Each PE contains a RISC processor core for controlling tasks and a low-level coprocessor (LCP) for fast processing of computation-intensive convolution-type tasks. The LCP consists of an arithmetic processing unit (APU), a controlling unit (CU), and a local memory (LM). The APU consists of four identical parallel and pipelined data paths with a common multi-operand accumulator. The results of the APU are stored in the LM for faster access. Address sequences for the LM are generated by the microprogrammable CU which is supervised by the RISC processor. At a clock rate of 66 MHz, a single PE provides a peak arithmetic performance of more than 1 GOPS. The basic arithmetic units (adders, multipliers, multioperand accu, shifter and ALU) and the single-, dual- and quad-port SRAMs used in RISC and LCP are implemented as full-custom macros.","PeriodicalId":162539,"journal":{"name":"1996 IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference.

The folding architecture can be considered as a time-continuous two-step architecture. This means that a sample-and-hold amplifier is not necessary in this type of A/D converter. However, due to the folding operation, the internal frequency in the analog folding preprocessing will be a multiple of the input signal frequency. The result is a limited analog input signal frequency, less than full flash A/D converters achieve. This paper describes an A/D converter architecture in 0.5 /spl mu/m CMOS technology, incorporating a distributed track-and-hold (T/H) operation in the analog folding preprocessing, overcoming the previously-mentioned limitation, Maximum clock frequency is 80 MHz at a power dissipation of 80 mW from a 3.3 V supply voltage. The analog preprocessing reduces the requirements for the differential T/H amplifiers equal to the number of reference operations compared to a single T/H amplifier in front of the A/D converter.","PeriodicalId":162539,"journal":{"name":"1996 IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference.

Consumer pressure for small camcorder size and low power have lead to the development of a system in which all the functions previously residing on a bipolar chip have been incorporated on the same CMOS die with the ADC, including a CDS block, an amplifier with variable gain from 0 to 34 dB, a black-level correction loop, an input clamp and a voltage reference. An emitter follower buffer is traditionally used between the CCD and the rest of the system for line driving, but this is the only portion of the analog signal chain external to the chip.","PeriodicalId":162539,"journal":{"name":"1996 IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference.

The frequency synthesizer presented here features low reference spurs and low phase-noise and is fully-integrated with the exception of an external crystal and an RC loop-filter. It uses a 25 GHz f/sub /spl tau// silicon bipolar process and is for 900 MHz ISM band applications and operates over a supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.0 V.
