This paper presents a new digit level LSB-first multiplier for computing a modular multiplication and a modular squaring simultaneously over finite field GF($2^m$). To derive $L{\times}L$ digit level architecture when digit size is set to L, the previous algorithm is used and index transformation and merging the cell of the architecture are proposed. The proposed architecture can be utilized for the basic architecture for the crypto-processor and it is well suited to VLSI implementation because of its simplicity, regularity, and concurrency.

Although digit character recognition has got a significant improvement in recent years, it is still challenging to achieve satisfied result if the data contains an amount of distracting factors. This paper proposes a novel digit character recognition approach using a multi-layer hierarchical model, Hybrid Restricted Boltzmann Machines (HRBMs), which allows the learning architecture to be robust to background distracting factors. The insight behind the proposed model is that useful high-level features appear more frequently than distracting factors during learning, thus the high-level features can be decompose into hybrid hierarchical structures by using only small label information. In order to extract robust and compact features, a stochastic 0-1 layer is employed, which enables the model's hidden nodes to independently capture the useful character features during training. Experiments on the variations of Mixed National Institute of Standards and Technology (MNIST) dataset show that improvements of the multi-layer hierarchical model can be achieved by the proposed method. Finally, the paper shows the proposed technique which is used in a real-world application, where it is able to identify digit characters under various complex background images.

This paper describes a 3.3 (V) low power 4 digit CMOS quaternary to analog converter (QAC) designed with a neuron MOS($\upsilon$MOS) down literal circuit block and cascode current mirror source block. The neuron MOS down literal architecture allows the designed QAC to accept not only 4 level voltage inputs, but also a high speed sampling rate quaternary voltage source LSB. Fast settling time and low power consumption of the QAC are achieved by utilizing the proposed architecture. The simulation results of the designed 4 digit QAC show a sampling rate of 6(MHz) and a power dissipation of 24.5 (mW) with a single power supply of 3.3 (V) for a CMOS 0.35${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ n-well technology.

This paper describes a low-power design of decimation filter. To reduce power consumption, an approximate processing method which controls the error in canonic signed digit(CSD) coefficients is proposed. The CSD representation reduces the number of operations by representing multiplications with add and shift operations. The proposed method further reduces the number of operations by controlling the error of CSD coefficient. Processor type architecture is used to implement the proposed method. Simulation result shows that the number of operations is reduced to 56%, 35% and 10% at each approximated filter level.

In this Paper, an approximate processing method is proposed and tested. The proposed method uses variable CSD (VCSD) coefficients which approximate filter stopband attenuation by controlling the precision of the CSD coefficient sets. A decimation filter for Audio Codec '97 specifications has been designed having processor architecture that consists of program/data memory, arithmetic unit, energy/level decision, and sinc filter blocks, and fabricated with 0.6${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS sea-of-gate technology. For the combined two halfband FIR filters in decimation filter, the number of addition operations were reduced to 63.5%, 35.7%, and 13.9%, compared to worst-case which is not an adaptive one. Experimental results show that the total power reduction rate of the filter is varying from 3.8 % to 9.0 % with respect to worst-case. The proposed approximate processing method using variable CSD coefficients is readily applicable to various kinds of filters and suitable, especially, for the speech and audio applications, like oversampling ADCs and DACs, filter banks, voice/audio codecs, etc.

This paper describes the design techniques of the data converters for Multiple-Valued Logic(MVL). A 3.3V low power 4 digit CMOS analog to quaternary converter (AQC) and quaternary to analog converter (QAC) mainly designed with the neuron MOS down literal circuit block has been introduced. The neuron MOS down literal architecture allows the designed AQC and QAC to accept analog and 4 level voltage inputs, and enables the proposed circuits to have the multi-threshold properity. Low power consumption of the AQC and QAC are achieved by utilizing the proposed architecture.
