Data stability and leakage power dissipation have become a critical issue in scaled SRAM design. In this paper, an advanced 8T SRAM cell improving the read and write stability of data storage elements as well as reducing the leakage current in the idle mode is presented. During the read operation, the bit-cell keeps the noise-vulnerable data 'low' node voltage close to the ground level, and thus producing near-ideal voltage transfer characteristics essential for robust read functionality. In the write operation, a negative bias on the cell facilitates to change the contents of the bit. Unlike the conventional 6T cell, there is no conflicting read and write requirement on sizing the transistors. In the standby mode, the built-in stacked device in the 8T cell reduces the leakage current significantly. The 8T SRAM cell implemented in a 130 nm CMOS technology demonstrates almost 100 % higher read stability while bearing 20 % better write-ability at 1.2 V typical condition, and a reduction by 45 % in leakage power consumption compared to the standard 6T cell. The stability enhancement and leakage power reduction provided with the proposed bit-cell are confirmed under process, voltage and temperature variations.

An Unscented Kalman Filter(UKF) for estimation of attitude and rate of a spacecraft using only magnetometer vector measurement is presented. The dynamics used in the filter is nonlinear rotational equation which is augmented by the quaternion kinematics to construct a process model. The filter is designed for low Earth orbit satellite, so the disturbance torques include gravity-gradient torque, magnetic disturbance torque, and aerodynamic drag. The magnetometer measurements are simulated based on time-varying position of the spacecraft. The filter has been tested not only in the standby mode but also in the detumbling mode. To stabilize the attitude, linear PD controller is applied and the actuator is assumed to be thruster. A Monte-Carlo simulation has been done to guarantee the stability of the filter performance to the various initial conditions. The UKF performance is compared to that of EKF and it reveals that UKF outperforms EKF.

Recently the number of IT equipment have increased. It consumes large amounts of energy and is emissions of greenhouse gases. Co2 emissions with the PC and the monitor has the highest percentage to 39% more than other IT equipment. In addition, Plan for your PC's power management and technology development is being pursued in developed countries. To reduce energy costs of organizations with large numbers of the PC and to cut down on Co2 emissions, the energy load control technology of ACPI standards-based PC IS suggested. AMI-based PC power-management system was constructed, Approximately 20% of operating a result of the test power consumption was reduced. Looking at the case of the United States, PC monitors from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh was Sleep mode. As a result, the monitor on a, $ 20 for a year reduced energy costs. In GE(General Electronic), Approximately 75,000 PC's power setting time was Monitor Off :15 minutes/ Hard Drives Off 30 minutes/ System Standby 30 minutes/ Hibernation mode 2 hours. 1 year, electric bill was $ 2.5 million savings and 3 years electric bill was $ 6.5 million savings. Measuring energy usage data, using the measured data, electric energy management technology is not. Platform development to measure energy usage for Individual energy-consuming equipment is urgently required.

본 논문에서 소개하는 스마트 멀티탭은 스마트 폰으로 서버 PC를 통해 제어되는 전자기기이다. 네트워크 망에서 동작하는 스마트 멀티탭은 기존 멀티탭에 무선통신 프로토콜인 Zigbee 통신 모듈을 내장시켜서 사용자가 홈서버를 통해 원격에서 가전기기의 전원을 제어할 수 있게 한다. 게이트웨이의 역할을 하는 홈 서버는 인터넷을 통해 스마트 기기와 연결되어 있다. 본 논문의 최종 결과물을 통해 사용자는 스마트 기기로 멀티탭의 ON/OFF 상태정보를 확인하고 즉시 제어를 하거나 사용자가 원하는 시간에 맞춰 제어를 할 수 있다. OFF시에는 SSR모듈로 전기가 지나가는 통로를 막기 때문에 스마트 멀티탭을 구동하는데 드는 미량의 전력 소모(2watt) 이외에 모든 대기전력이 차단된다. 이를 통해 전기에너지 절감 효과를 기대할 수 있다.

In this paper, we motivate the post-mask performance enhancement technique combined with the Multi-Threshold Voltage CMOS (MTCMOS) leakage current suppression technology, and integrate the new design issues related to the MTCMOS technology into the ASIC design methodology. The issues include short-circuit current and sneak leakage current prevention. Towards validating the proposed techniques, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) processor has been implemented using the methodology, and a 0.18um process. The fabricated PDA processor operates at 333MHz which has been improved about 23% at no additional cost of redesign and masks, and consumes about 2uW of standby mode leakage power which could have been three orders of magnitude larger if the MTCMOS technology was not applied.

Low power circuit techniques have been developed to realize the highest possible performance of embedded SRAM at 1V power supply with$0.5\mu\textrm{m}$ single threshold CMOS technology in which the unbalance between NMOS and PMOS threshold voltages is utilized to optimize the low power CMOS IC design. To achieve the best trade-off between the transistor drivability and the subthreshold current increase, the ground potential of memory array is raised to suppressthe subthreshold current. The problems of lower cellstability and bit-line dealy increase due to the enhanced array ground potential are evaluated to be controlled within the allowable range by careful circuit design. 160MHz, 128kb embedded SRAM with 3.4ns access time is demonstrated with the power consumption of 14.8mW in active $21.4{mu}W$ in standby mode at 1V power supply.

This paper presents the impact of time dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB, also called as gate oxide breakdown) failure on nanoscale digital CMOS Circuits. Recently, TDDB for ultra-thin gate oxides has been considered as one of the critical reliability issues which can lead to performance degradation or logic failures in nanoscale CMOS devices. Also, leakage power in the standby mode can be increased significantly. In this paper, TDDB aging effects on large CMOS digital circuits in the 45nm technology are analyzed. Simulation results show that TDDB effect on MOSFET circuits can result in more significant increase of power consumption compared to delay increase.

A fully-differential touch-screen sensing architecture is presented to improve noise immunity and also support most multi-touch events minimizing the number of amplifiers and their silicon area. A correlated double sampling function is incorporated to reduce DC offset and low-frequency noises, and a stabilizer circuit is also embedded to minimize inherent transient fluctuations. A prototype of the proposed readout circuit was fabricated in a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process and its differential operation in response to various touch events was experimentally verified. With a 3.3 V supply, the current dissipation was 3.4 mA at normal operation and $140{\mu}A$ in standby mode.
