Microprocessors are traditionally designed to provide “best overall” performance across a wide range of applications and operating environments. Several groups have proposed hardware techniques that save energy by “downsizing” hardware resources that are u ...
Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) are heterogeneous by nature as they may integrate digital, analog, RF hardware as well as software components or non electrical parts such as sensors or actuators. The increasing level of complexity for designing SoCs in a reasonable ...
This thesis is at the crossroad between Natural Language Processing (NLP) and digital circuit design. It aims at delivering a custom hardware coprocessor for accelerating natural language parsing. The coprocessor has to parse real-life natural language and ...
We present a new two-axis fluxgate magnetometer fully integrated in CMOS technology. The magnetometer exhibits excellent sensitivity of 2700 V/T and the magnetic equivalent noise spectral density of 6nT/√Hz at 1 Hz. The total power consumption is as low as ...
SystemC will become more and more important for the design of digital circuits from the specification down to the RT-Level. Complex systems often contain analog components. This paper introduces concepts for the extension of the SystemC methodology for the ...
In this article, we introduce the approach to the realization of ontogenetic development and fault tolerance that will be implemented in the POEtic tissue, a novel reconfigurable digital circuit dedicated to the realization of bio-inspired systems. The mode ...
The paper presents an inductive proximity sensor with fully integrated electronics. The sensor with the compact hybrid configuration is composed of a sensing flat coil and an integrated electronic interface. The sensor exhibits a longitudinal resolution of ...
The implementation of bio-inspired systems in hardware has traditionally been more a matter of artistry than of method. The reasons are multiple, but one of the main problems has always been the lack of a universal platform, of a standardized architecture, ...
Tuning and high frequency capabilities and dynamic range performance of continuous-time oscillators and filters, using the weak inversion operation mode of a low-cost conventional 0.5 μm CMOS technology and multi-tanh linearisation technique are examined. ...
We developed high-density microfluidic chips that contain plumbing networks with thousands of micromechanical valves and hundreds of individually addressable chambers. These fluidic devices are analogous to electronic integrated circuits fabricated using l ...
