ABSTRACT
Crosstalk noise is often induced in long interconnects running parallel to each other. There is a need to minimize the effect of these crosstalk noise so as to maintain the signal integrity in interconnects. In this paper crosstalk noise is minimized using various techniques such as repeater (bidirectional buffer) insertion along with shielding, skewing and shielding & skewing simultaneously. With the help of these techniques crosstalk noise is controlled to a great extent in long interconnects. Pre-layout and Post-layout simulations for crosstalk are carried out for these techniques at 180nm technology node using Cadence EDA tools. The influences of these techniques are analyzed and it is found that crosstalk is reduced up to 32 % with repeater insertion, 47% with skewing, 58% with shielding and 81% with skewing & shielding simultaneously.

# Centre for Development of Advanced Computing, Mohali, India
ABSTRACT
This paper enumerates new architecture of low power dual-edge triggered Flip-Flop (DETFF) designed at 180nm CMOS technology. In DETFF same data throughput can be achieved with half of the clock frequency as compared to single edge triggered Flip-Flop (SETFF). In this paper conventional and proposed DETFF are presented and compared at same simulation conditions. The post layout experimental results comparison shows that the average power dissipation is improved by 48.17%, 41.29% and 36.84% when compared with SCDFF, DEPFF and SEDNIFF respectively and improvement in PDP is 42.44%, 33.88% and 24.69% as compared to SCDFF, DEPFF and SEDNIFF respectively. Therefore the proposed DETFF design is suitable for low power and small area applications.

HARDWARE EFFICIENT SCALING FREE VECTORING AND ROTATIONAL CORDIC FOR DSP APPLICATIONS

Anita Jain1 and Kavita Khare2
Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, MANIT, Bhopal, India

ABSTRACT
The COordinate Rotation DIgital Computer CORDIC algorithm has proved its versatility in computing various transcendental functions by only using the shift and adds operations. This paper presents a new hardware efficient scaling free CORDIC algorithm to operate in vectoring and in rotation mode. The micro rotation of the vector is always in one direction with no scale factor correction. The Range of Convergence RoC is from 0 to 2Ï€. No pre and post processing circuitry is required. 16 bit Scaling free CORDIC Pipelined architecture based on the proposed algorithm is synthesized on FPGA Xilinx VirtexII P device coded in Verilog. Synthesized results show totally scaling free performance with very small dynamic power consumption of .06 mW and maximum delay of 4.123 ns and 9.925 ns in the rotational and vectoring modes respectively. The minimum BEP of the proposed algorithm implementation is 12. Proposed algorithm is faster and efficient in terms of area and accuracy as compared to conventional CORDIC.

KEYWORDS

SMART MULTICROSSBAR ROUTER DESIGN IN NOC

ABSTRACT

This paper gives the innovative idea of designing a router using multicrossbar switch in Network on Chip(NoC) . In Network-on-Chip architectures the input buffer can consume a large portion of the total power. Eliminating all input buffer would result in increased power consumption at high load, while reducing the size of input buffer degrades the performance. In this paper we have proposed a muticrossbar router design using elastic buffer by combining the advantage of both buffered and buffer less network. In the proposed design Power Delay Product is reduced by around 37 .91% as compared to baseline router.

ABSTRACT

An improved analytical two dimensional (2-D) model for AlGaN/GaN modulation doped field effect transistor (MODFET) has been developed. The model is based on the solution of 2-D Poisson’s equation. The model includes the spontaneous and piezoelectric polarization effects. The effects of field dependent mobility, velocity saturation and parasitic resistances are included in the current voltage characteristics of the developed two dimensional electron gas (2-DEG) model. The small-signal microwave parameters have been evaluated to determine the output characteristics, device transconductance and cut-off frequency for 50 nm gate length. The peak transconductance of 165mS/mm and a cut-off frequency of 120 GHz have been obtained. The results so obtained are in close agreement with experimental data, thereby proving the validity of the model.
