In these days, many parts of EV have been developed with electrical systems, and it makes a growth of energy storage system named battery. Therefore, to make many type of batteries safer and more reliable, BMS is employed and implemented together in EV. The BMS monitors many kinds of battery states and is responsible to manage its charging and discharging. SOC is a key parameter in judging by BMS, and therefore it is certainly important to estimate the SOC accurately. Many SOC estimation methods have been studied, and extended Kalman-filter (EKF) based methods show the best performance. However, they have high computation complexity. In this paper, adaptively combination of EKF and conventional Coulomb counting method is proposed. Finally, the proposed adaptive method shows within 2% error with 70% decreased complexity compared to EKF.","PeriodicalId":270577,"journal":{"name":"2020 International SoC Design Conference (ISOCC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133705007","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}

SNNs are often trained using lightweight unsupervised learning such as Spike Time Dependent Plasticity (STDP). However, STDP is prone to redundant time steps during training since STDP cannot determine current image needs further training or not. To reduce redundant time steps and lower energy costs during STDP training, we propose a novel technique that terminates training upon an image preemptively. The proposed technique reduces time steps by 44% with accuracy drop of 0.91% on MNIST.","PeriodicalId":270577,"journal":{"name":"2020 International SoC Design Conference (ISOCC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132858043","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 proposed circuit uses series connection of diode connected MOSFETs. As the temperature rises, the gate-source voltage of the diode connected MOSFET increases for large current per unit channel width whereas it decreases for small current. Hence when both MOSFETs are connected in series, their gate-source voltages are added, which can have small temperature coefficient. Based on this principle, a reference voltage insensitive to temperature can be generated.","PeriodicalId":270577,"journal":{"name":"2020 International SoC Design Conference (ISOCC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129117741","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 propose a hardware prefetcher that integrates three prefetching algorithms and statically allocates a prefetching algorithm that provides better performance to each workload in a multicore processor.
