A New Architecture For Single-Event Upset Detection & Reconfiguration Of Sram-Based Fpgas, Ihesiaba Kamanu Nov 2006

A New Architecture For Single-Event Upset Detection & Reconfiguration Of Sram-Based Fpgas, Ihesiaba Kamanu

Theses

Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) are used in a variety of applications, ranging from consumer electronics to devices in spacecrafts because of their flexibility in achieving requirements such as low cost, high performance, and fast turnaround. SRAM-based FPGAs can experience single bit flips in the configuration memory due to high-energy neutrons or alpha particles hitting critical nodes in the SRAM cells, by transferring enough energy to effect the change. High energy particles can be emitted by cosmic radiation or traces of radioactive elements in device packaging. The result of this could range from unwanted functional or data modification, data loss …

0.35um Implementation Of An Experimental Mixed Signal Image Compression Circuit, Reema Divatia Sep 2006

0.35um Implementation Of An Experimental Mixed Signal Image Compression Circuit, Reema Divatia

Theses

Switched-current is an analog, discrete in time, signal processing technique that is fully compatible with any digital CMOS technology. This means that analog circuits can be realized together with digital components on a single chip without any additional technological processes. In designs implemented using the switched-current technique, the individual circuit elements interact by the means of currents, which allows to reduce voltage swings and thus power consumption. This work investigated the implementation of a low power mixed signal image compression system in TSMC 0.35um technology. The major components of this system were two dimensional discrete cosine transform processor, analog to …
