Abstract: The paper presents a novel mapping and routing technique for the mesh based NoC design problem
with an objective of minimizing the energy consumption and normalized worst link-load. The proposed algorithm
PLBMR is a particle swarm optimization (PSO) based two phases process, one is mapping core onto NoC to
minimize the NoC communication energy consumption, and another is the allocation of routing path for keeping
the link-load balance. and the paper presents the detail implementation of the PLBMR algorithm. Experimental
results show that the proposed technique can reduce the normalized worst link-load by 20% on average while
guarantee a low energy consumption.

Abstract: In this paper, a cross-coupled type AC-DC converter for RFID tags is proposed. The converter consists of
2 charge-pump type AC-DC converters with opposite polarities. In conventional converters, the threshold voltage
of a diode switch causes the decrease in power efficiency. By using cross-coupled connection of CMOS switches,
the proposed converter can alleviate the influence of the threshold voltage. Hence, it can achieve an AC-DC
conversion with high efficiency. Furthermore, the circuit size of the proposed converter is almost the same as that
of the conventional circuit. Through SPICE simulations, the following characteristics are obtained: 1. the power
efficiency is more than 88 % and 2. the electric power is about 5mW when an output load is 500 . Concerning
the power efficiency and the ripple voltage, theoretical design formulas are derived. Furthermore, the validity of
the circuit design is confirmed by experiments. Keywords:
