In this paper, we propose a new design method of Genetic Algorithm Processor(GAP) and Evolvable Hardware(EHW). All sorts of creature evolve its structure or shape in order to adapt itself to environments. Evolutionary Computation based on the process of natural selection not only searches the quasi-optimal solution through the evolution process, but also changes the structure to get best results. On the other hand, Genetic Algorithm(GA) is good fur finding solutions of complex optimization problems. However, it has a major drawback, which is its slow execution speed when is implemented in software of a conventional computer. Parallel processing has been one approach to overcome the speed problem of GA. In a point of view of GA, long bit string length caused the system of GA to spend much time that clear up the problem. Evolvable Hardware refers to the automation of electronic circuit design through artificial evolution, and is currently increased with the interested topic in a research domain and an engineering methodology. The studies of EHW generally use the XC6200 of Xilinx. The structure of XC6200 can configure with gate unit. Each unit has connected up, down, right and left cell. But the products can't use because had sterilized. So this paper uses Vertex-E (XCV2000E). The cell of FPGA is made up of Configuration Logic Block (CLB) and can't reconfigure with gate unit. This paper uses Vertex-E is composed of the component as cell of XC6200 cell in VertexE

In order to solve the well-known drawback of reduced flexibility that is associate with ASIC implementations, this paper proposes a novel arithmetic unit over GF(2$^{m}$ ) for field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) implementations of elliptic curve cryptographic processor. The proposed arithmetic unit is based on the binary extended GCD algorithm and the MSB-first multiplication scheme, and designed as systolic architecture to remove global signals broadcasting. The proposed architecture can perform both division and multiplication in GF(2$^{m}$ ). In other word, when input data come in continuously, it produces division results at a rate of one per m clock cycles after an initial delay of 5m-2 in division mode and multiplication results at a rate of one per m clock cycles after an initial delay of 3m in multiplication mode respectively. Analysis shows that while previously proposed dividers have area complexity of Ο(m$^2$) or Ο(mㆍ(log$_2$$^{m}$ )), the Proposed architecture has area complexity of Ο(m), In addition, the proposed architecture has significantly less computational delay time compared with the divider which has area complexity of Ο(mㆍ(log$_2$$^{m}$ )). FPGA implementation results of the proposed arithmetic unit, in which Altera's EP2A70F1508C-7 was used as the target device, show that it ran at maximum 121MHz and utilized 52% of the chip area in GF(2$^{571}$ ). Therefore, when elliptic curve cryptographic processor is implemented on FPGAs, the proposed arithmetic unit is well suited for both division and multiplication circuit.

A contactless recharging device for totally implantable middle ear systems has been designed as a pillow type that the user can recharge the implanted battery with taking a rest. The proposed device uses the electromagnetic coupling between the transmitting coil and the receiving coil. To supply sufficient power for the implanted circuits, each coil uses LC resonance and the implanted device uses voltage doubler. A power MOSFET is used for switching the DC voltage of LC parallel circuit and the switching frequency demands on a programmable frequency generator which is controlled by microcontroller. In order to improve the electromagnetic coupling efficiency at specific positions of coil which may vary with the displacement of head, the optimal location of receiving coil was studied, and the 5 transmitting coils in a pillow for recharging the implant module was designed. From such a recharging experiment, it was found that the proposed device could provide the sufficient operating voltage within the distance of 4 cm between pillow and the implanted device.

A real-time digital time-stamp sorting algorithm used in the In-Beam positron emission tomography (In-Beam PET) is presented. The algorithm is operated in the field programmable gate array (FPGA) and a small amount of registers, MUX and memory cells are used. It is developed for sorting the data of annihilation event from front-end circuits, so as to identify the coincidence events efficiently in a large amount of data. In the In-Beam PET, each annihilation event is detected by the detector array and digitized by the analog to digital converter (ADC) in Data Acquisition Unit (DAQU), with a resolution of 14 bits and sampling rate of 50 MS/s. Test and preliminary operation have been implemented, it can perform a sorting operation under the event count rate up to 1 MHz per channel, and support four channels in total, count rate up to 4 MHz. The performance of this algorithm has been verified by pulse generator and ²²Na radiation source, which can sort the events with chaotic order into chronological order completely. The application of this algorithm provides not only an efficient solution for selection of coincidence events, but also a design of electronic circuit with a small-scale structure.

The field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is gaining popularity in industrial automation such as nuclear power plant instrumentation and control (I&C) systems due to the benefits of having non-existence of operating system, minimum software errors, and minimum common reason failures. Separate functions can be processed individually and in parallel on the same integrated circuit using FPGAs in comparison to the conventional microprocessor-based systems used in any plant operations. The use of FPGAs offers the potential to minimize complexity and the accompanying difficulty of securing regulatory approval, as well as provide superior protection against obsolescence. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are a new technology for acquiring and processing plant data wirelessly in which sensor nodes are configured for real-time signal processing, data acquisition, and monitoring. ZigBee (IEEE 802.15.4) is an open worldwide standard for minimum power, low-cost machine-to-machine (M2M), and internet of things (IoT) enabled wireless network communication. It is always a challenge to follow the specific topology when different Zigbee nodes are placed in a large network such as a plant. The research article focuses on the hardware chip design of different topological structures supported by ZigBee that can be used for monitoring and controlling the different operations of the plant and evaluates the performance in Vitex-5 FPGA hardware. The research work presents a strategy for configuring FPGA with ZigBee sensor nodes when communicating in a large area such as an industrial plant for real-time monitoring.

For more convenient electrode-electrolyte interface impedance analysis in biosensor, a stand-alone impedance measurement system is required. In our study, we developed a PC-based portable system to analyze impedance of the electrochemical cell using microprocessor. The devised system consists of signal generator, programmable amplifiers, A/D converter, low pass filter, potentiostat, I/V converter, microprocessor, and PC interface. As a microprocessor, PIC16F877 which has the processing speed of 5 MIPS was used. For data acquisition, the sampling rate at 40 k samples/sec, resolution of 12 bit is used. RS-232 with 115.2 kbps speed is used for the PC communication. The square wave was used as stimuli signal for impedance analysis and voltage-controlled current measurement method of three-electrode-method were adopted. Acquired voltage and current data are calculated to multifrequency impedance signal after Fourier transform. To evaluate the implemented system, we set up the dummy cell as equivalent circuit of which was composed of resistor, parallel circuit of capacitor and resistor connected in parallel and measured the impedance of the dummy cell; the result showed that there exist accuracy within 5 % errors and reproduction within 1 % errors compared to output of Hioki LCR tester and HP impedance analyzer as a standard product. These results imply that it is possible to analyze electrode-electrolyte interface impedance quantitatively in biosensor and to implement the more portable high speed impedance analysis system compared to existing systems.

본 논문에서는 국내 표준 128비트 블록 암호화 알고리즘인 SEED를 소형 내장형(8-bit/ 16-bit) 시스템에 탑재하도록 저가의 FPGA로 구현하는 방법을 제안한다. 대부분 8-bit 또는 16-bit의 소규모 내장형 시스템들의 프로세서들은 그 저장용량과 처리속도의 한계 때문에 상대적으로 계산양이 많아 부담이 되는 암호화 과정은 별도의 하드웨어 처리기를 필요로 한다. SEED 회로가 다른 논리 블록들과 함께 하나의 칩에 집적되기 위해서는 적정한 성능을 유지하면서도 면적 요구량이 최소화되는 설계가 되어야 한다. 그러나, 표준안 사양의 구조대로 그대로 구현할 경우 저가의 FPGA에 수용하기에는 면적 요구량이 지나치게 커지게 되는 문제점이 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 면적이 큰 연산 모듈의 공유를 최대화하고 최근 시판되는 FPGA 칩의 특성들을 설계에 반영하여 저가의 FPGA 하나로 SEED와 주변 회로들을 구현할 수 있도록 설계하였다. 본 논문의 설계는 Xilinx 사의 저가 칩인 Spartan-II 계열의 XC2S100 시리즈 칩을 대상으로 구현하였을 때, 65%의 면적을 차지하면서 66Mpbs 이상의 throughput을 내는 결과를 얻었다. 이러한 성능은 작은 면적을 사용하면서도 목표로 하는 소형 내장형 시스템에서 사용하기에 충분한 성능이다.

CCTV(Closed Circuit TeleVision)에 사용되는 CCD(Charge Coupled Device)는 일본의 소니가 시장을 $80\%$ 선점하고 있다. 이는 다른 회사가 따라오지 못할 만큼의 성능을 가지고 있기 때문인데, 문제는 CCD에서 사용되는 clock 주파수가 범용 비디오 인코더에서 사용하는 주파수와 다르다는 것이다. 이 때문에 범용 비디오 인코더를 사용하여 TV 출력을 만들려면, 화면 크기를 조절해 주는 scaler와 2개 clock의 동기를 잡아주는 PLL(Phase Loop Lock)이 필요하다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 scaler와 PLL을 사용하지 않고도 TV 출력 신호를 만들 수 있도록 CCD와 동일한 clock으로 동작하는 비디오 인코더를 제안한다. 본 비디오 인코더는 ITU-R BT.601 4:2:2, ITU-R BT.656 중 하나의 입력을 받아서 NTSC, PAL등의 S-video 신호와 CVBS(Composite Video Baseband Signals)로 바꾸어 준다. 입력 클럭이 가변하기 때문에 인코더 내부에서 사용하는 필터의 특성도 가변되도록 설계하였고 하드웨어 크기를 줄이기 위해서 곱셈기를 사용하지 않는 구조로 설계하였다. 명암 신호와 색차 신호를 위한 디지털 필터의 bit width는 하드웨어 설계 시 발생할 수 있는 오차를 ${\pm}1$ LSB(Least Significant Bit) 이하가 되도록 정하여 양질의 복합 영상 신호를 만들 수 있도록 하였다. 제안된 시스템은 Altera FPGA인 Stratix EP1S80B953C6ES을 이용하여 검증을 수행하였다.
