MRI: Equipment Acquisition in Support of Research into the Design of Next-Generation High-Speed System-on-a-Chip Designs

EIA-9977211 Najm，Farid NHajj，Ibrahim N.伊利诺斯大学MRI：设备采购支持下一代高速系统芯片设计的设计研究这项研究的总体目标是证明芯片系统设计提供了许多优势，并利用这些优势开发到目前为止还不可能实现的新应用。这项提议需要必要的仪器来开展尖端研究。拟收购太阳微系统公司的服务器(将用于运行大型设计软件包，如Cadence和Avant)、泰克公司的数字测试仪(将对先进的数字信号处理器芯片和高速ADC/DAC设计实施进行高速测试和验证)和惠普公司的网络分析仪(用于测试射频模拟芯片和测量S参数)。该设备将用于以下研究项目：(I)高性能、低功耗多媒体数字信号处理器和通信系统的设计；(Ii)无线便携式多媒体芯片的软件无线电设计；(Iii)射频模拟输入的ESD保护电路的设计；以及(Iv)多媒体片上系统的设计。

EIA-9977211Najm, Farid NHajj, Ibrahim N.University of IllinoisMRI: Equipment Acquisition in Support of Research into the Design of Next-Generation High-Speed System-on-a-Chip DesignsThe overall goal of this research is to demonstrate that the system-on-a-chip design offers a number of advantages and to make use of them to develop new applications that have not been possible to date. This proposal requests essential instrumentation to carry out the cutting-edge research. It is proposed to acquire Sun Microsystems servers (which will be used to run large design software packages, like Cadence and Avant), a digital tester from Tektronix (which will perform high speed testing and verification of advanced DSP chips and high-speed ADC/DAC designs implementation) and a network analyzer from Hewlett-Packard (to be used to test RF analog chips and measure S-parameters). The equipment will be used to carry out the following research projects: (i) design of high-performance, low-power multimedia DSP and communications systems, (ii) design of software radio for wireless portable multimedia chip, (iii) design of ESD protection circuits of RF analog inputs and (iv) design of a multimedia system-on-a-chip.
