This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: System-on-a-chip (SoC) designs result in a wide range of high-complexity, high-value semiconductor products. As the technology scales towards smaller feature sizes and chips grow larger, a speed limitation arises due to an in creased RC delay associated with interconnection wires. Innovative circuit techniques are required to achieve the speed needed for high-performance signal processing. Current sensing is considered as a promising circuit class since it is inherently faster than conventional voltage sense amplifiers. How ever, especially in SRAM, current sensing has rarely been used so far. Practi cal implementations are challenging because they require sophisticated analog circuit techniques in a digital environment. The objective of this book is to provide a systematic and comprehen sive insight into current sensing techniques. Both theoretical and practical aspects are covered. Design guidelines are derived by systematic analysis of different circuit principles. Innovative concepts like compensation of the bit line multiplexer and auto-power-down will be explained based on theory and experimental results. The material will be interesting for design engineers in industry as well as researchers who want to learn about and apply current sensing techniques. The focus is on embedded SRAM but the material presented can be adapted to single-chip SRAM and to any other current-providing memory type as well. This includes emerging memory technologies like magnetic RAM (MRAM) and Ovonic Unified Memory (OUM). Moreover, it is also applicable to array like structures such as CMOS camera chips and to circuits for signal trans mission along highly capacitive busses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kevin Zhang Advancement of semiconductor technology has driven the rapid growth of very large scale integrated (VLSI) systems for increasingly broad applications, incl- ing high-end and mobile computing, consumer electronics such as 3D gaming, multi-function or smart phone, and various set-top players and ubiquitous sensor and medical devices. To meet the increasing demand for higher performance and lower power consumption in many different system applications, it is often required to have a large amount of on-die or embedded memory to support the need of data bandwidth in a system. The varieties of embedded memory in a given system have alsobecome increasingly more complex, ranging fromstatictodynamic and volatile to nonvolatile. Among embedded memories, six-transistor (6T)-based static random access memory (SRAM) continues to play a pivotal role in nearly all VLSI systems due to its superior speed and full compatibility with logic process technology. But as the technology scaling continues, SRAM design is facing severe challenge in mainta- ing suf?cient cell stability margin under relentless area scaling. Meanwhile, rapid expansion in mobile application, including new emerging application in sensor and medical devices, requires far more aggressive voltage scaling to meet very str- gent power constraint. Many innovative circuit topologies and techniques have been extensively explored in recent years to address these challenges.

Download or read book Memory Optimizations of Embedded Applications for Energy Efficiency written by Jong Soo Park and published by Stanford University. This book was released on 2011 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current embedded processors often do not satisfy increasingly demanding computation requirements of embedded applications within acceptable energy efficiency, whereas application-specific integrated circuits require excessive design costs. In the Stanford Elm project, it was identified that instruction and data delivery, not computation, dominate the energy consumption of embedded processors. Consequently, the energy efficiency of delivering instructions and data must be sufficiently improved to close the efficiency gap between application-specific integrated circuits and programmable embedded processors. This dissertation demonstrates that the compiler and run-time system can play a crucial role in improving the energy efficiency of delivering instructions and data. Regarding instruction delivery, I present a compiler algorithm that manages L0 instruction scratch-pad memories that reside between processor cores and L1 caches. Despite the lack of tags, the scratch-pad memories with our algorithm can achieve lower miss rates than caches with the same capacities, saving significant instruction delivery energy. Regarding data delivery, I present methods that minimize memory-space requirements for parallelizing stream applications, applications that are commonly found in the embedded domain. When stream applications are parallelized in pipelining, large enough buffers are required between pipeline stages to sustain the throughput (e.g., double buffering). For static stream applications where production and consumption rates of stages are close to compile-time constants, a compiler analysis is presented, which computes the minimum buffer capacity that maximizes the throughput. Based on this analysis, a new static streamscheduling algorithm is developed, which yields considerable speed-up and data delivery energy saving compared to a previous algorithm. For dynamic stream applications, I present a dynamically-sized array-based queue design that achieves speed-up and data delivery energy saving compared to a linked-list based queue design.

This book was released on 2010-11-29 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Embedded systems have been almost invisibly pervading our daily lives for several decades. They facilitate smooth operations in avionics, automotive electronics, or telecommunication. New problems arise by the increasing employment, interconnection, and communication of embedded systems in heterogeneous environments: How secure are these embedded systems against attacks or breakdowns? Therefore, how can embedded systems be designed to be more secure? How can embedded systems autonomically react to threats? Facing these questions, Sorin A. Huss is significantly involved in the exploration of design methodologies for secure embedded systems. This Festschrift is dedicated to him and his research on the occasion of his 60th birthday.
