This research was about shielded trench gate power MOSFET for low voltage and high speed. We used T-CAD tool and carried out process and device simulation for exracting design and process parameters. The exracted parameters was used to design shieled and conventional trench gate power MOSFET. And The electrical characteristics of shieled and conventional trench gate power MOSFET were compared and analyzed for their power device applications. As a result of analyzing electrical characteristics, the recorded breakdown voltages of both devices were around 120 V. The electric distributions of shielded and conventional trench gate power MOSFET was different. But due to the low voltage level, the breakdown voltage was almost same. And the other hand, the threshold voltage characteristics of shielded trench gate power MOSFET was superior to convention trench gate power MOSFET. In terms of on resistance characteristics, we obtained optimal oxied thickness of $3{\mu}m$.

본 논문에서는 작은 점유면적과 저 전력 소모 특성을 갖도록 CPL(Complementary Pass-Transistor Logic) 논리구조의 전가산기에 저 전압 스윙 기술을 적용하여 16$\times$16 비트 병렬 곱셈기를 설계하였다. 회로구성상 CPL 논리구조는 CMOS 논리구조에 비해 NMOS 트랜지스터만을 사용하기 때문에 작은 면적을 소비한다. 저 전압 스윙 기술은 회로에 공급되는 전압보다 낮은 전압 레벨에서 출력 동작을 하여 전력 소모를 감소시키는 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 전가산기의 출력 단에 사용되는 인버터에 저 전압 스윙 기술을 적용하여 저 전력 소모 특성을 갖는 16$\times$16 비트 병렬 곱셈기를 설계하였다 설계한 회로는 17.3%의 전력 소모 감소와 16.5%의 전력소모와 지연시간의 곱(Power Delay) 감소가 이루어졌다.

There are many researches to reduce power consumption of battery-operated Transceiver for 2.4 GHz smartRF applications. However, components such as processor, memory and LCD based power managements reach the limit of reducing power consumption. To overcome the limit, this research proposes novel low-power Transceiver and transceiver Hardware Design. Experimental results in the real smartRF Transceiver show that the proposed methods can reduce power consumption additionally than component based power managements.

Moore's law has driven silicon technology scale down aggressively, and it results in significant increase of leakage current on nano-meter scale CMOS. Especially, in mobile devices, leakage current has been one of designers' main concerns, and thus many studies have introduced low power methodologies. However, there are few studies to minimize implementation cost in the mixed use of the methodologies to the best of our knowledge. In this paper, we introduce industrial applications of low power design methodologies for the decrease of leakage current. We focus on the design cost reduction of power gating and reverse body bias when used together. Also, we present voltage scale as an alternative to reverse body bias. To sustain gate leakage current, we discuss the adoption of high-$\kappa$ metal gate, which cuts gate leakage current by a factor of 10 in 32 nm CMOS technology. A 45 nm mobile SoC is shown as the case study of the mixed use of low power methodologies.

This paper addresses several issues concerning the analysis, design, modeling, simulation and development of single-phase, single-switch, power factor corrected AC-DC high frequency switching converter topologies with transformer isolation. A detailed analysis and design is presented for single-switch topologies, namely forward buck, flyback, Cuk, Sepic and Zeta buck-boost converters, with high frequency isolation for discontinuous conduction modes (DCM) of operation. With an awareness of modem design trends towards improved performance, these switching converters are designed for low power rating and low output voltage, typically 20.25W with 13.5V in DCM operation. Laboratory prototypes of the proposed single-switch converters in DCM operation are developed and test results are presented to validate the proposed design and developed model of the system.

본 논문에서는 RTL 수준에서의 클록 게이팅을 이용한 실제적인 저전력 설계 기술에 대해서 제안하고자 한다. 상위 수준의 회로 설계자에 의해 시스템의 동작을 분석하여 클록 게이팅을 위한 제어기를 이용하는 것이 가장 효율적인 전력 감소를 가져 온다. 또한 직접적으로 클록 게이팅을 수행하는 것보다는 합성툴이 자연스럽게 게이팅된 클록을 맵핑할 수 있도록 RTL 수준에서 유도하는 것이 바람직하다. RTL 코딩 단계에서부터 저전력이 고려되었다면 처음 코딩단계에서부터 클록을 게이팅 시키고, 만일 고려되지 않았다면 동작을 분석한 후에 대기 동작인 부분에서 클록을 게이팅 한다. 그리고 회로의 동작을 분석한 후에 클록의 게 이팅을 제어하기 위한 제어기를 설계하고 합성 툴에 의해 저전력 회로에 해당하는 netlist를 얻는다. 결과로부터 상위수준의 클록 게이팅에 의해 레지스터의 전력이 922 mW에서 543 mW로 42% 감소한 것을 확인할 수 있다. Power Theater 자체의 synthesizer를 이용하여 netlist로 합성한 후에 전력을 측정했을 경우에는 레지스터의 전력이 322 mW에서 208 mW로 36.5% 감소한 것을 확인할 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 필터방식 얼굴검출 하드웨어를 저전력 설계하고 그에 따른 전력 소모량을 분석하였다. 얼굴검출 하드웨어는 입력되는 영상에서 얼굴의 위치를 검출하며 내부적으로 6개 모듈과 11개의 모듈 간 버퍼가 삽입되어 각 모듈이 순환 연산한다. 따라서 저전력 설계를 위해 SLEEP 모드와 ACTIVE 모드를 적용하였고, 해당 하드웨어에 모듈별 그리고 레지스터별 클럭게이팅(Clock Gating) 기술을 적용하였다. 추가적으로 모듈간 버퍼는 메모리 파티션을 통해 메모리에서 소비하는 전력양을 줄였으며 게이트 레벨에서도 저전력 설계 기술(Gate level power optimization)을 적용하였다. 이는 삼성 0.18um 공정의 STD130 라이브러리를 사용하여 Synopsis(사)의 Power-Compiler를 통해 구현되었으며 동사의 Prime-Power에 의해 소비 전력량을 측정하였다. 그 결과 저전력 설계 기술을 적용하기 전과 비교하여 ACTIVE 모드일 경우 약 68%의 전력 소모를 줄였다.
