A Low-Cost Low-Power All-
Digital Spread-Spectrum Clock
Generator
In this brief, a low-cost low-power all-digital spread
spectrum clock generator (ADSSCG) is presented. The
proposed ADSSCG can provide an accurate programmable
spreading ratio with process, voltage, and temperature
variations. To maintain the frequency stability while
performing triangular modulation, the fast-relocked
mechanism is proposed. The proposed fast-relocked
ADSSCG is implemented in a standard performance 90-nm
CMOS process, and the active area is 200 µm × 200 µm. The
experimental results show that the electromagnetic
interference reduction is 14.61 dB with a 0.5% spreading
ratio and 19.69 dB with a 2% spreading ratio at 270 MHz.
The power consumption is 443 µW at 270 MHz with a 1.0 V
power supply.

A Combined SDC-SDF
Architecture for Normal I/O
Pipelined Radix-2 FFT
We present an efficient combined single-path delay
commutator-feedback (SDC-SDF) radix-2 pipelined fast
Fourier transform architecture, which includes log2 N − 1
SDC stages, and 1 SDF stage. The SDC processing engine is
proposed to achieve 100% hardware resource utilization by
sharing the common arithmetic resource in the time-
multiplexed approach, including both adders and multipliers.
Thus, the required number of complex multipliers is reduced
to log4 N − 0.5, compared with log2 N − 1 for the other
radix-2 SDC/SDF architectures. In addition, the proposed
architecture requires roughly minimum number of complex
adders log2 N + 1 and complex delay memory 2N + 1.5 log2
N − 1.5.

A Class of SEC-DED-DAEC Codes
Derived From Orthogonal Latin
Square Codes
Radiation-induced soft errors are a major reliability concern
for memories. To ensure that memory contents are not
corrupted, single error correction double error detection
(SEC-DED) codes are commonly used, however, in advanced
technology nodes, soft errors frequently affect more than one
memory bit. Since SEC-DED codes cannot correct multiple
errors, they are often combined with interleaving.
Interleaving, however, impacts memory design and
performance and cannot always be used in small memories.
This limitation has spurred interest in codes that can correct
adjacent bit errors. In particular, several SEC-DED double
adjacent error correction (SEC-DED-DAEC) codes have
recently been proposed. Implementing DAEC has a cost as it
impacts the decoder complexity and delay. Another issue is
that most of the new SEC-DED-DAEC codes miscorrect
some double nonadjacent bit errors. In this brief, a new class
of SEC-DED-DAEC codes is derived from orthogonal latin
squares codes. The new codes significantly reduce the
decoding complexity and delay. In addition, the codes do not

miscorrect any double nonadjacent bit errors. The main
disadvantage of the new codes is that they require a larger
number of parity check bits. Therefore, they can be useful
when decoding delay or complexity is critical or when
miscorrection of double nonadjacent bit errors is not
acceptable. The proposed codes have been implemented in
Hardware Description Language and compared with some of
the existing SEC-DED-DAEC codes.

Design of Efficient Content
Addressable Memories in
High-Performance FinFET
Technology
Content addressable memories (CAMs) enable highspeed
parallel search operations in table lookup-based applications,
such as Internet routers and processor caches. Traditional
CAM design has always suffered from the high dynamic
power consumption associated with its large and active
parallel hardware. However, deeply scaled technology nodes,
with multigate devices replacing planar MOSFETs, are
expected to bring new tradeoffs to CAM design. FinFET, a
vertical-channel gate-wraparound double-gate device, has
emerged as the best alternative to planar MOSFET. In this
brief, for the first time, we explore the design space of
symmetric and asymmetric gate-workfunction FinFET
CAMs. We propose several design alternatives and evaluate
them in terms of their dc and transient metrics for
different mismatch probabilities using technology
computeraided design simulations with 22-nm FinFET
devices. We also propose two orthogonal layout styles for
CAM design and show that one of them (vertical-search line)
outperforms the other (vertical-match line) in terms of total
power (22.3%) and search delay (5.8%).

A New Efficiency-Improvement
Low-Ripple
Charge-Pump Boost Converter
Using Adaptive
Slope Generator With Hysteresis
Voltage
Comparison Techniques
The new efficiency-improvement low-ripple charge pump
boost converter using adaptive slope generator with
hysteresis voltage comparison techniques is proposed in this
paper. This proposed converter can reduce output voltage
ripple, because its inductor is connected to the output. This
proposed converter adopts a new controlled architecture, self-
adaptive slope generator with hysteresis comparison
technology, to shorten the transient response. The proposed
boost converter has been fabricated with TSMC 0.35-µm
CMOS 2P4M processes, and a total chip area of 1.49 mm ×
1.49 mm. Its maximum output current is 260 mA when the
output voltage is 3.6 V. When the supply voltage is 3.3 V, the
output voltage can be 3.6–5.1 V. The maximum efficiency is
90.99% and the minimum output ripple is 10.8 mV. Finally,
the theoretical analysis is verified to be correct by the
experimental results.

employed in today’s digital CMOS process. The ADSM
achieved a characteristic center frequency of 630 Hz. It had
an effective signal-to-noise-plus-distortion ratio (SNDR) of
58 dB or effective number of bits (ENOB) 9 b and just 28-

the effect of non-idealities of the individual circuit
components is also presented for the first time with a close
agreement with experimental results.

Clock Skew Compensation and
Duty-Cycle
Correction Circuit
A clock skew-compensation and duty-cycle correction circuit
(CSADC) is used as the second-level clock distributing
circuit to align a system global clock while maintaining a
50% duty cycle. A power-efficient, range-unlimited, and
accuracy enhanced CSADC, designed mainly with a new
delay-interleaving and -recycling technique that mitigates
operating frequency limitations while keeping overhead costs
low, is proposed in this paper. Our preliminary research
results prove the feasibility of the proposed technique and
show that the operating frequency ranges from 110 MHz to
1.75 GHz, with the corrected duty cycle varying from 51.2%
to 48.9% based on 0.18-µm CMOS technology. Meanwhile,
the lock-in time, static phase error, and power consumption
are, respectively, 26 clock cycles, 4.2 ps, and 5.58 mW at
1.75 GHz.

Obfuscating DSP Circuits via High-
Level
Transformations
This paper presents a novel approach to design
obfuscated circuits for digital signal processing (DSP)
applications using high-level transformations, a key-based
obfuscating finite-state machine (FSM), and a
reconfiguration. The goal is to design DSP circuits that are
harder to reverse engineer. High level transformations of
iterative data-flow graphs have been exploited for area-
speed-power tradeoffs. This is the first attempt to develop a
design flow to apply high-level transformations that not only
meet these tradeoffs but also simultaneously obfuscate the
architectures both structurally and functionally. Several
modes of operations are introduced for obfuscation where the
outputs are meaningful from a signal processing point of
view, but are functionally incorrect. Examples of such modes
include a third-order digital filter that can also implement a
sixth-order or ninth-order filter in a time-multiplexed manner.
The latter two modes are meaningful but represent
functionally incorrect modes. Multiple meaningful modes can
be exploited to reconfigure the filter order for different
applications. Other modes may correspond to non meaningful
modes. A correct key input to an FSM activates a
reconfigurator. The configure data controls various modes of
the circuit operation. Functional obfuscation is accomplished
by requiring use of the correct initialization key, and
configure data. Wrong initialization key fails to enable the
reconfigurator, and a wrong configure data activates either a

meaningful but nonfunctional or nonmeaningful mode.
Probability of activating the correct mode is significantly
reduced leading to an obfuscated DSP circuit. Structural
obfuscation is also achieved by the proposed methodology
via high-level transformations. Experimental results show
that the overhead of the proposed methodology is small,
while a strong obfuscation is attained. For example, the area
overhead for a (3l)th-order IIR filter benchmark is only
17.7% with a 128-bit configuration key, where 1 ≤ l ≤ 8, i.e.,
the order of this filter should be a multiple of 3, and can vary
from 3 to 24.

Accelerating Scalar Conversion for
Koblitz Curve
Cryptoprocessors on Hardware
Platforms
Koblitz curves are a class of computationally efficient elliptic
curves where scalar multiplications can be accelerated using τ
NAF representations of scalars. However, conversion from
an integer scalar to a short τ NAF is a costly operation. In this
paper, we improve the recently proposed scalar conversion
scheme based on division by τ 2. We apply two levels of
optimizations in the scalar conversion architecture. First, we
reduce the number of long integer subtractions during the
scalar conversion. This optimization reduces the computation
cost and also simplifies the critical paths present in the
conversion architecture. Then we implement pipelines in the
architecture. The pipeline splitting increases the operating
frequency without increasing the number of cycles. We have
provided detailed experimental results to support our claims
made in this paper.

Design of Self-Timed
Reconfigurable Controllers
for Parallel Synchronization via
Wagging
Synchronization is an important issue in modern system
design as systems-on-chips integrate more diverse
technologies, operating voltages, and clock frequencies on a
single substrate. This paper presents a methodology for the
design and implementation of a self-timed reconfigurable
control device suitable for a parallel cascaded flip-flop
synchronizer based on a principle known as wagging,
through the application of distributed feedback graphs. By
modifying the endpoint adjacency of a common behavior
graph via one-hot codes, several configurable modes can be
implemented in a single design specification, thereby
facilitating direct control over the synchronization time and
the mean-time between failures of the parallel master-slave
latches in the synchronizer. Therefore, the resulting
implementation is resistant to process non-idealities, which
are present in physical design layouts. This paper includes a
discussion of the reconfiguration protocol, and
implementations of both a sequential token ring control
device, and an interrupt subsystem necessary for
reconfiguration, all simulated in UMC 90-nm technology.
The interrupt subsystem demonstrates operating frequencies
between 505 and 818 MHz per module, with
average power consumptions between 70.7 and 90.0 µW in
the typical-typical case under a corner analysis.

Flop for Reducing
Standby Power in ZigBee SoCs
flop (RFF) for ZigBee systems-on-chips (SoCs). The
proposed RFF allows the voltage regulator that generates the
core supply voltage (VDD,core) to be turned off in the
standby mode, and it thus reduces the standby power of the
ZigBee SoCs. The logic states are retained in a slave latch
composed of thick-oxide transistors using an I/O supply
voltage (VDD,IO) that is always turned on. Level-up
conversion from VDD,core to VDD,IO is achieved by an
embedded nMOS pass-transistor level-conversion scheme
that uses a low-only signal-transmitting technique. By
embedding a retention latch and level-up converter into the
data-to-output path of the proposed RFF, the RFF resolves
the problems of the static RAM-based RFF, such as large dc
current and low readability caused by threshold drop. The
proposed RFF does not also require additional control signals
for power mode transitioning. Using 0.13-µm process
technology, we implemented an RFF with VDD,core and
VDD,IO of 1.2 and 2.5 V, respectively. The maximum
operating frequency is 300 MHz. The active energy of the
RFF is 191.70 fJ, and its standby power is
350.25 pW.

All Digital Energy Sensing for
Minimum Energy Tracking
Minimizing energy consumption is of utmost importance in
an energy starved system with relaxed performance
requirements. This brief presents a digital energy sensing
method that requires neither a constant voltage reference nor
a time reference. An energy minimizing loop uses this to find
the minimum energy point and sets the supply voltage
between 0.2 and 0.5 V. Energy savings up to 1 275% over
existing minimum energy tracking techniques in the literature
is achieved.

Recursive Approach to the Design
of a
Parallel Self-Timed Adder
This brief presents a parallel single-rail self-timed adder.
It is based on a recursive formulation for performing multibit
binary addition. The operation is parallel for those bits that
do not need any carry chain propagation. Thus, the design
attains logarithmic performance over random operand
conditions without any special speedup circuitry or look-
ahead schema. A practical implementation is provided along
with a completion detection unit. The implementation is
regular and does not have any practical limitations of high
fanouts. A high fan-in gate is required though but this is
unavoidable for asynchronous logic and is managed by
connecting the transistors in parallel. Simulations have been
performed using an industry standard toolkit that verify the
practicality and superiority of the proposed approach over
existing asynchronous adders.

extension of the fast convolution technique to multiple-input
multiple-output systems. The proposed architecture is the
first one devoted to the hardware implementation of PMM.
Hardware implementation of the algorithm is achieved via
highly pipelined, partly systolic field-programmable gate
array (FPGA) architecture. The architecture, which is
scalable in terms of the order of the input polynomial
matrices, has been designed using the Xilinx system
generator tool. We verify the algorithmic accuracy of the
architecture through FPGA-in-the-loop hardware co-
simulations. The application to sensor array signal processing
is highlighted, in terms of strong de-correlation. The results
are presented to demonstrate the accuracy and capability of
the architecture. The results verify that the proposed solution
gives low execution times while limiting the number of
required FPGA resources.

Implementation of Subthreshold
Adiabatic
Logic for Ultralow-Power
Application
Behavior of adiabatic logic circuits in weak inversion or
subthreshold regime is analyzed in depth for the first time in
the literature to make great improvement in ultralowpower
circuit design. This novel approach is efficacious in low-
speed operations where power consumption and longevity are
the pivotal concerns instead of performance. The schematic
and layout of a 4-bit carry look ahead adder (CLA) has been
implemented to show the workability of the proposed logic.
The effect of temperature and process parameter variations
on subthreshold adiabatic logic-based 4-bit CLA has also
been addressed separately. Postlayout simulations show that
subthreshold adiabatic units can save significant energy
compared with a logically equivalent static CMOS
implementation.

FPGA-Based Bit Error Rate
Performance
Measurement of Wireless Systems
This paper presents the bit error rate (BER) performance
validation of digital baseband communication systems on a
field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The proposed BER
tester (BERT) integrates fundamental baseband signal
processing modules of a typical wireless communication
system along with a realistic fading channel simulator and an
accurate Gaussian noise generator onto a single FPGA to
provide an accelerated and repeatable test environment in a
laboratory setting. Using a developed graphical user
interface, the error rate performance of single- and multiple-
antenna systems over a wide range of parameters can be
rapidly evaluated. The FPGA-based BERT should reduce the
need for time-consuming software based simulations, hence
increasing the productivity. This FPGA-based solution is
significantly more cost effective than conventional
performance measurements made using expensive
commercially available test equipment and channel
simulators.

complexity requires a new design methodology able to face
challenges associated with ever higher spatio-temporal
resolutions. The paper presents the computationally-scalable
algorithm and its hardware architecture able to support the
intra encoding up to the 2160p@30fps resolution. The
scalability allows thetradeoff between the throughput and the
compression efficiency. In particular, the encoder is able to
check a variable number of candidate modes. The rate
estimation based on bin counting and the distortion
estimation in the transform domain simplify the rate-
distortion analysis and enable the evaluation of a great
number of candidate intra modes. The encoder preselects
candidate modes by the processing of 8×8 predictions
computed from original samples. The preselection shares
hardware resources used for the processing of predictions
generated from reconstructed samples. To support intra 4×4
modes for the 2160p@30fps resolution, the encoder
incorporates a separate reconstruction loop. The processing
of blocks with different sizes is interleaved to compensate the
delay of reconstruction loops. Implementation results show
that the encoder utilizes 1086k gates and 52 kB on-chip
memories for TSMC 90nm. The main reconstruction loop
can operate at 400 MHz, whereas the remaining modules
work at 200 MHz. For 2160p@30fps videos, the average BD-
Rate is 5.46% compared to the HM software.

In this paper, we introduce architecture of pre-encoded

Redundant radix-4 Signed-Digit (NR4SD) encoding
technique, which uses the digit values {−1, 0, +1, +2} or {−2,
−1, 0, +1}, is proposed leading to a multiplier design with
less complex partial products implementation. Extensive
experimental analysis verifies that the proposed pre-encoded
NR4SD multipliers, including the coefficients memory, are
more area and power efficient than the conventional

scheme is also presented for the block implementation of
fixed FIR filters. The proposed structure involves
significantly less area delay product (ADP) and less energy
per sample (EPS) than the existing block implementation of
direct-form structure for medium or large filter lengths, while
for the short-length filters, the block implementation of
direct-form FIR structure has less ADP and less EPS than the
proposed structure. Application specific integrated circuit
synthesis result shows that the proposed structure for block
size 4 and filter length 64 involves 42% less ADP and 40%
less EPS than the best available FIR filter structure proposed
for reconfigurable applications. For the same filter length and
the same block size, theproposed structure involves 13% less
ADP and 12.8% less EPS than that of the existing direct-form

A Novel Photosensitive Tunneling
Transistor
for Near-Infrared Sensing
Applications:
Design, Modeling, and Simulation
In this paper, a novel device structure, operating
on the principle of band-to-band tunneling, has been designed
for near-infrared (1–1.5 µm) multispectral optical sensing
applications. A drain current model based on line tunneling
approach has been developed to illustrate the device
operation. The results of the model are compared with the
simulated data for devices with similar dimension and
structure, indicating good accuracy of the developed model.
Spectral response of the device is studied by estimating the
relative values of its transfer—as well as output—
characteristics, and also by measuring the variation of
threshold voltage, VT and ON-state current, ION. VT and
ION are found to be sensitive to wavelength variations at
moderate gate doping levels. VT is found to increase by ∼40
mV and ION decreases by 35% for a change of illumination
wavelength from 1 to 1.5 µm at a gate doping of 1 × 1018

0.75 W/cm2 is found to be 318.38, 2.02 × 103, and 672.2
corresponding to the change in wavelength from (1–1.2 µm),

A New Parallel VLSI Architecture
for Real-time Electrical
Capacitance Tomography
This paper presents a fixed-point reconfigurable parallel
VLSI hardware architecture for real-time Electrical
Capacitance Tomography (ECT). It is modular and consists
of a front-end module which performs precise capacitance
measurements in a time multiplexed manner using
Capacitance to Digital Converter (CDC) technique. Another
FPGA module performs the inverse steps of the tomography
algorithm. A dual port built-in memory banks store the
sensitivity matrix, the actual value of the capacitances, and
the actual image. A two dimensional (2D) core
multiprocessing elements (PE) engine intercommunicates
with these memory banks via parallel buses. A Hardware-
software co-design methodology was conducted using
commercially available tools in order to concurrently tune the
algorithms and hardware parameters. Hence, the hardware
was designed down to the bit-level in order to reduce both the
hardware cost and power consumption, while satisfying real-
time constraint. Quantization errors were assessed against the
image quality and bit-level simulations demonstrate the
correctness of the design. Further simulations indicate that
the proposed architecture achieves a speed-up of up to three
orders of magnitude over the software version when the
reconstruction algorithm runs on 2.53 GHZ-based Pentium
processor or DSP Ti’s Delphino TMS320F32837 processor.
More specifically, a throughput of 17.241 Kframes/sec for
both the Linear-Back Projection (LBP) and modified
Landweber algorithms and 8.475 Kframes/sec for the
Landweber algorithm with 200 iterations could be achieved.
This performance was achieved using an array of [2×2] ×
[2×2] processing units. This satisfies the real-time constraint
of many industrial applications. To the best of the authors’
knowledge, this is the first embedded system which explores
the intrinsic parallelism which is available in modern FPGA
for ECT tomography.

ratios enables capturing the scene features and patterns
almost independently from the local scene illumination
resulting in potentially extremely high dynamic range.
Moreover, detecting signal ratios using a fully differential
circuit optimally suits the intrinsic nature of VLSI design. A
scalable and compact hardware implementation is proposed
as a proof-of-concept towards relative image acquisition. The
proposed photo-current ratio-detecting pixels completely
bypass the need of conventional photo-current integration
which enables high frame-rate operation of up to 24000
frames-per-second (fps). The pulse-width modulated output
of the proposed pixel is captured by compact column-parallel
readout circuits based on digital counters. The developed
32×32 pixel array prototype CMOS image sensor consumes
4mW of power operating at a nominal 9765 fps frame rate,
and 6.8mW of power operating at a maximum 24000fps. The
presented prototype design is fully scalable towards newer
CMOS fabrication nodes and higher sensor resolution.

Low-Cost High-Performance VLSI
Architecture for
Montgomery Modular
Multiplication
This paper proposes a simple and efficient Montgomery
multiplication algorithm such that the low-cost and high-
performance Montgomery modular multiplier can be
implemented accordingly. The proposed multiplier receives
and outputs thedata with binary representation and uses only
one-level carry-save adder (CSA) to avoid the carry
propagation at each addition operation. This CSA is also used
to perform operand pre-computation and format conversion
from the carry save format to the binary representation,
leading to a low hardware cost and short critical path delay at
the expense of extra clock cycles for completing one modular
multiplication. To overcome the weakness, a configurable
CSA (CCSA), which could be one full-adder or two serial
half-adders, is proposed to reduce the extra clock cycles for
operand pre-computation and format conversion by half. In
addition, a mechanism that can detect and skip the
unnecessary carry-save addition operations in the one-level
CCSA architecture while maintaining the short critical path
delay is developed. As a result, the extra clock cycles for
operand pre-computation and format conversion can be
hidden and high throughput can be obtained. Experimental
results show that the proposed Montgomery modular
multiplier can achieve higher performance and significant
area–time product improvement when compared with
previous designs.

work contains only 4.97 K gate counts and the core area is

The operating frequency of this work is 200 MHz by

A Novel Area-Efficient VLSI
Architecture for
Recursion Computation in LTE
Turbo Decoders
Long term evolution (LTE) is aimed to achieve the
peak data rates in excess of 300 Mb/s for the next generation
wireless communication systems. Turbo codes, the specified
channel coding scheme in LTE, suffer from a low-decoding
throughput due to its iterative decoding algorithm. One
efficient approach to achieve a promising throughput is to use
multiple Maximum a-Posteriori (MAP) cores in parallel,
resulting in a large area overhead. The two computationally
challenging units in an MAP core are α and β recursion units.
Although several methods have been proposed to shorten the
critical path of these recursion units, their area-efficient
architecture with minimum silicon area is still missing. In this
paper, a novel relation existing between α and
β metrics is introduced, leading to a novel add-compare-
select (ACS) architecture. The proposed technique can be
applied to both the precise approximation of log-MAP and
max-log MAP ACS architectures. The proposed ACS design,
implemented in a 0.13 µm CMOS technology and
customized for the LTE standard, results in at most 18.1%
less area compared to the reported designs to-date while
maintaining the same throughput level.

Comparative Performance Analysis
of
the Dielectrically Modulated
FullGate and Short-Gate Tunnel
FET-Based Biosensors
In this paper, a short-gate tunneling-field-effecttransistor
(SG-TFET) structure has been investigated for the
dielectrically modulated biosensing applications in
comparison with a full-gate tunneling-field-effect-transistor
structure of similar dimensions. This paper explores the
underlying physics of these architectures and estimates their
comparative sensing performance. The sensing performance
has been evaluated for both the charged and charge-neutral
biomolecules using extensive device-level simulation, and
the effects of the biomolecule dielectric constant and charge
density are also studied. In SG-TFET architecture, the
reduction of the gate length enhances its drain control over
the band-to-band tunneling process and this has been
exploited for the detection, resulting to superior drain current
sensitivity for biomolecule conjugation. The gate and drain
biasing conditions show dominant impact on the sensitivity
enhancement in the short-gate biosensors. Therefore, the gate
and drain bias are identified as the effective design
parameters for the efficiency optimization.

elimination (VHBCSE) algorithm for designing a
reconfigurable finite impulse response (FIR) filter whose
coefficients can dynamically change in real time. To design
an efficient reconfigurable FIR filter, according to the
proposed VHBCSE algorithm, 2-bit binary common sub-
expression elimination (BCSE) algorithm has been applied
vertically across adjacent coefficients on the 2-D space of the
coefficient matrix initially, followed by applying variable-bit
BCSE algorithm horizontally within each coefficient. This
technique is capable of reducing the average probability of
use or the switching activity of the multiplier block adders by
6.2% and 19.6% as compared to that of two existing 2-bit and
3-bit BCSE algorithms respectively. ASIC implementation
results of FIR filters using this multiplier show that the
proposed VHBCSE algorithm is also successful in reducing
the average power consumption by 32% and 52% along with
an improvement in the area power product (APP) by 25%
and 66% compared to those of the 2-bit and 3-bit BCSE
algorithms respectively. As regards the implementation of
FIR filter, improvements of 13% and 28% in area delay
product (ADP) and 76.1% and 77.8% in power delay product
(PDP) for the proposed VHBCSE algorithm have been
achieved over those of the earlier multiple constant
multiplication (MCM) algorithms, viz. faithfully rounded
truncated multiple constant multiplication/accumulation
(MCMAT) and multi-root binary partition graph (MBPG)
respectively. Efficiency shown by the results of comparing
the FPGA and ASIC implementations of the reconfigurable
FIR filter designed using VHBCSE algorithm based constant
multiplier establishes the suitability of the proposed
algorithm for efficient fixed point reconfigurable FIR filter
synthesis.

VLSI-Assisted Nonrigid
Registration Using
Modified Demons Algorithm
Increasing demand of high-speed portable modules for
multimedia applications has motivated the development of
hardware-based solutions for image processing applications.
Most of the nonrigid image registration algorithms are found
to be unsuitable for hardware implementation because of
their nonlinearity and computationally intensive nature. In
this paper, an algorithm for nonrigid image registration based
on Demons approximation is proposed. The algorithm has
been simulated in MATLAB and results show a 15%
improvement in peaksignal-to-noise-ratio with a 17%
reduction in registration time for 256 × 256 image over the
original Demons algorithm. The proposed algorithm is
synthesized in Virtex6-xc6vlx760-2-ff1760 and maximum
synthesized frequency is found to be 174 MHz. The proposed
architecture provides the low cost, high-speed solution for the
registration process, which is also helpful for making a
portable system.

architectures, as allowed by the novel IEEE Std 1149.1-2013
(JTAG) and IEEE Std 1687- 2014 (IJTAG), emerge as a
scalable mechanism for access to such on-chip instruments.
While the on-chip instrumentation is crucial for meeting
quality, dependability, and time-to-market goals, it is prone
to abuse and threatens system safety and security. A secure
access management method is mandatory to assure that
critical instruments be accessible to authorized entities only.
This work presents a novel protection method for fine-
grained access management in complex reconfigurable scan
networks based on a challenge-response authentication
protocol. The target scan network is extended with an
authorization instrument and Secure Segment Insertion Bits
(S2IB) that together control the accessibility of individual
instruments. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the
first fine-grained access management scheme that scales well
with the number of protected instruments and offers a high
level of security. Compared with recent state of-the-art
techniques, this scheme is more favorable with respect to
implementation cost, performance overhead, and provided
security level.

A High-Throughput VLSI
Architecture for Hard and
Soft SC-FDMA MIMO Detectors
This paper introduces a novel low-complexity multiple-input
multiple-output (MIMO) detector tailored for single-carrier
frequency division-multiple access (SC-FDMA) systems,
suitable for efficient hardware implementations. The
proposed detector starts with an initial estimate of the
transmitted signal based on a minimum mean square error
(MMSE) detector. Subsequently, it recognizes less reliable
symbols for which more candidates in the constellation are
browsed to improve the initial estimate. Efficient high-
throughput VLSI architecture is also introduced achieving a
superior performance compared to the conventional MMSE
detectors with less than 28% added complexity. The
performance of the proposed design is close to the existing
maximum likelihood post-detection processing (ML-PDP)
scheme, while resulting in a significantly lower complexity,
i.e., and times fewer Euclidean distance (ED) calculations in
the 16-QAM and 64-QAM schemes, respectively. The
proposed design for the 16-QAM scheme is fabricated in a
0.13 CMOS technology and fully tested, achieving a 1.332
Gbps throughput, reporting the first fabricated design for SC-
FDMA MIMO detectors to-date. A soft version of the
proposed architecture is also introduced, which is customized
for coded systems.

process in the viewpoint of very-large-scale integration
implementation and propose a new efficient encoder
architecture that is adequate for long polar codes and
effective in alleviating the hardware complexity. As the
proposed encoder allows high-throughput encoding with
small hardware complexity, it can be systematically applied
to the design of any polar code and to any level of

Novel Block-Formulation and
Area-Delay-Efficient
Reconfigurable Interpolation Filter
Architecture for
Multi-Standard SDR Applications
A poly-phase based interpolation filter computation involves
an input-matrix and coefficient-matrix of size each, where is
the up-sampling factor and , is the filter length. The input-
matrix and the coefficient-matrix resizes when changes. An
analysis of interpolation filter computation for different up-
sampling factors is made in this paper to identify redundant
computations and removed those by reusing partial
results. Reuse of partial results eliminates the necessity of
matrix resizing in interpolation filter computation. A novel
block-formulation is presented to share the partial results for
parallel computation of filter outputs of different up-sampling
factors. Using the proposed block formulation, a parallel
multiplier-based reconfigurable architecture is derived for
interpolation filter. The most remarkable aspect of the
proposed architecture is that, it does not require
reconfiguration to compute filter outputs of an interpolation
filter for different up-sampling factor. Theproposed structure
has regular data-flow and it has no overhead complexity for
its reconfigurable feature unlike the existing structures.
Besides, the proposed structure has significantly less register
complexity than the existing structure and its register
complexity is independent of the block-size. Moreover, the
proposed structure can support higher input-sampling
frequency than the existing structure. ASIC synthesis result
shows that the proposed structure for block-size 4,
filter length 32, and up-sampling factor 8, involves 13.6 times
more area and offers 245 times higher maximum input-
sampling frequency compared with the existing multiplier-
less structure. It involves 18.6 times less area-delay-product
(ADP) and 9.5 times less energy per output (EPO) than the
existing multiplier-less structure.

A Low-Cost Hardware Architecture

Adjustment in Real-Time
Applications
For real-time surveillance and safety applications in
intelligent transportation systems, high-speed processing for
image enhancement is necessary and must be considered. In
this paper, we propose a fast and efficient illumination
adjustment algorithm that is suitable for low-cost very large
scale integration implementation. Experimental results show
that the proposed method requires the least number of
operations and achieves comparable visual quality as
compared with previous techniques. To further meet the
requirement of real-time image/video applications, the 16-
stage pipelined hardware architecture of our method is
implemented as an intellectual property core. Our design
yields a processing rate of about 200 MHz by using TSMC
0.13-μm technology. Since it can process one pixel per clock
cycle, for an image with a resolution of QSXGA (2560 ×
2048), it requires about 27 ms to process one frame that is
suitable for real-time applications. In some low-cost
intelligent imaging systems, the processing rate can be
slowed down, and our hardware core can run at very low
power consumption.

addition, a 2.5-GHz four-phase clock generator is embedded

where the BMCDR circuit core occupies 0.81 × 0.325 mm2.

occurs when a pMOS transistor is under negative bias (Vgs =
−Vdd), increasing the threshold voltage of the pMOS
transistor, and reducing multiplier speed. A similar
phenomenon, positive bias temperature instability, occurs
when an nMOS transistor is under positive bias. Both effects
degrade transistor speed, and in the long term, the system
may fail due to timing violations. Therefore, it is important to
design reliable high-performance multipliers.
In this paper, we propose an aging-aware multiplier design
with a novel adaptive hold logic (AHL) circuit. The
multiplier is able to provide higher throughput through the
variable latency and can adjust the AHL circuit to mitigate
performance degradation that is due to the aging effect.
Moreover, the proposed architecture can be applied to a
column- or row-bypassing multiplier. The experimental
results show that our proposed architecture with 16 × 16 and
32 × 32 column-bypassing multipliers can attain up to
62.88% and 76.28% performance improvement, respectively,
compared with 16×16 and 32×32 fixed-latency column-
bypassing multipliers. Furthermore, our proposed
architecture with 16 × 16 and 32 × 32 row-bypassing
multipliers can achieve up to 80.17% and 69.40%
performance improvement as compared with 16×16 and 32 ×

In this brief, the implementation of residue number system
reverse converters based on well-known regular and modular

results show a significant delay reduction and area × time2
improvements, all this at the cost of higher power

parallel-prefix adders to achieve high-speed reverse
converters in nowadays systems. Hence, to solve the high
power consumption problem, novel specific hybrid parallel-
prefix-based adder components that provide better tradeoff
between delay and power consumption are herein presented
to design reverse converters. A methodology is also

kinds of prefix adders. This methodology helps the designer
to adjust the performance of the reverse converter based on

VLSI2016_01 A Low-Cost Low-Power All- Digital Spread-Spectrum Clock Generator In this brief, a low-cost low-power all-digital spread spectrum clock generator (ADSSCG) is presented. The proposed ADSSCG can provide an accurate programmable spreading ratio with process, voltage, and temperature variations. To maintain the frequency stability while performing triangular modulation, the fast-relocked mechanism is proposed. The proposed fast-relocked ADSSCG is implemented in a standard performance 90-nm CMOS process, and the active area is 200 µm × 200 µm. The experimental results show that the electromagnetic interference reduction is 14.61 dB with a 0.5% spreading ratio and 19.69 dB with a 2% spreading ratio at 270 MHz. The power consumption is 443 µW at 270 MHz with a 1.0 V power supply. 2015- 2016 2. VLSI2016_02 A Combined SDC-SDF Architecture for Normal I/O Pipelined Radix-2 FFT We present an efficient combined single-path delay commutator-feedback (SDC-SDF) radix-2 pipelined fast Fourier transform architecture, which includes log2 N − 1 SDC stages, and 1 SDF stage. The SDC processing engine is proposed to achieve 100% hardware resource utilization by sharing the common arithmetic resource in the time- multiplexed approach, including both adders and multipliers. Thus, the required number of complex multipliers is reduced to log4 N − 0.5, compared with log2 N − 1 for the other radix-2 SDC/SDF architectures. In addition, the proposed architecture requires roughly minimum number of complex adders log2 N + 1 and complex delay memory 2N + 1.5 log2 N − 1.5. 2015- 2016 3. VLSI2016_03 A Class of SEC-DED-DAEC Codes Derived From Orthogonal Latin Square Codes Radiation-induced soft errors are a major reliability concern for memories. To ensure that memory contents are not corrupted, single error correction double error detection (SEC-DED) codes are commonly used, however, in advanced technology nodes, soft errors frequently affect more than one memory bit. Since SEC-DED codes cannot correct multiple errors, they are often combined with interleaving. Interleaving, however, impacts memory design and performance and cannot always be used in small memories. This limitation has spurred interest in codes that can correct adjacent bit errors. In particular, several SEC-DED double adjacent error correction (SEC-DED-DAEC) codes have recently been proposed. Implementing DAEC has a cost as it impacts the decoder complexity and delay. Another issue is that most of the new SEC-DED-DAEC codes miscorrect some double nonadjacent bit errors. In this brief, a new class of SEC-DED-DAEC codes is derived from orthogonal latin squares codes. The new codes significantly reduce the decoding complexity and delay. In addition, the codes do not 2015- 2016

Email Id: praveen@nexgenproject.com Mobile: 9751442511, 9791938249, Telephone: 0413-2211159 miscorrect any double nonadjacent bit errors. The main disadvantage of the new codes is that they require a larger number of parity check bits. Therefore, they can be useful when decoding delay or complexity is critical or when miscorrection of double nonadjacent bit errors is not acceptable. The proposed codes have been implemented in Hardware Description Language and compared with some of the existing SEC-DED-DAEC codes. 4. VLSI2016_04 Design of Efficient Content Addressable Memories in High-Performance FinFET Technology Content addressable memories (CAMs) enable highspeed parallel search operations in table lookup-based applications, such as Internet routers and processor caches. Traditional CAM design has always suffered from the high dynamic power consumption associated with its large and active parallel hardware. However, deeply scaled technology nodes, with multigate devices replacing planar MOSFETs, are expected to bring new tradeoffs to CAM design. FinFET, a vertical-channel gate-wraparound double-gate device, has emerged as the best alternative to planar MOSFET. In this brief, for the first time, we explore the design space of symmetric and asymmetric gate-workfunction FinFET CAMs. We propose several design alternatives and evaluate them in terms of their dc and transient metrics for different mismatch probabilities using technology computeraided design simulations with 22-nm FinFET devices. We also propose two orthogonal layout styles for CAM design and show that one of them (vertical-search line) outperforms the other (vertical-match line) in terms of total power (22.3%) and search delay (5.8%). 2015- 2016 5. VLSI2016_05 A New Efficiency-Improvement Low-Ripple Charge-Pump Boost Converter Using Adaptive Slope Generator With Hysteresis Voltage Comparison Techniques The new efficiency-improvement low-ripple charge pump boost converter using adaptive slope generator with hysteresis voltage comparison techniques is proposed in this paper. This proposed converter can reduce output voltage ripple, because its inductor is connected to the output. This proposed converter adopts a new controlled architecture, self- adaptive slope generator with hysteresis comparison technology, to shorten the transient response. The proposed boost converter has been fabricated with TSMC 0.35-µm CMOS 2P4M processes, and a total chip area of 1.49 mm × 1.49 mm. Its maximum output current is 260 mA when the output voltage is 3.6 V. When the supply voltage is 3.3 V, the output voltage can be 3.6–5.1 V. The maximum efficiency is 90.99% and the minimum output ripple is 10.8 mV. Finally, the theoretical analysis is verified to be correct by the experimental results. 2015- 2016 6. VLSI2016_06 A 0.25-V 28-nW 58-dB Dynamic Range Asynchronous Delta Sigma Modulator in 130-nm Digital CMOS Process In this paper, we present a single-bit clock-less asynchronous delta–sigma modulator (ADSM) operating at just 0.25 V power supply. Several circuit approaches were employed to enable such low-voltage operation and maintain high performance. One approach involved utilizing bulk- driven transistors in sub threshold region with trans conductance-enhancement topology. Another approach was to employ distributed transistor layout structure to mitigate 2015- 2016

The ADSM achieved a characteristic center frequency of 630 Hz. It had an effective signal-to-noise-plus-distortion ratio (SNDR) of 58 dB or effective number of bits (ENOB) 9 b and just 28- nW power dissipation. A detailed analytical model capturing the effect of non-idealities of the individual circuit components is also presented for the first time with a close agreement with experimental results. 7. VLSI2016_07 Range Unlimited Delay- Interleaving and -Recycling Clock Skew Compensation and Duty-Cycle Correction Circuit A clock skew-compensation and duty-cycle correction circuit (CSADC) is used as the second-level clock distributing circuit to align a system global clock while maintaining a 50% duty cycle. A power-efficient, range-unlimited, and accuracy enhanced CSADC, designed mainly with a new delay-interleaving and -recycling technique that mitigates operating frequency limitations while keeping overhead costs low, is proposed in this paper. Our preliminary research results prove the feasibility of the proposed technique and show that the operating frequency ranges from 110 MHz to 1.75 GHz, with the corrected duty cycle varying from 51.2% to 48.9% based on 0.18-µm CMOS technology. Meanwhile, the lock-in time, static phase error, and power consumption are, respectively, 26 clock cycles, 4.2 ps, and 5.58 mW at 1.75 GHz. 2015- 2016 8. VLSI2016_08 Obfuscating DSP Circuits via High- Level Transformations This paper presents a novel approach to design obfuscated circuits for digital signal processing (DSP) applications using high-level transformations, a key-based obfuscating finite-state machine (FSM), and a reconfiguration. The goal is to design DSP circuits that are harder to reverse engineer. High level transformations of iterative data-flow graphs have been exploited for area- speed-power tradeoffs. This is the first attempt to develop a design flow to apply high-level transformations that not only meet these tradeoffs but also simultaneously obfuscate the architectures both structurally and functionally. Several modes of operations are introduced for obfuscation where the outputs are meaningful from a signal processing point of view, but are functionally incorrect. Examples of such modes include a third-order digital filter that can also implement a sixth-order or ninth-order filter in a time-multiplexed manner. The latter two modes are meaningful but represent functionally incorrect modes. Multiple meaningful modes can be exploited to reconfigure the filter order for different applications. Other modes may correspond to non meaningful modes. A correct key input to an FSM activates a reconfigurator. The configure data controls various modes of the circuit operation. Functional obfuscation is accomplished by requiring use of the correct initialization key, and configure data. Wrong initialization key fails to enable the reconfigurator, and a wrong configure data activates either a 2015- 2016

Email Id: praveen@nexgenproject.com Mobile: 9751442511, 9791938249, Telephone: 0413-2211159 meaningful but nonfunctional or nonmeaningful mode. Probability of activating the correct mode is significantly reduced leading to an obfuscated DSP circuit. Structural obfuscation is also achieved by the proposed methodology via high-level transformations. Experimental results show that the overhead of the proposed methodology is small, while a strong obfuscation is attained. For example, the area overhead for a (3l)th-order IIR filter benchmark is only 17.7% with a 128-bit configuration key, where 1 ≤ l ≤ 8, i.e., the order of this filter should be a multiple of 3, and can vary from 3 to 24. 9. VLSI2016_09 Accelerating Scalar Conversion for Koblitz Curve Cryptoprocessors on Hardware Platforms Koblitz curves are a class of computationally efficient elliptic curves where scalar multiplications can be accelerated using τ NAF representations of scalars. However, conversion from an integer scalar to a short τ NAF is a costly operation. In this paper, we improve the recently proposed scalar conversion scheme based on division by τ 2. We apply two levels of optimizations in the scalar conversion architecture. First, we reduce the number of long integer subtractions during the scalar conversion. This optimization reduces the computation cost and also simplifies the critical paths present in the conversion architecture. Then we implement pipelines in the architecture. The pipeline splitting increases the operating frequency without increasing the number of cycles. We have provided detailed experimental results to support our claims made in this paper. 2015- 2016 10. VLSI2016_10 Design of Self-Timed Reconfigurable Controllers for Parallel Synchronization via Wagging Synchronization is an important issue in modern system design as systems-on-chips integrate more diverse technologies, operating voltages, and clock frequencies on a single substrate. This paper presents a methodology for the design and implementation of a self-timed reconfigurable control device suitable for a parallel cascaded flip-flop synchronizer based on a principle known as wagging, through the application of distributed feedback graphs. By modifying the endpoint adjacency of a common behavior graph via one-hot codes, several configurable modes can be implemented in a single design specification, thereby facilitating direct control over the synchronization time and the mean-time between failures of the parallel master-slave latches in the synchronizer. Therefore, the resulting implementation is resistant to process non-idealities, which are present in physical design layouts. This paper includes a discussion of the reconfiguration protocol, and implementations of both a sequential token ring control device, and an interrupt subsystem necessary for reconfiguration, all simulated in UMC 90-nm technology. The interrupt subsystem demonstrates operating frequencies between 505 and 818 MHz per module, with average power consumptions between 70.7 and 90.0 µW in the typical-typical case under a corner analysis. 2015- 2016 11.

The proposed RFF allows the voltage regulator that generates the core supply voltage (VDD,core) to be turned off in the standby mode, and it thus reduces the standby power of the ZigBee SoCs. The logic states are retained in a slave latch composed of thick-oxide transistors using an I/O supply voltage (VDD,IO) that is always turned on. Level-up conversion from VDD,core to VDD,IO is achieved by an embedded nMOS pass-transistor level-conversion scheme that uses a low-only signal-transmitting technique. By embedding a retention latch and level-up converter into the data-to-output path of the proposed RFF, the RFF resolves the problems of the static RAM-based RFF, such as large dc current and low readability caused by threshold drop. The proposed RFF does not also require additional control signals for power mode transitioning. Using 0.13-µm process technology, we implemented an RFF with VDD,core and VDD,IO of 1.2 and 2.5 V, respectively. The maximum operating frequency is 300 MHz. The active energy of the RFF is 191.70 fJ, and its standby power is 350.25 pW. 2016 12. VLSI2016_12 All Digital Energy Sensing for Minimum Energy Tracking Minimizing energy consumption is of utmost importance in an energy starved system with relaxed performance requirements. This brief presents a digital energy sensing method that requires neither a constant voltage reference nor a time reference. An energy minimizing loop uses this to find the minimum energy point and sets the supply voltage between 0.2 and 0.5 V. Energy savings up to 1 275% over existing minimum energy tracking techniques in the literature is achieved. 2015- 2016 13. VLSI2016_13 Recursive Approach to the Design of a Parallel Self-Timed Adder This brief presents a parallel single-rail self-timed adder. It is based on a recursive formulation for performing multibit binary addition. The operation is parallel for those bits that do not need any carry chain propagation. Thus, the design attains logarithmic performance over random operand conditions without any special speedup circuitry or look- ahead schema. A practical implementation is provided along with a completion detection unit. The implementation is regular and does not have any practical limitations of high fanouts. A high fan-in gate is required though but this is unavoidable for asynchronous logic and is managed by connecting the transistors in parallel. Simulations have been performed using an industry standard toolkit that verify the practicality and superiority of the proposed approach over existing asynchronous adders. 2015- 2016 14.

The proposed algorithm exploits an extension of the fast convolution technique to multiple-input multiple-output systems. The proposed architecture is the first one devoted to the hardware implementation of PMM. Hardware implementation of the algorithm is achieved via highly pipelined, partly systolic field-programmable gate array (FPGA) architecture. The architecture, which is scalable in terms of the order of the input polynomial matrices, has been designed using the Xilinx system generator tool. We verify the algorithmic accuracy of the architecture through FPGA-in-the-loop hardware co- simulations. The application to sensor array signal processing is highlighted, in terms of strong de-correlation. The results are presented to demonstrate the accuracy and capability of the architecture. The results verify that the proposed solution gives low execution times while limiting the number of required FPGA resources. 15. VLSI2016_15 Implementation of Subthreshold Adiabatic Logic for Ultralow-Power Application Behavior of adiabatic logic circuits in weak inversion or subthreshold regime is analyzed in depth for the first time in the literature to make great improvement in ultralowpower circuit design. This novel approach is efficacious in low- speed operations where power consumption and longevity are the pivotal concerns instead of performance. The schematic and layout of a 4-bit carry look ahead adder (CLA) has been implemented to show the workability of the proposed logic. The effect of temperature and process parameter variations on subthreshold adiabatic logic-based 4-bit CLA has also been addressed separately. Postlayout simulations show that subthreshold adiabatic units can save significant energy compared with a logically equivalent static CMOS implementation. 2015- 2016 16. VLSI2016_16 FPGA-Based Bit Error Rate Performance Measurement of Wireless Systems This paper presents the bit error rate (BER) performance validation of digital baseband communication systems on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The proposed BER tester (BERT) integrates fundamental baseband signal processing modules of a typical wireless communication system along with a realistic fading channel simulator and an accurate Gaussian noise generator onto a single FPGA to provide an accelerated and repeatable test environment in a laboratory setting. Using a developed graphical user interface, the error rate performance of single- and multiple- antenna systems over a wide range of parameters can be rapidly evaluated. The FPGA-based BERT should reduce the need for time-consuming software based simulations, hence increasing the productivity. This FPGA-based solution is significantly more cost effective than conventional performance measurements made using expensive commercially available test equipment and channel simulators. 2015- 2016 17.

The paper presents the computationally-scalable algorithm and its hardware architecture able to support the intra encoding up to the 2160p@30fps resolution. The scalability allows thetradeoff between the throughput and the compression efficiency. In particular, the encoder is able to check a variable number of candidate modes. The rate estimation based on bin counting and the distortion estimation in the transform domain simplify the rate- distortion analysis and enable the evaluation of a great number of candidate intra modes. The encoder preselects candidate modes by the processing of 8×8 predictions computed from original samples. The preselection shares hardware resources used for the processing of predictions generated from reconstructed samples. To support intra 4×4 modes for the 2160p@30fps resolution, the encoder incorporates a separate reconstruction loop. The processing of blocks with different sizes is interleaved to compensate the delay of reconstruction loops. Implementation results show that the encoder utilizes 1086k gates and 52 kB on-chip memories for TSMC 90nm. The main reconstruction loop can operate at 400 MHz, whereas the remaining modules work at 200 MHz. For 2160p@30fps videos, the average BD- Rate is 5.46% compared to the HM software. 18. VLSI2016_18 Pre-Encoded Multipliers Based on Non-Redundant Radix-4 Signed-Digit Encoding In this paper, we introduce architecture of pre-encoded multipliers for Digital Signal Processing applications based on off-line encoding of coefficients. To this extend, the Non- Redundant radix-4 Signed-Digit (NR4SD) encoding technique, which uses the digit values {−1, 0, +1, +2} or {−2, −1, 0, +1}, is proposed leading to a multiplier design with less complex partial products implementation. Extensive experimental analysis verifies that the proposed pre-encoded NR4SD multipliers, including the coefficients memory, are more area and power efficient than the conventional Modified Booth scheme. 2015- 2016 19.

In this paper, we explore the possibility of realization of block FIR filter in transpose form configuration for area-delay efficient realization of large order FIR filters for both fixed and reconfigurable applications. Based on a detailed computational analysis of transpose form configuration of FIR filter, we have derived a flow graph for transpose form block FIR filter with optimized register complexity.

A low-complexity design using the MCM scheme is also presented for the block implementation of fixed FIR filters. The proposed structure involves significantly less area delay product (ADP) and less energy per sample (EPS) than the existing block implementation of direct-form structure for medium or large filter lengths, while for the short-length filters, the block implementation of direct-form FIR structure has less ADP and less EPS than the proposed structure. Application specific integrated circuit synthesis result shows that the proposed structure for block size 4 and filter length 64 involves 42% less ADP and 40% less EPS than the best available FIR filter structure proposed for reconfigurable applications. For the same filter length and the same block size, theproposed structure involves 13% less ADP and 12.8% less EPS than that of the existing direct-form block FIR structure. 20. VLSI2016_20 A Novel Photosensitive Tunneling Transistor for Near-Infrared Sensing Applications: Design, Modeling, and Simulation In this paper, a novel device structure, operating on the principle of band-to-band tunneling, has been designed for near-infrared (1–1.5 µm) multispectral optical sensing applications. A drain current model based on line tunneling approach has been developed to illustrate the device operation. The results of the model are compared with the simulated data for devices with similar dimension and structure, indicating good accuracy of the developed model. Spectral response of the device is studied by estimating the relative values of its transfer—as well as output— characteristics, and also by measuring the variation of threshold voltage, VT and ON-state current, ION. VT and ION are found to be sensitive to wavelength variations at moderate gate doping levels. VT is found to increase by ∼40 mV and ION decreases by 35% for a change of illumination wavelength from 1 to 1.5 µm at a gate doping of 1 × 1018 cm−3. Peak spectral sensitivity at an illumination intensity of 0.75 W/cm2 is found to be 318.38, 2.02 × 103, and 672.2 corresponding to the change in wavelength from (1–1.2 µm), (1.2–1.45 µm), and (1.45–1.5 µm), respectively. 2015- 2016 21.

The results show good speed with lower area as compared to state-of- the-art circuits. Additionally, this work proposes dynamic multi-frame processing schedule which efficiently utilizes the layered-LDPC decoding with minimum pipeline stages.

VLSI2016_22 A New Parallel VLSI Architecture for Real-time Electrical Capacitance Tomography This paper presents a fixed-point reconfigurable parallel VLSI hardware architecture for real-time Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT). It is modular and consists of a front-end module which performs precise capacitance measurements in a time multiplexed manner using Capacitance to Digital Converter (CDC) technique. Another FPGA module performs the inverse steps of the tomography algorithm. A dual port built-in memory banks store the sensitivity matrix, the actual value of the capacitances, and the actual image. A two dimensional (2D) core multiprocessing elements (PE) engine intercommunicates with these memory banks via parallel buses. A Hardware- software co-design methodology was conducted using commercially available tools in order to concurrently tune the algorithms and hardware parameters. Hence, the hardware was designed down to the bit-level in order to reduce both the hardware cost and power consumption, while satisfying real- time constraint. Quantization errors were assessed against the image quality and bit-level simulations demonstrate the correctness of the design. Further simulations indicate that the proposed architecture achieves a speed-up of up to three orders of magnitude over the software version when the reconstruction algorithm runs on 2.53 GHZ-based Pentium processor or DSP Ti’s Delphino TMS320F32837 processor. More specifically, a throughput of 17.241 Kframes/sec for both the Linear-Back Projection (LBP) and modified Landweber algorithms and 8.475 Kframes/sec for the Landweber algorithm with 200 iterations could be achieved. This performance was achieved using an array of [2×2] × [2×2] processing units. This satisfies the real-time constraint of many industrial applications. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first embedded system which explores the intrinsic parallelism which is available in modern FPGA for ECT tomography. 2015- 2016 23.

Moreover, detecting signal ratios using a fully differential circuit optimally suits the intrinsic nature of VLSI design. A scalable and compact hardware implementation is proposed as a proof-of-concept towards relative image acquisition. The proposed photo-current ratio-detecting pixels completely bypass the need of conventional photo-current integration which enables high frame-rate operation of up to 24000 frames-per-second (fps). The pulse-width modulated output of the proposed pixel is captured by compact column-parallel readout circuits based on digital counters. The developed 32×32 pixel array prototype CMOS image sensor consumes 4mW of power operating at a nominal 9765 fps frame rate, and 6.8mW of power operating at a maximum 24000fps. The presented prototype design is fully scalable towards newer CMOS fabrication nodes and higher sensor resolution. 25. VLSI2016_25 Low-Cost High-Performance VLSI Architecture for Montgomery Modular Multiplication This paper proposes a simple and efficient Montgomery multiplication algorithm such that the low-cost and high- performance Montgomery modular multiplier can be implemented accordingly. The proposed multiplier receives and outputs thedata with binary representation and uses only one-level carry-save adder (CSA) to avoid the carry propagation at each addition operation. This CSA is also used to perform operand pre-computation and format conversion from the carry save format to the binary representation, leading to a low hardware cost and short critical path delay at the expense of extra clock cycles for completing one modular multiplication. To overcome the weakness, a configurable CSA (CCSA), which could be one full-adder or two serial half-adders, is proposed to reduce the extra clock cycles for operand pre-computation and format conversion by half. In addition, a mechanism that can detect and skip the unnecessary carry-save addition operations in the one-level CCSA architecture while maintaining the short critical path delay is developed. As a result, the extra clock cycles for operand pre-computation and format conversion can be hidden and high throughput can be obtained. Experimental results show that the proposed Montgomery modular multiplier can achieve higher performance and significant area–time product improvement when compared with previous designs. 2015- 2016 26.

VLSI2016_27 A Novel Area-Efficient VLSI Architecture for Recursion Computation in LTE Turbo Decoders Long term evolution (LTE) is aimed to achieve the peak data rates in excess of 300 Mb/s for the next generation wireless communication systems. Turbo codes, the specified channel coding scheme in LTE, suffer from a low-decoding throughput due to its iterative decoding algorithm. One efficient approach to achieve a promising throughput is to use multiple Maximum a-Posteriori (MAP) cores in parallel, resulting in a large area overhead. The two computationally challenging units in an MAP core are α and β recursion units. Although several methods have been proposed to shorten the critical path of these recursion units, their area-efficient architecture with minimum silicon area is still missing. In this paper, a novel relation existing between α and β metrics is introduced, leading to a novel add-compare- select (ACS) architecture. The proposed technique can be applied to both the precise approximation of log-MAP and max-log MAP ACS architectures. The proposed ACS design, implemented in a 0.13 µm CMOS technology and customized for the LTE standard, results in at most 18.1% less area compared to the reported designs to-date while maintaining the same throughput level. 2015- 2016 28. VLSI2016_28 Comparative Performance Analysis of the Dielectrically Modulated FullGate and Short-Gate Tunnel FET-Based Biosensors In this paper, a short-gate tunneling-field-effecttransistor (SG-TFET) structure has been investigated for the dielectrically modulated biosensing applications in comparison with a full-gate tunneling-field-effect-transistor structure of similar dimensions. This paper explores the underlying physics of these architectures and estimates their comparative sensing performance. The sensing performance has been evaluated for both the charged and charge-neutral biomolecules using extensive device-level simulation, and the effects of the biomolecule dielectric constant and charge density are also studied. In SG-TFET architecture, the reduction of the gate length enhances its drain control over the band-to-band tunneling process and this has been exploited for the detection, resulting to superior drain current sensitivity for biomolecule conjugation. The gate and drain biasing conditions show dominant impact on the sensitivity enhancement in the short-gate biosensors. Therefore, the gate and drain bias are identified as the effective design parameters for the efficiency optimization. 2015- 2016 29.

To design an efficient reconfigurable FIR filter, according to the proposed VHBCSE algorithm, 2-bit binary common sub- expression elimination (BCSE) algorithm has been applied vertically across adjacent coefficients on the 2-D space of the coefficient matrix initially, followed by applying variable-bit BCSE algorithm horizontally within each coefficient. This technique is capable of reducing the average probability of use or the switching activity of the multiplier block adders by 6.2% and 19.6% as compared to that of two existing 2-bit and 3-bit BCSE algorithms respectively. ASIC implementation results of FIR filters using this multiplier show that the proposed VHBCSE algorithm is also successful in reducing the average power consumption by 32% and 52% along with an improvement in the area power product (APP) by 25% and 66% compared to those of the 2-bit and 3-bit BCSE algorithms respectively. As regards the implementation of FIR filter, improvements of 13% and 28% in area delay product (ADP) and 76.1% and 77.8% in power delay product (PDP) for the proposed VHBCSE algorithm have been achieved over those of the earlier multiple constant multiplication (MCM) algorithms, viz. faithfully rounded truncated multiple constant multiplication/accumulation (MCMAT) and multi-root binary partition graph (MBPG) respectively. Efficiency shown by the results of comparing the FPGA and ASIC implementations of the reconfigurable FIR filter designed using VHBCSE algorithm based constant multiplier establishes the suitability of the proposed algorithm for efficient fixed point reconfigurable FIR filter synthesis. 30.

In this paper, an algorithm for nonrigid image registration based on Demons approximation is proposed. The algorithm has been simulated in MATLAB and results show a 15% improvement in peaksignal-to-noise-ratio with a 17% reduction in registration time for 256 × 256 image over the original Demons algorithm. The proposed algorithm is synthesized in Virtex6-xc6vlx760-2-ff1760 and maximum synthesized frequency is found to be 174 MHz.

Reconfigurable scan architectures, as allowed by the novel IEEE Std 1149.1-2013 (JTAG) and IEEE Std 1687- 2014 (IJTAG), emerge as a scalable mechanism for access to such on-chip instruments. While the on-chip instrumentation is crucial for meeting quality, dependability, and time-to-market goals, it is prone to abuse and threatens system safety and security. A secure access management method is mandatory to assure that critical instruments be accessible to authorized entities only. This work presents a novel protection method for fine- grained access management in complex reconfigurable scan networks based on a challenge-response authentication protocol. The target scan network is extended with an authorization instrument and Secure Segment Insertion Bits (S2IB) that together control the accessibility of individual instruments. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first fine-grained access management scheme that scales well with the number of protected instruments and offers a high level of security.

The proposed detector starts with an initial estimate of the transmitted signal based on a minimum mean square error (MMSE) detector. Subsequently, it recognizes less reliable symbols for which more candidates in the constellation are browsed to improve the initial estimate. Efficient high- throughput VLSI architecture is also introduced achieving a superior performance compared to the conventional MMSE detectors with less than 28% added complexity. The performance of the proposed design is close to the existing maximum likelihood post-detection processing (ML-PDP) scheme, while resulting in a significantly lower complexity, i.e., and times fewer Euclidean distance (ED) calculations in the 16-QAM and 64-QAM schemes, respectively. The proposed design for the 16-QAM scheme is fabricated in a 0.13 CMOS technology and fully tested, achieving a 1.332 Gbps throughput, reporting the first fabricated design for SC- FDMA MIMO detectors to-date.

VLSI2016_34 Novel Block-Formulation and Area-Delay-Efficient Reconfigurable Interpolation Filter Architecture for Multi-Standard SDR Applications A poly-phase based interpolation filter computation involves an input-matrix and coefficient-matrix of size each, where is the up-sampling factor and , is the filter length. The input- matrix and the coefficient-matrix resizes when changes. An analysis of interpolation filter computation for different up- sampling factors is made in this paper to identify redundant computations and removed those by reusing partial results. Reuse of partial results eliminates the necessity of matrix resizing in interpolation filter computation. A novel block-formulation is presented to share the partial results for parallel computation of filter outputs of different up-sampling factors. Using the proposed block formulation, a parallel multiplier-based reconfigurable architecture is derived for interpolation filter. The most remarkable aspect of the proposed architecture is that, it does not require reconfiguration to compute filter outputs of an interpolation filter for different up-sampling factor. Theproposed structure has regular data-flow and it has no overhead complexity for its reconfigurable feature unlike the existing structures. Besides, the proposed structure has significantly less register complexity than the existing structure and its register complexity is independent of the block-size. Moreover, the proposed structure can support higher input-sampling frequency than the existing structure. ASIC synthesis result shows that the proposed structure for block-size 4, filter length 32, and up-sampling factor 8, involves 13.6 times more area and offers 245 times higher maximum input- sampling frequency compared with the existing multiplier- less structure. It involves 18.6 times less area-delay-product (ADP) and 9.5 times less energy per output (EPO) than the existing multiplier-less structure. 2015- 2016 35.

To the best knowledge of the authors, the proposed decoders have higher throughput and area-time efficiency than any other solution for high-rate NB-LDPC codes with high Galois field order. 36. VLSI2016_36 A Low-Cost Hardware Architecture for Illumination Adjustment in Real-Time Applications For real-time surveillance and safety applications in intelligent transportation systems, high-speed processing for image enhancement is necessary and must be considered. In this paper, we propose a fast and efficient illumination adjustment algorithm that is suitable for low-cost very large scale integration implementation. Experimental results show that the proposed method requires the least number of operations and achieves comparable visual quality as compared with previous techniques. To further meet the requirement of real-time image/video applications, the 16- stage pipelined hardware architecture of our method is implemented as an intellectual property core. Our design yields a processing rate of about 200 MHz by using TSMC 0.13-μm technology. Since it can process one pixel per clock cycle, for an image with a resolution of QSXGA (2560 × 2048), it requires about 27 ms to process one frame that is suitable for real-time applications. In some low-cost intelligent imaging systems, the processing rate can be slowed down, and our hardware core can run at very low power consumption. 2015- 2016 37. VLSI2016_37 A 2.5-Gb/s DLL-Based Burst-Mode Clock and Data Recovery Circuit With 4× Oversampling In this brief, a delay-locked loop (DLL)-based burst-mode clock and data recovery (BMCDR) circuit using a 4× oversampling technique is realized for passive optical network. With the help of DLL to track the input phase, the proposed circuit can recover the burst mode data in a short acquisition time and achieve large jitter tolerance. In addition, a 2.5-GHz four-phase clock generator is embedded in the chip. Implemented with a 0.18-µm CMOS technology, experiment shows that the acquisition time can be accomplished in the time of 31 bits. Incoming 2.5-Gb/s input data of 231–1 pseudorandom binary sequence, the retimed data has a root-mean-square jitter of 8.557 ps and a peakto- peak jitter of 32.0 ps, and the measured bit error rate is less than 10−10. The area of the whole chip is 1.4 × 1.4 mm2, where the BMCDR circuit core occupies 0.81 × 0.325 mm2. The totalpower consumption is 130 mW from a 1.8 V supply voltage. 2015- 2016 38.

A similar phenomenon, positive bias temperature instability, occurs when an nMOS transistor is under positive bias. Both effects degrade transistor speed, and in the long term, the system may fail due to timing violations. Therefore, it is important to design reliable high-performance multipliers. In this paper, we propose an aging-aware multiplier design with a novel adaptive hold logic (AHL) circuit. The multiplier is able to provide higher throughput through the variable latency and can adjust the AHL circuit to mitigate performance degradation that is due to the aging effect. Moreover, the proposed architecture can be applied to a column- or row-bypassing multiplier. The experimental results show that our proposed architecture with 16 × 16 and 32 × 32 column-bypassing multipliers can attain up to 62.88% and 76.28% performance improvement, respectively, compared with 16×16 and 32×32 fixed-latency column- bypassing multipliers. Furthermore, our proposed architecture with 16 × 16 and 32 × 32 row-bypassing multipliers can achieve up to 80.17% and 69.40% performance improvement as compared with 16×16 and 32 × 32 fixed-latency row-bypassing multipliers. 39. VLSI2016_39 Reverse Converter Design via Parallel-Prefix Adders: Novel Components, Methodology, and Implementations In this brief, the implementation of residue number system reverse converters based on well-known regular and modular parallel prefix adders is analyzed. The VLSI implementation results show a significant delay reduction and area × time2 improvements, all this at the cost of higher power consumption, which is the main reason preventing the use of parallel-prefix adders to achieve high-speed reverse converters in nowadays systems. Hence, to solve the high power consumption problem, novel specific hybrid parallel- prefix-based adder components that provide better tradeoff between delay and power consumption are herein presented to design reverse converters. A methodology is also described to design reverse converters based on different kinds of prefix adders. This methodology helps the designer to adjust the performance of the reverse converter based on the target application and existing constraints. 2015- 2016 40. VLSI2016_40 Fully Reused VLSI Architecture of FM0/Manchester Encoding Using SOLS Technique for DSRC Applications The dedicated short-range communication (DSRC) is an emerging technique to push the intelligent transportation system into our daily life. The DSRC standards generally adopt FM0 and Manchester codes to reach dc-balance, enhancing the signal reliability. Nevertheless, the coding- diversity between the FM0 and Manchester codes seriously limits the potential to design a fully reused VLSI architecture for both. In this paper, the similarity-oriented logic simplification (SOLS) technique is proposed to overcome this limitation. The SOLS technique improves the hardware utilization rate from 57.14% to 100% for both FM0 and Manchester encodings. The performance of this paper is 2015- 2016
