In the fast data communication system, synchronized by a clock source, the loss of data will often occur due to several reasons as a differential routing path between data and clock, a differential propagation delay of components or an unstable phase of clock and data by external noise. In this paper, we describe the ASIC implementation of the data compensation circuit which can detect the data loss from above problems and recovery to original data with stable synchronization. Especially it supports a strong stability and a good BER in the communication system for fast data transfer as optic area. This circuit is implemented by Verilog HDL and available to the digital ASIC implementations related to fast data transfer.

A computer clock has limits in accuracy and precision affected by its inherent instability, the environment elements, the modification of users, and errors of the system. So the computer clock needs to be synchronized with a standard clock if the computer system requires the precise time processing. The purpose of synchronizing clocks is to provide a global time base throughout a distributed system. Once this time base exists, transactions among members of distributed system can be controlled based on time. This paper discusses the integrated approach to clock synchronization. An embedded system is considered for time synchronization based on the GPS(Global Positioning System) referenced time distribution model. The system uses GPS as standard reference time source and offers UTC(Universal Time Coordinated) through NTP(Network Time Protocol). A clock model is designed and adapted to keep stable time and to provide accurate standard time with precise resolution. Private MIB(Management Information Base) is defined for network management. Implementation results and performance analysis are also presented.

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.

This paper presents a new dual-loop Delay Locked Loop(DLL) to expand the delay lock range of a conventional DLL. The proposed dual-loop DLL contains a Coarse_loop and a Fine_loop, and its operation utilizes one of the loops selected by comparing the initial time-difference among the reference clock and 2 internal clocks. The 2 internal clock signals are taken, respectively, at the midpoint and endpoint of a VCDL and thus are $180^{\circ}$ separated in phase. When the proposed DLL is out of the conventional lock range, the Coarse_loop is selected to push the DLL in the conventional lock range and then the Fine_loop is used to complete the locking process. Therefore, the proposed DLL is always stably locked in unless it is harmonically false-locked. Since the VCDL employed in the proposed DLL needs two control voltages to adjust the delay time, it uses TG-based inverters, instead of conventional, multi-stacked, current-starved inverters, to compose the delay line. The new VCDL provides a wider delay range than a conventional VCDL In overall, the proposed DLL demonstrates a more than 2 times wider lock range than a conventional DLL. The proposed DLL circuits have been designed, simulated and proved using 0.18um, 1.8V TSMC CMOS library and its operation frequency range is 100MHz${\sim}$1GHz. Finally, the maximum phase error of the DLL locked in at 1GHz is less than 11.2ps showing a high resolution and the simulated power consumption is 11.5mW.

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.

A DDFS(Direct Digital Frequency Synthesizer) used in spread spectrum communication systems must need fast switching speed, high resolution(the step size of the synthesizer), small size and low power. The chip has been designed with four parallel sine look-up table to achieve four times throughput of a single DDFS. To achieve a high processing speed DDFS chip, a 24-bit pipelined CMOS technique has been applied to the phase accumulator design. To reduce the size of the ROM, each sine ROM of the DDFS is stored 0-.pi./2 sine wave data by taking advantage of the fact that only one quadrant of the sine needs to be stored, since the sine the sine has symmetric property. And the 8 bit of phase accumulator's output are used as ROM addresses, and the 2 MSBs control the quadrants to synthesis the sine wave. To compensate the spectrum purity ty phase truncation, the DDFS use a noise shaper that structure like a phase accumlator. The system input clock is divided clock, 1/2*clock, and 1/4*clock. and the system use a low frequency(1/4*clock) except MUX block, so reduce the power consumption. A 107MHz DDFS(Direct Digital Frequency Synthesizer) implemented using 0.8.mu.m CMOS gate array technologies is presented. The synthesizer covers a bandwidth from DC to 26.5MHz in steps of 1.48Hz with a switching speed of 0.5.mu.s and a turing latency of 55 clock cycles. The DDFS synthesizes 10 bit sine waveforms with a spectral purity of -65dBc. Power consumption is 276.5mW at 40MHz and 5V.

Wireless network has been used in many applications due to its advantages such as convenience, mobility, productivity, easy deployment, easy expandability and low cost. When it comes to stability, wireless network still shows its limitation which makes it difficult to be used for real-time control system. One of the first problems of using wireless network for control system is clock synchronization. There have been synchronization schemes proposed for wired networked control system as well as wireless network. But these should not be applied directly in wireless network control system. In this paper, we point out the importance of clock synchronization in wireless network control system. Then based on the characteristic of wireless networked control system, we propose a clock synchronization scheme for it. Furthermore, we simulate our scheme and compare with previous synchronization scheme in wired and wireless environments.

Main components of phase time error of synchronous network are flicker noise and random walk noise. This paper describe computer simulation of clock error characterized by a statistical model recommended as a standard measure. Flicker noise sequences are generated from white noise sequences by means of a algorithm developed by Barnes. Random-walk noise sequence are obtained by integration of a white noise sequence. Especially for flicker noise, relation between stage number N, time constant ratio K and bandwidth of flicker noise generated was defined by using some examples.

QoS-support technology in networks is based on measuring QoS metrics which reflect a magnitude of stability and performance. The one-way delay measurement of the QoS metrics especially requires a guarantee of clock synchronization between end-to-end hosts. However, the hosts in networks have a relative or absolute difference in clock time by reason of clock offsets. flock skews and clock adjustments. In this paper, we present a theorem, methods and simulation results of one-way delay and clock offset estimations between end-to-end hosts. The proposed theorem is a relationship between one-way delay, one-way delay variation and round-trip time And we show that the estimation error is mathematically smaller than a quarter of round-trip time.
