In addition, it includes a clock buffer to generate the low jitter clock from the signal source outside the chip. Reference buffer is fully integrated to provide stable differential reference voltages with little noise. A low power comparator with fast response and modest offset is also presented.

Such battery packs require advanced Battery Management Systems (BMSs), which are contributions from the embedded systems and integrated circuits domain. The BMS monitors and controls the battery cells in a pack and ensures the functionality, efficiency, safety and reliability of the pack. Conventional BMS designs employ a centralized controller architecture for the whole battery pack. Recently, Smart Battery Cells have been proposed which enable a complete decentralization of the BMS. In Smart Battery Cells, each cell is equipped with a Cell Management Unit (CMU) which individually manages the cell it is attached to. By communication with other Smart Battery Cells, the pack-level functionality of the BMS is provided in a distributed fashion. While this architecture provides many benefits such as scalability, minimal integration effort and increased functional safety, existing design and verification methodologies can neither be applied on hardware nor on software level. Consequently, this contribution will discuss how such methodologies for Smart Battery Cells could be developed and points out which further research contributions are needed. For this purpose, we address modeling and simulation of cyberphysical aspects on all abstraction levels and illustrate how verification approaches can be introduced to this new field of application.","PeriodicalId":159343,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Symposium on Integrated Circuits (ISIC)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127607441","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}

A H-bridge configuration DC-DC converter is designed to harvest PV energy and deliver energy to applications of Internet of Thing (IOT). The main converter consists of a single inductor with two inputs and two outputs. It regulates a constant 1V output voltage for several applications such as sensors and signal transmitters. The surplus energy is stored in a rechargeable battery. The battery also serves as a secondary input source to provide energy to the output load in heavy-load condition. Due to the limited energy of the system, the power consumption of the power system is optimized by several techniques. A perturb-and-observe maximum power point tracker (MPPT) is implemented to maximize the power extracted from the PV harvester. Pulse-width modulation (PWM) and pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) are used to regulate the output voltage. The controller is designed mainly in digital and free of power-hungry circuits. The proposed converter occupies an area of 1.44mm2. The estimated peak power efficiency is 84% while driving 3–10µA load current.","PeriodicalId":159343,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Symposium on Integrated Circuits (ISIC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131224212","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}

Side-by-side, software implementations of ECC are plagued with several implementation specific attacks. Reconfigurable hardware accelerators for ECC can solve both these problems. It can provide the necessary speeds to match the performance requirements of the applications, and can also provide an isolated environment, which can prevent several known attacks. In this paper, we demonstrate a reconfigurable hardware accelerator for OpenSSL's implementation of ECC, and show how a low cost hardware platform is sufficient to double performance.","PeriodicalId":159343,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Symposium on Integrated Circuits (ISIC)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114345448","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}
