Standard-Cell Based Memories (SCMs): from Sub-VT to Error-Resilient Systems

Andreas Peter Burg, Pascal Andreas Meinerzhagen

Embedded memories consume an increasingly dominant part of the overall area and power of a large variety of systems-on-chip [ITRS’09]: 1) biomedical implants and wireless sensor networks require robust memories operating in the sub-VT domain; 2) many handh ...

A Discrete-Components Impulse-Radio Ultrawide-Band (IR-UWB) Transmitter

Catherine Dehollain, Edmund James Colli-Vignarelli

We describe an impulse-radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) transmitter made with off-the-shelf discrete components. It was initially designed to be used in a UWB testbed for measurement and algorithm validation purposes. There already exist several versions of a ...

A discrete-components impulse-radio UWB Low-Noise Amplifier with voltage controlled-gain

Catherine Dehollain, Edmund James Colli-Vignarelli

We describe an Ultra-Wide Band Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA) with a variable gain that works in the 4.0 GHz to 4.5 GHz frequency range and is made with off-the-shelf discrete components. This LNA has a 30 dB variable gain and a noise figure of 2.2 dB. It was i ...

Compiling custom instructions onto expression-grained reconfigurable architectures

Giovanni Ansaloni

While customizable processors aim at combining the flexibility of general purpose processors with the speed and power advantages of custom circuits, commercially available processors are often limited by the inability to reconfigure the application-specifi ...

A new interconnect-centric design methodology for high-speed standard cells with crosstalk immunity

Ilhan Hatirnaz

One of the biggest challenges that are facing the Very Large Scale Integrated Circuits (VLSI) technologies today is the significant performance gap (3× to 9×) between full custom circuits and Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) designed in the ...

MICRON: Small Autonomous Robot for Cell Manipulation Applications

Jean-Marc Breguet, Walter Driesen

Manipulating in the micro- or even nano world still poses a great challenge to robotics. Conventional (stationary) systems suffer from drawbacks regarding integration into process supervision and multi-robot approaches, which become highly relevant to figh ...

High-throughput surface patterning with wafer-sized stencils fabricated by a DUV/MEMS process

Jürgen Brugger, Marc Antonius Friedrich van den Boogaart

The endeavour to develop nanodevices demands for patterning methods in the nanometer scale. The continuous improvement in lithography methods based on deep UV (DUV), X-ray, or electron beam exposure allow for further progress in integrated circuit hardware ...

Variable delay ripple carry adder with carry chain interrupt detection

Andreas Peter Burg

A statistical approach for the area efficient implementation of fast wide operand adders using early termination detection is described and analyzed. It is shown that high throughput can be achieved based on area- and routing-efficient ripple-carry adders ...
