This paper presents the design, realization and characterization of a new hybrid A/D converter based on a combined incremental and cyclic conversion. The proposed implementation offers a configurable resolution, and permits to share the same hardware for t ...
This paper presents a continuous voltage and frequency scaling approach achieving lower transition (both energy and time) overheads implied by changing voltage levels, at a very low power dissipation and silicon area cost for multi-processor systems with i ...
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 ...
A negative-feedback scheme is applied to the gain stage of RC and LC ring oscillators to extend the frequency tuning range and to enhance the maximum oscillation frequency, respectively. This can be achieved without penalties in power consumption, supply v ...
The problem of energy optimization in multi-core systems (such as single-chip multiprocessors) where the individual energy demands of various processing elements are governed by instantaneous workload requirements is well defined in literature. The signifi ...
Growing demand for the solid state meters for power and energy measurement leads to the fully integrated Hall sensor based microsystem solutions. In this paper we describe fully integrated SOI Hall sensor based microsystem for power and energy measurements ...
A micro power generator harvesting vibration energy by resonant inertial oscillation of a piezoelectric laminated cantilever with proof mass was designed, fabricated, and characterized. The active part with 2 pm thick PZT on 5 mu m silicon was equipped wit ...
