    摘要: A radio communication system suitable for a sensor net system is provided. In a TDMA method, one slot is divided into four periods. Even when a majority of sensor nodes simultaneously perform access, they can settle in a steady state in high speed corresponding to the transition response of the system. Even when sleep time intervals of the sensor nodes are changed according to the priority thereof and the transmission intervals of the sensor nodes are not constant, the TDMA method control can be performed. Moreover, even when the transmission intervals of the sensor nodes are not constant, the original system performance is not deteriorated.

    摘要: In a sensor node SN driven by a secondary battery, a charge/discharge control circuit can be realized and an unnecessary circuit in the sensor node can be eliminated for its miniaturization. The charge/discharge control circuit and the sensor node have a comparator for monitoring a battery voltage, a control circuit for converting an output of the comparator into an interrupt signal, a micro controller for performing charge/discharge control only when detecting the interrupt signal, and a switch turned ON or OFF under control of the micro controller. When the battery voltage is not lower than a first predetermined voltage, the switch is turned OFF to thereby stop charging operation. When the battery voltage is not higher than a second predetermined voltage, the switch is turned OFF to stop discharging operation. A circuit necessary in a charge mode is provided in a charger side.

    摘要: A method, system, and library for generating high-speed logic circuits with reduced path depths even in cases when a critical path diverges into a plurality of paths that eventually converge. By replacing the gates of a logic circuit by selectors with two inputs and one output, a selector-based circuit is generated where a local circuit between the path divergence node and convergence node is detected. The stages of the critical path are reduced by replacing the local circuit by a logically equivalent selector with two inputs and one output; wherein one input of the selector is controlled by a circuit formed by inputting a logical value of “0” to the divergence node from which the local circuit is developed and a second input of the selector is controlled by a circuit formed by inputting a logical value of “1” to the divergence node.

    摘要: For the relation between the first and second pass-transistor circuits (PT1, PT2), the output signal of the preceding-stage is supplied to the gate of the succeeding-stage, and for the relation between the second and third pass-transistor circuits (PT2, PT3), the output signal of the preceding-stage is supplied to the source-drain path of the succeeding-stage. The first pass-transistor circuit (PT1) receives on its first input node (In1) and second input node (In2) the first input signal and the second input signal that are logically independent from each other. This logic circuit requires a smaller number of transistors and is capable of reducing the power consumption and delay and accomplishing an intricate logic function.

    摘要: In order to effectively explore a binary decision diagram for synthesizing a logic circuit, a tentative circuit comprised of AND gates and OR gates is synthesized from a logic function. The number of gates in this circuit to which two input variables are simultaneously associated are counted and used as correlation between the two input variables. A correlation matrix for correlation among all of the input variables is generated. The input variables are sequentially grouped from a set of input variables with strongest correlation in the correlation matrix: These groups are registered into a correlation tree, and an intergroup correlation tree is produced. These groups are sequentially selected from a group with the least correlation, and the intragroup order of the selected group is changed from one to another. A binary decision diagram is explored which satisfies the most appropriate condition in that group (such as the minimum number of nodes, the minimum delay, and the minimum area). The above processes repeated for all groups. Each node of the binary decision diagram thus obtained is substituted by a selector and each selector circuit is substituted by a circuit of a transistor level.

    摘要: A radio terminal device realizing reduced power consumption and prompt detection of detection object by using a first sensor and a second sensor whose ON/OFF states are opposite and whose operations are synchronized. When the first sensor detects a detection object, the first output voltage level is changed. When a processor detects the change of the output voltage level as an interrupt signal, the drive voltage level of the first sensor is switched to low and the drive voltage level of the second sensor is switched to high. Moreover, when the second sensor detects a detection object, the output voltage level of the second sensor is changed. When the processor detects the change of the output voltage level as an interrupt signal, the drive voltage level of the second sensor is switched to low and the drive voltage level of the first circuit is switched to high.
