A Versatile Mask Configurable Power Array
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new approach highly suitable to implement cost effective semicustom Smart Power ICs and intelligent discrete high power devices is presented. A versatile mask configurable power array is proposed to become a high volume standard product. Design strategies are discussed. An overview on integration strategies and layout considerations, using a standard, low cost, CMOS technology, with no extra processing steps are also presented. This approach allows the fast prototyping of a wide range of applications. A half-bridge implementation is presented. A voltage regulator for portable telecommunications is implemented as an example of this new methodology.

Low-Power Configurable Processor Array for DLMS Adaptive Filtering
I n this paper, we first present a pipelined delayed least mean square (DLMS) adaptive filter architecture whose power dissipation meets a specified budget. This low-power architecture exploits the parallelism in the DLMS algorithm to meet the required computational throughput. The architecture exhibits a novel tradeoff between algorithmic performance and power dissipation. This architecture is...
متن کاملHW/SW Co-design of Real-time Video Applications Using a Custom Configurable Prototyping Platform
In this paper, a modular, configurable and versatile prototype platform for real-time video and image processing is presented. Based on the FPGA technology and a RISC softcore processor for data processing, the platform supports simultaneous HW/SW co-design and partitioning. This reduces application design cycle and shortens design iterations, especially considering the later design steps. As e...
متن کاملImpact of Custom Interconnect Masks on Cost and Performance of Structured ASICs
As process technology scales, the design effort and Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) costs associated with the development of Integrated Circuits (ICs) is becoming extremely high. One of the main reasons is the high cost of preparing and processing IC fabrication masks. The design effort and cost can be reduced by employing Structured Application-Specific ICs (Structured ASICs). Structured ASICs...

متن کاملReconfigurable Multi-Array Architecture for Low- Power and High-Speed Embedded Systems
Coarse-grained reconfigurable architecture (CGRA) based embedded systems aims to achieve high system performance with sufficient flexibility to map a variety of applications. However, the CGRA has been considered as prohibitive one due to its significant area/power overhead and performance bottleneck. In this work, I propose reconfigurable multi-array architecture to reduce power/area and enhan...
