Automating the IEEE std. 1500 compliance verification for embedded cores
Get PDFThe IEEE 1500 standard for embedded core testing proposes a very effective solution for testing modern system-on-chip (SoC). It proposes a flexible hardware test wrapper architecture, together with a core test language (CTL) used to describe the implemented wrapper functionalities. Already several IP providers have announced compliance in both existing and future design blocks. In this paper we address the challenge of guaranteeing the compliance of a wrapper architecture and its CTL description to the IEEE std. 1500. This is a mandatory step to fully trust the wrapper functionalities in applying the test sequences to the core. The proposed solution aims at implementing a verification framework allowing core providers and/or integrators to automatically verify the compliancy of their products (sold or purchased) to the standar

Increasing Distributed Generation Penetration using Soft Normally-Open Points
Get PDFThis paper considers the effects of various voltage control solutions on facilitating an increase in allowable levels of distributed generation installation before voltage violations occur. In particular, the voltage control solution that is focused on is the implementation of `soft' normally-open points (SNOPs), a term which refers to power electronic devices installed in place of a normally-open point in a medium-voltage distribution network which allows for control of real and reactive power flows between each end point of its installation sites. While other benefits of SNOP installation are discussed, the intent of this paper is to determine whether SNOPs are a viable alternative to other voltage control strategies for this particular application. As such, the SNOPs ability to affect the voltage profile along feeders within a distribution system is focused on with other voltage control options used for comparative purposes. Results from studies on multiple network models with varying topologies are presented and a case study which considers economic benefits of increasing feasible DG penetration is also given
Modeling and analysis of slow CW decrease IEEE 802.11 WLAN
No full textThe IEEE 802.11 medium access control (MAC) protocol provides a contention-based distributed channel access mechanism for mobile stations to share the wireless medium, which may introduce a lot of collisions in case of overloaded active stations. Slow contention window (CW) decrease scheme is a simple and efficient solution for this problem. In this paper, we use an analytical model to compare the slow CW decrease scheme to the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol. Several parameters are investigated such as the number of stations, the initial CW size, the decrease factor value, the maximum backoff stage and the coexistence with the RequestToSend and ClearToSend (RTS/CTS) mechanism. The results show that the slow CW decrease scheme can efficiently improve the throughput of IEEE 802.11, and that the throughput gain is higher when the decrease factor is larger. Moreover, the initial CW size and maximum backoff stage also affect the performance of slow CW decrease scheme
IEEE Standard 1500 Compliance Verification for Embedded Cores
Get PDFCore-based design and reuse are the two key elements for an efficient system-on-chip (SoC) development. Unfortunately, they also introduce new challenges in SoC testing, such as core test reuse and the need of a common test infrastructure working with cores originating from different vendors. The IEEE 1500 Standard for Embedded Core Testing addresses these issues by proposing a flexible hardware test wrapper architecture for embedded cores, together with a core test language (CTL) used to describe the implemented wrapper functionalities. Several intellectual property providers have already announced IEEE Standard 1500 compliance in both existing and future design blocks. In this paper, we address the problem of guaranteeing the compliance of a wrapper architecture and its CTL description to the IEEE Standard 1500. This step is mandatory to fully trust the wrapper functionalities in applying the test sequences to the core. We present a systematic methodology to build a verification framework for IEEE Standard 1500 compliant cores, allowing core providers and/or integrators to verify the compliance of their products (sold or purchased) to the standar
A ±25A Versatile Shunt-Based Current Sensor with 10kHz Bandwidth and ±0.25% Gain Error from -40°C to 85°C Using 2-Current Calibration
No full textAccurate current sensing is critical in many industrial applications, such as battery management and motor control. Precise shunt-based current sensors have been reported with gain errors of less than 1% over the industrial temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) [1]–[4]. However, since they are intended for coulomb counting, their bandwidth is limited to a few tens of Hz, making them unsuitable for battery impedance or motor-current sensing. This paper presents a current sensor with a wide (10kHz) bandwidth and a tunable temperature compensation scheme (TCS), which allows it to be flexibly used with different types of shunts while maintaining high accuracy. A low-cost room-temperature calibration scheme is proposed to optimize gain flatness over temperature by exploiting the shunt's self-heating at large currents. Over the industrial temperature range and a ±25A current range, it achieves state-of-the-art gain error (±0.25%) with both low-cost PCB and stable metal-alloy shunts.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Electronic InstrumentationMicroelectronic
Adaptive fair channel allocation for QoS enhancement in IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs
No full textThe emerging widespread use of real-time multimedia applications over wireless networks makes the support of quality of service (QoS) a key problem. In this paper, we focus on QoS support mechanisms for IEEE 802.11 wireless ad-hoc networks. First, we review limitations of the upcoming IEEE 802.11e enhanced DCF (EDCF) and other enhanced MAC schemes that have been proposed to support QoS for 802.11 ad-hoc networks. Then, we describe a new scheme called adaptive fair EDCF that extends EDCF, by increasing the contention window during deferring periods when the channel is busy, and by using an adaptive fast backoff mechanism when the channel is idle. Our scheme computes an adaptive backoff threshold for each priority level by taking into account the channel load. The new scheme significantly improves the quality of multimedia applications. Moreover, it increases the overall throughput obtained both in medium and high load cases. Simulution results show that our new scheme outperforms EDCF and other enhanced schemes. Finally, we show that the adaptive fair EDCF scheme achieves a high degree of fairness among applications of the same priority level
Performance analysis and enhancements for IEEE 802.11e wireless networks
No full textThis article is posted here with persmission from IEEE - Copyright @ 2005 IEEEThe IEEE 802.11 WLAN legacy standard cannot provide QoS support for multimedia
applications. Thus, considerable research efforts have been carried out to
enhance QoS support for 802.11. Among them, 802.11e is the upcoming QoSenhanced
standard proposed by the IEEE working group. This article describes in
detail the new QoS features of 802.11e based on the latest version of the standard
draft. We investigate the performance of 802.11e through computer simulations.
Using simple examples, we show the effectiveness of adaptive schemes
under the 802.11e framework.This work was supported in part by the French National Telecommunication Research Project (VTHD++) and Science Foundation Ireland WLAN Project (grant no. 03/IN3/I396
A 0.12mm<sup>2</sup> Wien-Bridge Temperature Sensor with 0.1°C (3σ) Inaccuracy from -40°C to 180°C
No full text Resistor-based temperature sensors can achieve much higher resolution and energy efficiency than conventional BJT-based sensors [1], but they typically occupy more area (> 0.25 mm 2 ) and have lower operating temperatures (le 125 {circ} {C}) [2]-[4]. This work describes a 0.12mm 2 resistor-based sensor that uses a Wien-bridge (WB) filter to achieve 0.1 {circ} {C} (3 sigma) inaccuracy from - 40 {circ} {C} to 180 {circ} {C}. Compared to a state-of-the-art WB sensor [4], it occupies 6 × less area and achieves comparable relative accuracy over a 76% wider operating range.
