Embedded systems are deployed in security critical environments and have become a prominent target for remote attacks. Microcontroller-based systems (MCUS) are particularly vulnerable due to a combination of limited resources and low level programming whic ...
Power analysis attacks are an effective tool to extract sensitive information using side-channel analysis, forming a serious threat to IoT systems-on-a-chip (SoCs). Embedded memories implemented with conventional 6T SRAM macrocells often dominate the area ...
The capability to process high-resolution videos in real-time is becoming more important in a wide variety of applications such as autonomous vehicles, virtual reality or intelligent surveillance systems. The high-accuracy and complex video processing algo ...
Embedded DRAM (eDRAM) requires frequent power-hungry refresh according to the worst-case retention time across PVT variations to avoid data loss. Abandoning the error-free paradigm, by choosing sub-critical refresh rates that gracefully degrade the eDRAM c ...
FPGA routing is one of the most time-consuming steps of FPGA compilation, often preventing fast edit-compile-test cycles in prototyping and development. There have been attempts to accelerate FPGA routing using algorithmic improvements, multi-core or multi ...
As an increase of intelligent and self-powered devices is forecasted for our future everyday life, the implementation of energy-autonomous devices that can wirelessly communicate data from sensors is crucial. Even though techniques such as voltage scaling ...
Cellular checkerboard patterns are observed at many stages of embryonic development. We study an analytically tractable model for lateral inhibition and show that the steady states are analogous to optical phonons at the Gamma point, which have the wave nu ...
Embedded memories, mostly implemented with static random access memory (SRAM), dominate the area and power of integrated circuits. Gain-cell embedded DRAM (GC-eDRAM) is an alternative to SRAM due to its high density, low power consumption, and two-ported f ...
A gain-cell embedded DRAM (GC-eDRAM) is an attractive logic-compatible alternative to the conventional static random access memory (SRAM) for the implementation of embedded memories, as it offers higher density, lower leakage, and two-ported operation. How ...
Smart health monitoring devices, known as Wireless Body Sensor Nodes (WBSN) are transforming today's health-care landscape, shifting it from traditional hospital-based methods toward more personalized approaches. Their demand is ever-increasing in the mode ...
