This article explores the main tradeoffs in design of power and area efficient bandgap voltage reference (BGR) circuits. A structural design methodology for optimizing the silicon area and power dissipation of CMOS BGRs will be introduced. For this purpose ...
Time of flight (TOF) measurements in positron emission tomography (PET) are very challenging in terms of timing performance, and should achieve ideally less than 100ps FWHM precision. We present a time-based differential technique to read out SiPMs that ha ...
Design and optimization of a simple but efficient operational amplifier (OA) for switched-capacitor finite impulse response (SC FIR) filters are presented. The main design criteria are: proper characteristics for application in SC FIR filters, simplicity o ...
This research work deals with the design of linear CMOS RF power amplifiers. Two important aspects are treated: efficiency enhancement and frequency-tunable capability. For this purpose, two different integrated circuits were realized in a 0.11 µm technolo ...
This article explores the effect of using source follower buffers (SFB) at the output of source coupled logic (SCL) circuits. This technique can help to improve the power-delay product (PDP) in an SCL gate by a factor close to two. The proposed approach ha ...
Typical Low Dropout Voltage regulators (LDO), uses an error amplifier in a linear closed loop. The main advantage of such linear regulators is the low standby current due to the absence of switching. In addition, a fully integrated linear regulator with no ...
This article presents a power-efficient and low-voltage CMOS output driver circuit based on low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) standard. To reduce the ringing at the output of the proposed driver circuit and simultaneously keep the power consumption ...
In this paper we present Matlab analysis as well as CMOS implementation of an analog current mode Kohonen neural network (KNN). The presented KNN has been realized using several building blocks proposed earlier by the authors, such as: binary tree winner t ...
Ultra low power circuits are in high demand in many applications especially in wireless sensor networks (WSN), where energy is scavenged from environment. WSN systems contain different blocks, such as: sensors, filters, analog-to-digital converters, very o ...
We present a concept of "active material" with variable acoustic properties, being constituted of an electroacoustic transducer which acoustic impedance can be changed by an active mean. Among the different ways to obtain variable acoustic properties on an ...
