Currently it is one of the most widely used system design languages and is supported by major EDA vendors. The cost for developing SystemC into a stable and widely adopted system design framework has in our experience been the inherent need of rewriting complex and well-modularized system models with every new SystemC release. In this paper we present our experiences in continuous development of a system level processor model through SystemC version upgrades. The focus is on our latest transition from SystemC 1.1 to version 2.2. In our practical experience, transitions from an older version of SystemC to a newer one have always required rewriting significant amounts, if not most, of the model code. We also experimented with synthesis after the upgrade, and concluded that the synthesis capabilities of SystemC for complex object oriented models are still severely limited at best.","PeriodicalId":199376,"journal":{"name":"2008 NORCHIP","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123426736","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}

We consider the specification as a series of semi-formal textual use cases, which is a widely accepted document-based hardware specification format and suitable for automatic post-processing. We use an RFID SoC to demonstrate the benefits of our methodology. We show that it significantly reduces the time for functional verification, removes errors in the specification and detects a number of discrepancies between the RFID SoC and the RFID protocol specification.","PeriodicalId":199376,"journal":{"name":"2008 NORCHIP","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121379186","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 underlined advantage of this approach is the ability to perform a profiling algorithm that analyses the control-flow graph of user program in order to optimize the number of checkpoints (i. e., signatures) to be inserted along with the application code. By optimization, we mean to find, for a given application, the best trade-off between the minimum number of signatures to be inserted in the code, for the maximum fault detection coverage, with the minimum impact in terms of power increase. The embedded signatures are checked at runtime by the processor against compilation-time pre-computed values every time the processor reaches these signature points. Practical experiments have been carried out to demonstrate the OESM benefits when compared to conventional control-flow fault detection approaches.","PeriodicalId":199376,"journal":{"name":"2008 NORCHIP","volume":"29 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131721757","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 this paper, we review future RFID for ubiquitous intelligence and their technology needs from system to device perspectives. As a promising enabling technology, ultra wideband radio (UWB) and its use in various RFID implementations are investigated. A special focus on an UWB/UHF hybrid passive RFID and sensor system with asymmetric wireless links is studied as an example. Unlike conventional RFID systems relying on backscattering and narrowband radio, UWB is introduced as the uplink for tag to reader communication. It enables a high network throughput (2000 tag/sec), high data bandwidth (100 MHz pulse rate), under ultra low power and low cost constraint. The hardware implementation in silicon level is also presented. Finally, applications of the system in intelligent warehouse and fresh food tracker are introduced.","PeriodicalId":199376,"journal":{"name":"2008 NORCHIP","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132655472","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 comparison is conducted using simulations at 30 GHz with a 90-nm CMOS design kit. The advantage of the new passive subharmonic mixer is that it only requires a differential local oscillator (LO) signal, compared to the previously published mixer that requires a quadrature LO signal. The mixer consists of two cascaded passive mixers with an interstage second order filter suppressing harmonics while providing some 10 dB of voltage gain at the LO frequency. The noise performance of the differential mixer is slightly worse than for the quadrature one, with a simulated down conversion SSB NF of 10 dB compared to 7 dB. The voltage conversion gain is - 1 dB for both mixers, all with a 1 V LO amplitude.","PeriodicalId":199376,"journal":{"name":"2008 NORCHIP","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115430623","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 this work three popular wide-band LNA architectures are compared to a proposed parallel LNA architecture in which different amplifiers cover different frequency bands. Our study reveals that by reusing the source degenerated inductor between the different frequency bands, the parallel LNA architecture can achieve better performance than the single wide-band LNA (S11≪-10 dB, voltage gain≫15 dB, NF≪4.5 dB, power consumption≪10 mW) at the expense of a slightly increased circuit area.","PeriodicalId":199376,"journal":{"name":"2008 NORCHIP","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116032815","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}
