A mixed-signal integrated circuit is any integrated circuit that has both analog circuits and digital circuits on a single semiconductor die. In real-life applications mixed-signal designs are everywhere, for example, a smart mobile phone. However, it is more accurate to call them mixed-signal systems. Mixed-signal ICs also process both analog and digital signals together. For example, an analog-to-digital converter is a mixed-signal circuit. Mixed-signal circuits or systems are typically cost-effective solutions for building any modern consumer electronics applications.

Learn about the design of a high-frequency multi-phase DC-to-DC converter for an electric vehicle hybrid energy storage system (HESS) that combines the high specific power (kW/kg) of ultra-capacitors with the high specific energy (Wh/kg) of Lithium-Ion batteries. The 30 kW bidirectional DC-DC converter operates in uses advanced system optimization algorithms executing on the real-time processor of the NI CompactRIO system to determine the reference current for optimal charge and discharge of the ultra-capacitors and batteries during the drive cycle. A liquid cooled, 4-phase, two quadrant DC-DC converter with interleaving for reduced ripple current and high frequency operation is designed and simulated using NI Multisim using LabVIEW FPGA co-simulation. To maximize the energy efficiency, a variable frequency PWM control scheme is implemented along with phase shedding that enables the FPGA-based control system to drop out half-bridge phases during low power operation.
The new NI Multisim co-simulation tools are used to design the LabVIEW FPGA power electronics control code including the logic for startup and fault mode conditions. Unlike the traditional approach to model based design, this avoids the need to create a separate model of the control system for the purposes of simulation, which then must be converted to register level code for implementation in the FPGA. Instead, the LabVIEW FPGA controller code is co-simulated with the schematics in Multisim. LabVIEW graphical programming tools for the FPGA completely eliminate the need for any knowledge of VHDL or Verilog programming.
The Multisim power electronics simulation schematic is a high fidelity model that includes parasitics including capacitor, battery and cabling ESR. Using the new variable-timestep co-simulation tools, the converter schematic is modeled in continuous time along with the actual discrete time, fixed-point LabVIEW FPGA code, including all quantization effects.
During co-simulation, a user friendly graphical user interface (GUI) is developed for the FPGA-based control system. The LabVIEW front panel GUI and LabVIEW FPGA control code is completely re-used when transferred to the NI CompactRIO system for operation of the physical power converter. The NI toolchain enables the identical embedded code to exist simultaneously in both a desktop simulation and embedded system deployment context. The user interface enables the PWM switching frequency to be adjusted on the fly during operation along with control gain tuning and transfer between converter operating modes. All kinds of diagnostic information about the currents, temperature, voltages and fault conditions are displayed on a line-diagram of the converter circuit.
The LabVIEW FPGA control system includes digital PI compensator, phase balancing algorithms, and frequency control look up table (LUT) logic. Co-simulation results show single-phase and four-phase load step responses from 0 to 50 Amps, based on a range of ultracapacitor voltages. We see a very good match between co-simulation results and physical measurements from the experimental system.
A 3D rendering of the converter assembly mechanical design is shown, including the logic board, capacitors, IGBT models and drivers, and the NI CompactRIO control system. The CompactRIO control system also acts as a data logger, enabling analysis of the experimental converter dynamic response give slow (10 s) and fast (250 ms) step-changes to the ultra-capacitor charge/discharge current commands. The speed of the data logging system enables us to zoom in on the time-response measurements to verify control stability in all operating conditions.
The Multisim and LabVIEW FPGA co-simulation platform was very useful for developing and validate the control software in a short period of time by a student with no knowledge of HDL and no prior LabVIEW programming experience, and eliminated the need to create a separate model of the control software. However, due to the inherently long simulation times for high fidelity modeling of SMPS and 80 MHz FPGA control loops, we did find some challenges in using the exact same control code. Next step is to port the control to the NI sbRIO GPIC.

Mixed-signal integrated circuit
A mixed-signal integrated circuit is any integrated circuit that has both analog circuits and digital circuits on a single semiconductor die. In real-life applications mixed-signal designs are everywhere, for example, a smart mobile phone. However, it is more accurate to call them mixed-signal systems. Mixed-signal ICs also process both analog and digital signals together. For example, an analog-to-digital converter is a mixed-signal circuit. Mixed-signal circuits or systems are typically cost-effective solutions for building any modern consumer electronics applications.
Introduction
A mixed-signal system-on-a-chip (AMS-SoC) can be a combination of analog circuits, digital circuits, intrinsic mixed-signal circuits (like ADC), and Embedded Software.
Integrated Circuits (ICs) are generally classified as digital (e.g. a microprocessors) or analog (e.g. an operational amplifier). Mixed-signal ICs are chips that contain both digital and analog circuits on the same chip. This category of chip has grown dramatically with the increased use of 3G cell phones and other portable technologies.

Integrated circuit
An integrated circuit or monolithic integrated circuit (also referred to as an IC, a chip, or a microchip) is a set of electronic circuits on one small plate ("chip") of semiconductor material, normally silicon. This can be made much smaller than a discrete circuit made from independent electronic components. ICs can be made very compact, having up to several billion transistors and other electronic components in an area the size of a fingernail. The width of each conducting line in a circuit can be made smaller and smaller as the technology advances; in 2008 it dropped below 100 nanometers, and has now been reduced to tens of nanometers.
ICs were made possible by experimental discoveries showing that semiconductor devices could perform the functions of vacuum tubes and by mid-20th-century technology advancements in semiconductor device fabrication. The integration of large numbers of tiny transistors into a small chip was an enormous improvement over the manual assembly of circuits using discrete electronic components. The integrated circuit's mass production capability, reliability and building-block approach to circuit design ensured the rapid adoption of standardized integrated circuits in place of designs using discrete transistors.

Circuit design
The process of circuit design can cover systems ranging from complex electronic systems all the way down to the individual transistors within an integrated circuit.
For simple circuits the design process can often be done by one person without needing a planned or structured design process, but for more complex designs, teams of designers following a systematic approach with intelligently guided computer simulation are becoming increasingly common.
In integrated circuit design automation, the term "circuit design" often refers to the step of the design cycle which outputs the schematics of the integrated circuit. Typically this is the step between logic design and physical design.
Formal circuit design usually involves the following stages:

University of Toronto
The University of Toronto (U of T, UToronto, or Toronto) is a public research university in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, situated on the grounds that surround Queen's Park. It was founded by royal charter in 1827 as King's College, the first institution of higher learning in the colony of Upper Canada. Originally controlled by the Church of England, the university assumed the present name in 1850 upon becoming a secular institution. As a collegiate university, it comprises twelve colleges, which differ in character and history, each retaining substantial autonomy on financial and institutional affairs. It has two satellite campuses located in Scarborough and Mississauga.
Academically, the University of Toronto is noted for influential movements and curricula in literary criticism and communication theory, known collectively as the Toronto School. The university was the birthplace of insulin and stem cell research, and was the site of the first practical electron microscope, the development of multi-touch technology, the identification of Cygnus X-1 as a black hole, and the theory of NP-completeness. By a significant margin, it receives the most annual scientific research funding of any Canadian university. It is one of two members of the Association of American Universities located outside the United States.

Abstract: Although microelectronics technology has progressed very quickly in the past sixty years, in many ways it is still catching up. Over millions of years, biological systems have evolved exquisite capabilities far beyond those of modern technology. One way to overcome this “technology gap” is to learn from biology. My research strives to accomplish this by developing hybrid bioelectronic systems, by incorporating principles of adaptation into electronic systems, and by understanding the physical basis for biology’s successes. I’ll describe several efforts along these lines, including integrated biosensors that directly monitor the responses of living cells and adaptive integrated circuits that automatically adjust their characteristics to improve performance. I’ll highlight some directions and remaining challenges in the path ahead, as well as novel applications that are made possible by these advances. Bio: Pamela A. Abshire is an Assistant Professor at the University of Maryland, College Park, with appointments in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Institute for Systems Research. She is also a member of the Programs in Neuroscience and Cognitive Science (NACS) and Bioengineering. Her research focuses on mixed-signal integrated circuit design, particularly adaptive circuits and biosensors, and understanding the tradeoffs between performance and energy in natural and engineered systems.

A mixed-signal integrated circuit is any integrated circuit that has both analog circuits and digital circuits on a single semiconductor die. In real-life applications mixed-signal designs are everywhere, for example, a smart mobile phone. However, it is more accurate to call them mixed-signal systems. Mixed-signal ICs also process both analog and digital signals together. For example, an analog-to-digital converter is a mixed-signal circuit. Mixed-signal circuits or systems are typically cost-effective solutions for building any modern consumer electronics applications.

Learn about the design of a high-frequency multi-phase DC-to-DC converter for an electric vehicle hybrid energy storage system (HESS) that combines the high specific power (kW/kg) of ultra-capacitors with the high specific energy (Wh/kg) of Lithium-Ion batteries. The 30 kW bidirectional DC-DC converter operates in uses advanced system optimization algorithms executing on the real-time processor of the NI CompactRIO system to determine the reference current for optimal charge and discharge of the ultra-capacitors and batteries during the drive cycle. A liquid cooled, 4-phase, two quadrant DC-DC converter with interleaving for reduced ripple current and high frequency operation is designed and simulated using NI Multisim using LabVIEW FPGA co-simulation. To maximize the energy efficiency, a variable frequency PWM control scheme is implemented along with phase shedding that enables the FPGA-based control system to drop out half-bridge phases during low power operation.
The new NI Multisim co-simulation tools are used to design the LabVIEW FPGA power electronics control code including the logic for startup and fault mode conditions. Unlike the traditional approach to model based design, this avoids the need to create a separate model of the control system for the purposes of simulation, which then must be converted to register level code for implementation in the FPGA. Instead, the LabVIEW FPGA controller code is co-simulated with the schematics in Multisim. LabVIEW graphical programming tools for the FPGA completely eliminate the need for any knowledge of VHDL or Verilog programming.
The Multisim power electronics simulation schematic is a high fidelity model that includes parasitics including capacitor, battery and cabling ESR. Using the new variable-timestep co-simulation tools, the converter schematic is modeled in continuous time along with the actual discrete time, fixed-point LabVIEW FPGA code, including all quantization effects.
During co-simulation, a user friendly graphical user interface (GUI) is developed for the FPGA-based control system. The LabVIEW front panel GUI and LabVIEW FPGA control code is completely re-used when transferred to the NI CompactRIO system for operation of the physical power converter. The NI toolchain enables the identical embedded code to exist simultaneously in both a desktop simulation and embedded system deployment context. The user interface enables the PWM switching frequency to be adjusted on the fly during operation along with control gain tuning and transfer between converter operating modes. All kinds of diagnostic information about the currents, temperature, voltages and fault conditions are displayed on a line-diagram of the converter circuit.
The LabVIEW FPGA control system includes digital PI compensator, phase balancing algorithms, and frequency control look up table (LUT) logic. Co-simulation results show single-phase and four-phase load step responses from 0 to 50 Amps, based on a range of ultracapacitor voltages. We see a very good match between co-simulation results and physical measurements from the experimental system.
A 3D rendering of the converter assembly mechanical design is shown, including the logic board, capacitors, IGBT models and drivers, and the NI CompactRIO control system. The CompactRIO control system also acts as a data logger, enabling analysis of the experimental converter dynamic response give slow (10 s) and fast (250 ms) step-changes to the ultra-capacitor charge/discharge current commands. The speed of the data logging system enables us to zoom in on the time-response measurements to verify control stability in all operating conditions.
The Multisim and LabVIEW FPGA co-simulation platform was very useful for developing and validate the control software in a short period of time by a student with no knowledge of HDL and no prior LabVIEW programming experience, and eliminated the need to create a separate model of the control software. However, due to the inherently long simulation times for high fidelity modeling of SMPS and 80 MHz FPGA control loops, we did find some challenges in using the exact same control code. Next step is to port the control to the NI sbRIO GPIC.

Abstract:
Although microelectronics technology has progressed very quickly in the past sixty years, in many ways it is still catching up. Over millions of years, biological systems have evolved exquisite capabilities far beyond those of modern technology. One way to overcome this “technology gap” is to learn from biology. My research strives to accomplish this by developing hybrid bioelectronic systems, by incorporating principles of adaptation into electronic systems, and by understanding the physical basis for biology’s successes. I’ll describe several efforts along these lines, including integrated biosensors that directly monitor the responses of living cells and adaptive integrated circuits that automatically adjust their characteristics to improve performance. I’ll highlight some directions and remaining challenges in the path ahead, as well as novel applications that are made possible by these advances.

A mixed-signal integrated circuit is any integrated circuit that has both analog circuits and digital circuits on a single semiconductor die. In real-life applications mixed-signal designs are everywhere, for example, a smart mobile phone. However, it is more accurate to call them mixed-signal systems. Mixed-signal ICs also process both analog and digital signals together. For example, an analog-to-digital converter is a mixed-signal circuit. Mixed-signal circuits or systems are typically cost-effective solutions for building any modern consumer electronics applications.

Learn about the design of a high-frequency multi-phase DC-to-DC converter for an electric vehicle hybrid energy storage system (HESS) that combines the high specific power (kW/kg) of ultra-capacitors with the high specific energy (Wh/kg) of Lithium-Ion batteries. The 30 kW bidirectional DC-DC converter operates in uses advanced system optimization algorithms executing on the real-time processor of the NI CompactRIO system to determine the reference current for optimal charge and discharge of the ultra-capacitors and batteries during the drive cycle. A liquid cooled, 4-phase, two quadrant DC-DC converter with interleaving for reduced ripple current and high frequency operation is designed and simulated using NI Multisim using LabVIEW FPGA co-simulation. To maximize the energy efficiency, a variable frequency PWM control scheme is implemented along with phase shedding that enables the FPGA-based control system to drop out half-bridge phases during low power operation.
The new NI Multisim co-simulation tools are used to design the LabVIEW FPGA power electronics control code including the logic for startup and fault mode conditions. Unlike the traditional approach to model based design, this avoids the need to create a separate model of the control system for the purposes of simulation, which then must be converted to register level code for implementation in the FPGA. Instead, the LabVIEW FPGA controller code is co-simulated with the schematics in Multisim. LabVIEW graphical programming tools for the FPGA completely eliminate the need for any knowledge of VHDL or Verilog programming.
The Multisim power electronics simulation schematic is a high fidelity model that includes parasitics including capacitor, battery and cabling ESR. Using the new variable-timestep co-simulation tools, the converter schematic is modeled in continuous time along with the actual discrete time, fixed-point LabVIEW FPGA code, including all quantization effects.
During co-simulation, a user friendly graphical user interface (GUI) is developed for the FPGA-based control system. The LabVIEW front panel GUI and LabVIEW FPGA control code is completely re-used when transferred to the NI CompactRIO system for operation of the physical power converter. The NI toolchain enables the identical embedded code to exist simultaneously in both a desktop simulation and embedded system deployment context. The user interface enables the PWM switching frequency to be adjusted on the fly during operation along with control gain tuning and transfer between converter operating modes. All kinds of diagnostic information about the currents, temperature, voltages and fault conditions are displayed on a line-diagram of the converter circuit.
The LabVIEW FPGA control system includes digital PI compensator, phase balancing algorithms, and frequency control look up table (LUT) logic. Co-simulation results show single-phase and four-phase load step responses from 0 to 50 Amps, based on a range of ultracapacitor voltages. We see a very good match between co-simulation results and physical measurements from the experimental system.
A 3D rendering of the converter assembly mechanical design is shown, including the logic board, capacitors, IGBT models and drivers, and the NI CompactRIO control system. The CompactRIO control system also acts as a data logger, enabling analysis of the experimental converter dynamic response give slow (10 s) and fast (250 ms) step-changes to the ultra-capacitor charge/discharge current commands. The speed of the data logging system enables us to zoom in on the time-response measurements to verify control stability in all operating conditions.
The Multisim and LabVIEW FPGA co-simulation platform was very useful for developing and validate the control software in a short period of time by a student with no knowledge of HDL and no prior LabVIEW programming experience, and eliminated the need to create a separate model of the control software. However, due to the inherently long simulation times for high fidelity modeling of SMPS and 80 MHz FPGA control loops, we did find some challenges in using the exact same control code. Next step is to port the control to the NI sbRIO GPIC.

Abstract:
Although microelectronics technology has progressed very quickly in the past sixty years, in many ways it is still catching up. Over millions of years, biological systems have evolved exquisite capabilities far beyond those of modern technology. One way to overcome this “technology gap” is to learn from biology. My research strives to accomplish this by developing hybrid bioelectronic systems, by incorporating principles of adaptation into electronic systems, and by understanding the physical basis for biology’s successes. I’ll describe several efforts along these lines, including integrated biosensors that directly monitor the responses of living cells and adaptive integrated circuits that automatically adjust their characteristics to improve performance. I’ll highlight some directions and remaining challenges in the path ahead, as well as novel applications that are made possible by these advances.

Karlheinz Meier - Neuromorphic Computing - Extreme Approaches to weak and strong scaling
Computer simulations of complex systems provide an opportunity to study their time evolution under user control. Simulations of neural circuits are an established tool in computational neuroscience. Through systematic simplification on spatial and temporal scales they provide important insights in the time evolution of networks which in turn leads to an improved understanding of brain functions like learning, memory or behavior. Simulations of large networks are exploiting the concept of weak scaling where the massively parallel biological network structure is naturally mapped on computers with very large numbers of compute nodes. However, this approach is suffering from fundamental limitations. The power consumption is approaching prohibitive levels and, more seriously, the bridging of t...

Karlheinz Meier - Neuromorphic Computing - Extreme Approaches to weak and strong scaling
- Order: Reorder

Computer simulations of complex systems provide an opportunity to study their time evolution under user control. Simulations of neural circuits are an established tool in computational neuroscience. Through systematic simplification on spatial and temporal scales they provide important insights in the time evolution of networks which in turn leads to an improved understanding of brain functions like learning, memory or behavior. Simulations of large networks are exploiting the concept of weak scaling where the massively parallel biological network structure is naturally mapped on computers with very large numbers of compute nodes. However, this approach is suffering from fundamental limitations. The power consumption is approaching prohibitive levels and, more seriously, the bridging of time-scales from millisecond to years, present in the neurobiology of plasticity, learning and development is inaccessible to classical computers. In the keynote I will argue that these limitations can be overcome by extreme approaches to weak and strong scaling based on brain-inspired computing architectures.
Bio: Karlheinz Meier received his PhD in physics in 1984 from Hamburg University in Germany. He has more than 25years of experience in experimental particle physics with contributions to 4 major experiments at particle colliders at DESY in Hamburg and CERN in Geneva. For the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) he led a 15 year effort to design, build and operate an electronics data processing system providing on-the-fly data reduction by 3 orders of magnitude enabling among other achievements the discovery of the Higgs Boson. Following scientific staff positions at DESY and CERN he was appointed full professor of physics at Heidelberg university in 1992. In Heidelberg he co-founded the Kirchhoff-Institute for Physics and a laboratory for the development of microelectronic circuits for science experiments. In particle physics he took a leading international role in shaping the future of the field as president of the European Committee for Future Accelerators (ECFA). Around 2005 he gradually shifted his scientific interests towards large-scale electronic implementations of brain-inspired computer architectures. His group pioneered several innovations in the field like the conception of a description language for neural circuits (PyNN), time-compressed mixed-signal neuromorphic computing systems and wafer-scale integration for their implementation. He led 2 major European initiatives, FACETS and BrainScaleS, that both demonstrated the rewarding interdisciplinary collaboration of neuroscience and information science. In 2009 he was one of the initiators of the European Human Brain Project (HBP) that was approved in 2013. In the HBP he leads the subproject on neuromorphic computing with the goal of establishing brain-inspired computing paradigms as tools for neuroscience and generic methods for inference from large data volumes.
