It, however, would require tremendous human efforts if the test platform would be generated manually. In this paper, we describe a design automation system, called DASTEP (design automation system for SOC test platform), that is aimed to help users build a test platform and incorporate their IP designs into the platform. DASTEP provides an interactive mode to allow users to modify individual IP cores into 1149.1-or 1500-compatible ones and integrate them into the test platform. For a hierarchical core, DASTEP can synthesize a hierarchical test control architecture such that each core in the hierarchy can be efficiently tested in a 1149.1-compatible manner. All of the test procedures using this test platform are carried out on the chip through the cooperation of an embedded processor that usually exists in an SOC design and a dedicated test-access-mechanism (TAM) controller that can be automatically generated. Appropriate simulation environment that allows the simulation of the entire test flow is also created in conjunction with the generation of the test hardware/software, hence the verification of both core design and test plan can be readily carried out. A friendly graphic user interface tool is also developed that can greatly simplify the generation and simulation of the test platform.","PeriodicalId":137915,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Symposium on VLSI Design, Automation and Test (VLSI-DAT)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127201533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Baseline and progressive JPEG are the two of the most popular formats. While the challenge to design a baseline JPEG decoder is mainly the computation complexity, the challenge to design a progressive JPEG decoder imposes on the size of the available working memory and the rate of data transfer between the decoder and the storage. This paper presents a memory-efficient progressive JPEG decoder for embedded systems with limited working memory. Two progressive JPEG rendering flows, one-pass and multi-pass flows, are proposed to improve the most time-consuming data transfer and arithmetic operations during the rendering procedure. The using of dynamically adaptive rendering flow makes proposed progressive JPEG decoder well suited to a wide range of image processing applications in consumer products.","PeriodicalId":137915,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Symposium on VLSI Design, Automation and Test (VLSI-DAT)","volume":"2015 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121324915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In RTL design, we use pre-computation, differential encoding, hardware sharing, time-multiplexing R/W of memory, low power arithmetic architecture so that each block can reduce power from 3% to 26%. In system level, the proposed DPM (dynamic power manager) is a power control unit for our system. When the system enters the offset tracking mode, the DPM controls the power states of system blocks between the GI (guard interval) period and symbol period. The power reduction ratio ranges from 3%~20% (it depends on the Gl mode). Moreover, a predicted phase scheme is proposed to provide the initial phase offset for the start of symbol period during offset tracking mode. The overall reduction for synchronization loop is about 50% in both hardware area and power.","PeriodicalId":137915,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Symposium on VLSI Design, Automation and Test (VLSI-DAT)","volume":"273 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116420670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents the LLC-OCV methodology, which adopts the Monte Carlo analysis to enhance the location-based OCV (LOCV) with gate-level and cell-based perspectives, to be used as a reasonable and complete intra-die process model for STA (statistic timing analysis) sign-off. This new approach shows good prediction for STA sign-off. With LLC-OCV methodology, this paper has correctly identified timing problems in real silicon projects of 0.13 mum process in STA sign-off stage. Comparing the STA results of LOCV and LLC-OCV methodology, our experiment shows that LLC-OCV approach can avoid pessimistic analysis and save chip area.","PeriodicalId":137915,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Symposium on VLSI Design, Automation and Test (VLSI-DAT)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116807253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed NMOS DFC can immunize the DC offset and increase isolation. The AL is used to increase gain and achieve wide-gain variation. In this paper, theoretical analyses of conversion gain and linearity have been described in detail. The proposed mixer is implemented in TSMC CMOS 0.18 mum process to evaluate its performance. The measured results, according to RF of 5.25 GHz and IF of 800 KHz, show the isolation of 57.35 dB between RF and LO, and the variable conversion gain between -28.02 dB and 6.21 dB. Meanwhile, the high linearity is also achieved by referring to input compression point (IIPIdB) of -16 dBm, input second order intercept point (IIP2) of 17.66 dBm, input third order intercept point (IIP3) of -3.945 dBm.

Power management technique is then required to bring down the power consumption. One of the most effective methods is to reduce the power supply voltage in the standby mode or in the power down active mode. In this paper, a simple on-chip voltage down converter is proposed. By designing an internal reference voltage that is proportional to the device threshold voltage, the SRAM cell circuit states can be preserved within a broad range of power supply and temperature. For the 1V-to-0.6V dc-dc conversion, this on-chip VDC only consumes 156 muW standby power and is within 2 mV output voltage variation for load current varying from 1 mu A to 10 mA. By comparing with other power management techniques, the on-chip VDC method is excellent in the static power saving, overall design simplicity and small layout area.","PeriodicalId":137915,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Symposium on VLSI Design, Automation and Test (VLSI-DAT)","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116126932","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
