Design and performance of the South Pole Acoustic Test Setup

Mathieu Ribordy

The South Pole Acoustic Test Setup (SPATS) was built to evaluate the acoustic characteristics of the South Pole ice in the 10-100 kHz frequency range, for the purpose of assessing the feasibility of an acoustic neutrino detection array at the South Pole. T ...

Digital Suppression of Spurious PLL Tones in A/D Converters

Ali H. Sayed

In a nonideal PLL circuit, leakage of the reference signal into the control line produces spurious tones. When the distorted PLL signal is used in an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), it injects the spurious tones into the sampled data. These distortions ...

Low material budget microfabricated cooling devices for particle detectors and front-end electronics

Philippe Renaud, Alessandro Mapelli, Harald Van Lintel

Novel cooling systems with very low material budget are being fabricated and studied. They consist of silicon wafers in which microchannels are etched and closed by bonding another wafer. This cooling option is being considered for future HEP detectors of ...

Circuit Level Modeling Methodology of Parasitic Substrate Current Injection from a High-Voltage H-bridge at High Temperature

Maher Kayal, Jean-Michel Sallese, Fabrizio Lo Conte

In this paper, a modeling methodology is validated based on an enhanced model of the diode, that we have developed to simulate substrate current coupling mechanisms on a typical H -bridge structure. An equivalent schematic based on an enhanced model of the ...

Regenerative Circuits for Rapid Biosensing

Giovanni De Micheli, Carlotta Guiducci

Integrated DNA-sensor arrays typically check for probe-target strand hybridization by analyzing the sensed capacitance changes, normally off-chip in software. However,many applications like portable medical devices require only the detection of an event or ...

Methodology for the Digital Calibration of Analog Circuits and Systems Using Sub-binary Radix DACs

Maher Kayal, Marc Pastre

This paper presents a methodology for digitally calibrating analog circuits and systems. Based on the detection of an imperfection by a simple comparator, a successive approximations algorithm tunes a compensation current. The latter is generated by a sub- ...

Ferroelectric transistors with improved characteristics at high temperature

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Nava Setter, Igor Stolichnov, Didier Bouvet, Livio Lattanzio, Giovanni Antonio Salvatore

We report on the temperature dependence of ferroelectric metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) transistors and explain the observed improved characteristics based on the dielectric response of ferroelectric materials close to the Curie temperature. The hystereti ...

A circuit-level substrate current model for smart-power ICs

Maher Kayal, Jean-Michel Sallese, François Krummenacher, Marc Pastre, Fabrizio Lo Conte

This paper presents a new modeling methodology accounting for generation and propagation of minority carriers that can be used directly in circuit-level simulators in order to estimate coupled parasitic currents. The method is based on a new compact model ...
