Arithmetic Operations in Multi-Valued Logic

This paper presents arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction and multiplications in Modulo-4 arithmetic, and also addition, multiplication in Galois field, using multi-valued logic (MVL). Quaternary to binary and binary to quaternary converters are designed using down literal circuits. Negation in modular arithmetic is designed with only one gate. Logic design of each operation is achieved by reducing the terms using Karnaugh diagrams, keeping minimum number of gates and depth of net in to consideration. Quaternary multiplier circuit is proposed to achieve required optimization. Simulation result of each operation is shown separately using Hspice.Comment: 12 Pages, VLSICS Journal 201

Design of High Performance Quaternary Adders

Design of the binary logic circuits is limited by the requirement of the interconnections. A possible solution could be arrived at by using a larger set of signals over the same chip area. Multiple-valued logic (MVL) designs are gaining importance from that perspective. This paper presents two types of multiple-valued full adder circuits, implemented in Multiple-Valued voltage-Mode Logic (MV-VML). First type is designed using one hot encoding and barrel shifter. Second full adder circuit is designed by converting the quaternary logic in to unique code, which enables to implement circuit with reduced hard ware. Sum and carry are processed in two separate blocks, controlled by code generator unit. The design is targeted for the 0.18 μm CMOS technology and verification of the design is done through Synopsis HSPICE and COSMOSCOPE Tools. Area of the designed circuits is less than the corresponding binary circuits and quaternary adders because number of transistors used are less

An Investigation towards Effectiveness in Image Enhancement Process in MPSoC

Image enhancement has a primitive role in the vision-based applications. It involves the processing of the input image by boosting its visualization for various applications. The primary objective is to filter the unwanted noises, clutters, sharpening or blur. The characteristics such as resolution and contrast are constructively altered to obtain an outcome of an enhanced image in the bio-medical field. The paper highlights the different techniques proposed for the digital enhancement of images. After surveying these methods that utilize Multiprocessor System-on-Chip (MPSoC), it is concluded that these methodologies have little accuracy and hence none of them are efficiently capable of enhancing the digital biomedical images

Hardware Implementation Analysis of Min-Sum Decoders

The objective of this work is to propose a modified Min-Sum decoding Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) algorithm and perform the hardware implementation analysis of Min-Sum, optimized Min-Sum and modified Min-Sum decoders. The Min-Sum algorithm mainly uses the process of finding the minimum and addition. Hence the number of multiplications is drastically reduced which helps in reducing the complexity of implementation. Adding an optimisation factor to the decoder increases the accuracy and reduces the number of iterations required to compute the decoded message. Hence the process of optimisation reduces the overall decoding time required. Modified Min-Sum algorithm is proposed to further improve the performance by decreasing the number of stages in the decoding process which reduces the complexity in Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) implementation
