현재의 반도체 검사장비는 테스트 패턴 프로그램을 위한 메모리로 시스템 설계가 간단하고 리프레시가 필요 없는 SRAM(static random access memory) 모듈을 채용하고 있다. 그러나 SRAM 모듈을 이용한 시스템 구성은 용량이 커질수록 장비의 부피가 증가하기 때문에 메모리 대용량화 및 장비의 소형화에 걸림돌이 되고 있다. DRAM(dynamic random access memory)을 이용하여 반도체 검사 장비를 제작할 경우 SRAM 보다 비용과 장비의 면적이 줄어드는 장점이 있지만 DRAM의 특성 상메모리 셀 리프레시가 필요하여 정시성을 보장해야 하는 문제가 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 DDR2 SDRAM(double data rate synchronous dynamic random access memory)을 이용한 비메모리 검사장비에서 정시성을 보장해 주는 알고리즘을 제안하고 알고리즘을 이용한 메모리 컨트롤러를 제작하였다.

The concept of middleware for digital TV receivers is not new one. Using middleware for digital TV development has a number of advantages. It makes it easier for manufacturers to hide differences in the underlying hardware. It also offers a standard platform for application developers. Digital TV middleware enables set-top boxes(STBs) to run video, audio, and applications. The main concern of digital TV middleware is now to reduce its memory usage because most STBs in the market are small footprint. In this paper, we propose several ideas about how to reduce the required memory size on the runtime area of DTV middleware using a new native process technology. Our proposed system has two components; the Efficient Native Process Module, and Enhanced Native Interface APIs for concurrent native modules. With our approach, the required memory reduced from 50% up to 75% compared with the traditional approach. It can be suitable for low end STBs of very low hardware limitation.

In this study, we present a 260k color TFT LCD driver chip set that consumes only 5 mW in the module, which has exceptionally low power consumption. To reduce power consumption, we used many power-lowering schemes in the logic and analog design. A driver IC for LCDs has a built-in graphic SRAM. Besides write and read operations, the graphic SRAM has a scan operation that is similar to the read operation of one row-line, which is displayed on one line in an LCD panel. Currently, the embedded graphic memory is implemented by an 8-transistor leaf cell and a 6-transistor leaf cell. We propose an efficient scan method for a 6-transistor embedded graphic memory that is greatly improved over previous methods. The proposed method is implemented in a 0.22 ${\mu}m$ process. We demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method by measuring and comparing the current consumption of chips with and without our proposed scheme.

Package for artificial satellite is to produce mass production for high package with reliability certification as well as develop SDRAM (synchronous dynamic RAM) module which has such as miniaturization, mass storage, and high reliability in space environment. It requires sophisticated technology with chip stacking or package stacking in order to increase up to 4Gbits or more for mass storage with space technology. To make it better, we should secure suitable processes by doing design, manufacture, and debugging. Pin type PCB substrate was then applied to QFP-Pin type 3D memory package fabrication. These results show that the 3D memory package for artificial satellite scheme is a promising candidate for the realization of our own domestic technologies.

In this paper, we implemented a speaker-independent speech recognizer using the TMS320F28335 DSP which is optimized for control applications. For this implementation, we used a small-sized commercial DSP module and developed a peripheral board including a codec, signal conditioning circuits and I/O interfaces. The speech signal digitized by the TLV320AIC23 codec is analyzed based on MFCC feature extraction methed and recognized using the continuous-density HMM. Thanks to the internal SRAM and flash memory on the TMS320F28335 DSP, we did not need any external memory devices. The internal flash memory contains ADPCM data for voice response as well as HMM data. Since the TMS320F28335 DSP is optimized for control applications, the recognizer may play a good role in the voice-activated control areas in aspect that it can integrate speech recognition capability and inherent control functions into the single DSP.

멀티미디어 서비스의 증가에 따라 멀티캐스팅(Multicasting)은 ATM 스위치 디자인에 있어 중요성을 더해가고 있다. 기존의 다단 연결 구조에서 멀티캐스트에 의한 트래픽 팽창의 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 고속의 버스와 공유 메모리 스위치를 이용한 멀티캐스트 스위치를 제안한다. 고속의 시분할 버스를 연결 매체로 사용하며 공유 메모리 스위치를 단위 모듈로 하는 구조를 채택하여 용이한 포트 확장성을 제공한다. 트래픽 중재 기법을 사용하여 내부 블러킹을 없애며, 시뮬레이션을 통해 데이터 처리율이나 셀지연 측면에서의 스위치 성능을 확인한다.

The free distance of (n, k, l) convolutional codes has some connection with the memory length, which depends on not only l but also on k. To efficiently obtain a large memory length, we have constructed a new class of (2k, k, l) convolutional codes by (2k, k) block codes and (2, 1, l) convolutional codes, and its encoder and generation function are also given in this paper. With the help of some matrix modules, we designed a single structure Viterbi decoder with a parallel capability, obtained a unified and efficient decoding model for (2k, k, l) convolutional codes, and then give a description of the decoding process in detail. By observing the survivor path memory in a matrix viewer, and testing the role of the max module, we implemented a simulation with (2k, k, l) convolutional codes. The results show that many of them are better than conventional (2, 1, l) convolutional codes.

The Use-after-free (UAF) bug is a long-standing temporal memory safety issue. To prevent UAF attacks, two commonly used approaches are lock-and-key and pointer nullification. Recently, ARM architecture supports the Memory Tagging Extension (MTE) that implemented a lock-and-key mechanism using a 4-bit tag during memory access. Previous research proposed a virtual address tagging scheme utilizing MTE to prevent UAF attacks. In this paper, we aimed to measure a simplified version of the previously proposed virtual address tagging scheme on real machines supporting MTE by implementing a simple module and conducting experiments.

In the Internet-of-Things (IoT) or blockchain-based network systems, secure keys may be stored in individual devices; thus, individual devices should protect data by performing secure operations on the data transmitted and received over networks. Typically, secure functions, such as a physical unclonable function (PUF) and fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), are useful for generating safe keys and distributing data in a network. However, to provide these functions in embedded devices for IoT or blockchain systems, proper inspection is required for designing and implementing embedded system-on-chip (SoC) modules through overhead and performance analysis. In this paper, a virtual platform (SoC VP) was developed that includes a secure key generation module with a PUF and FHE. The SoC VP platform was implemented using SystemC, which enables the execution and verification of various aspects of the secure key generation module at the electronic system level and analyzes the system-level execution time, memory footprint, and performance, such as randomness and uniqueness. We experimentally verified the secure key generation module, and estimated the execution of the PUF key and FHE encryption based on the unit time of each module.
