Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology, Bhopal

ABSTRACT

Video Compression is very essential to meet the technological demands such as low power, less memory and fast transfer rate for different range of devices and for various multimedia applications. Video compression is primarily achieved by Motion Estimation (ME) process in any video encoder which contributes to significant compression gain.Sum of Absolute Difference (SAD) is used as distortion metric in ME process.In this paper, efficient Absolute Difference(AD)circuit is proposed which uses Brent Kung Adder(BKA) and a comparator based on modified 1’s complement principle and conditional sum adder scheme. Results shows that proposed architecture reduces delay by 15% and number of slice LUTs by 42% as compared to conventional architecture. Simulation and synthesis are done on Xilinx ISE 14.2 using Virtex 7 FPGA.

KEYWORDS

HEVC, motion estimation, sum of absolute difference, parallel prefix adders, Brent Kung Adder.

2Assistant professor, EC Department, Kerala technical university, India

ABSTRACT

In this paper, propose an approximate multiplier that is high speed yet energy efficient. The approach is to around the operands to the closest exponent of 2. This way the machine intensive a part of the multiplication is omitted up speed and energy consumption. The potency of the planned multiplier factor is evaluated by comparing its performance with those of some approximate and correct multipliers using different design parameters. In this proposed approach combined the conventional RoBA multiplier with Kogge-stone parallel prefix adder. The results revealed that, in most (all) cases, the newly designed RoBA multiplier architectures outperformed the corresponding approximate (exact) multipliers. Thus improved the parameters of RoBA multiplier which can be used in the voice or image smoothing applications in the DSP.

KEYWORDS

1Research Scholar, Electronics Dept., D.K.T.E. Society's Textile and Engineering Institute, Ichalkaranji, Maharashtra, India. 2Professor, Electronics Dept ., D.K.T.E. Society's Textile and Engineering Institute, Ichalkaranji, Maharashtra, India.

ABSTRACT

Advanced Extensible Interface (AXI) is the most commonly used bus protocols in the day-to-day because of its high performance and high-frequency operation without using complex bridges. AXI is also backwardcompatible with existing AHB and APB interfaces. So verification of driver logic using AMBA-AXI UVM is presented in this paper. The AXI is used for multiple outstanding operations which is only possible in the other protocol but it is possible in AXI because it contains different write address and data channels and AXI also supports out of order transfer based on the transaction ID which is generated at the start of the transfer. The driver logic for the AXI has been designed and implemented using the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM).The signaling of the five channels such as write address, write data, write response, read address, read data channel of AXI protocol are considered for verification. According to the AXI protocol,the signals of these channels are driven to the interconnect and results are observed for single master and single slave. The driver logic has been implemented and verified successfully according to AXI protocol using the Rivera Pro. The results observed for single master and single slave have shown the correctness of AMBA-AXI design in Verilog.

Research scholar Department of Electronics Engineering,

Yeshwantrao Chavan college of Engg, Nagpur, India

ABSTRACT

In VLSI technology, designers main concentration were on area required and on performance of the device. In VLSI design power consumption is one of the major concerns due to continuous increase in chip density and decline in size of CMOS circuits and frequency at which circuits are operating. By considering these parameter logical circuits are designed using quaternary voltage mode logic and quaternary current mode logic. Power consumption required for quaternary voltage mode logic is 51.78 % less as compared to binary . Area in terms of number of transistor required for quaternary voltage mode logic is 3 times more as compared to binary. As quaternary voltage mode circuit required large area as compared to quaternary current mode circuit but power consumption required in quaternary voltage mode circuit is less than that required in quaternary current mode circuit.

ABSTRACT

New implementations within concurrent processing using three-dimensional lattice networks via nano carbon-based field emission controlled-switching is introduced in this article. The introduced nano-based three-dimensional networks utilize recent findings in nano-apex field emission to implement the concurrent functionality of lattice networks. The concurrent implementation of ternary Galois functions using nano threedimensional lattice networks is performed by using carbon field-emission switching devices via nano-apex carbon fibers and nanotubes. The presented work in this part of the article presents important basic background and fundamentals with regards to lattice computing and carbon field-emission that will be utilized within the follow-up works in the second and third parts of the article. The introduced nano-based three-dimensional lattice implementations form new and important directions within three-dimensional design in nanotechnologies that require optimal specifications of high regularity, predictable timing, high testability, fault localization, self-repair, minimum size, and minimum power consumption.

An Ultra-Low Power Robust Koggestone Adder at Sub-Threshold Voltages for Implantable Bio-Medical Devices

Sruthi Nanduru, Santosh Koppa and Eugene John

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

University of Texas at San Antonio, Texas, USA

ABSTRACT

The growing demand for energy constrained applications and portable devices have created a dire need for ultra-low power circuits. Implantable biomedical devices such as pacemakers need ultra-low power circuits for a better battery life for uninterrupted biomedical data processing. Circuits operating in subthreshold region minimize the energy per operation, thus providing a better platform for energy constrained implantable biomedical devices. This paper presents 8, 16 and 32-bit ultra-low power robust Kogge-Stone adders with improved performance. These adders operate at subthreshold supply voltages which can be used for low power implantable bio-medical devices such as pacemakers. To improve the performance of these adders in sub-threshold region, forward body bias technique and multi-threshold transistors are used. The adders are designed using NCSU 45nm bulk CMOS process library and the simulations were performed using HSPICE circuit simulator. Quantitative power-performance analysis is performed at slow-slow (SS), typical-typical (TT) and fast-fast (FF) corners clocked at 50 KHz for temperature ranging from 25̊C to 120̊C. For a supply voltage 0.3V, all the adders had the least PDP. Using 0.3V as the supply voltage, multi threshold voltage and forward body biasing techniques were applied to

further improve the performance of the adders. The PDP obtained using the forward body biasing technique shows an effective improvement compared to high threshold voltage and multi threshold voltage techniques. The forward biasing technique maintains a balance between delay reduction and increase in average power, thus reducing the power delay product when compared to the other two techniques.

Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering,

Dr.M.G. R Educational and Research Institute, Chennai, India

ABSTRACT

CMOS technology is the key element in the development of VLSI systems since it consumes less power. Power optimization has become an overridden concern in deep submicron CMOS technologies. Due to shrink in the size of device, reduction in power consumption and over all power management on the chip are the key challenges. For many designs power optimization is important in order to reduce package cost and to extend battery life. In power optimization leakage also plays a very important role because it has significant fraction in the total power dissipation of VLSI circuits. This paper aims to elaborate the developments and advancements in the area of power optimization of CMOS circuits in deep submicron region. This survey will be useful for the designer for selecting a suitable technique depending upon the requirement.

KEYWORDS

1Department of ECE, Panimalar Engineering College, Chennai
2Dr.MGR Educational and Research Institute University, Chennai

ABSTRACT

Providing a constant and perpetual energy source is a key design challenge for implantable medical devices. Harvesting energy from the human body and the surrounding is one of the possible solutions. Delivering energy from outside the body through different wireless media is another feasible solution. In this paper, we review different state-of-the-art methods that process “in-body” energy harvesting as well as “out-of-body" wireless power delivery. Details of the energy sources, transmission media, energy harvesting, coupling techniques and the required energy transducers will also be discussed. The merits and disadvantages of each approach will be presented. Different types of mechanisms have very different characteristics on their output voltage, amount of harvested power and power transfer efficiency. Therefore different types of power conditioning circuits are required. Issues of designing the building blocks for the power conditioning circuits for different energy harvesting or coupling mechanisms will be compared.

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF LOW POWER CARRY SAVE ADDER FOR VLSI APPLICATIONS

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF LOW POWER CARRY SAVE ADDER FOR VLSI APPLICATIONS
Divya Tripathi and Subodh Wairya
Department of Electronics Engineering, Institute of Engineering & Technology, Lucknow

ABSTRACT

This report examines the subject of sub threshold leakage on carry save adder. When the gate to source voltage reduces to the threshold voltage at that place is yet some amount of current flow in the circuit and that is undesired. As the process technology advancing much rapidly the threshold voltage of MOS devices reduces very drastically, and it must be applied in lower power devices since it contributes to low amount of leakage current which confine increases the power consumption of the devices. Adders are the basic building blocks for any digital circuit design and used in almost all arithmetic’s. The CSA proves efficient adders due to its quick and precise computations. Hence this paper performs sub threshold analysis on CSA and the scrutinize results that the total average power is around 4.93µW, the propagation delay for complete operation is 16.3ns and since this design uses GDI cell so there is a reduction in area with 37%.
