanced TDC architecture capable of minimizing the bubble errors and improving the linearity. To remove the bubble errors, the decimated delay line (DDL) architecture was implemented on the UltraScale + FPGA; meanwhile, to improve the linearity of the TDC, a histogram uniformization (HU) and multi-chain TDL (MCT) methods were developed and implemented on the FPGA. The integral nonlinearities (INLs) and differential nonlinearities (DNLs) of the plain TDCs with the 'HU method' (HU TDC) and with 'both HU and MCT methods' (HU-MCT TDC) were measured and compared to those of the TDC with 'DDL alone' (plain TDC). The linearity of HU-MCT TDC were superior to those of the plain TDC and HU TDC. The experiment results indicated that HU-MCT TDC developed in this study was useful for improving the linearity of the TDC, which allowed for high timing resolution to be achieved.

An optic module system is developed adopting multiple colorimetry units for the measurement of multi-pad urinalysis dipsticks. Multiple photometry system instead of moving mechanisms has the advantages of system reliability and simplicity as well as economic aspects due to the recent development of economic color light emitting diodes and stable photo sensors. An integration amplifier with programmable integration time, a current source circuit with selectable and stable current settings were connected through analog multiplexers to thirty light emitting diodes for illumination and ten photo transistors for reading each strip pad. All the circuits are controlled by a microprocessor through a simple set of serial communication commands. The detect ability is eighteen times better than the minimum color difference of the test grading which is 0.013 in urobilinogen in the color space defined in this paper.

Nowadays, various speech processing systems are being introduced in the fields of robotics. However, real-time processing and high performances are required to properly implement speech processing system for the autonomous robots. Achieving these goals requires advanced hardware techniques including intelligent software algorithms. For example, we need nonlinear amplifier boards which are able to adjust the compression radio (CR) via computer programming. And the necessity for noise reduction, double-buffering on EPLD (Erasable programmable logic device), simultaneous multi-channel AD conversion, distant sound localization will be explained in this paper. These ideas can be used to improve distant and omni-directional speech recognition. This speech processing system, based on embedded Linux system, is supposed to be mounted on the new home service robot, which is being developed at KIST (Korea Institute of Science and Technology)

The application of time-domain methods in emission measurement instruments allows for a reduction in scan time by several orders of magnitude and for new evaluation methods to be realized such as the real-time spectrogram to characterize transient emissions. In this paper two novel systems for time-domain EMI measurements above 1 GHz are presented. The first system combines ultra-fast analog-to-digital-conversion and real-time digital signal processing on a field-programmable-gate-array (FPGA) with ultra-broadband multi-stage down-conversion to enable measurements in the range from 10 Hz to 26 GHz with high sensitivity and full-compliance with the requirements of CISPR 16-1-1. The required IF bandwidths were added to allow for measurements according to MIL-461F and DO-160F. The second system realizes a system of time-interleaved analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and has an upper bandwidth limit of 4 GHz. With the implementation of an automatic mismatch calibration, the system fulfills CISPR 16-1-1 dynamic range requirements. Measurements of the radiated emissions of electronic consumer devices and household appliances like the non-stationary emissions of a microwave oven are presented. A measurement of a personal computer's conducted emissions on a power supply line according to DO-160F is given.
