The two techniques are support vector machine(SVM) and artificial neural networks(ANN). The two techniques are pretrained on software and only the classifiers are hardware implemented and tested. A comparison of the two techniques is performed on the levels of performance, energy consumption and area. The SVM is pretrained using gradient ascent (GA) algorithm, while the neural network is implemented with single hidden layer. It is found that the ANN consumes more power than the SVM by a factor of 4 with almost the same performance. However, the ANN finishes classification in much less number of clock cycles than the SVM by a factor of 34.","PeriodicalId":287815,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 62nd International Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems (MWSCAS)","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127444847","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 principle and design of the TDC are presented first. It is followed with an in-depth investigation of the impact of process uncertainty on the building blocks of the TDC. An effective calibration technique capable of minimizing the impact of process uncertainty on the performance of the TSC is proposed. The TDC is designed in a 130 nm 1.2 V CMOS technology and analyzed using Spectre with BSIM4 device models. Simulation results demonstrate that process spread has a significant impact of the delay of the building blocks of the TDC subsequently the performance of the TDC. The detrimental impact of process uncertainty can be minimized by optimizing the TDC at SS (slow NMOS/slow PMOS) corner and adjusting the delay of the key delay blocks and that of the gated delay stages of the TDC in TT (typical NMOS/typical PMOS) and at FF (fast NMOS/fast PMOS) corner to their respective SS-corner value.","PeriodicalId":287815,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 62nd International Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems (MWSCAS)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116407842","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 work proposes a compact supervisory circuit to classify the operation of a Bluetooth (BT) SoC at low frequencies by monitoring the input power and radio frequency (RF) output of the BT chip passed through an envelope detector. The idea is to inexpensively fabricate an envelope detector, power supply current monitor, and classification algorithm on a custom low-frequency integrated circuit in a trusted legacy technology. When the supervisory circuit detects unexpected behavior, it can shut off power to the BT SoC. In this preliminary work, we proto-type the supervisory circuit using off-the-shelf components. We extract simple yet descriptive features from the envelope of the RF output signal. Then, we train machine learning (ML) models to classify different BT operation modes, such as BT advertising and transmit modes. Our results show ∼100% classification accuracy.","PeriodicalId":287815,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 62nd International Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems (MWSCAS)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122673351","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}

Generally, such algorithms consist of computation intensive instructions. The performance of general purpose processor based system is a bottleneck because of its sequential nature. FPGA based hardware solution can be an alternative for such problems. Due to its architecture, FPGA can exploit spatial and temporal parallelization and hence the performance with respect to execution time and area can be improved. However, creating hardware with the help of a hardware description language (HDL), such as VHDL, is a complex and time taking process. High-level synthesis (HLS) tools can be employed to resolve this issue. This paper discusses the approach to optimize the HLS based hardware architecture for plenoptic 3D image processing algorithm. It is an iterative process that requires low-level knowledge of the hardware workflow. The results show that the performance is improved.","PeriodicalId":287815,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 62nd International Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems (MWSCAS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122849056","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}
