The design, fabrication and characterization of Micro-electro-mechanical metal-air-insulator-semiconductor (MEM-MAIS) diode switch are originally reported. An abrupt switching from off-state to Fowler-Nordheim tunneling current in on-state is induced by th ...
Multilevel voltage source inverters where first introduced in the early 1980s. Since then, they have been continuously developed, offering a wide new research area in power electronics. The popularity of multilevel solutions come from the advantages that t ...
An experimental study of the dc breakdown voltage for planar MEMS interdigitated aluminum electrodes with gaps ranging from 10 to 500 micron is presented. Unlike most research on the breakdown in MEMS electrodes that was performed at atmospheric pressure, ...
In many Systems on Chips (SoCs), the cores are clustered in to voltage islands. When cores in an island are unused, the entire island can be shutdown to reduce the leakage power consumption. However, today, the interconnect architecture is a bottleneck in ...
In this paper a novel architecture for an integrated NMR receiver front-end for surgical guidance applications is described. While the chip consumes only 9 mA supply current from a 3.3 V power supply it has a measured input referred noise density of 0.7 nV ...

A new odd-order frequency multiplier topology is demonstrated in this work that uses a subharmonic mixer to realize a frequency tripler. A feedforward circuit is used for fundamental cancellation at the output and eliminates the need for filtering structur ...

Cutting-edge CMOS neurochips, which consist of a Microelectrode Array (MEA) manufactured on top of CMOS circuitry, allow the recording of the electrical activity of neural networks in-vitro, and their stimulation. As CMOS technology continues to scale down ...
We present the first CMOS-only receiver chip for NMR-applications at 300 MHz. The system consists of an on-chip reception coil, a tuning-capacitor, a downconversion-mixer and a low-frequency gain-stage as well as biasing and offset-compensation circuitry. ...

This paper proposes a novel multilevel Power Electronics Building Block (PEBB) for the 5 level ANPC multilevel voltage source inverter [7]. The PEBB is composed of 6 switches in a crossed configuration [8] and one capacitor. It is common to the 3 phases of ...
In this paper a novel architecture for an integrated receiver front-end for micro magnetic resonance imaging (micro-MRI) applications is described. While the chip consumes only 9mA supply current (4mA in the LNA and 5mA in the output buffer) from a 33V pow ...
