The amplifier topology utilizes three NMOS stack and three PMOS stack to increase the output voltage swing along with the output impedance. The load impedance is further optimized with a resistive feedback which not only results in broadband operation but also avoids a lossy broadband output matching network which reduces area significantly. Further, small interstage peaking inductors are employed to peak the parasitics capacitances that limit the broadband operation. The proposed amplifier shows a measured peak saturated output power from 13 dBm to 8.5 dBm and a P1dB of 7 dBm to 4 dBm from 0.3 GHz to 10 GHz. The measured gain is 9 dB with a gain ripple of ±1.5 dB in the entire frequency range, yielding a fractional bandwidth of 188%. The measured load-pull -1 dB, -2 dB output power contours verify the optimum impedance around 50 Ω. The active chip area is only 0.44mm2.","PeriodicalId":428994,"journal":{"name":"2015 Nordic Circuits and Systems Conference (NORCAS): NORCHIP & International Symposium on System-on-Chip (SoC)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126633740","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}

With a proper frequency planning the achievable SFDR can be increased from 12 dB to 40 dB within a band of 800MHz at the center frequency of 2.4GHz without any additional circuitry effort. Spurs caused by harmonic mixing products of the IF and LO-signals are shifted out of the band of interest. The frequency planning is based on an optimization process, which delivers the IF and LO frequencies providing the highest SFDR at a certain transmit frequency. Therefore, a new FOM calculation is presented, which contains amplitude and frequency values of spurs with a Gaussian curve based weighting. The proposed structure introduced in this paper leads to a new class of SAW-less transmitters. Furthermore, the frequency planning and optimization method can be used for all kind of systems, which contains multiple frequency sources and lead to harmonic mixing products.","PeriodicalId":428994,"journal":{"name":"2015 Nordic Circuits and Systems Conference (NORCAS): NORCHIP & International Symposium on System-on-Chip (SoC)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127727249","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}

An overview of the electromagnetic situation within wire bond power semiconductor modules is presented and a prototype chip with an on-chip coil has been manufactured as an initial attempt to investigate the feasibility of the concept. Measurements on said chip provides some insight in the challenges in on-chip coil designs.

We present analytical results of scaling the size of the second level software-managed Unified Translation Lookaside Buffer (UTLB) in terms of effect on the overall hit rate. Three design-time configurations with 16, 32, and 64 entries were used for this study. Critical path analysis of the logical design running on Altera Stratix-V FPGA is presented together with a description of optimization techniques employed in order to improve static timing performance. These optimization techniques assist in reaching 22.75% speed-up compared to non-optimized design. Moreover, maximum operating frequencies of 265, 225 and 200 MHz were achieved for UTLB sizes of 16, 32, and 64 entries, respectively. We quote worst case energy consumption figures with random input stimuli together with FPGA resource utilization characteristics for the above mentioned configurations. For resource-constrained or speed-critical hardware designs the 32-entry UTLB configuration provides a decent trade-off while the 16-entry configuration poses unsatisfactory performance. However, our target operating frequency of 200 MHz was eventually reached also for the 64-entry UTLB and hence it is our preferred option for most instantiations.","PeriodicalId":428994,"journal":{"name":"2015 Nordic Circuits and Systems Conference (NORCAS): NORCHIP & International Symposium on System-on-Chip (SoC)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127622014","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}

Design of a hybrid multicore platform for high performance reconfigurable computing 高性能可重构计算混合多核平台设计

Nurmi","doi":"10.1109/NORCHIP.2015.7364376","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/NORCHIP.2015.7364376","url":null,"abstract":"This paper presents a loosely-coupled, hybrid architecture of homogeneous and heterogeneous cores integrated together over a Network-on-Chip (NoC). The architecture efficiently utilizes the NoC bandwidth by keeping a balance between the instantiated number of computational and communication nodes. Furthermore, the architecture also provides a mixed flavor of homogeneous general-purpose processing and heterogeneous reconfigurable computing. Prior approaches have mostly considered homogeneous and heterogeneous platforms as two different design paradigms despite both show domain-specific performance advantages over each other. In this context, the proposed architecture is designed for nine NoC nodes, arranged in a topology of three rows and three columns. The middle row contains three homogeneous Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) cores and rest of the nodes are integrated with Coarse-Grain Reconfigurable Arrays (CGRAs) of application-specific sizes. The overall architecture is template-based which can be crafted to application's performance requirements. The NoC allows loose coupling, so all the cores can mutually exchange the data as well as enable independent and simultaneous execution. Contrarily, the user can program the middle layer of RISC cores for specific data/control dependencies among all the cores. The system mitigates power dissipation as the CGRAs are custom tailored for heterogeneous computing. The platform is evaluated for a proof-of-concept test comprising of massively-parallel signal processing algorithms. Synthesis results from a Field Programmable Gate Array device are used to establish comparisons and evaluation against some of the existing state-of-the-art multicore platforms in terms of multiple performance metrics.","PeriodicalId":428994,"journal":{"name":"2015 Nordic Circuits and Systems Conference (NORCAS): NORCHIP & International Symposium on System-on-Chip (SoC)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122644500","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}
