VLSI with Applications in Speech Processing and Recognition
System
Abstract
The rapidly growing complexity and increasing performance of
integrated circuit technology has inspired the work on high
performance CMOS circuit design, presented in this thesis.
Predicting the future of IC technology, the SIA Roadmap, which was
presented two years ago by the Silicon Industry Association, is
presently proving to be on the conservative side. Dealing with
large and complex designs, and at the same time designing circuits
for high performance applications is a major challenge. As an
example of demanding digital signal processing, the area of
automatic speech recognition is utilized as a driving application
throughout the text of this dissertation. Speaker independent
speech recognition tasks with large vocabulary are at focus. In
this work, design methodologies as well as cell libraries for
utilization of the dynamic single phase clocking techniques TSPC
(True Single Phase Clocking circuit).
