Control Algorithm for Voltage Regulation

March 22, 2009

A Hybrid Control Algorithm for Voltage Regulation in DC–DC Boost Converter
Sreekumar, C. & Agarwal, V.
A new switching control algorithm based on state trajectory approximation is proposed to regulate the output voltage of a representative second-order DC-DC converter – the boost converter. The essence of the proposed algorithm is to trap the system into a [...]

Error Localization of Complex DFT Codes Using Propagator Method
Nidhin Kizhakan
In this paper we consider the problem of error localization of complex DFT codes and the reconstruction of message. A propagator-based subspace algorithm is proposed for error localization of quantized DFT codes. The propagator method requires only linear operations and does not require any eigendecomposition of [...]

Sequential Equivalence Techniques

March 9, 2009

Sequential Equivalence Techniques for High Performance Design
Sini Balakrishnan
Quite often in semiconductor industry, when a product is nearing its launch date, most of us have had the deja-vu situation of performance to time-to-market trade-offs; especially in high-performance designs. Sequential equivalence checking opens up possibilities in this area, by enabling performance-tuning related sequential micro-architectural changes to be [...]
