Modeling and design of on-chip interconnect, the interconnection between the components is becoming the fundamental roadblock in achieving high-speed integrated circuits. The scaling of interconnect in nanometer regime had shifted the paradime from device-dominated to interconnect-dominated design methodology. Driven by the expanding complexity of on-chip interconnects, a passivity preserving model order reduction (MOR) is essential for designing and estimating the performance for reliable operation of the integrated circuit. In this work, we developed a new frequency selective reduce norm spectral zero (RNSZ) projection method, which dynamically selects interpolation points using spectral zeros of the system. The proposed reduce-norm scheme can guarantee stability and passivity, while creating the reduced models, which are fairly accurate across selected narrow range of frequencies. The reduced order results indicate preservation of passivity and greater accuracy than the other model order reduction methods.

Abstract Generalized MIMO controllers such as H∞ and μ have not been widely adopted in the magnetic bearing industry, partially due to high computational cost relative to simpler SISO schemes. Computational cost is important to industrial magnetic bearing vendors as their controller hardware is based on embedded processors that have limited bandwidth. Studies to mitigate the problem of high order controllers show the limit of the existing methods in order reduction while still maintaining satisfying robust performance. A novel method is proposed to reduce the computational cost of robust controllers by identifying the bounds in their dynamic response, such that an implementation of a controller within those bounds results in the robust performance. The bounds are used to develop two computational cost reduction schemes for controller implementation, i.e., 1) identifying a dual-rate implementation of a single-rate controller which uniformly reduces the computational cost via interlacing technique, and 2) redesign of a controller by identifying its negligible dynamics based on the identified bounds in the controllers’ dynamic response. The results of both approaches are demonstrated on two active magnetic bearing (AMB) systems, a model of a 300 kW turbine generator with permanent magnet biased AMBs and an experimental high-speed AMB machining spindle. μ-synthesis controllers are designed for both systems and the proposed method and schemes are applied accordingly. The comparison of standard implementation of the synthesized controllers and the proposed new implementations is presented. The results demonstrate considerable reduction in the computational cost in terms of required number of multiply-accumulate (MAC) operations.

Abstract Generalized multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) controllers such as H∞ and μ have not been widely adopted in the magnetic bearing industry, partially due to high computational cost relative to simpler single-input-single-output schemes. Computational cost is important to industrial magnetic bearing vendors as their controller hardware is based on embedded processors that have limited bandwidth. Studies to mitigate the problem of high-order controllers show the limit of the existing methods in order reduction while still maintaining satisfying robust performance. A novel method is proposed to reduce the computational cost of robust controllers by identifying bounds in their dynamic response, such that an implementation of a controller within those bounds results in the robust performance. The bounds are used to develop two computational cost reduction schemes for controller implementation, i.e., (1) identifying a dual-rate implementation of a single-rate controller which uniformly reduces the computational cost via interlacing technique, and (2) redesign of a controller by identifying its negligible dynamics based on the identified bounds in the controllers' dynamic response. The results of both approaches are demonstrated on two active magnetic bearing (AMB) systems, a model of a 300 kW turbine generator with permanent magnet biased AMBs, and an experimental high-speed AMB machining spindle. μ-synthesis controllers are designed for both systems, and the proposed method and schemes are applied accordingly. The comparison of standard implementations of the synthesized controllers and the proposed new implementations is presented. The results demonstrate considerable reduction in the computational cost in terms of required number of multiply accumulate (MAC) operations.

Most microelectronics devices and circuits operate faster, consume less power, execute more functions and cost less per circuit function when the feature-sizes internal to the devices and circuits are made smaller. This is part of the stimulus for the Very High-Speed Integrated Circuits (VHSIC) program. There is also a need for smaller, more sensitive sensors in a wide range of disciplines that includes electrochemistry, neurophysiology and ultra-high pressure solid state research. There is often fundamental new science (and sometimes new technology) to be revealed (and used) when a basic parameter such as size is extended to new dimensions, as is evident at the two extremes of smallness and largeness, high energy particle physics and cosmology, respectively. However, there is also a very important intermediate domain of size that spans from the diameter of a small cluster of atoms up to near one micrometer which may also have just as profound effects on society as “big” physics.

One of the most important requirements for a high-performance EM, especially an analytical EM using a fine beam probe, is to prevent specimen contamination by providing a clean high vacuum in the vicinity of the specimen. However, in almost all commercial EMs, the pressure in the vicinity of the specimen under observation is usually more than ten times higher than the pressure measured at the punping line. The EM column inevitably requires the use of greased Viton O-rings for fine movement, and specimens and films need to be exchanged frequently and several attachments may also be exchanged. For these reasons, a high speed pumping system, as well as a clean vacuum system, is now required. A newly developed electron microscope, the JEM-100CX features clean high vacuum in the vicinity of the specimen, realized by the use of a CASCADE type diffusion pump system which has been essentially improved over its predeces- sorD employed on the JEM-100C.
