Field programmable gate array 기반 시간-디지털 변환기(Time to Digital Converter)로 가장 널리 사용되는 딜레이 라인(tapped delay line) 방식은 딜레이 라인의 길이가 길어지면 정확도가 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 동일한 시간 해상도를 가지면서 딜레이 라인의 길이를 줄일 수 있도록 4 위상 클럭을 사용하고 이중 상태 판별 제어부를 가지는 시간-디지털 변환기 구조를 제안한다. 4 위상 클럭 별로 딜레이 라인 구성 시 발생하는 라인 간 딜레이 오차를 줄이기 위해 입력신호와 가장 가까운 클럭과의 시간 차이만 하나의 딜레이 라인으로 측정하고 어떤 위상 클럭이 사용되었는지를 판별하는 구조를 가졌다. 또한 싱크로나이저 대신 이중 상태 측정 state machine을 이용하여 메타스태이블을 판별함으로써, 싱크로나이저로 인한 딜레이 라인의 증가를 억제하였다. 제안한 시간-디지털 변환기(TDC)의 성능 측정 결과 1 ms의 측정 시간 범위에 대해 평균 분해능 22 ps, 최대 표준편차 90 ps을 가지며 비선형성은 25 ps였다.

In this paper, a clock and data recovery (CDR) circuit that supports triple data rates of 1.62, 2.7, and 5.4 Gbps for DisplayPort 1.2 standard is described. The proposed CDR circuit covers three different operating frequencies with a single VCO switching the operating frequency by the 3-bit digital code. The prototype chip has been designed and verified using a 65 nm CMOS technology. The recovered-clock jitter with the data rates of 1.62/2.7/5.4 Gbps at $2^{31}$-1 PRBS is measured to 7/5.6/4.7 $ps_{rms}$, respectively, while consuming 11 mW from a 1.2 V supply.

Technology development is leading to the invention of more sophisticated electronics appliances that require long battery life. Therefore, saving power is a major concern in current-day scenarios. A notable source of power dissipation in sequential structures of integrated circuits is due to the continuous switching of high-frequency clock signals, which do not carry any information, and hence, their switching is eliminated by a method called clock gating. In this paper, we have incorporated a recent clock-gating style named Leakage Control Transistor (LECTOR)-based clock gating to drive a multi-stage sequential architectures, and we focus on its performance under three different process corners (fast-fast, slow-slow, typical-typical) through Monte Carlo simulation at 18 GHz clock with 90 nm technology. This gating is found to be one of the best gated approaches for multi-stage architectures in terms of total power consumption.

In this paper, we describe the proposed KVN (Korean VLBI Network) clock system in order to make the observation of the VLBI effectively. In general, the GPS system is widely used for the time information in the single dish observation. In the case of VLBI observation, a very high precise frequency standard is needed to perform the observation in accordance with the observation frequency using the radio telescope with over 100km distance. The objective of the high precise clock system is to insert the time-tagging information to the observed data and to synchronize it with the same clock in overall equipments which used in station. The AHM (Active Hydrogen Maser) and clock system are basically used as a frequency standard equipments at VLBI station. This system is also adopted in KVN. The proposed KVN clock system at each station consists of the AHM, GPS time comparator, standard clock system, time distributor, and frequency standard distributor. The basic experiments were performed to check the AHM system specification and to verify the effectiveness of implemented KVN clock system. In this paper, we briefly introduce the KVN clock system configuration and experimental results.

본 논문에서는 관측소 지리적 위치에 의한 대류권 파라미터에 따른 위성 클럭오차 특성을 분석한 것으로 PANDA 소프트웨어를 이용하여 관측소 거리의 간격에 따른 GPS 위성 클럭오차에 따른 정밀단독측위의 성능을 연구하여 결과를 제시하였다. 분석 결과에 의하면 거리의 간격이 200km 이하인 경우에는 대류권 파라미터와 위성 시계 오차 파라미터의 관련성이 크며, 최대 0.8ns의 클럭 오차를 발생하였다. 또한 거리의 간격이 500km이상인 경우에는 위성 클럭 오차와 대류권 파라미터의 관련성이 현저하게 감소됨을 알 수 있었다.

Circadian rhythms, time on a scale of about 24 hours, are present in a number of organisms including animals, plants, and bacteria. The control of the biochemical, physiological and behavioral processes is regulated by endogenous clocks in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). At the core of this timing mechanism is molecular machinery that are present both in the brain and in the peripheral tissues throughout the body, and even in a single cultured cell. In this study, we performed two-dimensional gel electrophoresis to figure out any correlation between protein expression patterns and the requirement of two canonical clock proteins, either mPER1 or mPER2, by comparing global protein expression profiles in livers from wildtype or mPer1/mPer2 double mutant mice. We could identify several differentially expressed protein candidates with respect to time and genotypes. Further analysis of these candidate proteins in detail in vivo will lead us to the better understanding of how circadian clock functions in mammals.

This research paper presents an ALU unit using 1.0$\mu$m CMOS technology capable of doing IEEE standard single and double precision floating poing calculation within 32ns (2 clock) at 60 MHz clock speed. This 32ns speed was achieved by using 9ns 1's complement arithmetic 54 bit carry select adder instead of previous 2's complement adders. On the first cycle, this adder is used for addition or subtraction and the second cycle uses this adder for rounding. This reduces the number of required adders from two to one. Speed improvement is 2 to 5 times compared with previous 40MHz design. Design goal was 60MHz, however, this unit is functioning at 80 MHz at room temperature.

We propose floating point arithmetic units for geometry operation of mobile 3D graphic processor. The proposed arithmetic units conform to the single precision format of IEEE standard 754-1985 that is a standard of floating point arithmetic. The rounding algorithm applies the nearest toward zero form. The proposed adder/subtraction unit and multiplier have one clock cycle latency, and the inversion unit has three clock cycle latency. We estimate the required numbers of arithmetic operation for Viewing transformation. The first stage of geometry operation is composed with translation, rotation and scaling operation. The translation operation requires three addition and the rotation operation needs three addition and six multiplication. The scaling operation requires three multiplication. The viewing transformation is performed in 15 clock cycles. If the adder and the multiplier have their own in/out ports, the viewing transformation can be done in 9 clock cycles. The error margin of proposed arithmetic units is smaller than $10^{-5}$ that is the request in the OpenGL standard. The proposed arithmetic units carry out operations in 100MHz clock frequency.
