The RFID transponder is composed of analog-RF front-end and digital signal processing unit. The analog-RF front-end is mainly made up of voltage multiplier, limiter, power-on-reset (POR), clock generator, demodulator and modulator. This work proposes a novel clock generating scheme with features of area effective and high precision which uses ring oscillator and counter, accompanying preamble sent by reader before data communication. Clock generator drives transponder with clock variation less than ± 1.76% which is below ±15% requested by standard. Besides, a new demodulator is presented in this paper. Silicon area of demodulator is only 21% of traditional structure and it could demodulate input signal with data rate ranging from 10Kbps to 870Kbps. Full chip area without test pads is 0.7mm2@0.18um CMOS process and consumes 15uW without Memory.","PeriodicalId":446584,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE 8th International Conference on ASIC","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121758914","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 OpAmp based ADC design is no longer useful in nano-meter CMOS era and a comparator based ADC design becomes dominant for ADC design along with technology scaling. Offset mismatch and input referred noise in a comparator affects ENOB seriously. Furthermore conversion speed, energy consumption and occupied area have a serious tradeoff in ENOB. A digital offset mismatch compensation technique accommodates this trade off, however accuracy is not sufficient and more effective technique should be developed. An equation to estimate the input referred noise in dynamic comparator has been deduced and it suggests that the noise can be reduce by increase of load capacitance and reduction of the effective gate voltage. However higher resolution than 10 bit looks not easy. Technology development is required to realize higher resolution ADC1.","PeriodicalId":446584,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE 8th International Conference on ASIC","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132423089","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}

Many previous works focused on reducing the processing time. However, most require too large memory space in total, resulting in being not suitable for hardware implementation. In this paper, we propose a hardware-implementable algorithm and its systolic architecture. The algorithm achieves linear space complexity, and the systolic architecture is feasible for hardware implementation. For two given strings with their lengths of m and n, the algorithm consumes less time complexity when the LLCS is approaching to the minimum of m and n. Furthermore, a scalable architecture is proposed to deal with the LCS problems of two huge strings, whose lengths are far more than m and n. Therefore, our scalable systolic architecture with linear space complexity for the LCS problem is suitable for hardware implementation, and the synthesized results show that our architecture is more efficient.","PeriodicalId":446584,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE 8th International Conference on ASIC","volume":" 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132159636","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}
