In this paper, we propose a new network ASIP(Application Specific Instruction-set Processor) which was designed for simulation models by a machine descriptions language LISA(Language for Instruction Set Architecture). This network ASIP is aimed for an exclusive engine undertaking packet processing in a router. To achieve the purpose, we added a new necessary instruction set for processing a general ASIP based on MIPS(Microprocessor without Interlock Pipeline Stages) architecture in high speed. The new instructions can be divided into two groups: a classification instruction group and a modification instruction group, and each group is to be processed by its own functional unit in an execution stage. The functional unit was optimized for area and speed through Verilog HDL, and the result after synthesis was compared with the area and operation delay time. Moreownr, it was allocated to the Macro function ana low-level standardized programming language C using CKF(Compiler Known Function). Consequently, we verified performance improvement achieved by analysis and comparison of execution cycles of application programs.

This paper presents the digital signal processing submodule of a 100Base-TX Ethernet receiver to support 100Mbps at TP cable channel. The proposed submodule consists of programmable gain controller, timing recovery, adaptive equalizer and baseline wander compensator. The measured Bit Error Rate is less than $10^{-12}BER$ when continuously receiving data up to 150m. The proposed signal processing submodule is implemented in digital circuits except for PLL and amplifier. The performance improvement of the proposed equalizer and BLW compensator is measured about 1dB compared with the existing architecture that removes BLW using errors of an adaptive equalizer. The architecture has been modeled using Verilog-HDL and synthesized using samsung $0.18{\mu}m$ cell library. The implemented digital signal processing submodule operates at 142.7 MHz and the total number of gates are about 128,528.

This paper presents the implementation of a Tiling System about Preprocessing functions of JPEG 2000. The system covers the JPEG 2000 standard and is designed to determine the size of the image, to expand the image area and to split input image into several tiles. In order to split the input image with the progressive transmission into several tiles and transmit a tile of this image to others, this system store this image into Frame Memory. Therefore, this is designed as the Finite State Machine (FSM) to sequence through specific patterns of states in a predetermined sequential manner by using Verilog-HDL and be designed to handle a maximum 5M image. Moreover, for identifying image size for expansion, we propose several formula which are based on remainder after division (rem). we propose the true table which determines the size of the image input patterns by using results of these formula. Under the condition of TSMC 0.25um ASIC library, gate count is 18,725 and maximum data arrival time is 18.94 [ns].

This paper proposes the design of an advanced S-Box for calculating multiplicative inverse in AES encryption process. In this approach, advanced S-box module is first designed based on composite field, and then the performance evaluation is performed for S-box with multi-stage pipelining architecture. In the proposed S-Box architecture, each module for multiplicative inverse is constructed using combinational logic for realizing both small-area and high-speed. Through logic synthesis result, the designed 3-stage pipelined S-Box shows speed improvement of about 28% compared to the conventional method. The proposed advanced AES S-Box is performed modelling at the mixed level using Verilog-HDL, and logic synthesis is also performed on Spartan 3s1500l FPGA using Xilinx ISE 14.7 tool.

Recently, the investigation of the cognitive radio (CR) system is actively progressed as one of the methods for using the frequency resources more efficiently. In CR systems, when the frequency band allocated to the incumbent user is not used, the unused frequency band is assigned to the secondary user. Thus, the FFT input signals corresponding to the actually used frequency band by the incumbent user are assigned as '0'. In this paper, based on the fact that there are many '0' input signals in CR systems, a low-power FFT design method for NC-OFDM is proposed. An efficient zero flag generation technique for each stage is first presented. Then, to increase the utility of the zero flag signals, modified architectures for memory and arithmetic circuits are presented. To verify the performance of the proposed algorithm, 2048 point FFT with radix-24SDFstructureisdesignedusingVerilog HDL. The simulation results show that the power consumption of FFT is reduced considerably by the proposed algorithm.

In this paper, a Radix-8 structure for high-speed FFT is propose. Main block of the proposed FFT structure is Radix-8 DIF(Decimation In Frequency) butterfly. Even throughput of the Radix-8 FFT is twice than that of the Radix-4 FFT, implementation area of the Radix-8 is larger than that of Radix-4 FFT. But, implementation area of the proposed Radix-8 FFT was reduced by using DA(Distributed Arithmetic) for multiplication. For comparison, the 64-point FFT was implemented using conventional Radix-4 butterfly and proposed Radix-8 butterfly, respectively. The Verilog-HDL coding results for the proposed FFT structure show 49.2% cell area increment comparison with those of the conventional Radix-4 FFT structure. Namely, to speed up twice, 49.2% of area cost is required. In case of same throughput, power consumption of the proposed structure is reduced by 25.4%. Due to its efficient processing scheme, the proposed FFT structure can be used in large size of FFT like OFDM Modem.

This paper proposes a high-performance vector inner product calculation circuit for real-time object recognition based on SVM algorithm. SVM algorithm shows a higher detection rate than other object recognition algorithms. However, it requires a huge amount of computational efforts. Since vector inner product calculation is one of the major operations of SVM algorithm, it is important to implement a high-performance vector inner product calculation circuit for real-time object recognition capability. The proposed circuit adopts the pipeline architecture with six stages to increase the operating speed and makes it possible to recognize objects in real time based on SVM. The proposed circuit was described in Verilog HDL at RTL. For silicon verification, an MPW chip was fabricated using TSMC 180nm standard cell library. The operation of the implemented MPW chip was verified on the test board with test application software developed for the chip verification.

In this paper, an area-efficient feature extractor was proposed for security surveillance radar systems and FPGA-based implementation results were presented. In order to reduce the memory requirements, features extracted from Doppler profile for FFT window-size are used, while those extracted from total spectrogram for frame-size are excluded. The proposed feature extractor was design using Verilog-HDL and implemented with Xilinx Zynq-7000 FPGA device. Implementation results show that the proposed design can reduce the logic slice and memory requirements by 58.3% and 98.3%, respectively, compared with the existing research. In addition, security surveillance radar system with the proposed feature extractor was implemented and experiments to classify car, bicycle, human and kickboard were performed. It is confirmed from these experiments that the accuracy of classification is 93.4%.

This paper describes a design of cryptographic processor that implements the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) block cipher algorithm“Rijndael”. To achieve high throughput rate, a sub-pipeline stage is inserted into the round transformation block, resulting that the second half of current round function and the first half of next round function are being simultaneously operated. For area-efficient and low-power implementation the round transformation block is designed to share the hardware resources in encryption and decryption. An efficient scheme for on-the-fly key scheduling, which supports the three master-key lengths of 128-b/192-b/256-b, is devised to generate round keys in the first sub-pipeline stage of each round processing. The cryptoprocessor designed in Verilog-HDL was verified using Xilinx FPGA board and test system. The core synthesized using 0.35-${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS cell library consists of about 25,000 gates. Simulation results show that it has a throughput of about 520-Mbits/sec with 220-MHz clock frequency at 2.5-V supply.

This paper describes an efficient hardware implementation of lightweight block cipher algorithm CLEFIA. The CLEFIA crypto-processor supports for three master key lengths of 128/192/256-bit, and it is based on the modified generalized Feistel network (GFN). To minimize hardware complexity, a unified processing unit with 8 bits data-path is designed for implementing GFN that computes intermediate keys to be used in round key scheduling, as well as carries out round transformation. The GFN block in our design is reconfigured not only for performing 4-branch GFN used for round transformation and intermediate round key generation of 128-bit, but also for performing 8-branch GFN used for intermediate round key generation of 256-bit. The CLEFIA crypto-processor designed in Verilog HDL was verified by using Virtex5 XC5VSX50T FPGA device. The estimated throughput is 81.5 ~ 60 Mbps with 112 MHz clock frequency.
