This paper presents a low-energy and low-voltage 64-kb 8T dual-port image memory in a 28-nm FD-SOI process technology. Our proposed SRAM adopts the selective sourceline drive (SSD) scheme and the consecutive data write technique for improving active energy efficiency at the low voltage. We fabricated a 64-Kb 8T dual-port SRAM in the 28-nm FD-SOI process technology; the test chip exhibits 0.48 V operation...
This paper describes an electrocardiograph (ECG) monitoring SoC using a non-volatile MCU (NVMCU) and a noise-tolerant instantaneous heartbeat detector. The novelty of this work is the combination of the non-volatile MCU for normally off computing and a noise-tolerant-QRS (heartbeat) detector to achieve both low-power and noise tolerance. To minimize the stand-by current of MCU, a non-volatile flip-flop...
This report describes a low power 6T-4C nonvolatile memory design using a bit-line non-precharge and plate-line charge-share techniques. Two proposed techniques contribute to decrease energy consumption. The bit-line non-precharge technique can reduce 73% of write energy consumption and 76% of read energy consumption. The plate-line charge-share technique can reduce 22% of store energy consumption...
This paper describes an electrocardiograph (ECG) monitoring SoC using a non-volatile MCU (NVMCU) and a noise tolerant instantaneous heart rate (IHR) monitor. The novelty of this work is the combination of the non-volatile MCU for normally-off computing and a noise-tolerant-QRS (heart beat) detection algorithm to achieve both low-power and noise tolerance. To minimize the stand-by current of MCU, a...
This report describes a high speed 6T-4C shadow memory design using a word line boosting and a plate line driver boosting. The proposed methods utilize a characteristic of ferroelectric capacitor. The word line and the plate line boosting method respectively reduce 21% write time and 33% plate line charging time.
Recently, the use of Sn-Pb eutectic solder has been prohibited by Restriction of the use of Hazardous Substances (RoHS), since Pb may have a bad influence on human and the environment. Instead, Tin-Silver-Copper (Sn-Ag-Cu) system is adopted as the lead free solder. However, the melting temperature of Sn-Ag-Cu is higher than that of Sn-Pb, which may induce damages in the circuit boards and packages...
Remote-component-based software systems (CBS) must provide high maintainability to support operation over long periods of time and correspond to changes in enterprise requirements/ environments. Measurements of the degree of complexity of a system are one technique for evaluating maintainability. However, conventional complexity metrics are unable to reflect the overall complexity of the system, because...
