This paper presents the architecture design of a high-speed, low-complexity 128-point radix-$2^4$ FFT processor for ultra-wideband (UWB) systems. The proposed high-speed, low-complexity FFT architecture can provide a higher throughput rate and low hardware complexity by using 2-parallel data-path scheme and single-path delay-feedback (SDF) structure. This paper presents the key ideas applied to the design of high-speed, low-complexity FFT processor, especially that for achieving high throughput rate and reducing hardware complexity. The proposed FFT processor has been designed and implemented with the 0.18-m CMOS technology in a supply voltage of 1.8 V. The throughput rate of proposed FFT processor is up to 1 Gsample/s while it requires much smaller hardware complexity.

This paper presents a low-power, low-complexity design and implementation results of a high speed multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) wireless LAN (WLAN) baseband processor. The proposed processor is composed of the physical layer convergence procedure (PLCP) processor and physical medium dependent (PMD) processor, which have been optimized to have low-power and reduced-complexity architecture. It was designed in a hardware description language (HDL) and synthesized to gate-level circuits using 0.18um CMOS standard cell library. As a result, the proposed TX-PLCP processor reduced the power consumption by as much as 81% over the bit-level operation architecture. Also, the proposed MIMO symbol detector reduced the hardware complexity by 18% over the conventional SQRD-based architecture with division circuits and square root operations.

Upcoming ground-breaking applications for always-on tiny interconnected devices steadily demand two-fold features of processor cores: aggressively low power consumption and enhanced performance. We propose implementation of a novel superscalar low-power processor core with a low supply voltage. The core implements intra-core low-power microarchitecture with minimal performance degradation in instruction fetch, branch prediction, scheduling, and execution units. The inter-core lockstep not only detects malfunctions during low-voltage operation but also carries out software-based recovery. The chip incorporates a pair of cores, high-speed memory, and peripheral interfaces to be implemented with a 65nm node. The processor core consumes only 24mW at 350MHz and 0.68V, resulting in power efficiency of $80{\mu}W/MHz$. The operating frequency of the core reaches 850MHz at 1.2V.

This paper presents a mechanical sensorless vector-controlled system with parameter identification by the aid of image processor. Based on the flux observer and the model reference adaptive system method, the proposed sensorless system includes rotor speed estimation and stator resistance identification using flux errors. Since the mathematical model of this system is constructed in a synchronously rotating reference frame, a linear model is easily derived for analyzing the system stability, including motor operating state and parameter variations. Because it is difficult to identify rotor resistance simultaneously while estimating rotor speed, a low-accuracy image processor is used to measure the mechanical axis position for calculating the rotor speed at a steady-state operation. The rotor resistance is identified by the error between the estimated speed using the estimated flux and the calculated speed using the image processor. Finally, the validity of this proposed system has been proven through experimentation.

In this paper, a high speed distance relay, using a digital signal processor(DSP) is presented. The idea of the protective algorithm is based on the least square method using minimum data window to minimize the relay operating time. A new disign concept for a low-pass filter is proposed. This analog low pass filter has minimum transient response time. The main processor of the relay is TMS320C31. According to a series of real time tests, the proposed protective relay shows reliable and fast operating characteristics.

This paper presents a novel high-speed, low-complexity flexible 128/64-point $radix-2^4$ FFT/IFFT processor for the applications in high-throughput MIMO-OFDM systems. The high radix multi-path delay feed-back (MDF) FFT architecture provides a higher throughput rate and low hardware complexity by using a four-parallel data-path scheme. The proposed processor not only supports the operation of FFT/IFFT in 128-point and 64-point but can also provide a high data processing rate by using a four-parallel data-path scheme. Furthermore, the proposed design has a less hardware complexity compared with traditional 128/64-point FFT/IFFT processors. Our proposed processor has a high throughput rate of up to 560Msample/s at 140MHz while requiring much smaller hardware expenditure satisfying IEEE 802.11n standard requirements.

There are several methods in controlling resonant converters to regulate the output with low switching losses. In this paper, Pulse-width modulation method or current controlled method is applied to regulate the output with low switching losses. In digital implementation of resonant converter systems, the speed of the applied processor is very critical since the switching frequency is very high. Thus the various possible candidates of microprocessors are evaluated for the implementation of resonant converter systems. Then too design methods and techniques are desioribed when single chip processor is used to simplify hardware requirements.
