This paper proposes a testable design method of PLA's with low overhead and high fault coverage for multiple faults. Only a shift register and control input of 2-bit decoder are used for extra hardware. By using a control input, the bit lines are controlled effectively. As the fault model, bridging faults and multiple faults of different fault models are particularly considered. 'Fault equivalence relation' and 'dominant faults' are defined to be used for detection of multiple faults. Also, an eadily testable folded PLA by this method is described.

Generally, we employ FSMs for the design of controllers in digital systems. FSMs are Implemented with state diagrams generated from control flow. With HDL, we design and verify FSMs based on state diagrams. As the number of states in the system increases, the verification or modification processes become complicated, error prone and time consuming. In this paper, we propose a control flow oriented hardware description language at the register transfer level called Cycle-C. Cycle-C describes FSMs with timing information and control How intensive algorithms. The Cycle-C description is automatically converted into FSMs in the form of synthesizable RTL VHDL. In experiments, we design FSMs for control intensive interface circuits. There is little area difference between Cycle-C design and manual design. In addition, Cycle-C design needs only 10~50% of the number lines of manual RTL VHDL designs.

This paper proposes a digitally controlled buck converter insensitive to process, voltage and temperature and capable of three modes of operation depending on the state of the output voltage. Conventional digital-controlled buck converters utilized A/D converters, counters and delay line circuits for accurate output voltage control, resulting in increasing the number of counter and delay line bits. This problem can be resolved by employing the 8-bit and 16-bit bidirectional shift registers, and this design technique leads a buck converter to be able to control duty ratio up to 128-bit resolution. The proposed buck converter was designed and fabricated with a CMOS 180 nano-meter 1-poly 6-metal process, generating an output voltage of 0.9 to 1.8V with the input voltage range of 2.7V to 3.6V, a ripple voltage of 30mV, and a power efficiency of up to 92.3%. The transient response speed of the proposed circuit was measured to be 4us.

This paper describes radix-4 Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) Processor designed with the new twice perfect shuffle developed from a perfect shuffle used in radix-2 FFT algorithm. The FFT Processor consists of a butterfly arithmetic circuit, address generators for input, output and coefficient, input and output registers and controller. Also, it requires the external ROM for storage of coefficient and RAM for input and output. The butterfly circuit includes 12 bit-serial ($16{\times}8$) multipliers, adders, subtractors and delay shift registers. Operating on 25 MHz two phase clock, this processor can compute 256 point FFT in 6168 clocks, i.e. 247 us and provides flexibility by allowing the user to select any size among 4,16,64,and256points. Being fabricated with 2-um double metal CMOS process, it includes about 28000 transistors and 55 pads in $8.0{\times}8.2mm^2$area.

A digital memory has been widely used as a device for storing information due to its reliable, fast and relatively simple control circuit. However, the storage of the digital memory will be limited by the inablility to make smaller linewidths. One way to dramatically increase the storeage capability of the memory is to change the type of stored data from digital to analog. The analog memory fabricated in a standard single poly 0.6um CMOS process has been developed. Single cell and adjacent circuit block for programming have been designed and characterized. Applications include low-density non-volatile memory, control of redundancy in SRAM and DRAM memories, ID or security code registers, and image and sound memory.

블루투스 전송 기술은 2.4㎓ 의 ISM(Industrial Scientific Medicine)밴드에서 주파수 호핑 방식을 사용한다. 주파수 호핑율은 연결 상태에서 초당 1600회, 조회 또는 호출 상태에서 초당 3200회의 호핑을 한다. Hop 채널 선택은 블루투스 표준안에서 제시한 5개의 호핑 시퀸스 중 하나를 선택하고 호핑 주파수에 따라 이를 매핑 함으로써 이루어진다. 본 논문에서는 6개의 상태에 따라 다르게 실행되는 채널 계산을 효율적으로 제어하고 필요한 연산모듈의 수를 줄이기 위해 9비트 프로세서를 이용해 Hop 선택 모듈을 설계하고 구현한다. 설계된 모듈은 레지스터 파일, 마이크로프로그램 제어장치, 가산, 치환(permutation), Modulo 계산을 위한 3개의 연산장치로 구성된다. Hop 채널 계산 중 가장 클럭 소요가 큰 Modulo 연산은 SRT나눗셈 알고리즘을 사용하여 음수 값 계산 및 연산 속도 향상을 꾀하였다. 제시된 Hop 선택 모듈은 하드웨어 묘사언어인 VHDL로 설계하고 시뮬레이션 및 테스트는 Xilinx FPGA를 이용해 검증하였다.

본 논문에서는 명령어의 효율적인 페치를 위해 분기 타겟 주소 전체를 사용하지 않고 캐쉬 메모리(cache memory) 내의 적은 비트 수로 인덱싱 하여 한 클럭 사이클 안에 최대 4개의 명령어를 다음 파이프라인으로 보내줄 수 있는 방법을 제시한다. 본 프리페치 유닛은 크게 나누어 3개의 영역으로 나눌 수 있는데, 분기에 관련하여 미리 부분적으로 명령어를 디코드 하는 프리디코드(predecode) 블록, 타겟 주소(NTA : Next Target Address) 테이블 영역을 추가시킨 명령어 캐쉬(instruction cache) 블록, 전체 유닛을 제어하고 가상 주소를 관리하는 프리페치(prefetch) 블록으로 나누어진다. 사용된 명령어들은 SPARC(Scalable Processor ARChitecture) V9에 기준 하였고 구현은 Verilog-HDL(Hardwave Description Language)을 사용하여 기능 수준으로 기술되고 검증되었다. 구현된 프리페치 유닛은 명령어 흐름에 분기가 존재하더라도 단일 사이클 안에 4개까지의 명령어들을 정확한 예측 하에 다음 파이프라인으로 보내줄 수 있다. 또한 NTA를 사용한 방법은 같은 수의 레지스터 비트를 사용하였을 때 BTB(Branch Target Buffer)를 사용하는 방법과 비교하여 2배정도 많은 개수의 분기 명령 주소를 저장할 수 있는 장점이 있다.
