Extraction of Fetal ECG from Abdominal and Thorax ECG Using a Non-Causal Adaptive Filter Architecture
Base Paper Abstract:
Extracting the Electrocardiogram (ECG) of a fetus from the ECG signal of the maternal abdomen is a challenging task due to different artifacts. The paper proposes a N-tap non-causal adaptive filter (NC-AF) that update the weight by considering the N number of past weights and N − 1 number of the reference signal and error signal samples after the processing sample number n. Using the maternal abdominal signal as the primary signal and thorax signal as the reference input, the output e(n) is obtained from the mean of N number of errors. The filtering performance of NC-AF was evaluated using the Synthetic dataset and Daisy dataset with the metrics such as correlation coefficient (γ), peak root mean square difference (PRD), the output signal to noise ratio (SNR), root mean square error (RMSE), and fetal R-peak detection accuracy (FRPDA). The NC-AF provides a maximum correlation coefficient, PRD, SNR, RMSE and FRPDA of 0.9851, 83.04%, 8.52 dB, 0.208 and 97.09% respectively with filter length N = 38. The paper also proposes the architecture of NC-AF that can be implemented in hardware like FPGA. Further, the NC-AF was implemented on Virtex-7 FPGA and its performance is evaluated in terms of resource utilization, throughput, and power consumption. For filter length N = 38 and word length L = 24, the maximum performance of the filter can be attained with a power consumption of 1.287W and a maximum clock frequency of 139.47 MHz.

Fast and Hardware-Efficient Variable Step Size Adaptive Beamformer
Base Paper Abstract:
Constant step size least mean square (CSS-LMS) is one of the most popular adaptive beamforming algorithms. However, for varying channel signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), the CSS algorithms are not effective, and there is a need for variable step size (VSS) algorithms. The VSS algorithms provide extremely deep nulls for the interferences; however, they are complex to implement on hardware. Hence, this paper proposes two hardware-efficient variable step size algorithms, namely, efficient variable step size LMS (EVSS-LMS) and reduced complexity parallel LMS (EVSS-RC-pLMS). The proposed EVSS algorithms eliminate the complex operations of VSS algorithms like division and exponential and approximate them to simpler operations. Further, MATLAB simulations demonstrate accelerated convergence, deep nulls, a lower error floor, and better performance in varying SNR environments for the proposed algorithms. Additionally, the finite precision radiation patterns are similar to infinite precision. Hardware synthesis results show the outstanding performance of EVSS in terms of resource utilization on the Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA.

Feed forward-Cutset-Free Pipelined Multiply–Accumulate Unit for the Machine Learning Accelerator
Abstract:
Multiply–accumulate (MAC) computations account for a large part of machine learning accelerator operations. The pipelined structure is usually adopted to improve the performance by reducing the length of critical paths. An increase in the number of flip-flops due to pipelining, however, generally results in significant area and power increase. A large number of flip-flops are often required to meet the feed forward-cutset rule. Based on the observation that this rule can be relaxed in machine learning applications, we propose a pipelining method that eliminates some of the flip-flops selectively. The simulation results show that the proposed MAC unit achieved a 20% energy saving and a 20% area reduction compared with the conventional pipelined MAC.

FPGA Based High Definition SPWM Generation With Harmonic Mitigation Property
Abstract:
High-resolution sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) switching is beneficial in order to achieve compact size and fine sinusoidal output of dc–ac converters. In this article, a novel field-programmable gate array (FPGA) based high-definition SPWM (HD-SPWM) architecture is proposed for adopting a scheme of integrating a lower frequency PWM train to a high-frequency SPWM train in order to suppress inverter output harmonics while achieving high resolution output. An optimized FPGA based two-stage finite-state-machine (FSM) architecture is designed, where the initial stage decides pulse widths of a lower frequency PWM train based on the premeditated pulse width of the high-frequency SPWM train, whereas in the final stage, lower frequency PWM pulse widths are integrated with the high-frequency SPWM pulse widths to generate updated pulse widths of high-frequency SPWM, i.e., HD-SPWM. Moreover, a pre-formulation mathematical model is established for the calculation of duty-cycle count values of pulse trains to support the online adjustment of modulation index (MI) of the HD-SPWM. The proposed generation has the benefits of harmonic mitigation, online fine adjustment of MI, low-processing time, and requirement of a minor segment of a medium-sized FPGA; thereby, providing a good tradeoff between larger designs and higher performance. Theoretical calculations, characteristics, and design contemplations are specified, and the HD-SPWM generation is demonstrated through experimentation with a Xilinx Spartan-3 FPGA board.

FPGA Based True Random Number Generation Using Programmable Delays in Oscillator Rings
Abstract:
True random number generators play a fundamental role in cryptographic systems. This paper presents a new and efficient method to generate true random numbers on field programmable gate array by utilizing the random jitter of free running oscillators as a source of randomness. The free-running oscillator rings incorporate programmable delay lines to generate large variation of the oscillations and to introduce jitter in the generated ring oscillators clocks. The main advantage of the proposed true random number generator utilizing programmable delay lines is to reduce correlation between several equal length oscillator rings, and thus improve the randomness qualities. In addition, a Von Neumann corrector as post-processor is employed to remove any bias in the output bit sequence. The validation of the proposed approach is demonstrated on Xilinx Spartan-3A FPGAs. The proposed true random number generator occupies 528 slices, achieves 6 Mbps throughput with 0.999 per bit entropy rate, and passes all the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) statistical tests.

FPGA Implementation of 64 Block Data Encryption Standard Algorithm
Proposed Abstract:
The Data Encryption Standard (DES) is widely recognized as the inaugural and prevailing symmetric key method used for the cryptographic processes of encrypting and decrypting digital data. Despite its lack of security against determined attackers in contemporary times, the use of this method persists in older systems. This work introduces a novel implementation of the Data Encryption and Decryption Standard algorithm using Field Programming Gate Arrays (FPGAs) that prioritizes security, high throughput, and space efficiency. The suggested solution involves the creation of a system that utilizes a block size of 64 bits and a key length that is also 64 bits. Additionally, the system operates with a data width of 64 bits. This achievement is accomplished by integrating the notion of pipelining with time variable permutations, and then comparing it with previously shown encryption techniques. The permutations undergo temporal variations under the control of the cryptographer. Hence, the cipher text also undergoes alteration while the key and plaintext remain constant. The algorithm under consideration has been successfully executed on the Xilinx Vetex-5 Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) platform. The findings of this study indicate that the suggested implementation exhibits exceptional speed in comparison to other hardware implementations. Additionally, it demonstrates superior area efficiency and significantly enhanced security measures.

FPGA Implementation of 8×8 Truncated Multiplier Using Brent Kung Parallel Prefix Adder
Proposed Abstract:
Multiplication is a critical operation in many digital signal processing and machine learning applications, where fast and efficient computation is essential. However, conventional multipliers that compute n x n bit products result in significant hardware overhead and increased power consumption. To address these challenges, this paper proposes an FPGA implementation of an 8x8 truncated multiplier utilizing the Brent-Kung parallel prefix adder to improve both speed and resource efficiency. The proposed truncated multiplier limits the output to n bits, discarding the least significant bits and utilizing a variable correction technique to minimize the error introduced by truncation. By selectively summing the most significant columns, the design achieves a balance between accuracy and hardware efficiency, providing a reduced-area solution for approximate computing. The Brent-Kung parallel prefix adder is integrated into the multiplier architecture to optimize the carry propagation stage, reducing the overall critical path delay. This adder is known for its logarithmic depth, which significantly improves the speed of the summation process while using fewer logic gates compared to traditional adders. This design was implemented in Verilog HDL and synthesized on a Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA platform. Comparative analysis with a conventional multiplier shows that the proposed truncated multiplier achieves a notable reduction in FPGA resource utilization, including logic elements and power consumption, without sacrificing significant accuracy. The architecture particularly suitable for applications where speed and low power consumption are paramount, such as real-time image processing, DSP systems, and machine learning accelerators.

FPGA Implementation of Spread Spectrum Clock Generator with Onion Modulation
Proposed Abstract:
A Spread Spectrum Clock Generator (SSCG) is used in electronics to purposefully vary the frequency of a clock signal via modulation. Modulation is accomplished by dispersing the energy of the signal throughout a spectrum of frequencies rather than focusing it on a certain frequency. The main objective of using the spread spectrum approach in clock generation is to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and enhance electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in electronic systems. The main reason for using many layers of modulation in spread spectrum clock production, regardless of whether the name "Onion Modulation" is used, is to provide a more advanced and adaptable method for reducing electromagnetic interference. The primary design feature of the onion wave is that the core portion of the waveform has the least steep slope, which serves to generate the output. In order to optimize the frequency effect design, the conventional approach involves using a memory ROM to regulate the slope and obtain the desired onion waveform. This current methodology necessitates substantial memory allocation and an intricate architecture, resulting in higher power consumption. The proposed method presents a unique architecture for onion modulation, which offers reduced logic size and power usage. This architecture was created using Verilog HDL, tested using Modelsim, and implemented using the Xilinx Vertex-5 FPGA.

One approach is adaptive digital beamforming, which adjusts an antenna array’s radiation pattern based on the desired received signal. Adaptation based on Least-Mean Squared (LMS) and its variants is still one of the most common literature methods. Although LMS techniques present good computational performance, the increase in antennas’ numbers led to high-performance hardware.

Frequency-Boost Jitter Reduction for Voltage-Controlled Ring Oscillators
Ring oscillators (ROs) are popular due to their small area, modest power, wide tuning range, and ease of scaling with process technology. However, their use in many applications is limited due to poor phase noise and jitter performance. Thermal noise and flicker noise contribute jitter that decreases inversely with oscillation frequency. This paper describes a frequency boost technique to reduce jitter in ROs. We boost the internal oscillation frequency and introduce a frequency divider following the oscillator to maintain the desired output frequency. This approach offers reduced jitter as well as the opportunity to trade off output jitter with power for dynamic performance management. The oscillator has 32 operating modes, corresponding to different values for the ring size and frequency division. In a 0.5-µm CMOS process, the highest oscillation frequency achieved is 25 MHz with a root-mean-square period jitter of 54 ps and a power consumption of 817 µW at 5 V supply. A jitter model for current-starved oscillators was derived and verified by measurement; a direct relationship between oscillation frequency and jitter was derived and measured. Compared with other oscillators, this design achieves the highest performance in terms of jitter per unit interval and figure-of-merit. The performance is expected to improve in more advanced technologies. The results are summarized to offer design guidance based on the frequency boost technique.

Gate diffusion input based 4-bit Vedic multiplier design
Abstract:
A multiplier is one of the key hardware blocks in most of the processors. Multiplication is a lengthy, time-consuming task. Vedic multiplication in field programmable gate array implementation has been proven effective in reducing the number of steps and circuit delay. Conventionally at the circuit level, complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) logic is used to design a multiplier. In CMOS circuits, the area is always an issue. Gate diffusion input (GDI)-based logic has been explored in the literature to reduce the number of transistors for various logic functions. Thus, Vedic mathematics, on the one hand, simplifies the multiplication process and reduces the delay; while on the other hand, GDI technique helps in minimizing the transistor count (TC) and reduction in power. Therefore, this study puts forth a GDI logic-based 4-bit Vedic multiplier. To study the effectiveness of the GDI logic, the transient response of a 2-bit Vedic multiplier using CMOS and GDI is compared. For the 4-bit Vedic multiplier, two design approaches are taken into consideration. The performance of these circuits is analyzed in terms of average power dissipation, delay, and TC. The effect of supply voltage scaling is also studied. The circuit simulations are carried out at 130 nm for bulk metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor predictive technology model-based device parameters.

Hamming based Single Fault Error Correction Code
Proposed Abstract:
Signal processing and communication systems often use digital filters. In certain circumstances, the dependability of such systems is essential, prompting the construction of fault-tolerant filters. Many methods that take use of the structure and characteristics of the filters to achieve fault tolerance have been put forward throughout the years. Technology advances permit more intricate systems with several filters. It is typical for some of the filters in such complicated systems to function in simultaneously, for instance by using the same filter on several input signals. Recently, a straightforward method for achieving fault tolerance was given that takes use of the existence of parallel filters. This paper expands on that concept to demonstrate how error correction codes (ECCs), in which each filter is the equivalent of a bit in a conventional ECC, may be used to secure parallel filters. When there are several parallel filters operating simultaneously, this new technique enables more effective protection. The efficiency of the method in terms of protection and implementation cost is assessed using a case study of parallel finite impulse response filters.

Hardware-Efficient Logarithmic Floating-Point Multipliers for Error-Tolerant Applications
Base Paper Abstract:
The increasing computational intensity of important new applications poses a challenge for their use in resource restricted devices. Approximate computing using power-efficient arithmetic circuits is one of the emerging strategies to reach this objective. In this article, five hardware-efficient logarithmic floating-point (FP) multipliers are proposed, which all use simple operators, such as adders and multiplexers, to replace complex and costlier conventional FP multipliers. Radix-4 logarithms are used to further reduce the hardware complexity. These designs produce double-sided error distributions to mitigate error accumulation in complex computations. The proposed multipliers provide superior trade-offs between accuracy and hardware, with up to 30.8% higher accuracy than a recent logarithmic FP design or up to 68× less energy than the conventional FP multiplier. Using the proposed FP logarithmic multipliers in JPEG image compression achieves higher image quality than a recent logarithmic multiplier design with up to 4.7 dB larger peak signal-to-noise ratio. For training in benchmark NN applications, the proposed FP multipliers can slightly improve the classification accuracy while achieving 4.2× less energy and 2.2× smaller area than the state-of-the-art design.

High Performance Accurate and Approximate Multipliers for FPGA based Hardware Accelerators
Abstract:
Multiplication is one of the widely used arithmetic operations in a variety of applications, such as image/video processing and machine learning. FPGA vendors provide high performance multipliers in the form of DSP blocks. These multipliers are not only limited in number and have fixed locations on FPGAs but can also create additional routing delays and may prove inefficient for smaller bit-width multiplications. Therefore, FPGA vendors additionally provide optimized soft IP cores for multiplication. However, in this work, we advocate that these soft multiplier IP cores for FPGAs still need better designs to provide high-performance and resource efficiency. Towards this, we present generic area-optimized, low-latency accurate and approximate soft-core multiplier architectures, which exploit the underlying architectural features of FPGAs, i.e., look-up table (LUT) structures and fast carry chains to reduce the overall critical path delay and resource utilization of multipliers. Compared to Xilinx multiplier LogiCORE IP, our proposed unsigned and signed accurate architecture provides up to 25% and 53% reduction in LUT utilization, respectively, for different sizes of multipliers. Moreover, with our unsigned approximate multiplier architectures, a reduction of up to 51% in the critical path delay can be achieved with an insignificant loss in output accuracy when compared with the LogiCORE IP. For illustration, we have deployed the proposed multiplier architecture in accelerators used in image and video applications, and evaluated them for area and performance gains.

These different types of digital filters and filter orders are applied with the addition of a sine signal with a frequency of 16 Hz and a random noise signal. The work was done by two approaches: the first by simulation method through coupling between MATLAB/Simulink and Xilinx ISE Design Suite programs. While the second is by the practical method of loading these simulation block diagrams on FPGA. The performance of the work is measured by the difference between the sine signal and filtered signal and by the difference between the simulation results and practical results. Using FPGA with digital filters in this research gives a major advantage which is the simulation results equal to the practical results (Difference equal to zero).

High speed and low power preset-able modified TSPC D flip-flop design and performance comparison with TSPC D flip-flop
Abstract:
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a nuclear functional imaging technique that produces a three-dimensional image of functional organs in the body. PET requires high resolution, fast and low power multichannel analog to digital converter (ADC). A typical multichannel ADC for PET scanner architecture consists of several blocks. Most of the blocks can be designed by using fast, low power D flip-flops. A preset-able true single phase clocked (TSPC) D flip-flop shows numerous glitches (noise) at the output due to unnecessary toggling at the intermediate nodes. Preset-able modified TSPC (MTSPC) D flip flop have been proposed as an alternative solution to alleviate this problem. However, the MTSPC D flip-flop requires one extra PMOS to suspend toggling of the intermediate nodes. In this work, we designed a 7-bit preset-able gray code counter by using the proposed D flip-flop. This work involves UMC 180 nm CMOS technology for preset-able 7-bit gray code counter where we achieved 1 GHz maximum operation frequency with most significant bit (MSB) delay 0.96 ns, power consumption 244.2 μW (micro watt) and power delay product (PDP) 0.23 pJ (Pico joule) from 1.8 V power supply.

High Speed Area Efficient VLSI Architecture of Three Operand Binary Adder
Abstract:
Three-operand binary adder is the basic functional unit to perform the modular arithmetic in various cryptography and pseudorandom bit generator (PRBG) algorithms. Carry save adder (CS3A) is the widely used technique to perform the three-operand addition. However, the ripple-carry stage in the CS3A leads to a high propagation delay of O(n). Moreover, a parallel prefix two-operand adder such as Han-Carlson (HCA) can also be used for three-operand addition that significantly reduces the critical path delay at the cost of additional hardware. Hence, a new high-speed and area-efficient adder architecture is proposed using pre-compute bitwise addition followed by carry prefix computation logic to perform the three-operand binary addition that consumes substantially less area, low power and drastically reduces the adder delay to O(log2 n). The proposed architecture is implemented on the FPGA device for functional validation and also synthesized with the commercially available 32nm CMOS technology library. The post-synthesis results of the proposed adder reported 3.12, 5.31 and 9.28 times faster than the CS3A for 32-, 64- and 128- bit architecture respectively. Moreover, it has a lesser area, lower power dissipation and smaller delay than the HC3A adder. Also, the proposed adder achieves the lowest ADP and PDP than the existing three-operand adder techniques.

High-Speed Hybrid-Logic Full Adder Using High-Performance 10-T XOR–XNOR Cell
Abstract:
Hybrid logic style is widely used to implement full adder (FA) circuits. Performance of hybrid FA in terms of delay, power, and driving capability is largely dependent on the performance of XOR–XNOR circuit. In this article, a high speed, low-power 10-T XOR–XNOR circuit is proposed, which provides full swing outputs simultaneously with improved delay performance. The performance of the proposed circuit is measured by simulating it in cadence virtuoso environment using 90-nm CMOS technology. The proposed circuit reduces the power delay product (PDP) at least by 7.5% than that of the available XOR–XNOR modules. Four different designs of FAs are also proposed in this article utilizing the proposed XOR–XNOR circuit and available sum and carry modules. The proposed FAs provide 2%–28.13% improvement in terms of PDP than that of other architectures. To measure the driving capabilities, the proposed FAs are embedded in 2-, 4-, and 8-bit cascaded full adder (CFA) structures. Results show that two of the proposed FAs provide the best performance for a higher number of bits among all the FAs.

Hybrid Protection of Digital FIR Filters
Base Paper Abstract:
A digital finite impulse response (FIR) filter is a ubiquitous block in digital signal processing applications and its behavior is determined by its coefficients. To protect filter coefficients from an adversary, efficient obfuscation techniques have been proposed, either by hiding them behind decoys or replacing them by key bits. In this article, we initially introduce a query attack that can discover the secret key of such obfuscated FIR filters, which could not be broken by the existing prominent attacks. Then, we propose a first of its kind hybrid technique, including both hardware obfuscation and logic locking using a point function for the protection of parallel direct and transposed forms of digital FIR filters. Experimental results show that the hybrid protection technique can lead to FIR filters with higher security while maintaining the hardware complexity competitive or superior to those locked by prominent logic locking methods. It is also shown that the protected multiplier blocks and FIR filters are resilient to existing attacks. The results on different forms and realizations of FIR filters show that the parallel direct form FIR filter has a promising potential for a secure design.

Image Demosaicking using Super Resolution Techniques
Base Paper Abstract:
Limitations do exist on capturing the full color information in a scene, apart from the resolution of captured images. Therefore, mosaic images are the preferred format in digital cameras, where incomplete set of color information is acquired. In this paper, a super resolution demosaicking (SRD) approach is proposed to reconstruct an enhanced-resolution full-color image from the observed samples, robustly and without the need for a training process. The acquisition model assumes degraded observations using known blur and noise. The reconstruction approach iteratively estimates the unknown registration parameters and the demosaicking image simultaneously. Qualitative and quantitative experiments performed on synthetic observations reveal high performance images.

Implementation of a Multipath Fully Differential OTA in 0.18-μm CMOS Process
Base Paper Abstract:
This brief implements a highly efficient fully differential trans conductance amplifier, based on several input-to-output paths. Some traditional techniques, such as positive feedback, nonlinear tail current sources, and current mirror-based paths, are combined to increase the trans conductance, thus leading to larger dc gain and higher gain bandwidth (GBW) product. Two flipped voltage-follower (FVF) cells are employed as variable current sources to provide class-AB operation and adaptive biasing of all other drivers. The proposed structure includes several input-to-output paths that play the role of dynamic current boosters during the slewing phase, thus improving the slew rate (SR) performance. The circuit was fabricated in a TSMC 0.18-µm CMOS process with a silicon area of 54.5 × 30.1 µm. Experimental results show a GBW of 173.3 MHz, a dc gain of 72.7 dB, and an SR of 139.4 V/µs for a capacitive load of 2 × 5 pF. The proposed circuit consumes 619 µW of power, under a supply voltage of 1.8 V.

Instantaneous Power Consuming Level Shifter for Improving Power Conversion Efficiency of Buck Converter
Abstract:
An instantaneous power consuming level shifter is presented in this paper to increase the DC converter efficiency. The level shifter is used in a high-side power switch driver to remove the external capacitor which is used in bootstrap technique. The level shifter consumes power only during the transition period. A delay cell is used to turn the level shifter off to reduce the power consumption period. An output voltage detector is added to turn the level shifter off even before the delay time. An asynchronous discontinuous conduction mode buck converter is designed to verify the performance of the level shifter. Simulation results show that the power consumption of the proposed level shifter decreased by 66%, while the converter efficiency increased by the maximum of 9% compared to results obtained for a conventional level shifter. The converter is fabricated using the TSMC 0.18-µm BCD process and it operates within an input range of 2–5 V when the current varies from 400 µA to 18 mA and delivers an output voltage of 1.8 V.

LECTOR: A Technique for Leakage Reduction in CMOS Circuits
Abstract:
In CMOS circuits, the reduction of the threshold voltage due to voltage scaling leads to increase in sub threshold leakage current and hence static power dissipation. We propose a novel technique called LECTOR for designing CMOS gates which significantly cuts down the leakage current without increasing the dynamic power dissipation. In the proposed technique, we introduce two leakage control transistors (a p-type and a n-type) within the logic gate for which the gate terminal of each leakage control transistor (LCT) is controlled by the source of the other. In this arrangement, one of the LCTs is always “near its cutoff voltage” for any input combination. This increases the resistance of the path from to ground, leading to significant decrease in leakage currents. The gate-level net list of the given circuit is first converted into a static CMOS complex gate implementation and then LCTs are introduced to obtain a leakage-controlled circuit. The significant feature of LECTOR is that it works effectively in both active and idle states of the circuit, resulting in better leakage reduction compared to other techniques. Further, the proposed technique overcomes the limitations posed by other existing methods for leakage reduction. Experimental results indicate an average leakage reduction of 79.4% for MCNC’91 benchmark circuits.

Line Coding Techniques for Channel Equalization: Integrated Pulse-Width Modulation and Consecutive Digit Chopping
Abstract:
This paper presents two new line-coding schemes, integrated pulse width modulation (iPWM) and consecutive digit chopping (CDC) for equalizing lossy wire line channels with the aim of achieving energy efficient wire line communication. The proposed technology friendly encoding schemes are able to overcome the fundamental limitations imposed by Manchester or pulse-width modulation encoding on high-speed wire line transceivers. A highly digital encoder architecture is leveraged to implement the proposed iPWM and CDC encoding. Energy-efficient operation of the proposed encoding is demonstrated on a high-speed wire line transceiver that can operate from 10 to 18 Gb/s. Fabricated in a 65-nm CMOS process, the transceiver operates with supply voltages of 0.9 V, 1 V, and 1.1 V. With the help of the proposed iPWM encoding, the transceiver can equalize over 27-dB of channel loss while operating at 16 Gb/s with an efficiency of 4.37 pJ/bit.

Low Cost Online Convolution Checksum Checker
Abstract:
Managing random hardware faults requires the faults to be detected online, thus simplifying recovery. Algorithm-based fault tolerance has been proposed as a low-cost mechanism to check online the result of computations against random hardware failures. In this case, the checksum of the actual result is checked against a predicted checksum computed in parallel by a hardware checker. In this work, we target the design of such checkers for convolution engines that are currently the most critical building block in image processing and computer vision applications. The proposed convolution checksum checker, named ConvGuard, utilizes a newly introduced invariance condition of convolution to predict implicitly the output checksum using only the pixels at the border of the input image. In this way, ConvGuard reduces the power required for accumulating the input pixels without requiring large buffers to hold intermediate checksum results. The design of ConvGuard is generic and can be configured for different output sizes and strides. The experimental results show that ConvGuard utilizes only a small percentage of the area/power of an efficient convolution engine while being significantly smaller and more power efficient than a state-of-the-art checksum checker for various practical cases.

Low Power Variation Tolerant Nonvolatile Lookup Table Design
Emerging nonvolatile memories (NVMs), such as MRAM, PRAM, and RRAM, have been widely investigated to replace SRAM as the configuration bits in field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) for high security and instant power ON. However, the variations inherent in NVMs and advanced logic process bring reliability issue to FPGAs. This brief introduces a low-power variation-tolerant nonvolatile lookup table (nvLUT) circuit to overcome the reliability issue. Because of large ROFF/RON, 1T1R RRAM cell provides sufficient sense margin as a configuration bit and a reference resistor. A single-stage sense amplifier with voltage clamp is employed to reduce the power and area without impairing the reliability. Matched reference path is proposed to reduce the parasitic RC mismatch for reliable sensing. Evaluation shows that 22% reduction in delay, 38% reduction in power, and the tolerance of variations of 2.5× typical RON or ROFF in reliability are achieved for proposed nvLUT with six inputs.

Low-Complexity 2-D Digital FIR Filters Using Polyphase Decomposition and Farrow Structure
Abstract:
This paper proposes a novel realization technique for quadrantally symmetric 2-D finite impulse response filters with a guaranteed reduction in the hardware complexity. Here, the concept of Farrow structure-based interpolation filter design using the polyphase decomposition of the 1-D filter transfer function is effectively utilized in the 2-D domain. The proposed 2-D filter makes use of row-wise polyphase decomposition of the 2-D transfer function or frequency response, followed by the polynomial approximation of the individual polyphase coefficients resulting in Farrow structures corresponding to each row filter. The final coefficients are implemented by varying the delay values in all the Farrow structures, followed by the interpolation of the coefficients obtained from each delay value, which in turn forms the rows in the 2-D kernel. The major highlight of the proposed method is the highly reduced implementation complexity in terms of the number of multipliers and adders, with a low normalized root-mean-square error. Design examples of the circularly symmetric and fan-type filters have been considered to show the efficiency of the approach. The results show a drastic reduction in the implementation complexity of the 2-D filters of upto 20%, with significantly low normalized root-mean-square error lesser than 0.5%.

Abstract:
Cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is a well-known error detection code that is widely used in Ethernet, PCIe, and other transmission protocols. The existing FPGA-based implementation solutions encounter the problem of excessive resource utilization in high-performance scenarios. The padding zeros problem and the introduction of programmability further exacerbate this problem.

Low-Power and Fast Full Adder by Exploring New XOR and XNOR Gates
Abstract:
In this paper, novel circuits for XOR/XNOR and simultaneous XOR–XNOR functions are proposed. The proposed circuits are highly optimized in terms of the power consumption and delay, which are due to low output capacitance and low short-circuit power dissipation. We also propose six new hybrid 1-bit full-adder (FA) circuits based on the novel full-swing XOR–XNOR or XOR/XNOR gates.

Low-Power Approximate Unsigned Multipliers with Configurable Error Recovery
Abstract:
Approximate circuits have been considered for applications that can tolerate some loss of accuracy with improved performance and/or energy efficiency. Multipliers are key arithmetic circuits in many of these applications including digital signal processing (DSP). In this paper, a novel approximate multiplier with a low power consumption and a short critical path is proposed for high-performance DSP applications. This multiplier leverages a newly designed approximate adder that limits its carry propagation to the nearest neighbors for fast partial product accumulation. Different levels of accuracy can be achieved by using either OR gates or the proposed approximate adder in a configurable error recovery. The multipliers using these two error reduction strategies are referred to as approximate multiplier 1 (AM1) and approximate multiplier 2 (AM2), respectively. Both AM1 and AM2 have a low mean error distance, i.e., most of the errors are not significant in magnitude. Compared to a Wallace multiplier optimized for speed, an 8×8 AM1 with 4 MSBs (most significant bits) for error reduction and synthesized using a 28 nm CMOS process shows a 60% reduction in delay (when optimized for delay) and a 42% reduction in power dissipation (when optimized for area). In a 16×16 design, half of the least significant partial products are truncated for AM1 and AM2, which are thus denoted as TAM1 and TAM2, respectively. Compared with the Wallace multiplier, TAM1 and TAM2 save from 50% to 66% in power, when optimized for area. Compared to existing approximate multipliers, AM1, AM2, TAM1 and TAM2 show significant advantages in accuracy with a high performance. AM2 has a better accuracy compared to AM1 but with a longer delay and higher power consumption. Image processing applications including image sharpening and smoothing are considered to show the quality of the approximate multipliers in error-tolerant applications. By utilizing an appropriate error recovery, the proposed approximate multipliers achieve similar processing accuracy as traditional exact multipliers, but with significant improvements in power.

Low-Power Near-Threshold 10T SRAM Bit Cells With Enhanced Data-Independent Read Port Leakage for Array Augmentation in 32-nm CMOS
Abstract:
The conventional six-transistor static random access memory (SRAM) cell allows high density and fast differential sensing but suffers from half-select and read-disturb issues. Although the conventional eight-transistor SRAM cell solves the read-disturb issue, it still suffers from low array efficiency due to deterioration of read bit-line (RBL) swing and Ion/Ioff ratio with increase in the number of cells per column. Previous approaches to solve these issues have been afflicted by low performance, data dependent leakage, large area, and high energy per access. Therefore, in this paper, we present three iterations of SRAM bit cells with nMOS-only based read ports aimed to greatly reduce data dependent read port leakage to enable 1k cells/RBL, improve read performance, and reduce area and power over conventional and 10T cell-based works. We compare the proposed work with other works by recording metrics from the simulation of a 128-kb SRAM constructed with divided-word line-decoding architecture and a 32-bit word size. Apart from large improvements observed over conventional cells, up to 100-mV improvement in read-access performance, up to 19.8% saving in energy per access, and up to 19.5% saving in the area are also observed over other 10T cells, thereby enlarging the design and application gamut for memory designers in low-power sensors and battery-enabled devices.

Many-Objective Sizing Optimization of a Class-C/D VCO for Ultralow-Power IoT and Ultralow Phase-Noise Cellular Applications
Abstract:
In this paper, the performance boundaries and corresponding tradeoffs of a complex dual-mode class-C/D voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) are extended using a framework for the automatic sizing of radio frequency integrated circuit blocks, where an all-inclusive test bench formulation enhanced with an additional measurement processing system enables the optimization of “everything at once” toward its true optimal tradeoffs. VCOs embedded in the state-of-the-art multi standard transceivers must comply with extremely high performance and ultralow power requirements for modern cellular and Internet of Things applications. However, the proper analysis of the design tradeoffs is tedious and impractical, as a large amount of conflicting performance figures obtained from multiple modes, test benches, and/or analysis must be considered simultaneously. Here, the dual-mode design and optimization conducted provided 287 design solutions with figures of merit above 192 dBc/Hz, where the power consumption varies from 0.134 to 1.333 mW, the phase noise at 10 MHz from −133.89 to −142.51 dBc/Hz, and the frequency pushing from 2 to 500 MHz/V, on the worst case of the tuning range. These results pushed this circuit design to its performance limits on a 65-nm CMOS technology, reducing 49% of the power consumption of the original design while also showing its potential for ultralow power with more than 93% reduction. In addition, worst case corner criteria were also performed on the top of the worst case tuning range optimization, taking the problem to a human-untrea table LXVI-D performance space.

Multiloop Control for Fast Transient DC–DC Converter
Abstract:
A novel ac coupled feedback (ACCF) is proposed to alternatively realize fast transient response while inherently controlling the start-up in-rush current of a dc–dc switching converter. The proposed ACCF is modified from a conventional capacitor multiplier and connected between the outputs of the converter and the transconductance. With this supplemental feedback, the transient response has been significantly improved due to the gain-boosting effect around the compensator’s midband. Moreover, the ACCF circuit assists to manage the ramping speed of the output voltage during power-up, thereby eliminating the bulky soft-start circuit. The new controller is very simple to implement and occupies a tiny footprint on-chip. A buck converter with the proposed scheme has been fabricated using the 0.18-µm standard CMOS process with an active silicon area of 0.573 mm2. Measurement results show that the output voltage rises linearly for a soft-start period of 1.05 ms according to the designed slope. Excellent load transient responses are achieved under different load current steps; the output voltage overshoot/undershoot of 60 mV settles down within 10 µs for a load variation from 50 µA to 1 A in 1 µs. Moreover, the proposed converter maintains both excellent load and line regulations of 0.018 mV/mA and 0.0056 mV/mV, respectively.

One-Sided Schmitt-Trigger-Based 9T SRAM Cell for Near-Threshold Operation
Abstract:
This paper presents a one-sided Schmitt-trigger based 9T static random access memory cell with low energy consumption and high read stability, write ability, and hold stability yields in a bit-interleaving structure without write-back scheme. The proposed Schmitt-trigger-based 9T static random access memory cell obtains a high read stability yield by using a one-sided Schmitt-trigger inverter with a single bit-line structure. In addition, the write ability yield is improved by applying selective power gating and a Schmitt-trigger inverter write assist technique that controls the trip voltage of the Schmitt-trigger inverter. The proposed Schmitt-trigger-based 9T static random access memory cell has 0.79, 0.77, and 0.79 times the area, and consumes 0.31, 0.68, and 0.90 times the energy of Chang’s 10T, the Schmitt-trigger-based 10T, and MH’s 9T static random access memory cells, respectively, based on 22-nm Fin FET technology.

Optimizing Ternary Multiplier Design with Fast Ternary Adder
Base Paper Abstract:
Existing ternary multiplier designs are difficult to use in ternary systems. Thus, ternary Wallace tree multipliers that reduce the number of transistors by using 4-input ternary adders are proposed to improve the performance of existing ternary multipliers. A ternary carry-select adder is also proposed to reduce the carry propagation delay, used as a carry-chain adder of the Wallace tree. The proposed multipliers are designed with a custom ternary standard cell library synthesized by multi-threshold complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) with a 28 nm process.

Power Efficient Approximate Divider Architecture for Error Resilient Applications
Base Paper Abstract:
Approximate computing is an emerging paradigm in error-tolerant applications that leads to power-efficient designs without significant loss in quality. The divider in these applications have complex hardware and more latency among the computational blocks resulting in power consumption. Hence approximating the division module would lead to designs with vastly improved power efficiency. A new approximate subtractor (AxSUB) is proposed in this paper with the intent to reduce the hardware complexity while achieving accuracy within permissible limits. The proposed AxSUB and existing approximate subtractor units are used in the restoring array division (RAD) architecture to prove the efficacy of the AxSUB. Comprehensive error and synthesis analysis are performed on RAD architectures implemented using AxSUB, and existing methods. Our proposed design achieved a 21% decrease in area and a 28% decrease in power consumption compared to the exact design. The proposed and existing RAD architectures is implemented on change detection applications to validate the quality-effort tradeoff.

Power Efficient Tiny Yolo CNN Using Reduced Hardware Resources Based on Booth Multiplier and WALLACE Tree Adders
Base Paper Abstract:
Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) has attained high accuracy and it has been widely employed in image recognition tasks. In recent times, deep learning-based modern applications are evolving and it poses a challenge in research and development of hardware implementation. Therefore, hardware optimization for efficient accelerator design of CNN remains a challenging task.

Probability-Driven Evaluation of Lower-Part Approximation Adders
Abstract:
Parallel prefix adder topologies suffer from carry chains forming critical paths, limiting the performance and therefore the efficiency. We study approximation methods that offload the lower-part of calculation to an approximate unit and shorten the carry chain. We derive their accuracy models using probability theory. These models can replace Monte Carlo simulations. Furthermore, they can reveal better accuracy trade-offs without going through the RTL design, synthesis, and simulation of each unit and approximation level individually. Thus, they can eliminate the required design and simulation time and effort. After analyzing area-wise comparisons at varying number of approximated bits, we show that choosing a design that outperforms the others probabilistically also outperforms them in terms of accuracy, power, and performance trade-offs.

Radiation-Hardened 0.3–0.9-V Voltage-Scalable 14T SRAM and Peripheral Circuit in 28-nm Technology for Space Applications
Abstract:
Conventional radiation-hardened cells of static random access memory (SRAM) are not robust enough in 28 nm technology, due to partial immunity of single-event upset (SEU) effect (Quatrobased cells) or insufficient critical charges in sensitive nodes (conventional stacked cells). The reduction of read noise margin (RNM) at the low supply voltage (VDD) confines these cells from low VDD applications. We propose a novel interleaving stacked-14T (ILS-14T) cell which prevents voltage transient from propagating to other redundancies. The ILS-14T cell can be resilient to both 0–1 and 1–0 upsets by injecting 12 mA in sensitive nodes. The critical charges of the ILS-14T cell are substantially larger than most other hardened cells at VDD from 0.3 to 0.9 V. The RNM of the ILS-14T cell is two times of most Quatro-based cells at 0.3 V VDD and larger than most cells at 0.6 and 0.9 V VDD. The area of occupation is 334% of the conventional 6T cell, which equals other 14T cells. The static–dynamic decoder array with 20%–40% area penalty and 116%–132% delay of rising edge, when compared with the conventional one, reduces the read failure rate by preventing single event transients (SETs) from propagating to unexpected word lines (WLs).

Abstract:
In this paper, a novel radiation-hardened 14-transistor SRAM bit cell with speed and power optimized [radiation-hardened with speed and power optimized (RSP)-14T] for space application is proposed. By circuit- and layout-level optimization design in a 65-nm CMOS technology, the 3-D TCAD mixed-mode simulation results show that the novel structure is provided with increased resilience to single-event upset as well as single-event–multiple-node upsets due to the charge sharing among OFF-transistors. Moreover, the HSPICE simulation results show that the write speed and power consumption of the proposed RSP-14T are improved by ∼65% and ∼50%, respectively, compared with those of the radiation hardened design (RHD)-12T memory cell.

RandShift: An Energy-Efficient Fault Tolerant Method in Secure Nonvolatile Main Memory
Abstract:
In this article, we present a simple, yet energy- and area-efficient method for tolerating the stuck-at faults caused by an endurance issue in secure-resistive main memories. In the proposed method, by employing the random characteristics of the encrypted data encoded by the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) as well as a rotational shift operation, a large number of memory locations with stuck-at faults could be employed for correctly storing the data. Due to the simple hardware implementation of the proposed method, its energy consumption is considerably smaller than that of other recently proposed methods. The technique may be employed along with other error correction methods, including the error correction code (ECC) and the error correction pointer (ECP). To assess the efficacy of the proposed method, it is implemented in a phase-change memory (PCM)- based main memory system and compared with three error tolerating methods. The results reveal that for a stuck-at fault occurrence rate of 10−2 and with the uncorrected bit error rate of 2 × 10−3, the proposed method achieves 82% energy reduction compared to the state-of-the-art method. More generally, using a simulation analysis technique, we show that the fault coverage of the proposed method is similar to that of the state-of-the-art method.

ReAdapt: A Reconfigurable Datapath for Runtime Energy-Quality Scalable Adaptive Filters
Base Paper Abstract:
This paper proposes ReAdapt–a reconfigurable datapath architecture for scaling the energy-quality trade-off of adaptive filtering at runtime. The ReAdapt can dynamically select four adaptive filtering algorithms for gradating complexity levels during runtime by reconfiguring the processing flow in its datapath and by blocking the switching activity (e.g., reducing the CMOS dynamic power) of unused modules with data-gating. The ReAdapt proposal can scale the energy-quality trade-off by choosing the following four different levels of filter algorithms complexity: 1) least mean square (LMS); 2) partial update normalized LMS (PU-NLMS); 3) set-membership normalized LMS (SM-NLMS); 4) normalized LMS (NLMS). The ReAdapt architecture reuses common modules of each adaptive filter, resulting in a compact VLSI hardware implementation. The ReAdapt architecture operation is implemented in a case-study for interference mitigation for electroencephalogram (EEG) signal processing. The hardware synthesis results show an increase of 6.80 times in throughput and at least a reduction of 2.84 times in energy per operation compared with the state-of-the-art adaptive filters. This paper also investigates the benefits of dynamically reconfiguring the four ReAdapt operating modes at runtime for different levels of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for the processed signals. We also demonstrate that dynamically reconfiguring the ReAdapt operating modes during runtime results in an optimal energy-quality trade-off which is advantageous over the conventional single static mode.

Reconfigurable Architecture for Real-time Decoding of Canonical Huffman Codes
Base Paper Abstract:
Data compression is an important algorithm which has found its use in modern day algorithms such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Reconfigurable platforms (like FPGAs) have strong capabilities to implement time complex tasks like CNNs, however, these algorithms present a big challenge due to high resource demand. Data compression is one of the most utilized techniques to reduce memory utilization in FPGAs. The weights of CNN architecture are usually encoded to store in FPGA. In this paper, we propose design of an efficient decoder based on Canonical Huffman that can be utilized for the efficient decompression of weights in CNN. The proposed design makes use of Hash functions to effectively decode the weights eliminating the need for searching dictionary. The proposed design decodes a single weight in a single clock cycle. Our proposed design has a maximum frequency of 408.97MHz utilizing 1% of system LUTs when tested for Aritix 7 platform.

Reconfigurable Digital Delta-Sigma Modulation Transmitter Architecture for Concurrent Multi-Band Transmission
Abstract:
This paper presents a reconfigurable delta-sigma modulation (DSM) architecture for concurrent multi-band transmission. The reconfigurability in terms of carrier spacing and the number of simultaneous carrier transmission is useful for applications such as carrier aggregation in 5G. This paper uses 4th order reconfigurable multi-band DSM (RMB-DSM) such that the zeros of the noise transfer function can be reconfigured to fall at multiple frequencies, where the carriers are being aggregated. The quantization noise between the transmission bands is a critical issue in the case of multi-band transmission. Therefore, a multi-band additional noise shaping (ANS) function is also introduced, which generates notches around each carrier and reduces the noise level between the multiple pass-bands. The proposed scheme has been validated in simulation, as well as in experiment for aggregating up to four 15 MHz long term evolution (LTE) signals with an overall aggregated bandwidth of 60 MHz. Measurement results show a 10-25% improvement in coding efficiency and 15-35 dB improvement in noise level near the operating frequency band using the proposed multiband augmented noise shaping technique, as compared to the standard DSM. The corresponding improvement of 8% in the overall efficiency is observed by using the proposed multi-band augmented noise shaping technique.

Recurrent Neural Networks With Column-Wise Matrix–Vector Multiplication on FPGAs
Abstract:
This article presents a reconfigurable accelerator for Recurrent Neural networks with fine-grained Column Wise matrix–vector multiplication (RENOWN). We propose a novel latency-hiding architecture for recurrent neural network (RNN) acceleration using column-wise matrix–vector multiplication (MVM) instead of the state-of-the-art row-wise operation. This hardware (HW) architecture can eliminate data dependencies to improve the throughput of RNN inference systems. Besides, we introduce a configurable checkerboard tiling strategy which allows large weight matrices, while incorporating various configurations of element-based parallelism (EP) and vector-based parallelism (VP). These optimizations improve the exploitation of parallelism to increase HW utilization and enhance system throughput. Evaluation results show that our design can achieve over 29.6 tera operations per second (TOPS) which would be among the highest for field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based RNN designs. Compared to state-of-the-art accelerators on FPGAs, our design achieves 3.7–14.8 times better performance and has the highest HW utilization.

Reliable CRC Based Error Detection Constructions for Finite Field Multipliers With Applications in Cryptography
Abstract:
Finite-field multiplication has received prominent attention in the literature with applications in cryptography and error-detecting codes. For many cryptographic algorithms, this arithmetic operation is a complex, costly, and time-consuming task that may require millions of gates. In this work, we propose efficient hardware architectures based on cyclic redundancy check (CRC) as error-detection schemes for postquantum cryptography (PQC) with case studies for the Luov cryptographic algorithm. Luov was submitted for the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) PQC standardization competition and was advanced to the second round. The CRC polynomials selected are in-line with the required error-detection capabilities and with the field sizes as well. We have developed verification codes through which software implementations of the proposed schemes are performed to verify the derivations of the formulations. Additionally, hardware implementations of the original multipliers with the proposed error-detection schemes are performed over a Xilinx field-programmable gate array (FPGA), verifying that the proposed schemes achieve high error coverage with acceptable overhead.

ReLOPE: Resistive RAM-Based Linear First-Order Partial Differential Equation Solver
Abstract:
Data movement between memory and processing units poses an energy barrier to Von-Neumann-based architectures. In-memory computing (IMC) eliminates this barrier. RRAM-based IMC has been explored for data-intensive applications, such as artificial neural networks and matrix-vector multiplications that are considered as “soft” tasks where performance is a more important factor than accuracy. In “hard” tasks such as partial differential equations (PDEs), accuracy is a determining factor. In this brief, we propose ReLOPE, a fully RRAM crossbar-based IMC to solve PDEs using the Runge–Kutta numerical method with 97% accuracy. ReLOPE expands the operating range of solution by exploiting shifters to shift input data and output data. ReLOPE range of operation and accuracy can be expanded by using fine-grained step sizes by programming other RRAMs on the BL. Compared to software-based PDE solvers, ReLOPE gains 31.4× energy reduction at only 3% accuracy loss.

Soft-Error-Aware Read-Stability-Enhanced Low-Power 12T SRAM With Multi-Node Upset Recoverability for Aerospace Applications
Abstract:
With the advancement of technology, the size of transistors and the distance between them are reducing rapidly. Therefore, the critical charge of sensitive nodes is reducing, making SRAM cells, used for aerospace applications, more vulnerable to soft-error. If a radiation particle strikes a sensitive node of the standard 6T SRAM cell, the stored data in the cell are flipped, causing a single-event upset (SEU). Therefore, in this paper, a Soft-Error-Aware Read-Stability-Enhanced Low Power 12T (SARP12T) SRAM cell is proposed to mitigate SEUs. To analyze the relative performance of SARP12T, it is compared with other recently published soft-error-aware SRAM cells, QUCCE12T, QUATRO12T, RHD12T, RHPD12T and RSP14T. All the sensitive nodes of SARP12T can regain their data even if the node values are flipped due to a radiation strike. Furthermore, SARP12T can recover from the effect of single event multi-node upsets (SEMNUs) induced at its storage node pair. Along with these advantages, the proposed cell exhibits the highest read stability, as the ‘0’-storing storage node, which is directly accessed by the bit line during read operation, can recover from any upset. Furthermore, SARP12T consumes the least hold power. SARP12T also exhibits higher write ability and shorter write delay than most of the comparison cells. All these improvements in the proposed cell are obtained by exhibiting only a slightly longer read delay and consuming slightly higher read and write energy.

Soft-Error-Aware SRAM with Multinode Upset Tolerance for Aerospace Applications
Base Paper Abstract:
As technology scales down, the critical charge (QC) of vulnerable nodes decreases, making SRAM cells more susceptible to soft errors in the aerospace industry. This article proposes a Soft-Error-Aware 16T (S8P8N) SRAM cell for aerospace applications to address this issue. The properties of S8P8N are evaluated and compared with 6T, DICE, QUCCE12T, WEQUATRO, RHBD10T, RHBD12T, S4P8N, SEA14T, and SRRD12T. Simulation results indicate that all vulnerable nodes and key node pairs of the proposed cell can recover to their original states when affected by a soft error. Additionally, it can recover from key multinode upsets. The write speed of the proposed cell is found to be reduced by 20.3%, 50.1%, 74.1%, 63.7%, and 50.41% compared to 6T, DICE, QUCCE12T, WEQUATRO, and RHBD10T, respectively. The read speed of the proposed cell is found to be reduced by 56.6%, 52.2%, 62.5%, and 35.2% compared to 6T, SRRD12T, RHBD12T, and S4P8N, respectively. It also shows that the hold power of the proposed cell is found to be reduced by 14.1%, 13.8%, 17.7%, and 23.4% compared to DICE, WEQUATRO, RHBD10T, and RHBD12T. Furthermore, the read static noise margin (RSNM) of the proposed cell is found to be enhanced by 157%, 67%, and 32% compared to RHBD12T, SEA14T, and SRRD12T. All these improvements are achieved with a slight area penalty.

Sparse FIR Filter Design via Partial 1-Norm Optimization
Abstract:
Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a form of cardiovascular measurement, for the diagnosis of different heart rate conditions. However, numerous noises usually harm the amplitude and time period of the signal from the ECG signal, at following a transition of the analog ECG signal from the sensor module into a digital format. The appropriate digital filter may be used to remove different forms of noise such as Baseline Wander, Power line interference, High frequency noise and Physiological Artifacts. The Digital FIR filter will have prospected to reduced the artifacts in the ECG signals. The signals taken from the MIT-BIH data base which contains the normal and abnormal waveforms. This Digital FIR filter can have more performance by using more TAP numbers such as multiplying, delaying and getting more effectiveness. This proposed work would implement a 1 norm minimization in the FIR filter with liner step method to minimize sparse complexity and reduce the mini-max approximation error for sparse maximization. Given these facts, several rules for selecting indicators of potential zero coefficients to be used in 1 standard optimization are adopted in the proposed algorithm. The efficacy of the proposed design algorithm was developed in Verilog HDL, simulated in Modelsim software and synthesized in Xilinx vertex 5 FPGA, and finally prove all the parameters in terms of area, delay and power.

Static Delay Variations Modules For Ripple-Carry and Borrow Save Adders
Abstract:
This paper introduces two statistical delay variability models for certain hardware adder implementations, namely, the ripple-carry adder (RCA) and the borrow-save adder (BSA). The introduced models take into account correlated variation sources. Initially, we derive a first proposed model, namely, Type-I model, in the form of expressions for the computation of the exact Probability Density Functions (PDFS) of maximum output delays for Gaussian and non-Gaussian variation sources. Furthermore, we present closed formulas for the co-variances between output delays of the aforementioned adder architectures. The introduced derived co-variances are subsequently combined with Clark’s method to derive a second proposed model, Type-II model, which comprises approximations of the maximum delay PDF for an RCA and a BSA. Simulation results and the derived exact Type-I PDFs are found to perfectly agree, while the proposed Clark-based Type-II models present an error for standard deviation of maximum delay that increases as BSA word length increases. Both the introduced models and the simulations prove that BSAs achieve narrower delay distributions than RCAs, i.e., they significantly reduce delay variance. Consequently, BSAs are proven to be suitable for variation-tolerant applications by providing a timing safety margin, when compared to RCA architectures. The underlying analysis indicates that for the case of BSA and either intra-die delay variations only or both intra and inter-die delay variations, the Type-II models introduce non negligible errors, which are as much as 16% of the standard deviation of maximum delay for a 256-digit BSA, as the Type II Gaussian PDF approximations deviate significantly from the exact Type-I PDFs. However, for all RCA and BSA inter-die only variation cases, both types present satisfactory accuracy due to the Gaussian shape of exact PDF.

The Mesochronous Dual-Clock FIFO Buffer
Abstract:
To increase system composability and facilitate timing closure, fully synchronous clocking is replaced by more relaxed clocking schemes, such as mesochronous clocking. Under this regime, the modules at the two ends of a mesochronous interface receive the same clock signal, thus operating under the same clock frequency, but the edges of the arriving clock signals may exhibit an unknown phase relationship. In such cases, clock synchronization is needed when sending data across modules. In this brief, we present a novel mesochronous dual-clock first-input– first-output (FIFO) buffer that can handle both clock synchronization and temporary data storage, by synchronizing data implicitly through the explicit synchronization of only the flow-control signals. The proposed design can operate correctly even when the transmitter and the receiver are separated by a long link whose delay cannot fit within the target operating frequency. In such scenarios, the proposed mesochronous FIFO can be extended to support multicycle link delays in a modular manner and with minimal modifications to the baseline architecture. When compared with the other state-of-the-art dual-clock mesochronous FIFO designs, the new architecture is demonstrated to yield a substantially lower cost implementation.

TOSAM: An Energy-Efficient Truncation- and Rounding-Based Scalable Approximate Multiplier
Abstract:
A scalable approximate multiplier, called truncation- and rounding-based scalable approximate multiplier (TOSAM) is presented, which reduces the number of partial products by truncating each of the input operands based on their leading one-bit position. In the proposed design, multiplication is performed by shift, add, and small fixed-width multiplication operations resulting in large improvements in the energy consumption and area occupation compared to those of the exact multiplier. To improve the total accuracy, input operands of the multiplication part are rounded to the nearest odd number. Because input operands are truncated based on their leading one-bit positions, the accuracy becomes weakly dependent on the width of the input operands and the multiplier becomes scalable. Higher improvements in design parameters (e.g., area and energy consumption) can be achieved as the input operand widths increase. To evaluate the efficiency of the proposed approximate multiplier, its design parameters are compared with those of an exact multiplier and some other recently proposed approximate multipliers. Results reveal that the proposed approximate multiplier with a mean absolute relative error in the range of 11%–0.3% improves delay, area, and energy consumption up to 41%, 90%, and 98%, respectively, compared to those of the exact multiplier. It also outperforms other approximate multipliers in terms of speed, area, and energy consumption. The proposed approximate multiplier has an almost Gaussian error distribution with a near-zero mean value. We exploit it in the structure of a JPEG encoder, sharpening, and classification applications. The results indicate that the quality degradation of the output is negligible. In addition, we suggest an accuracy configurable TOSAM where the energy consumption of the multiplication operation can be adjusted based on the minimum required accuracy.

Multiple Constant Multiplication (MCM) over integers is a frequent operation arising in embedded systems that require highly optimized hardware. An efficient way is to replace costly generic multiplication by bit-shifts and additions, i. e. a multiplier less circuit. In this work, we improve the state of-the-art optimal approach for MCM, based on Integer Linear Programming (ILP). We introduce a new low-level hardware cost metric, which counts the number of one-bit adders and demonstrate that it is strongly correlated with the LUT count. This new model permitted us to consider intermediate truncations that permit to significantly save resources when a full output precision is not required. We incorporate the error propagation rules into our ILP model to guarantee a user-given error bound on the MCM results. The proposed ILP models for multiple flavors of MCM are implemented as an open-source tool and, combined with an automatic code generator, provide a complete coefficient-to-VHDL flow. We evaluate our models in extensive experiments, and propose an in-depth analysis of the impact that design metrics have on synthesized hardware.

Towards Efficient Modular Adders based on Reversible Circuits
Abstract:
Reversible logic is a computing paradigm that has attracted significant attention in recent years due to its properties that lead to ultra-low power and reliable circuits. Reversible circuits are fundamental, for example, for quantum computing. Since addition is a fundamental operation, designing efficient adders is a cornerstone in the research of reversible circuits. Residue Number Systems (RNS) has been as a powerful tool to provide parallel and fault-tolerant implementations of computations where additions and multiplications are dominant. In this paper, for the first time in the literature, we propose the combination of RNS and reversible logic. The parallelism of RNS is leveraged to increase the performance of reversible computational circuits. Being the most fundamental part in any RNS, in this work we propose the implementation of modular adders, namely modulo 2n-1 adders, using reversible logic. Analysis and comparison with traditional logic show that modulo adders can be designed using reversible gates with minimum overhead in comparison to regular reversible adders.

Two Efficient Approximate Unsigned Multipliers by Developing New Configuration for Approximate 4:2 Compressors
Base Paper Abstract:
Approximate computing is a promising approach for reducing power consumption and design complexity in applications that accuracy is not a crucial factor. Approximate multipliers are commonly used in error-tolerant applications. This paper presents three approximate 4:2 compressors and two approximate multiplier designs, aiming at reducing the area and power consumption, while maintaining acceptable accuracy. The paper seeks to develop approximate compressors that align positive and negative approximations for input patterns that have the same probability. Additionally, the proposed compressors are utilized to construct approximate multipliers for different columns of partial products based on the input probabilities of the two compressors in adjacent columns. The proposed approximate multipliers are synthesized using the 28nm technology. Compared to the exact multiplier, the first proposed multiplier improves power × delay and area × power by 91% and 86%, respectively, while the second proposed multiplier improves the two parameters by 90% and 84%, respectively. The performance of the proposed approximate methods was assessed and compared with the existing methods for image multiplication, sharpening, smoothing and edge detection. Also, the performance of the proposed multipliers in the hardware implementation of the neural network was investigated, and the simulation results indicate that the proposed multipliers have appropriate accuracy in these applications.

Two-Stage OTA With All Subthreshold MOSFETs and Optimum GBW to DC-Current Ratio
Base Paper Abstract:
An approach for the design of two-stage class AB OTAs with sub-1µA current consumption is proposed and demonstrated. The approach employs MOS transistors operating in subthreshold and allows maximum gain-bandwidth product (GBW) to be achieved for a given DC current budget, by setting optimum distribution of DC currents in the two amplifier stages. Following this strategy, a class AB OTA was designed in a standard 0.5-µm CMOS technology supplied from 1.6-V and experimentally tested. Measured GBW was 307 kHz with 980-nA DC current consumption while driving an output capacitance of 40 pF with an average slew rate of 96 V/ms.

Ultra Lightweight Cryptography: Exploring the Application and Optimization of the PRESENT Cipher
Proposed Abstract:
The PRESENT cipher, an ultra-lightweight block cipher, has been designed specifically for environments where resource constraints are a critical factor, such as RFID tags, sensor networks, and various IoT devices. Its compact design, featuring a 64-bit block size, 80-bit key, and 31 rounds, makes it particularly suitable for applications requiring minimal hardware resources, low power consumption, and moderate security. Unlike more robust ciphers like AES, which demand significant computational and memory resources, PRESENT strikes an optimal balance between efficiency and security for constrained devices. This paper explores the practical applications of the PRESENT cipher in secure communication protocols, device authentication, and data encryption in low-power systems. By synthesizing 16-bit, 32-bit, and 64-bit implementations on a Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA, we demonstrate the cipher’s adaptability across a range of use cases, analyzing key performance metrics such as area, delay, and power consumption. Our findings indicate that PRESENT is highly effective in scenarios where traditional cryptographic solutions are too resource-intensive, offering a viable alternative for securing data in pervasive computing environments. PRESENT’s applications extend to securing communication in embedded systems, protecting sensitive information in contactless payment systems, and enabling secure data transmission in wireless sensor networks. The cipher’s lightweight design ensures that it can be implemented in devices with limited processing capabilities, making it an ideal choice for modern IoT applications. However, the trade-off between security and efficiency must be carefully considered. While PRESENT is suitable for applications with moderate security requirements, it may not provide the level of protection needed for high-security environments.

Variable-Precision Approximate Floating-Point Multiplier for Efficient Deep Learning Computation
Base Paper Abstract:
In this brief, a variable-precision approximate floating-point multiplier is proposed for energy efficient deep learning computation. The proposed architecture supports approximate multiplication with BFloat16 format. As the input and output activations of deep learning models usually follow normal distribution, inspired by the posit format, for numbers with different values, different precisions can be applied to represent them. In the proposed architecture, posit encoding is used to change the level of approximation, and the precision of the computation is controlled by the value of product exponent. For large exponent, smaller precision multiplication is applied to mantissa and for small exponent, higher precision computation is applied. Truncation is used as approximate method in the proposed design while the number of bit positions to be truncated is controlled by the values of the product exponent. The proposed design can achieve 19% area reduction and 42% power reduction compared to the normal BFloat16 multiplier. When applying the proposed multiplier in deep learning computation, almost the same accuracy as that of normal BFloat16 multiplier can be achieved.

Vital-Sign Processing Receiver With Clutter Elimination Using Servo Feedback Loop for UWB Pulse Radar System
Abstract:
This brief presents a vital-sign processing circuit for simultaneous dc/near-dc elimination and out-of-band interference rejection without any digital signal processing or algorithm assistance for the ultra wideband (UWB) pulse-based radar system. An intrinsic self balanced MOS diode (SBMD) was proposed as a stable and balanced pseudo resistor applied under a servo feedback loop in a vital-sign receiver of the sensing radar to perform as a high-pass filter (HPF) with an ultralow corner frequency lower than 0.5 Hz for removing undesired clutters of the reflected signals and input dc-offset voltages from innate circuit offsets. A third-order switched-capacitor (SC) Chebyshev low-pass filter (LPF) with leap-frog topology as the subsequent stage was adopted to suppress the out-band noises, thereby establishing an integrated vital-sign processing circuit with band pass frequency response and incorporating it into a radar module to verify its viability.

VLSI Design of SVM-Based Seizure Detection System With On-Chip Learning Capability
Abstract:
Portable automatic seizure detection system is very convenient for epilepsy patients to carry. In order to make the system on-chip trainable with high efficiency and attain high detection accuracy, this paper presents a very large scale integration (VLSI) design based on the nonlinear support vector machine (SVM). The proposed design mainly consists of a feature extraction (FE) module and an SVM module. The FE module performs the three level Daubechies discrete wavelet transform to fit the physiological bands of the electroencephalogram (EEG) signal and extracts the time–frequency domain features reflecting the non stationary signal properties. The SVM module integrates the modified sequential minimal optimization algorithm with the table-driven-based Gaussian kernel to enable efficient on-chip learning. The presented design is verified on an Altera Cyclone II field-programmable gate array and tested using the two publicly available EEG datasets. Experiment results show that the designed VLSI system improves the detection accuracy and training efficiency.

World’s Fastest FFT Architectures: Breaking the Barrier of 100 GS/s
Abstract:
This paper presents the fastest fast Fourier transform (FFT) hardware architectures so far. The architectures are based on a fully parallel implementation of the FFT algorithm. In order to obtain the highest throughput while keeping the resource utilization low, we base our design on making use of advanced shift-and-add techniques to implement the rotators and on selecting the most suitable FFT algorithms for these architectures. Apart from high throughput and resource efficiency, we also guarantee high accuracy in the proposed architectures. For the implementation, we have developed an automatic tool that generates the architectures as a function of the FFT size, input word length and accuracy of the rotations. We provide experimental results covering various FFT sizes, FFT algorithms, and field-programmable gate array boards. These results show that it is possible to break the barrier of 100 GS/s for FFT calculation.
