ble-chip (SOPC) design becomes the norm, hardware, software, and systems designers grapple with new verification challenges in addition to the urgency of the usual time to market, cost, and performance goals. Verification is historically the longest and most critical portion of system-level design. To ease those verification blues, engineers can now power up with a comprehensive, multi-faceted ...

Level shifter is an interfacing circuit which can interface low core voltage to high input-output voltage. It allows communication between different modules without adding up any extra supply pin. The main objective of the work is to minimize power dissipation in shifter circuit, which is due to different supply voltages in the circuit. The proposed method uses MTCMOS technique, which is one of...

Tree automata have been defined to accept trees. Different types of acceptance like bottom-up, top-down, tree walking have been considered in the literature. In this paper, we consider bottom-up tree automata and discuss the sequential distributed version of this model. Generally, this type of distribution is called cooperative distributed automata or the blackboard model. We define the traditi...

We present new algorithms for the inverse, division, and square root of power series. The key trick is a new algorithm – MiddleProduct or, for short, MP – computing the n middle coefficients of a (2n− 1)× n full product in the same number of multiplications as a full n × n product. This improves previous work of Brent, Mulders, Karp and Markstein, Burnikel and Ziegler. These results apply both ...

Static power dissipation is increases with the scaling in threshold voltage and expected to become important part of total power consumption. In the present work, a new configuration of level shifters for low power application in 0.25μm technology has been presented. The proposed circuits utilize the merit of stacking technique by which there is reduction in leakage power. In this work a new le...

Fuel cell based systems are a promising alternative to batteries in man-portable power generation applications. These micro power generation processes must operate fully autonomously and automatically without the intervention of operators. Operational considerations are indeed so important that they influence the optimal design, following the paradigm of interaction of design and operation. Thi...
