In this paper, we propose an efficient design method for area optimization in a digital filter. The conventional methods to reduce the number of adders in a filter have the problem of a long critical path delay caused by the deep logic depth of the filter due to adder sharing. Furthermore, there is such a disadvantage that they use the transposed direct form (TDF) filter which needs more registers than those of the direct form (DF) filter. In this paper, we present a hybrid structure of a TDF and DF based on the flattened coefficients method so that it can reduce the number of flip-flops and full-adders without additional critical path delay. We also propose a resource sharing method and sharing-pattern searching algorithm to reduce the number of adders without deepening the logic depth. Simulation results show that the proposed structure can save the number of adders and registers by 22 and 26%, respectively, compared to the best one used in the past.

스캔 환경에 바탕을 둔 대부분의 경로 지연고장 시뮬레이터들은 개선된 스캔 플 립플롭을 사용하며 일반적인 논리 게이트를 대상으로만 동작한다. 본 연구에서는 새 로운 논리값을 사용한 새로운 경로 지연고장 시뮬레이션 알고리즘을 고안하여 이의 적용범위를 CMOS 소자를 포함하는 대규모 집적회로로 확장하였다. 제안된 알고리즘에 기초하여 표준 스캔 환경 하에서 동작하는 고속 지연고장 시뮬레이터를 개발하였다. 실험결과는 새 시뮬레이터가 효율적이며 정확함을 보여준다.

In this paper, a new state assignment method is proposed for the implementation of the area-effective control part. Introducing the, concept of adjacency matrix to control table generated by SDL(Symbolic Description Language) hardware compiler, a state assignment method is proposed with which minimal number of flip flops and effective number of product terms can be obtained to accomplish the area-effective implementation. Also, with substituting the assigned code to state transition table, boolean equations are obtained through 2-level logic minimization. Proposed algorithm is programmed in C-language on VAX-750/UNIX and b efficiency is shown by the practical example.

This paper proposes a NAND-NAND logic sequential Programmable Logic Array (PLA) using CMOS technology, and test generation methods about stuck-open faults. By using LSSD (Level Sensitive Scan Design) method instead of Flip-Flops in Sequential PLA, the complex test problems of sequential logic are simplified. After generating the test sets using connection graph, regular test sequences and all transistor faults detection method in PLA are proposed. Finally, by programming these algorithms in PASCAL at VAX 8700 and adopting these to pratical CMOS Sequential PLA circuits, we proved the effectiveness of this design.

본 논문에서는 CMOS 디지털 회로상의 플립플롭의 위치를 이동시키는 리타이밍 변환에 유전자 알고리즘을 적용하여 회로의 최적 동작 속도를 유지하면서 전력의 소모를 줄일 수 있는 설계 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 설계 방법은 최적 속도를 구현하는 리타이밍 단계와 유전자 알고리즘이 적용되는 저전력 리타이밍의 두 단계로 이루어진다. 제안된 저전력 리타이밍 설계 도구를 예제 회로의 설계에 적용하고 설계된 회로의 성능을 Synopsys시의 Design Analyzer로 평가한 결과, 임계 경로 지연은 약 30~50% 가량 감소하였으며 동적 전력 소모는 약 1.4~18.4% 가량 감소함을 관찰하였다.

A new architecture of field programmable gate array for high-speed datapath applications is presented. Its implementation is facilitated by a configurable interconnect technology based on a one-time, two-terminal programmable, very low-impedance anti-fuse and by a configurable logic module optimized for datapath applications. The configurable logic module can effectively implement diverse logic functions including sequential elements such as latches and flip-flops, and arithmetic functions such as one-bit full adder and two-bit comparator. A novel programming architecture is designed for supplying large current through the anti-fuse element, which drops the on-resistance of anti-fuse below $20{\Omega}$. The chip has been fabricated using a $0.8-{\mu}m$ n-well complementary metal oxide semiconductor technology with two layers of metalization.

By combining a digital DLL and an analog DLL in 2-stage, an improved DLL is implemented in this paper. The proposed DLL is composed of a RDLL (Register Controlled DLL) and a conventional analog DLL. The phase comparator used in the DLL is built with sense-amp based D flip-flops for high speed operation. The proposed DLL circuits have been designed, simulated in 0.18um, 1.8V TSMC CMOS library. The implemented DLL have demonstrated the fast lock-on time of 1us and low jitter of 72ps.

This paper presents a microcontroller-based control circuit for color variation of high brightness RGB LEDs in $8{\times}8$ matrix array. The control circuit is comprised of an AT89C52 chip, D Flip-flops, and transistors for switching, and is used to adjust the number of LEDs operated for color variation. For a stable operation, it is required that the input current to each LED should be maintained to a normal value irrespective of the number of LEDs operated.

A 120 GHz voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) with a divider chain including an injection locked frequency divider (ILFD) and six static frequency dividers is demonstrated using 65-nm CMOS technology. The VCO is designed based on the LC cross-coupled push-push structure and operates around 120 GHz. The 60 GHz ILFD at the first stage of the frequency divider chain is based on a similar topology as the core of the VCO to ensure the frequency alignment between the two circuit blocks. The static divider chain is composed of D-flip flops, providing a 64 division ratio. The entire circuit consumes a DC power of 68.5 mW with the chip size of $1385{\times}835{\mu}m^2$.

A 128/129 dual-modulus prescalar IC is designed for application to frequency synthesizers in high frequency communication systems. The FET logic used in this design is SCFL(Source Coupled FET Logic), employing depletion-mode 1.mu.m gate length GaAs MESFETs with the threshold voltage of -1.5V. This circuit consists of 8 flip-flops, 3 OR gates, 2 NOR gates, a modulus control buffer and I/O buffers, which are integrated with about 440 GaAs MESFETs on dimensions of 1.8mm. For $V_{DD}$ and $V_{SS}$ power supply voltages 5V and -3.3V Commonly used in TTL and ECL circuits are determined, respectively. The simulation results taking into account the threshold voltage variation of .+-.0.2V and the power supply variation of .+-.1V demonstrate that the designed prescalar can operate up to 2GHz. This prescalar is fabricated using the ETRI MMIC foundary process and the measured maximum operating frquency is 621MHz.
