The design focuses on the voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) and loop bandwidth adaptation technique, which determine the out-of-band phase noise and the speed of the PLL frequency synthesizer, respectively. A low power low phase noise bond wire VCO is proposed. The inductance compensation control circuit combined with the switched-capacitor array is used to automatically compensate the bond wire inductance variation. A novel lock detector that adoptively controls the loop bandwidth is employed. Implemented in a 0.18 /spl mu/m CMOS technology and at a 1.8 V supply voltage, the PLL frequency synthesizer dissipates 24 mW and occupies a chip area of 2.6 mm/spl times/1.6 mm. The simulation results show that phase noise of the synthesizer is -122.6 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset frequency and the settling time is 70 /spl mu/s.","PeriodicalId":268122,"journal":{"name":"2004 International Symposium on System-on-Chip, 2004.

We propose a solution based on network of nodes, communicating using a packet-based protocol. This network of nodes is known as customisable modular platform (CMP). A node is a computational unit, which can be hardware core running on an FPGA, or a thread running on a processor or a DSP. Hardware nodes can span over several FPGAs or there can be several nodes on a single FPGA. The packet-based communication protocol is implemented using an interchangeable interface. This interface provides a seamless data interchange between the nodes, independent of the implementation target architecture or abstraction.

The SoC (System on Chip) design demands for novel architectural and circuital solutions to cope with the global wires issue, pushing the on-chip communication as a crucial and precious resource.

Jantsch and H. Tenhunen, \"Networks on Chip\", Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2003). We state that the availability of an efficient on-chip communication platform is one of the most important enabling factors for the development of efficient and cost effective multi processor SoC in the near and long-term future.

Dynamic delay caused by coupling capacitance between adjacent interconnections is a critical problem, as it cannot accurately be estimated in static timing analysis. This work presents a new driver circuit scheme called the crosstalk immune interconnect driver (XTIID), for capacitively coupled interconnects, which eliminates pattern-dependent coupling noise. Also, such an interconnect drive technology has the potential to facilitate the dynamic timing problem in deep submicrometer VLSI design.","PeriodicalId":268122,"journal":{"name":"2004 International Symposium on System-on-Chip, 2004.
