13:30 - 15:00 Monday, November 23, 2009 . Room 201
Special Session
Organizer: Kiat Seng Yeo, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
Chair: Kiat Seng Yeo, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
Overview
With the rapid evolution of nanometer radio frequency (RF) CMOS technologies, it is no longer
impossible to have exceptionally compact, high-performance and low-cost RF integrated circuits and
systems. This special session focuses on a new architecture and some innovative circuit and de-embedding
techniques to realize low-voltage low-power RF CMOS transceivers for ultra-wideband (UWB), IEEE
802.16 and IEEE 802.15.3c applications. It consists of six contributing papers. Paper [Sl.l] presents a
novel 24/36-GHz double conversion heterodyne architecture for IEEE 802.15.3c standard. Paper [S1.2]
proposes a technique to simultaneously cancel the thermal noise in UWB low-noise amplifiers while paper
[SI.3] describes a direct conversion UWB receiver with a pulse detector. Its low-noise amplifier has a
variable gain optimized for low-power consumption. A fully-integrated CMOS power amplifier for 3.5GHz
mobile WiMAX (IEEE 802.16 standard) is demonstrated in paper [S1.4]. Paper [SI.5] introduces a
low-power all-digital pulse generator and modulator for FCC UWB low frequency band (3.1-4.5GHz)
spectral mask specifications. Finally, Paper [SI.6] proposes a new de-embedding technique based on
general fixture model to accurate de-embed test fixture parasitic for characterization ofRF CMOS at very
high frequency.

13:30 - 15:00 Monday, November 23, 2009 Room 202
Special session
Organizer: Kyu-Myung Choi, Samsung Electronics, Korea
Chair: Byeong Mill, Samsung Electronics, Korea
Overview
This special session shows Samsung's approaches to produce a competitive SoC design with 45nm
process or below, The first paper presents an effective way of fixing lithography hotspots. In the design
technologies with 45nm process or below, there is no practical solution to detect the lithography hotspots
and remove them in full chip level within a reasonable range of design time and accuracy. This solution
can effectively decrease systematic defects with the accuracy of timing closure within a reasonable design
time. The second paper shows how to enhance design productivity in RTL design activities. It shows an
idea of implementing automatic RTL generator with a user defined specifications. The solution can help
RTL designers who are suffering from frequent changes of design specification. The third paper shows a
fully automated.clock jitter analysis which can handle clock network with a clock divider and state
dependency, Thereby, it can handle odd-numbered divider network as well as worst case clock jitter
analysis. The last paper shows the body bias and gate-length bias techniques to improve parametric yield.
As the variation of process increases, these techniques become important more and more for mass
production.

Special session
Organizer: Jun Ma, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China
Chair: Jun Ma, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China
Overview
In the system-on-chip (SoC) design for telecommunication applications, it is vital to conduct joint
optimizations among RF, analog, and digital baseband. The imperfections caused by RF and analog blocks
can usually be relaxed and/or compensated by the digital circuits in the baseband. In this special session,
two papers namely [S12.2] and [S12.3] are presented to address these issues such as I/Q imbalance and
phase noise compensations in an OFDM based wireless communication environment. The VLSI
architectures are also investigated for the phase noise compensation based on decision feedback algorithm
using MMSE equalization technique. Two other papers, namely [S12.1] and [S12.4] in this special session
are presented to address the symbol timing synchronization issue and digital automatic gain control
(DAGC) function block for the ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless communications and digital mobile TV
applications, respectively. Due to the very high sampling rate requirement in the UWB system, a
symbol-rate timing recovery approach based on digital adaptive interpolation using LMS algorithm is
proposed for the purpose of power consumption reduction in paper [S12.1]. In paper [S12.4], detailed
finite-word-length (FWL) analysis are conducted on the VLSI architecture of the DAGC function block for

the purpose of efficient FWL design, which is an essential step from the system to the digital logic design.
The proposed FWL analysis approaches are also applicable to other digital feedback systems.

^"^^^^^Platforms and Design Tools for Automotive Systems
13;45 _ ^M Tuesday, November 24, 2009 Room 204
Special session
Organizer: Hiroyuki Tomiyama, Nagoya University, Japan
Chair: Hiroyuki Tomiyama, Nagoya University, Japan
Overview
From a viewpoint of computer engineering, a modern luxury automotive vehicle is a parallel and
distributed computing machine with more than one hundred ECUs (Electronic Control Units) and millions
of lines of software. Automotive systems are an emerging application domain for SOC industry. This
special session focuses on platforms and design tools for embedded systems for automotive applications.
The first paper describes a software platform which is a key technology to efficiently develop ever growing
automotive software. The second paper presents a toolkit for efficient hardware/software co-simulation of
CAN-based automotive network systems. The third paper proposes a two-level hierarchical scheduling
framework with a split interrupt routine, which enables multiple automotive applications to be integrated
on a single ECU with keeping real-time constraints. The last paper presents a new challenge to apply
dynamic reconfiguration technology to the next-generation ECU design.
