LTPS TFT의 개발과 성능 향상은 패널에 다양한 디지털 회로를 내장하는 SOP의 비약적 발전에 기여하였다. 본 논문에서는 일반적으로 적용되는 낮은 성능의 CMOS 논리게이트를 대체할 수 있는 전류모드 논리(CML) 게이트의 설계 방법을 소개한다. CML 인버터는 낮은 로직스윙, 빠른 응답 특성을 갖도록 설계할 수 있음을 보였으며 높은 소비전력의 단점도 동작 속도가 높아질수록 CMOS의 경우와 근사해졌다. 아울러 전류 구동능력을 키울 필요가 없는 까닭에 많은 수의 소자가 사용되지만 면적은 오히려 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 특히 비반전 및 반전 출력이 동시에 생성되므로 noise immunity가 우수하다. 다수 입력을 갖는 NAND/AND 및 NOR/OR 게이트는 같은 회로에 입력신호를 바꾸어 구현할 수 있고 MUX와 XNOR/XOR 게이트도 같은 회로를 사용하여 구현할 수 있음을 보였다. 결론적으로 CML 게이트는 다양한 함수를 단순한 몇가지의 회로로 구성할 수 있으며 낮은 소비전력, 적은 면적, 개선된 동작속도 등을 동시에 추구할 수 있는 대안임을 확인하였다.

The main purpose of this paper is to look into the relationship between pavilion and exhibit in Rodin Gallery. Rodin Gallery is intended to accommodate The Gates of Hell and The Burghers of Calais, two materpieces by the French sculptor Auguste Rodin. In order to retain Rodin's intent, the museum designed by KPF is constructed primarily of glass, which maximizes natural light and minimizes shadows. Thematically, the Glass Pavilion was designed to provide a place of relaxation in a highly urban environment.

In this paper, an on-chip learning pulse-mode digital neural network with a massively parallel yet compact and flexible network architecture is suggested. Algebraic neural operations are replaced by stochastic processes using pseudo-random sequences and simple logic gates are used as basic computing elements. Using Back-propagation algorithm both feed-forward and learning phases are efficiently implemented with simple logical gates. RNG architecture using LFSR and barrel shifter are adopted to avoid some correlation between pulse trains. Suggested network is designed in digital circuit and its performance is verified by computer simulation.

AlAs/GaAs/AlAs RTDs(Resonant Tunneling Diodes) are fabricated and current-voltage properties of them are measured. At room temperature, peak to valley ratio is 2.4 NOT.AND.OR logic gates and Flip-Flop are fabricated using the bistable characteristics of RTDs. Although NOT.AND.OR logic gates need 5~8 transistors. only one RTD is sufficient to fabricate the logic gates. Since the switching time is very short(<10$^12$sec), it is possible to drive the semiconductor circuits fast and integrate them very large. And it is convinced the possibility of integrating RTDs to multilevel logic circuits by observing two peaks of similar current in the serial connection of two RTDs.

CMOS기술의 발전에 따라 디지탈 회로를 실현하는데 complex gate 구조를 많이 사용하게 되었다. CMOS complex gate에 대해 내부 게이트 응답과 unknown state등을 고려하여 모든 stuck-open(이하 s-op)과 stuck-on(이하 s-on) 고장을 검출할 수 있는 새로운 테스트 생성 알고리즘이 제소되었다 이 알고리즘은 minimal하고 complete한 테스트 집합을 구할 수 있게 해준다. 또한, 임의의 CMOS complex gate 회로에 대해 본 알고리즘을 적용시켜, 컴퓨터를 통해 그와 같은 테스트 집합이 구해짐을 입증하였다.

A noncoherent full-digital PN(pseudo noise) code acquisition/tracking loop has been presetned and implemented in FPGA for the CDMA band-limited direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DS-SS) signals. It employs a simple decimator to control of local PN code phase to lower the hardware cost, and a second order loop to enable the more accurate tracking. The proposed acquisition/tracking loop has been designed in RTL-level VHDL, synthesized into logic gates using the design analyzer of synopsys software, implemented in an ALTERA FPGA chip, and tested. The number of logic gates used in the implemented FPGA chip is around 7000. The functionality has been verified using a PC interface circuitry and a logic analyzer.

Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) cover all the applications involving the use of Evolutionary Computation in electronic system design. It is largely applied to complex optimization problems. EAs introduce a new idea for automatic design of electronic systems; instead of imagine model, ions, and conventional techniques, it uses search algorithm to design a circuit. In this paper, a method for automatic optimization of the digital circuit design method has been introduced. This method is based on randomized search techniques mimicking natural genetic evolution. The proposed method is an iterative procedure that consists of a constant-size population of individuals, each one encoding a possible solution in a given problem space. The structure of the circuit is encoded into a one-dimensional genotype as represented by a finite string of bits. A number of bit strings is used to represent the wires connection between the level and 7 types of possible logic gates; XOR, XNOR, NAND, NOR, AND, OR, NOT 1, and NOT 2. The structure of gates are arranged in an $m{\times}n$ matrix form in which m is the number of input variables.

In this paper, we introduce a fully synthesizable 32-bit embedded microprocessor core called the AE32000B. The AE32000B core is based on the extendable instruction set computer architecture, so it has high code density and a low memory access rate. In order to improve the performance of the core, we developed and adopted various design options, including the load extension register instruction (LERI) folding unit, a high performance multiply and accumulate (MAC) unit, various DSP units, and an efficient coprocessor interface. The instructions per cycle count of the Dhrystone 2.1 benchmark for the designed core is about 0.86. We verified the synthesizability and the area and time performances of our design using two CMOS standard cell libraries: a 0.35-${\mu}m$ library and a 0.18-${\mu}m$ library. With the 0.35-${\mu}m$ library, the core can be synthesized with about 47,000 gates and operate at 70 MHz or higher, while it can be synthesized with about 53,000 gates and operate at 120 MHz or higher with the 0.18-${\mu}m$ library.

In spite of the presence of various kind of Integrated Circuits it's not always easy to get the right part. Besides, it is hard to find a vendor for a small quantity consumers like who develop prototype applications. In this study, we've tried to get the logical signals from the PC based device we've developed that correspondents with the real ICs. It can emulate decoder ICs, multiplexers, demultiplexers and basic logic gates.

This paper describes the design and implementation results of 40, 32, 24 and 16kbps ADPCM encoder and decoder circuit, based on the protocol CCITT G.726. We verified the ADPCM algorithm using C language and designed the RTL circuit with Verilog HDL. The circuit has been simulated by Verilog-XL, synthesized by Design Compiler and verified using Xilinx FPGA. Since the synthesized circuit includes a small number of gates, it is expected to be used as a core module in the digital voice and image processing SOC.
