Power and area optimised Bitcoin miner engine

The eSi-BTC core is a Bitcoin miner engine that perform double SHA256 Hash.

Overview

The eSi-BTC core is a Bitcoin miner engine that perform double SHA256 Hash. It is design to deliver best in class silicon area and power for the next generation of low energy Bitcoin minder ASICs. .

To improve power performance instead of search for a valid Nonce the eSi-BTC search for a Nonce candidate. This simplification demands that the Nonce candidate must be checked outside the engine. This allows a reduction in the number of rounds performed in the second Hash.

Key features

  • Fully pipelined architecture.
  • Optimized to minimise the area and power.
  • Support to use multiples cores in parallel
  • Synthesisable System Verilog
  • In 6nm FinFet technology the energy efficiency is 40 J/THash at 0.585v core voltage.

A Comprehensive Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Solution based on Physical Unclonable Function (PUF)

This article provides an in-depth analysis of the specific PPA challenges introduced by PQC and elucidates how PUF-PQC leverages its unique dualtrack strategy to deliver a robust and flexible Hardware Root of Trust (HRoT) across diverse application scenarios. Furthermore, it demonstrates the integration of Physical Unclonable Function (PUF) with a NIST SP 800-90B compliant True Random Number Generator (TRNG) to serve as critical components of PUFrt (Root of Trust), ensuring the security of post-quantum key generation starting from the entropy source.

Accelerating RTL Design with Agentic AI: A Multi-Agent LLM-Driven Approach

In today’s fast-paced silicon industry, hardware design is under constant pressure to innovate, iterate, and ship faster. Traditional Register Transfer Level (RTL) design processes—though foundational—are time-consuming, error-prone, and heavily reliant on manual expertise. With growing design complexity and shrinking time-to-market, the need for automation in digital design is more critical than ever.

LTE Single Carrier DFT: Faster Circuits with Reduced FPGA LUT/Register Usage

Given the prominence of the LTE protocol in wireless devices, it is surprising that there are very few DFT FPGA circuit implementations from which to choose. This is likely due to the complexity of the circuit, which must accommodate run-time choice of many and large non-power-of-two transforms, requiring multiple radices for efficient DFT calculation.

FPGA Implementation of DLX Microprocessor With WISHBONE SoC Bus

DLX is an open source microprocessor, it’s free and it has never been implemented in a commercial ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) design. The objective of this project is to use the DLX microprocessor implemented with Wishbone bus interface for a SoC (System-on-Chip) design.
