Even though a digital DLL circuit is much easier to design than its analog counterparts, our prior experience shows that weeks of efforts, if not months, could still be wasted in order to find a process resilient configuration for a specific DLL requirement. Thus, we propose in this work a cell-based DLL architecture and its compiler. According to a user's demand, our DLL compiler can generate a cell-based DLL circuit in just minutes, it can support easy process migration, and thereby saving a large amount of human efforts spent in tuning DLL designs for different manufacturing processes. Transistor-level simulation has been used to validate its ability in a 0.18 CMOS process and a 90nm CMOS process. It can support input clock frequency up to 1GHz in 0.18 μm, and 1.25GHz in 90nm.","PeriodicalId":278207,"journal":{"name":"2016 International SoC Design Conference (ISOCC)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125635576","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}

Its advanced ADAS algorithms deliver highly improved detection rate eventually. For the efficient method, we construct the image pyramid directly rather than using the approximate features at nearby scale for providing greater accuracy. To actualize it in an effective way, we design the detector separately as two parts - H/W part and S/W part. In other words, H/W part generates pyramid images and extracts features then does classification. S/W part does clustering from the H/W classification result using NMS. As a simulation result, the performance is 18%@10-1FPPI in the INRIA DB. According to well-defined system partitioning, it offers faster calculation and securing higher detection rate.","PeriodicalId":278207,"journal":{"name":"2016 International SoC Design Conference (ISOCC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115398059","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}
