In this paper, we present a performance analysis for an MPEG-4 video codec based on the on-chip network communication architecture. The existing on-chip buses of system-on-a-chip (SoC) have some limitation on data traffic bandwidth since a large number of silicon IPs share the bus. An on-chip network is introduced to solve the problem of on-chip buses, in which the concept of a computer network is applied to the communication architecture of SoC. We compared the performance of the MPEG-4 video codec based on the on-chip network and Advanced Micro-controller Bus Architecture (AMBA) on-chip bus. Experimental results show that the performance of the MPEG-4 video codec based on the on-chip network is improved over 50% compared to the design based on a multi-layer AMBA bus.

The study on the chip waveform design to minimize multiple-access interference (MAI) and its performance evaluation are very important since chip waveform decides the signal quality and system capacity of the direct-sequence CDMA wireless communication system. This paper suggests the analytical chip waveform to minimize the MAI. The BER and throughput performances achieved by the proposed analytical optimum chip waveform are compared with those of the conventional chip waveforms in the Nakagami-m distribution frequency selective channel when the differential phase shift keying (DPSK) is employed in DS-CDMA system. From the numerical results, capacity and throughput are improved about 2 times and 1.4 times respectively when it is compared with the Kaiser chip waveform that is considered as one of the best in the conventional ones.

DAM(Delay-And-Multiplier) intercept receiver usually detects the symbol rate of the transmitted DS spread spectrum signal for the feature extraction. It is important for secure communication to reduce the normalized output signal-to-noise ratio that is generated at the DAM intercept receiver as a measure of detectability. In this paper, several kinds of chip waveforms are novelly analyzed for LPI(Low-Probability of Intercept) communication against DAM intercept receiver. Consequently, it is shown that the rectangular chip waveform shows the best LPI performance in the bandwidth of 2/$T_c$TEX>, 4/$T_c$TEX>, and 6/$T_c$TEX>/. Except the rectangular waveform, kaiser chip waveform show better LPI performance than the other waveforms in the bandwidth of 4/$T_c$TEX> and 6/$T_c$TEX>.

고집적 SoC 설계시에 버스방식의 온칩 통신은 대역폭이 제한되는 문제점이 있고 NoC (Network-on-Chip) 방식에서는 구현의 복잡도가 증가하는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 극복하는 새로운 온칩 통신 규격인 SNP(Soc Network Protocol)를 소개한다. SNP는 기존 버스의 신호선들을 세 가지 그룹인 제어(control), 주소(address), 데이타(data)로 나눈 뒤 하나의 채널을 통해 전송함으로써 신호선의 수를 줄인다. SNP 채널은 대칭구조로 사용되기 때문에 마스터-슬레이브 통신 방식뿐만 아니라 마스터-마스터 통신도 효율적으로 지원한다. 하나의 전송에 필요한 신호 그룹의 진행 규칙을 SNP 규격으로 정의하고, 동일한 정보가 반복적으로 전달되는 것을 방지하는 페이즈 복원 기능을 제안하여 통신대역을 효율적으로 사용할 수 있도록 한다. 산업계 표준 규격인 AMBA AHB와 비교한 결과 멀티미디어 타입의 데이타 전송시에 $54\%$의 신호선수만으로도 대등한 대역폭을 지원할 수 있음을 보인다.

The voltage-frequency island (VFI) design paradigm has strong potential for achieving high energy efficiency in communication centric manycore system-on-chip (SoC) design called network-on-chip (NoC). However, because of the diminished scaling of wire-dimension and supply voltage as well as threshold voltage in modern CMOS technology, the vulnerability to link failure in VFI NoC is becoming a crucial challenge. In this paper, we propose an energy-optimized topology generation technique for VFI NoC to cope with permanent link failures. Based on the energy consumption model, we exploit the on-chip communication traffic patterns and characteristics of link failures in the early design stage to accommodate diverse applications and architectures. Experimental results using a number of multimedia application benchmarks show the effectiveness of the proposed three-step custom topology generation method in terms of energy consumption and latency without any degradation in the fault coverage metric.

The capacity improvement in the DS-CDMA system can be obtained by allowing spectrum-overlap between adjacent channels. In this paper, an analysis for capacity improvement is newly considered according to the various chip waveforms in the partial spectrum-overlapped DS-CDMA system. Optimum-overlapping ratio is numerically found to obtain maximum capacity improvement for each chip waveform. Assuming the bandwidth containing 95% of the total power, i.e., 95% power bandwidth, rectangular chip waveform has the largest capacity improvement in the considered chip waveforms and then the amount of improvement is 136.5% at overlapping ratio 1.5 for BER = $10^{-3}$TEX> . Furthermore, as the required BER becomes lower, the capacity improvement gets smaller for a1l of chip waveforms. For the unequal power channels, it is shown that the larger capacity improvement is achieved as the power of desired channel becomes larger than that of adjacent channels. And the capacity improvement can be obtained even though the desired channel power is lower than the adjacent channel power.

In this paper, interface circuits that are suitable for point-to-point interconnection with an over 1 Gbps data rate per pin are proposed. To achieve a successful data transfer rate of multi-gigabits per-second between two chips with a point-to-point interconnection, the input receiver uses an on-chip parallel terminator of the pass gate style, while the output driver uses the pullup and pulldown transistors of the diode-connected style. In addition, the novel dynamic voltage level converter (DVLC) has solved such problems as the access time increase and valid data window reduction. These schemes were adopted on a 64 Mb DDR SRAM with a 1.5 Gbps data rate per pin and fabricated using a 0.10 ${\mu}m$ dual gate oxide CMOS technology.
