The Motorola DSP56001 is a state-of-the-art digital signal processing chip that can execute (with the clock at 25 MHz) 12.5 million instructions per second and, in a single instruction, can perform a 24 by 24-bit multiply, a 48 plus 56-bit addition, two parallel data moves, an instruction fetch and decode, and two general index updates. The 24-bit data paths and computational architecture make ...

The utilization of microfluidic "lab-on-a-chip" devices in fundamental medical research, drug discovery and clinical diagnostics has rapidly increased in the past decade. Lab-on-a-chip devices process small volumes of analytes and reagents through on-chip microfluidic signal processing circuits.

Volume 2, Issue 2 March – April 2013 Page 306 Abstract—Now-a-days various Digital Signal Processing systems are implemented on a platform of programmable signal processors or on application specific VLSI chips. Coordinate Rotation Digital Computer (CORDIC) algorithm has turned out to be such kind of programmable signal processor. In recent times, it has been a widely researched topic in the fie...

An Efficient analog to digital interface (TDC/DTC) is presented. In particular, we explore time-based techniques for data conversion, which can potentially achieve significant reductions in power consumption while keeping silicon chip area will be very small. On the basis of a generic mixed-signal system the scaling difficulties of analog and mixed-signal circuits based on a signal representati...

The implementation of coherent systems in communications involves the post-processing optical transmitted signal after photodetection due to need mitigate transmission impairments. This processing is currently performed electrical domain using a digital device (DSP), which increases latency, and costs form power consumption additional equipment. use programmable photonics opens door correcting ...

This paper describes a new concept for ultra-small, ultra-compact, unattended multi-phenomenological sensor systems for rapid deployment, with integrated classification-and-decision-information extraction capability from a sensed environment. We discuss a unique approach, namely a 3-D Heterogeneous System on a Chip (HSoC) in order to achieve a minimum 10X reduction in weight, volume, and power ...

Recent advances in digital signal processing (DSP) technology make it easier for scientists to develop powerful personal computer-based data acquisition and analysis systems. This application note discusses DSP technology from a hardware, software, and application point of view. The Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) architecture of the Texas Instruments (TI) TMS320C30 chip is used as an e...

In heterogeneous tiled System-on-Chip architectures a Network-on-Chip is used to transport messages between processing elements. A reconfigurable network interface is used to connect the processing elements to the Network-on-Chip, converting the messages between both domains. This paper introduces the Hydra: a network interface for the MONTIUM TP, a coarse-grained reconfigurable processor desig...

Multiplication and Squaring functions are widely used in many real time applications. They form an integral part in implementation of many Digital Signal Processing, Digital Image Processing and Multimedia algorithms. The size and power consumption of a DSP chip is influenced by the multiplication and squaring architectures that are used. The aim of this paper is to propose a novel fixed width,...
