The research group in electronic system design is working in three different areas
![]() | Implementation techniques for low-power design |
![]() | Design Methods with rapid prototyping |
![]() | Application oriented design (Image processing, multimedia applications) |
All the projects that I am involved in is related to digitial design. My
main research intrest is low-power VLSI design. In 1996 we finished a project where we
studied how asynchronous imlementation techniques effeciently can be used for VLSI
designs, considering both design effort and low power consumption. The target demonstrator
was a CDMA reciever for digital radio communication. A fully asynchronous chip with
100.000 transistors was designed, fabricated, and tested.
During 1999 I have been looking at how to design low-power Finite-State Machines (FSMs).
The approach that we have used is a mixed synchronous/asynchronous design technique. This
study has resulted in a synthesis tool that optimizes FSMs. The tool, called LIFS, has
been implemented in JAVA.
During the spring of 1999 I worked with an ASIC implementation of a 3-dimensional filter for noise reduction of real-time video images.
