However, existing CAD tools usually lack of design visibility due to the imperfect link between test and design environments. In this paper, we introduce a series of design visibility enhancement tools to augment FA process flow. These tools not only feature design comprehension and logic tracing capability, but also expand and correlate silicon data to design functionality. With the seamless visibility enhancement environment, we show the FA process can be performed more efficiently.","PeriodicalId":246670,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Symposium on VLSI Design, Automation and Test","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116689830","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 typical SoC contains one or more micro-controllers, several peripherals and embedded memories. In the software arena, there is a whole lot of embedded software that goes into products, built using these complex SoCs. In this era of consumer driven economy, all the product design groups are under a tremendous pressure to meet the aggressive time-to-market schedules and still deliver the right solution the first time. This creates a need for having a robust product flow, which enables different teams to work simultaneously and coherently. Following are some of the key activities in any product development flow. • System Engineering • Map customer requirements to design features. • Optimize design to meet the requirements in the best possible way. • Hardware design • Design, develop and integrate different Hardware (HW) or design modules/blocks • Develop reference models for validating different modules/blocks/sub-systems • Software development • Design, develop and integrate different Software (SW) modules • Develop reference models for validating these modules/sub-systems • System Validation • Build a system • Port the software onto the system • Validate the system with true system scenarios. • Customer Delivery","PeriodicalId":246670,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Symposium on VLSI Design, Automation and Test","volume":"248 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126788539","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 cost efficient FEQ is composed of three parts: channel estimation, filtering and updating processes. Significantly, the computing complexity of multiplication for the cost efficient approach can totally yield 19% reduction compared with the conventional approach. In view of the memory arrangement in VLSI design, the area and power can be decreased by 70% and 50% respectively for the channel estimation. In the updating, 18% reduction is obtained for both area and power. According to the uncoded SER simulation, the proposed approach is identical with the conventional approach.

This peak detector tracks the output voltage of a LNA/VCO and the measured signal is used to tune the LNA/VCO to the desired frequency. Different peak detector circuit topologies are analyzed and their performance metrics such as gain, bandwidth and nature of response are compared. The peak detectors were designed for low (2.4GHz) and high (55–60 GHz) frequency application and tested using two sample LNAs at their respective frequencies. While one of the proposed CMOS peak detectors (90nm) exploits the higher ƒT to achieve 60GHz operation with optimal power consumption and area overhead, the other low frequency peak detector was designed in 180nm CMOS. The peak detector is compared with the state of the art detectors. The main advantage of this detector is its minimal area overhead and power consumption.","PeriodicalId":246670,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Symposium on VLSI Design, Automation and Test","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134278846","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 explores techniques to combine the two entropy decoding methods, context-based adaptive binary arithmetic coding (CABAC) and context-based adaptive variable length coding (CAVLC), defined in the H.264 standard using the coarse-grain reconfigurable architecture. Coarsegrain reconfigurable architectures can provide obvious advantages over their fine-grain counterparts for some specific applications. By analyzing the similarities and differences between these two decoding processes, we show how to effectively merge CAVLC into a CABAC decoder. Experimental results reveal that about 1.5K savings in gate counts can be obtained using the proposed reconfigurable cell (RC) architecture, which corresponds to 25.4% area savings in implementing the CAVLC decoder. Moreover, using the idle time in RC arrays, the base cell can be extended to carry out the inverse discrete cosine transform with very limited overhead. Our entropy decoder design, operated in 66 MHz, can decode video sequences at MP@ Level 3.0 under the real-time constraint.","PeriodicalId":246670,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Symposium on VLSI Design, Automation and Test","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116279037","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}
