Design verification of VHDL models is getting difficult and has become a critical and time-consuming process in hardware design. Recent]y the methods using Bayesian estimation and stopping rule have been introduced to verify behavioral models and to reduce clock cycles. This paper presents two strategies to reduce clock cycles when using stopping rule in a VHDL model verification. The first method is that a semi-random variable is defined and the data that stay in the range of semi-random variable are skipped when stopping rule is running. The second one is to keep the old values of parameters when phases of stopping rule are changed. 12 VHDL models are examined to observe the effectiveness of strategies, and the simulation results show that more than about 25% of clock cycles is reduced by using the two proposed strategies with 0.6% losses of branch coverage rate.

Summation generator with high period and high linear complexity can be easily implemented by a simple hardware or software and it is proper to apply in mobile security system for ubiquitous environments. However the generator has been some weaknesses from Dawson's divided-and-conquer attack, Golic's correlation attack and Meier's fast correlation attack. In this paper, we propose an improved version($2^{128}$security level) of $E_0$algorithm, CVC-NSG(Circular-Clock-Controlled - Nonlinear Summation Generator), which partially replaces LFSRs with nonlinear FSRs and controls the irregular clock to reinforce it's own weaknesses. Finally, we analyze our proposed design in terms of security and performance.

LILI-128 스트림 암호는 IMT-2000 무선단말간 데이터 암호화를 위하여 제안된 128-비트 크기의 스트림 암호방식이며, 클럭 조절형태의 채택에 따라 속도저하라는 구조적인 문제점을 안고 있다. 본 논문에서는 귀환/이동에 있어서 랜덤한 4개의 연결 경로를 갖는 4-비트병렬 $LFSR_{d}$를 제안함으로서 속도문제를 해결하였다. 그리고 ALTERA 사의 FPGA 소자(EPF10K20RC240-3)를 선정하여 그래픽/VHDL 하드웨어 구현 및 타이밍 시뮬레이션을 실시하였으며, 50MHz 시스템 클럭에서 안정적인 50Mbps (즉, 45 Mbps 수준인 T3급 이상, 설계회로의 최대 지연 시간이 20ns 이하인 조건) 출력 수열이 발생될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 마지막으로, FPGA/VHDL 설계회로를 Lucent ASIC 소자 ($LV160C,\;0.13{\mu}m\;CMOS\;&\;1.5v\;technology$)로 설계 변환 및 타이밍 시뮬레이션한 결과 최대 지연시간이 1.8ns 이하였고, 500 Mbps 이상의 고속화가 가능함을 확인하였다.

The 1Gbps clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit using the proposed multi-point phase detector (PD) is presented. The proposed phase detector generates up/down signals comparing 3-point that is data transition point and clock rising/falling edge. The conventional PD uses the pulse width modulation (PWM) that controls the voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) using the width of a pulse period's multiple. However, the proposed PD uses the pulse number modulation (PNM) that regulates the VCO with the number of half clock cycle pulse. Therefore the proposed PD can controls VCO preciously and reduces the jitter. The CDR circuit is tested using 1Gbps $2^{31}-1$ pseudo random bit sequence (PRBS) input data. The designed CDR circuit shows that is capable of recovering clock and data at rates of 1Gbps. The recovered clock jitter is 7.36ps at 1GHz and the total power consumption is about 12mW. The proposed circuit is implemented using a 0.18um CMOS process under 1.8V supply.

Since the LILI-128 cipher is a clock-controlled keystream generator, the speed of the keystream data is degraded in a clock-synchronized hardware logic design. Basically, the clock-controlled $LFSR_d$ in the LILI-128 cipher requires a system clock that is 1 ~4 times higher. Therefore, if the same clock is selected, the system throughput of the data rate will be lowered. Accordingly, this paper proposes a 4-bit parallel $LFSR_d$, where each register bit includes four variable data routines for feed feedback of shifting within the $LFSR_d$ . Furthermore, the timing of the propose design is simulated using a $Max^+$plus II from the ALTERA Co., the logic circuit is implemented for an FPGA device (EPF10K20RC240-3), and the throughput stability is analyzed up to a late of 50 Mbps with a 50MHz system clock. (That is higher than the 73 late at 45 Mbps, plus the maximum delay routine in the proposed design was below 20ns.) Finally, we translate/simulate our FPGA/VHDL design to the Lucent ASIC device( LV160C, 0.13 $\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS & 1.5v technology), and it could achieve a throughput of about 500 Mbps with a 0.13$\mu\textrm{m}$ semiconductor for the maximum path delay below 1.8ns.

In this paper, the PLL driven by the DDFS is designed on the schematic using the Q-logic cell based library and is implemented using FPGA QL32 x16B. The measurement results of the frequency synthesizer switching speed were agreement with a register. The simulated results show that the clock delay was generated after eleven clock and if input is random, It has influence on output DA converter has to be very extensive. Therefore, the DDFS used noise shaper to drive PLL by regular interval for input state. Also the bandwidth of DA converter very extensive, the simulation shows that the variation of small input control word is better than the switching speed of PLL.

The PLL synthesizer is used often in communication system due to several merits, such as broad bandwidth, high accuracy and stability of frequency. But it is difficult to use in current digital communication systems that need frequency hopping at a high speed because of its long frequency hopping time. In this paper, we designed frequency synthesizer that generate the clock frequency randomly at a high speed using the DDS technology and is applied to the pattern generator systemfor for digital image.

Side channel attacks are well known as one of the most powerful physical attacks against low-power cryptographic devices and do not take into account of the target's theoretical security. As an important succeeding factor in side channel attacks (specifically in DPAs), exact time-axis alignment methods are used to overcome misalignments caused by trigger jittering, noise and even some countermeasures intentionally applied to defend against side channel attacks such as random clock generation. However, the currently existing alignment methods consider only on the position of signals on time-axis, which is ineffective for certain countermeasures based on time-axis misalignments. This paper proposes a new signal alignment method based on interpolation and decimation techniques. Our proposal can align the size as well as the signals' position on time-axis. The validity of our proposed method is then evaluated experimentally with a smart card chip, and the results demonstrated that the proposed method is more efficient than the existing alignment methods.

This paper presents an efficient hardware architecture of frame memory interface in MPEG-2 video encoder. To reduce the size of memory buffers between SDRAM and the frame memory module, the number of clocks needed for each memory access is minimized with dual bank operation and burst length change. By allocating the remaining cycles not used by SDRAM access, to the random access cycle, the internal buffer size, the data bus width, and the size of the control logic can be minimized. The proposed architecture is operated with 54MHz clock and designed with the VT $I^{тм}$ 0.5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS TLM standard cell library. It is verified by comparing the test vectors generated by the c-code model with the simulation results of the synthesized circuit. The buffer area of the proposed architecture is reduced to 40 % of the existing architecture.
