摘要:
A sensor network system including node devices connected in a network via predetermined propagation paths collects data measured at each node device to be aggregated into one base station via a time-synchronized sensor network system. The base station calculates a position of the signal source based on the angle estimation value of the signal from each node device and position information thereof, designates a node device located nearest to the signal source as a cluster head node device, and transmits information of the position of the signal source and the designated cluster head node device to each node device, to cluster each node device located within the number of hops from the cluster head node device as a node device belonging to each cluster. Each node device performs an emphasizing process on the received signal from the signal source, and transmits an emphasized signal to the base station.

An AD converter includes a VT converter circuit part which inputs an analog input voltage and a sampling clock, converts the analog input voltage to a corresponding delay time, and outputs time domain data. A ring oscillator circuit part of N stages inputs the time domain data, and an error propagation circuit part takes out delay information containing a quantization error from phase information of the ring oscillator circuit part of the previous stage, and propagate the delay information to the ring oscillator circuit part of a subsequent stage. A counter circuit part measures a number of waves of an output oscillation waveform of the ring oscillator circuit part of each stage, and an output signal generator part generates an output signal from an output counted value of each counter circuit part. A reset part resets each error propagation circuit part and each counter circuit part with a sampling clock.

Provided is memory which is capable of dynamically changing memory cell bit reliability and of switching the operating mode so as to accommodate process variations, thereby reducing the operating voltage. The memory is provided with a mode control line selection circuit for dividing mode control lines in to word units and using control line selection signals and global control signals to control the mode control lines divided into word units, and a word line selection circuit for dividing the word lines that control the conduction of switching unit into word units and using word line selection signals and global word signals to control the word lines divided into word units. The mode control line switching circuit is used to switch between a 1 bit/1 cell mode and a 1 bit/n cell mode in word units.

A memory wherein the bit reliability of the memory cells can be dynamically varied depending on the application or the memory status, the operation stability is ensured, and thereby a low power consumption and a high reliability are realized. Either a mode (a 1-bit/1-cell mode) in which one bit is composed of one memory cell or a mode (a 1-bit/n-cell mode) in which one bit is composed of n (n is two or more) connected memory cells is dynamically selected. When the 1-bit/n-cell mode is selected, the read/write stability of one bit is enhanced, the cell current during read is increased (read is speeded up), and a bit error, if occurs, is self-corrected. Especially, a pair of CMOS transistors and a control line for performing control so as to permit the CMOS transistors to conduct are added between the data holding nodes of n adjacent memory cells. With this, the word line (WL) is controlled, and thereby the operation stability is further improved.
