This paper proposes a novel technique of dynamic context management scheme for coarse-grained reconfigurable array DSP architecture, which effectively reduces the power consumption and speedup reconfigurable process. The technique permits background loading of configuration data without interrupting the regular execution, overlapping computation with reconfiguration. And stored configurations can be switched dramatically reducing reconfiguration overhead if the next configuration is present in one of the alternate contexts. The proposed technique has been verified in ReMAP (Reconfigurable Multi-media Array Processors) with the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) of H.264 and its performance exceed other DSP and multimedia extension architectures by 1.2x to 6.2x. ReMAP was fabricated with SMIC's 0.18um CMOS process mainly for multi-media applications(1).

This paper proposes a novel programmable power monitor chip. With only three program pins and without any off-chip devices, the chip has 36-program states by taking different connections for the 3-program pins. The chip can monitor the voltage from 1.5v to 5.0v with 0.1v step. Special SH circuit and current limited digital blocks are employed to achieve ultra low quiescent power. The implementation is based on 2M1P 0.5um mixed signal process, the die area is 0.24mm2, and the quiescent current is only 3uA.

In OFDM system, because of sensitivity to carrier frequency offset, frequency offset must be compensated before DFT in the receiver. In this paper, we present a maximum likelihood estimation for carrier frequency offset, based on OFDM symbol has no virtual sub-carriers. The estimation are compose of two parts, blind estimation makes use of cyclic prefix for every symbol and data-aid estimation makes use of two consequent OFDM symbols which are similar or relative to each other. Data-aid estimation performs well and simulation result converges upon Cramer-Rao lower bound. Blind estimation performs inferior, but it can be used in tracking mode.
