Therefore, a design generator of single-path delay feedback type of an FFT processor, that permits continuous input and output data streaming has been captured inside Chisel hardware construction language. It supports a wide range of parameter settings, like input data and twiddle factor widths, FFT sizes and number of stages, three radices, different scaling and rounding methods after each butterfly or dragonfly stage, among others, thus enabling an agile design space exploration. A comparison with commercially available FFTs which were specifically tailored for the particular FPGA platforms proves that FFT generator instances can be both performance-and resource-competitive with state of the art designs.","PeriodicalId":391606,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 31st International Conference on Microelectronics (MIEL)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122956942","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}

Here, we consider an Artix-7 FPGA for the implementations using Vivado 2018.3. For 32-bit addition, the proposed approximate adder with an 8-bit least significant inaccurate sub-adder reports an improvement in the maximum frequency by 7.7% compared to the native accurate FPGA adder while consuming 22% fewer LUTs and 18.6% fewer registers. For 64-bit addition, the proposed approximate adder reports an increase in the maximum frequency by 9.1% than the accurate FPGA adder while consuming 11% fewer LUTs and 9.3% fewer registers. The power-delay product (PDP) is computed as the product of total on-chip power consumption and the minimum clock period. The proposed approximate adder achieves 14.7% and 9.3% reductions in PDP compared to the accurate FPGA adder for 32- and 64-bit additions respectively.

A modelling framework is proposed, which tends to be in line with earlier obtained experimental data. Since the pulsed voltage stressing caused generally lower shifts as compared to static stressing performed at the same temperature with equal stress voltage magnitude, different kind of models are considered for static and pulsed stressing. Differences between static and pulsed NBT stress depend on both stress duty cycle and frequency, and the differences become more significant as the duty cycle decreases and frequency increases. Because of that, described model intent to apply to specific stress signal, but also to be adaptable to different types of stress signal. Modelling of threshold voltage shifts induced by pulsed negative bias temperature stress has been done on the bases of experimental results.","PeriodicalId":391606,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 31st International Conference on Microelectronics (MIEL)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131669392","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}
