  • Development test suite for FPGA TekBot learning platform

    Creator:
    Lai, Gerald
    Abstract:
    As the Tekbots program expands into senior and graduate level classes at Oregon State University, so does the need arise for more complex learning platforms. These complex hardware platforms cannot be adequately tested in a manufacturing environment as we have done previously. Also, due to their complexity, these platforms require...

  • Improving a sampled-data circuit simulator for Delta-Sigma modulator design

    Creator:
    Hayward, Roger D.
    Abstract:
    Delta-Sigma Modulator-based Analog-to-Digital converter design is an active area of research. New topologies require extensive simulations to verify their performance. A series of improvements were made to an existing circuit simulation package in order to speed the simulation process for the designer. Various examples of these improvements are presented in...

  • Asymmetric clustering using a register cache

    Creator:
    Morrison, Roger Allen
    Abstract:
    Conventional register files spread porting resources uniformly across all registers. This paper proposes a method called Asymmetric Clustering using a Register Cache (ACRC). ACRC utilizes a fast register cache that concentrates valuable register file ports to the most active registers thereby reducing the total register file area and power consumption....

  • A token caching waiting-matching unit for tagged-token dataflow computers

    Creator:
    Traylor, Roger L.
    Abstract:
    Computers using the tagged-token dataflow model are among the best candidates for delivering extremely high levels of performance required in the future. Instruction scheduling in these computers is determined by associatively matching data-bearing tokens in a Waiting-Matching Unit (W-M unit). At the W-M unit, incoming tokens with matching contexts are...

  • Sensor communication network within a desktop computer using the DC powerline

    Creator:
    Bahniuk, Eileen Kei
    Abstract:
    Powerline communication (PLC), is becoming a more commonplace method for data transmission, however it is still a very new medium for data transmission, and international standards for powerline communication are still in the process of being developed and established. PLC can provide a means of simplifying the device connectivity to...

  • Ultra-low energy digital controller for battery-free wireless sensor network nodes

    Creator:
    Nasroullahi, Mohsen
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents a low-energy application specific digital controller for a battery-free 2.4 GHz wireless sensor network (WSN) node. The digital controller has been designed and fabricated in a standard 0.13 μm CMOS and implements a simple protocol for WSNs. Techniques such as supply voltage reduction and power gating have...

  • Substrate coupling macromodel for lightly doped CMOS processes

    Creator:
    Koteeswaran, Mohanalakshmi
    Abstract:
    A scalable macromodel for substrate noise coupling in lightly doped substrates with and without a buried layer has been developed. This model is based on Z-parameters and is scalable with contact size and separation. This model requires process dependent parameters that can be extracted easily from a small number of...

  • An efficient switched capacitor buck-boost voltage regulator using delta-sigma control loop

    Creator:
    Rao, Arun
    Abstract:
    Voltage converters or charge pumps find their use in many circuits. They are extensively used in hand held devices as cell phones, pagers, PDA's and laptops. Some of the important issues relating to design of voltage regulators for handheld devices are size, efficiency and noise. Another important factor to be...

  • Simulation and modeling of substrate noise generation from synchronous and asynchronous digital logic circuits

    Creator:
    Hanken, Christopher
    Abstract:
    Efficient methods for simulating the substrate noise generated by complex synchronous and asynchronous digital logic circuits are presented. By simulating digital logic at the gate level, and precharacterizing the gates, the substrate noise generation can be predicted and used in a transistor level simulation of the sensitive analog blocks. This...

  • A remotely controlled power quality test platform for characterizing the ride-through capabilities of adjustable speed drives

    Creator:
    Matheson, Evelyn
    Abstract:
    With the increased attention on high efficiency and controllability of industrial processes, as well as reduced weight, volume and cost of consumer products, the applications of nonlinear power electronic converters such as adjustable speed drives (ASDs) are showing a rapid rise. Power Quality (PQ) is becoming an increasing concern with...
