A mixed-signal platform dedicated to power system dynamic computation

Maher Kayal, Sidi-Rachid Cherkaoui, Cédric Meinen, Laurent Fabre, Ira Nagel

has already been proven that analog emulation overcomes the speed limits of numerical simulators by means of a simple fixed-topology prototype. In order to enhance the modularity and the size of the emulated power system a dedicated platform based on a fie ...

DRAM Based on Hysteresis in Impact Ionization Single-Transistor-Latch

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Maher Kayal, Didier Bouvet, Kirsten Emilie Moselund, Vincent Pott, Cédric Meinen

This work reports on memory applications of punch-through impact ionization single-transistor latch (PIMOS), showing abrupt current switching (3-10mV/dec.) as well as hysteresis in both ID(VDS) and ID(VGS). A capacitor-less 1PIMOS - 1 MOSFET DRAM memory is ...

Punch-through impact ionization MOSFET (PIMOS): From device principle to applications

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Maher Kayal, Didier Bouvet, Kirsten Emilie Moselund, Vincent Pott, Cédric Meinen

In the present work a punch-through impact ionization MOSFET (PIMOS) is presented, which exploits impact ionization in low-doped body-tied [Omega]- and tri-gate structures to obtain abrupt switching (3-10 mV/decade) combined with a hysteresis in the ID(VDS ...

Double gate movable body Micro-Electro-Mechanical FET as hysteretic switch: Application to data transmission systems

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Maher Kayal, Cédric Meinen, Dimitrios Tsamados, Daniel Grogg, Hüseyin Cumhur Tekin

This paper reports on the fabrication, experimental characterization and data transmission application of a double-gate movable body FET. As its name suggests, the proposed movable-body Micro-Electro-Mechanical FET (MB-MEMFET) is a hybrid MEMS-semiconducto ...

A dynamic supply CMOS RF power amplifier for 2.4GHz and 5.2GHz frequency bands

Maher Kayal, Cédric Meinen

An implementation of a dynamic supply RF power amplifier (PA) in 0.11 mu m CMOS technology occupying a total area of 1.35mm(2) is presented. Two-tone measurement results at 2.4 and 5.2GHz show that the system can deliver over 16dBm linear output power with ...
