As increasing the number of IPs integrated in a single chip and requiring high communication bandwidth on a chip, the trend of SoC communication architecture is changed from bus- or crossbar-based architecture to packet switched network architecture, NoC. However, highly complex control logics in routers require multiple cycles to switch packet. In this paper, we design low complex router to improve the communication latency. Our NoC design is verified by simulation platform modeled by ESL tool, SoC Designer. We also evaluate our NoC design comparing to the previous NoC architecture based on VC router. Our results show that our NoC architecture has less communication latency, even small throughput degradation (about 1-2%).

In this research, we developed a biosensor to detect lung cancer-specific biomarker using Anodic Aluminum Oxide (AAO) chip based on interference and nano surface plasmon resonance (nanoSPR). The nano-porous AAO chip was fabricated $2{\mu}m$ of pore-depth by two-step anodizing method for surface uniformity. NanoSPR has sensitivity to the refractive index (RI) of the surrounding medium and also provides simple and label-free detection when specific antibodies are immobilized to the Au-deposited surface of nano-porous AAO chip. To detect the lung cancer-specific biomarker, antibodies were immobilized on the surface of the chip by Self Assembled Monolayer (SAM) method. Since then lung cancer-specific biomarker was applied atop the antibodies immobilized layer. The specific reaction of the antigen-antibody contributed to the change in the refractive index that cause shift of resonance spectrum in the interference pattern. The Limit of Detection (LOD) was 1 fg/ml by using our nano-porous AAO biosensor chip.

실리콘 처리 기술의 고속화 요구와 유무선 환경에서 동영상 통신이 가능한 비디오 폰, 영상 회의 시스템, 이동 통신용 단말기 등의 전자 제품 사용자의 급증은 시스템을 하나의 칩에 집적화하는 SoC(System-On-a-Chip) 설계 기술을 요구하고 있다. 칩의 복잡도와 SoC 제품의 생산성 차이가 계속적으로 증가함에 따라 현재의 IC 설계 방법으로는 SoC 제품의 성능과 요구의 변화를 만족시킬 수 없다. 칩의 면적을 최소화하고 성능을 최대화하며 게이트 수준의 최적화를 통한 기존의 셀 기반 설계 방법으로는 설계의 생산성 문제를 해결할 수 없다. 이러한 문제를 해결 위한 새로운 설계 방법인 IP 재사용을 기반으로 한 플랫폼 기반 설계가 제시되었다. 플랫폼 기반 설계는 SoC 제품을 빠르게 개발하기 위한 응용 기반 통합 플랫폼과 재사용이 가능한 IP(Intellectual Property) 이용한 플랫폼 기반 설계(Platform-Based Design) 방법이다. 새로운 설계 방법은 90% 이상의 IP 재사용을 통해서 설계 시간을 단축하며, 시스템 수준에서의 최적화를 통해서 제품의 시장 경쟁력(Time-to-Market)의 문제를 해결하기 위한 방법이다.

This paper presents compact cryptographic hardware architecture suitable for the Mobile Trusted Module (MTM) that requires low-area and low-power characteristics. The built-in cryptographic engine in the MTM is one of the most important circuit blocks and contributes to the performance of the whole platform because it is used as the key primitive supporting digital signature, platform integrity and command authentication. Unlike personal computers, mobile platforms have very stringent limitations with respect to available power, physical circuit area, and cost. Therefore special architecture and design methods for a compact cryptographic hardware module are required. The proposed cryptographic hardware has a chip area of 38K gates for RSA and 12.4K gates for unified SHA-1 and SHA-256 respectively on a 0.25um CMOS process. The current consumption of the proposed cryptographic hardware consumes at most 3.96mA for RSA and 2.16mA for SHA computations under the 25MHz.

This paper implements mobile Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) receiver using Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology. SDR system is difficult to implement on the mobile handset because of restrictions that are computing power and under space constraints. The implemented receiver processes mobile WiMAX software modem on Open Multimedia Application Platform (OMAP) System on Chip (SoC) and Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). OMAP SoC is composed of ARM processor and Digital Signal Processor (DSP). ARM processor supports Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) instruction which could operate on a vector of data with a single instruction and DSP is powerful image and video accelerators. For this reason, we suggest the possibility of SDR technology in the mobile handset. In order to verify the performance of the mobile WiMAX receiver, we measure the software modem runtime respectively. The experimental results show that the proposed receiver is able to do real-time signal processing.

The existing underwater acoustic communications modem is developing based on commercial products, so it is possible on functionality and performance of under water acoustic communications modem implementation. But the production of development system is required to single platform system implementation at the system' s size and cost. So this thesis designs and implements the signal processing module as an important role to single hardware platform production of underwater acoustic communication modem by using TigerSHARC DSP chip.

In this paper, we implemented the HearCAM platform with Raspberry PI B+ model which is an open source platform. Raspberry PI B+ model consists of dual step-down (buck) power supply with polarity protection circuit and hot-swap protection, Broadcom SoC BCM2835 running at 700MHz, 512MB RAM solered on top of the Broadcom chip, and PI camera serial connector. In this paper, we used the Google speech recognition engine for recognizing the voice characteristics, and implemented the pattern matching with OpenCV software, and extended the functionality of speech ability with SVOX TTS(Text-to-speech) as the matching result talking to the microphone of users. And therefore we implemented the functions of the HearCAM for identifying the voice and pattern characteristics of target image scanning with PI camera with gathering the temperature sensor data under IoT environment. we implemented the speech recognition, pattern matching, and temperature sensor data logging with Wi-Fi wireless communication. And then we directly designed and made the shape of HearCAM with 3D printing technology.
