We designed a DSP core simulator with C language, that is able to simulate 5-stage pipelined DSP core, named YS-DSP. It can emulate all 5 stage pipelines in the DSP core. It can also emulate memory access, exception processing, and DSP parallel processing. Each pipeline stage is implemented by combination of one or more functions to process parts of each stage. After modeling and validating the simulator, we can use it to verify and to complement the DSP core HDL model and to enhance its performance.

Recently, Russia decided to export an annual 7.5 million tons of natural gas to Korea over 30 years from 2015, as also deal with China, planed to build a pipeline connecting Siberia to Shandong Peninsula about 4000km. Risk management is required depending on the project in extreme cold weather, because it is concerned about the behavior of the seasonal changes in soil temperature and the strain of pipe according to the long-distance pipeline construction. The plan of data management shall be prepared in parallel for a sophisticated risk management, because a data is massive scale and it is generated/accumulated in real time. Therefore, this research is aimed to classify a data items in engineering stage of pipeline by previous studies for managing a generated data depending on the detail works in extreme cold weather. We expect to be provided the foundation of an efficient classification system of a generated data from the pipeline project life cycle.

This paper presents A/D converter for the signal processing of infrared sensor and CMOS image sensor. The A/D converter designed in a 0.25um CMOS process provides a resolution of 10bits at a sampling rate of 50MS/s while dissipating 67mW at 2.5V supply voltage. This A/D converter is based on a pipeline architecture in which the number of bits converted per stage and the stage number are optimized to achieve the desired linearity and reduce power consumption as well. Simulation results show that the A/D converter using 1.5bit per stage MDAC with switched capacitors and dynamic comparators efficiently reduces the power consumption.

Pressure propagation and attenuation characteristics in a hydraulic pipeline with a bellows type accumulator was investigated by theoretical analyses and experiments. In the first stage of the study, equations to evaluate the amount of oil volume charged into the bellows together with nitrogen gas were proposed. In the next stage, the authors suggested a mathematical model based on transfer matrix method to describe the dynamic characteristics of the pipe element with a metal bellows type accumulator. Through comparisons and considerations of the experimental and the numerical data shown in frequency domain, the validity of the mathematical model was confirmed.

The recent technology developments introduce new difficulties into the test process by the increased complexity of the chip. Most widely used method for testing high complexity and embedded systems is built-in self-test(BIST). In this paper, we describe 5-stage pipeline system as circuit under testing(CUT) and proposed a BIST scheme for the hazard detection unit of the pipeline system. The proposed BIST scheme can generate sequential instruction sets by pseudo-random pattern generator that can detect all hazard issues and compare the expected hazard signals with those of the pipelined system. Although BIST schemes require additional area in the system, it proves to provide a low-cost test solution and significantly reduce the test time.

This paper proposes a low-power range-scaled 14b 30 MS/s pipeline-SAR composite ADC for high-performance CIS applications. The SAR ADC is employed in the first stage to alleviate a sampling-time mismatch as observed in the conventional SHA-free architecture. A range-scaling technique processes a wide input range of 3.0VP-P without thick-gate-oxide transistors under a 1.8 V supply voltage. The first- and second-stage MDACs share a single amplifier to reduce power consumption and chip area. Moreover, two separate reference voltage drivers for the first-stage SAR ADC and the remaining pipeline stages reduce a reference voltage disturbance caused by the high-speed switching noise from the SAR ADC. The measured DNL and INL of the prototype ADC in a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS are within 0.88 LSB and 3.28 LSB, respectively. The ADC shows a maximum SNDR of 65.4 dB and SFDR of 78.9 dB at 30 MS/s, respectively. The ADC with an active die area of $1.43mm^2$ consumes 20.5 mW at a 1.8 V supply voltage and 30 MS/s, which corresponds to a figure-of-merit (FOM) of 0.45 pJ/conversion-step.

This work proposes a 12b 100 MS/s $0.11{\mu}m$ CMOS three-step hybrid pipeline ADC for high-speed communication and mobile display systems requiring high resolution, low power, and small size. The first stage based on time-interleaved dual-channel SAR ADCs properly handles the Nyquist-rate input without a dedicated SHA. An input sampling clock for each SAR ADC is synchronized to a reference clock to minimize a sampling-time mismatch between the channels. Only one residue amplifier is employed and shared in the proposed ADC for the first-stage SAR ADCs as well as the MDAC of back-end pipeline stages. The shared amplifier, in particular, reduces performance degradation caused by offset and gain mismatches between two channels of the SAR ADCs. Two separate reference voltages relieve a reference disturbance due to the different operating frequencies of the front-end SAR ADCs and the back-end pipeline stages. The prototype ADC in a $0.11{\mu}m$ CMOS shows the measured DNL and INL within 0.38 LSB and 1.21 LSB, respectively. The ADC occupies an active die area of $1.34mm^2$ and consumes 25.3 mW with a maximum SNDR and SFDR of 60.2 dB and 69.5 dB, respectively, at 1.1 V and 100 MS/s.
