Many systematic methods exist for mapping algorithms to processor arrays. The algorithm is usually specified as a set of recurrence equations, and the processor arrays are synthesized by finding timing and allocation functions which transform index points in the recurrences into points in a space-time domain. The problem of scheduling...
Present day data processing technology requires very high speed signal processing and data conversion rates. One such application which requires high speed is switched capacitor circuits used in Sigma-Delta modulators. A major active component of switched capacitor circuits is the monolithic operational amplifier(opamp). Because of the relatively poor speed performance...
Modular multiplication is a mathematical operation fundamental to the RSA cryptosystern,
a public-key cryptosystem with many applications in privacy, security, and authenticity.
However, cryptosecurity requires that the numbers involved be extremely large,
typically ranging from 512-1024 bits in length. Calculations on numbers of this magnitude
are cumbersome and lengthy; this...
Delta-sigma modulators are currently a very popular technique for making high-resolution
analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters. These oversampled data
converters have several advantages over conventional Nyquist-rate converters, including
an insensitivity to many analog component imperfections, a simpler antialiasing filter and
reduced accuracy requirements in the sample and hold. Though the initial...
The objective of this thesis is to design a high speed digital FIR filter. The inputs of the
system come from a Delta-Sigma modulator. This FIR filter takes 1024 inputs,
multiplies them with their coefficients and adds the results. The main design task is to
take the input data, which...
A Graphic User Interface is developed to determine the existence of a
particular sequence of piano notes within a monophonic sound waveform.
Such waveforms are recorded within the Graphic User Interface and then
passed to the monophonic analysis engine. The first phase of analysis segments
the PCM sound data to...
