Nick van der Meijs Dr. Christian A. Bachmann Committee member(s): Dr.ir. Gerard Janssen Dr.ir. Rene Van Leuken Dr. R.R. Venkatesha Prasad Abstract This thesis presents a digital baseband design for an upcoming wireless standards: IEEE 802.11ah. It is a branch of Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11) standards. Compared with the previous Wi-Fi standards, this new standard has larger coverage range and consumes less energy. It is particularly suited for energy-constrained sensor applications. In contrast to the Digital Baseband (DBB)s of other Wi-Fi standards, this design consumes much less power. The basic modulation method of the system is Orthogonal Frequency Divi- sion Multiplexing (OFDM) and the detailed algorithms are explored. To prove the robustness of the system, some error tests for the system are performed. A gate-level hardware design and the synthesis netlist are also presented to prove the low-power design. Based on the synthesis results, a series of optimization is done to lower the power consumption. The DBB has been implemented in 40nm Low-power CMOS process to prove the concept. It includes the key blocks of this system. Measurement results show that the DBB for IEEE 802.11ah is suitable for low power applications. The power consumption of this DBB is around 200 - 400 µW, which is hundreds times less than that of the traditional 802.11 baseband.

    PowerPlay Power Analysis 8 2013.11.04 QII53013 Subscribe Send Feedback The PowerPlay Power Analysis tools allow you to estimate device power consumption accurately. As designs grow larger and process technology continues to shrink, power becomes an increasingly important design consideration. When designing a PCB, you must estimate the power consumption of a device accurately to develop an appropriate power budget, and to design the power supplies, voltage regulators, heat sink, and cooling system. The following figure shows the PowerPlay Power Analysis tools ability to estimate power consumption from early design concept through design implementation. Figure 8-1: PowerPlay Power Analysis From Design Concept Through Design Implementation PowerPlay Early Power Estimator Quartus II PowerPlay Power Analyzer Higher Placement and Simulation Routing Results Results Accuracy Quartus II Design Profile User Input Estimation Design Concept Design Implementation Lower PowerPlay Power Analysis Input For the majority of the designs, the PowerPlay Power Analyzer and the PowerPlay EPE spreadsheet have the following accuracy after the power models are final: • PowerPlay Power Analyzer—±20% from silicon, assuming that the PowerPlay Power Analyzer uses the Value Change Dump File (.vcd) generated toggle rates. • PowerPlay EPE spreadsheet— ±20% from the PowerPlay Power Analyzer results using .vcd generated toggle rates. 90% of EPE designs (using .vcd generated toggle rates exported from PPPA) are within ±30% silicon. The toggle rates are derived using the PowerPlay Power Analyzer with a .vcd file generated from a gate level simulation representative of the system operation. © 2013 Altera Corporation.

Copyright, Kristoffer Carlsson, Göteborg 2005. 2 Design and implementation of an On-chip Logic Analyzer Abstract The design and implementation of an On-chip Logic Analyzer for Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) is described in this report. FPGA devices have grown larger and larger and can contain very complex System on Chip (SoC) designs in a package with lim- ited I/O resources. The On-chip Logic Analyzer IP core has been developed in VHDL dur- ing this Master’s thesis to be able to debug such designs running in target hardware. It enables the designer to trace arbitrary signals inside the FPGA fabric and to trig on com- plex events. Samples are stored in a circular trace buffer implemented with synchronous on-chip RAM. Trigger engine control and trace buffer readout is done over an AMBA APB interface. The Logic Analyzer IP core will become a part of Gaisler Research’s GRLIB IP library and integrated into their GRMON debug monitor software. The work can be divided into three main parts: hardware design of the IP core, developing a debug driver for GRMON and programming a GUI front end for easier configuration.

  • VLSI Design of Configurable Low-Power Coarse-Grained Array
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Repositório Aberto da Universidade do Porto FACULDADE DE ENGENHARIA DA UNIVERSIDADE DO PORTO VLSI design of configurable low-power Coarse-Grained Array Architectures Diogo Alexandre Ribeiro de Sousa Mestrado Integrado em Engenharia Eletrotécnica e de Computadores Advisor: Professor Doutor João Paulo de Castro Canas Ferreira July 13, 2017 c Diogo Sousa, 2017 Abstract Coarse Grained Reconfigurable Arrays have gained importance in the field of accelerators. Several types of architectures have been proposed in the literature mainly targeting applications in the multimedia field. This document aims to contribute to the application of CGRAs in different areas by targeting low-power architectures for biomedical signal processing. The objective is to design a low power architecture which may be placed in a small battery-operated portable device. To do so, a look is taken into the different types of power consumption in a chip giving special attention to static power consumption. To produce a chip EDA (Electronic Design Automation) tools are used. These tools impose a considerable time overhead which delays the project. The purpose of the design flow is to ease the process of taking a CGRA architecture to tape-out in addition to save a considerable amount of time spent dealing with the aforementioned tools. The proposed design flow is capable of transforming a HDL description of a CGRA in a physical design while applying low-power methodologies such as the insertion of power domains along with power-gating capabilities which will deal with the static power consumption previously mentioned.

Among these needs are the ability to work from a specification model, perform architectural explorations, and refine the models to come up with a final model that may be synthesized into hardware and custom software components. The SpecC language in particular was designed with these goals in mind. Prior to the work described here, the SpecC design environment consisted of a compiler, simulator, and EDA tools for exploring architectures and refining of models. Tools for debug and analysis of simulations were not widely available. We describe the design and implementation of new software APIs for debugging and new capabilities within the simulator for producing simulation logs, which can be used as debugging tools and for performing system architecture analysis. This work paves the way for more sophisticated analysis tools that hold the promise of providing designers with better feedback for performing system architecture explorations.
