This paper proposes a new LSI/VLSI logic design structure which improves shift register latches in conventional LSSD. Test patterns are easily generated and fault coverage is enhanced by using the design structure. The new parallel shift register latch can be applied to the design of easily testable PLA's. In this case, the number of test patterns is decreased and decoders which are added to the feedback inputs in conventional PLA's using LSSD are not necessary.

An one-dimensional VLSI array for high speed processing of Fractal image compression was designed. Using again the overlapped input data of adjacent domain blocks in the existing one-dimensional VLSI array, we can save the number of total input for the operations, and so we can save the total computation time. In the design procedure, we considered the data dependences between the input data, reordered the input data to the array, and designed the processing elements. Registers and multiplexors are added for the storing and routing of the input data in some processing elements. Consequently as adding a little hardware, this design shows (N-4B)/4(N-B) times of speed-up compared with the existing array, where N is image size and B is block size.

In order to implement high-speed data acquistion system in CMOS VLSI technology, means must be found to overcome the relatively low transconductance and large device mismatch characteristic of MOS device. Because of these device limitations, circuit design approaches tradition-ally used in high-speed bipolar analog-to-digital converter(ADC) are suited to CMOS implementation. Also the design of VLSI CMOS comparator wherein voltage comparision is accomplished by means of a pipelined cascade RSA (Regenerative Sense Amplifier). So, in this paper we designed the A/D converter incorporates the pipelined CMOS comparator.

This paper deals with minimizing layout area of VLSI design. A long wire in a VLSI layout causes delay which can be reduced by using a driver. There can be significant area increase when many drivers are introduced in a layout. This paper describes a method to obtain tight bound on the worst-case increase in area when drivers are introduced along many long wires in a layout. The area occupied by minimum-area embedding for a circuit can depend on the aspect ratio of the bounding rectangle of the layout. This paper presents a separator-based area optimal embeddings for VLSI graphs in rectangles of several aspect ratios.

PCI 2.2 마스터 디바이스가 타겟 디바이스로부터 데이터를 읽어 오고자 할 때 타겟 장치는 내부적으로 데이터를 준비해야 함으로 인해 PCI 버스가 데이터 전송 없이 점유되는 상황이 발생한다. 이를 위해 PCI 2.2 사양에서는 지연전송을 제안하여 전송 효율을 향상시켰지만 이 역시 타겟 디바이스가 얼마의 데이터를 미리 준비 해둘지를 알 수 없어 인해 버스 사용 및 데이터 전송 효율을 떨어뜨리는 원인을 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 먼저 이를 해결하기 위한 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 그리고 이 방법을 지원하는 PCI 타겟 컨트롤러와 로컬 디바이스를 설계하였다. 설계되어진 PCI 타겟 컨트롤러는 PCI 2.2를 전혀 모르는 사용자도 쉽게 PCI 인터페이스를 지원할 수 있도록 한 프로토콜 변환기로 사용될 수 있다. PCI 타겟 컨트롤러와 로컬 디바이스는 먼저 행위 모델로 설계하였으며 또한 이들을 검증하기 위한 테스트벤치를 설계 하였다. 이를 통해 제안되어진 방법의 성능을 측정하였으며 후에 다시 실제 하드웨어로 설계하였다. 설계되어진 하드웨어를 효과적으로 검증하기 위해 참조모델, 랜덤발생기, 비교엔진으로 구성된 랜덤 테스트 환경을 제안하였다. 이 검증 환경에서 수행된 결과를 비교함으로써 일반적인 테스트 벡터에서 발견하기 어려운 에러들을 발견할 수 있었다.

We describe how single layer perceptrons and new nonsymmetry feedback type neural networks can be implemented by VLSI CMOS technology. The network described provides a flexible tool for evaluation of boolean expressions and arithmetic equations. About 50 CMOS VLSI chips with an architecture based on two neural networks have been designed and me being fabricated by 2-micrometer double metal design rules. These chips have been developed to study the potential of neural network models for the use in character recognition and for a neural compute.

Encapsulation for information security is often carried out in Galois field in the form of arithmetic operations. This paper proposes how to efficiently perform exponentiation of arithmetic information on Galois field. Especially, by improving an existing bit-parallel exponentiator to exclude elements with heavy gate counts and to take advantage of system constants, this paper proposes how to implement a VLSI architecture with high performance even for large m.

In this paper, an one-dimensional VLSI array for high speed processing of fractal image compression algorithm based the quad-tree partitioning method is proposed. First of all, the single assignment code algorithm is derived from the sequential Fisher's algorithm, and then the data dependence graph(DG) is obtained. The two-dimension array is designed by projecting this DG along the optimal direction and the one-dimensional VLSI array is designed by transforming the obtained two-dimensional array. The number of Input/Output pins in the designed one-dimensional array can be reduced and the architecture of process elements(PEs) can he simplified by sharing the input pins of range and domain blocks and internal arithmetic units of PEs. Also, the utilization of PEs can be increased by reusing PEs for operations to the each block-size. For fractal image compression of 512X512gray-scale image, the proposed array can be processed fastly about 67 times more than sequential algorithm. The operations of the proposed one-dimensional VLSI array are verified by the computer simulation.
