Today's System-on-a-Chip (SoC) is designed with reusable IP cores to meet short time-to-market requirements. However, the increasing cost of testing becomes a big burden in manufacturing a highly integrated SoC. In this paper, an efficient parallel scan test technique is introduced to minimize the test application time. Multiple scan enable signals are adopted to implement scan architecture to achieve optimal test application time for the test patterns scheduled for concurrent scan test. Experimental results show that testing times are considerably reduced with little area overhead.

Most of protecting security activity is carried out by manpower partly by security equipment. The protecting security market and the area of protecting security activity is increasing in spite of change of economic and social environment situation. For more effective protecting security activity, the coordination of electronic equipment and manpower is required. So some application method is suggested throughout the thesis, which is especially focused on new approaching method. The integration of intrusion detecting system, C.C.TV system and Access control system is introduced for general application in chapter III, and some application systems are proposed for protecting security activity in chapter IV. But the security equipment is only aid for manpower, so manpower and equipment should be coordinated well.

It is growing the application of the removal ground anchor with tension force for earth retaining constructions in the downtown. Nowadays, we can find the compression dispersion anchor on many site. But, it is occur some probelems in behabior of anchors because of impossible to tense p.c strand uniformly with existing equipment due to different length of p.c strand. So we tried to tense each p.c strand uniformly with auto back equipment in-situ test. This study compared and analyzed in-situ test results of an existing equipment with those of auto back equipment by appling elastic theory. As a result of the test, It has been proved that differences of tension force in the existing equipment increases with increasing the number of p.c strands. This can cause the ultimate failure of the concentrated p.c strand and the shear failure of ground. So it has been proved that auto back equipment is necessary.

We developed a pipelined scheduling technique of functional hardware and software modules for platform-based system-on-a-chip (SoC) designs. It is based on a modified list scheduling algorithm. We used the pipelined scheduling technique for a performance analysis of an MPEG4 video encoder application. Then, we applied it for architecture exploration to achieve a better performance. In our experiments, the modified SoC platform with 6 pipelines for the 32-bit dual layer architecture shows a 118% improvement in performance compared to the given basic SoC platform with 4 pipelines for the 16-bit single-layer architecture.

In the age of IoT, in which everything is connected to a network, there have been increases in the amount of data traffic, latency, and the risk of personal privacy breaches that conventional cloud computing technology cannot cope with. The idea of edge computing has emerged as a solution to these issues, and furthermore, the concept of ultra-low power edge intelligent semiconductors in which the IoT device itself performs intelligent decisions and processes data has been established. The key elements of this function are an intelligent semiconductor based on artificial intelligence, connectivity for the efficient connection of neurons and synapses, and a large-scale spiking neural network simulation framework for the performance prediction of a neural network. This paper covers the current trends in ultra-low power edge intelligent semiconductors including issues regarding their technology and application.

This paper presents a system level architecture evaluation technique that leverages transaction level modeling but also significantly extends it to the realm of system level performance evaluation. A major issue lies with the modeling effort. To reduce the modeling effort the proposed technique develops the concept of worst case scenarios. Since the memory controller is often found to be an important component that critically affects the system performance and thus needs optimization, the paper further addresses how to evaluate and optimize the memory controllers, focusing on the test environment and the methodology. The paper also presents an industrial case study using a real state-of-the-art design. In the case study, it is reported that the proposed technique has helped successfully find the performance bottleneck and provide appropriate feedback on time.

Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture (AMBA) 기반 System-on-Chip (SoC)에서는 기능적 테스트를 위해 ARM사의 Test Interface Controller (TIC)를 사용한다. 따라서 구조적 스캔 테스트 패턴도 TIC와 AMBA 버스를 통해 인가하면서 스캔입력과 출력을 동시에 수행할 수 없다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 ARM 코어를 사용하는 SoC 테스트를 위한 AMBA based Test Access Mechanism (ATAM)을 제안한다. 기존 TIC와의 호환성을 유지하고 스캔 입력과 출력을 동시에 할 수 있으므로 고가의 Automatic Test Equipment (ATE)를 통한 테스트 시간을 대폭 절감할 수 있다.

In this paper, We studied the possibility of SoC(System On Chip) design using infrared image processing IP(Intellectual Property). And, we studied NUC(Non Uniformity Correction), BPR(Bad Pixel Recovery), and CEM(Contrast Enhancement) processing, the infrared image processing algorithm implemented by IP. We showed the logic and timing diagram implemented through the hardware block designed based on each algorithm. Each algorithm was coded as RTL(Register Transfer Level) using Verilog HDL(Hardware Description Language), ALTERA QUARTUS synthesis, and programed in FPGA(Field Programmable Gated Array). In addition, we have verified that the image data is processed at each algorithm without any problems by integrating the infrared image processing algorithm. Particularly, using the directly manufactured electronic board, Processor, SRAM, and FLASH are interconnected and tested and the verification result is presented so that the SoC type can be realized later. The infrared image processing IP proposed and verified in this study is expected to be of high value in the future SoC semiconductor fabrication. In addition, we have laid the basis for future application in the camera SoC industry.
