ERCCL uses capacitance coupling to perform a logic function, so it can energy-efficiently implement a high fan-in complex logic in a single gate. ERCCL is also a type of threshold logic. The gate count of a system based on ERCCL can be significantly reduced,which,in turn,will decrease the energy loss. A threshold logic synthesis methodology for ERCCL is also presented. MCNC benchmarks are run through the proposed synthesis methodology. The results indicate that about an 80% reduction in gate count can be obtained when compared with the synthesis results of SIS.展开更多

In this paper, we propose two different source coupled logic structures and analyze the performance of these structures with STSCL (Sub-threshold SCL). The first design under consideration is DTPMOS as load device which analyses the performance of Dynamic Threshold SCL (DTSCL) Logic with previous source coupled logic for ultra low power operation. DTSCL circuits exhibit a better power-delay Performance compared with the STSCL Logic. It can be seen that the proposed circuit provides 56% reduction in power delay product. The second design under consideration uses basic current mirror active load device to provide required voltage swing. Current mirror source coupled logic (CMSCL) can be used for high speed operation. The advantage of this design is that it provides 54% reduction in power delay product over conventional STSCL. The main drawback of this design is that it provides a higher power dissipation compared to other source coupled logic structures. The proposed circuit provides lower sensitivity to temperature and power supply variation, with a superior control over power dissipation. Measurements of test structures simulated in 0.18 μm CMOS technology shows that the proposed DTSCL logic concept can be utilized successfully for bias currents as low as 1 pA. Measurements show that existing standard cell libraries offer a good solution for ultra low power SCL circuits. Cadence Virtuoso schematic editor and Spectre Simulation tools have been used.展开更多

The dynamic adaptive threshold method can be suitable with different lighting conditions and quickly,accurately remove most of the information not relative to lane line.Meanwhile setting ROI can let the program only care about the specific region which can provide useful information and further reduce the processing data.And then on the basic of identification,we put forward some efficient innovation strategy about the control logic of straight state,curve state and the transition state.The experiment proves that this solution greatly raises efficiency.展开更多
