Multi-bit sigma-delta based digital pulse width modulators (DPWM) are used in the control of DC-DC converters in order to achieve high resolution and therefore high output voltage accuracy at switching frequencies up to multiple MHz. The standard sigma-delta modulators which have mainly been used in these DPWMs to date generate idle tones in the applied duty cycle which result in large oscillations...
This paper presents measured results for a fourth order nested bus-splitting Error Feedback Modulator (EFM4) with dynamic element matching and a four-bit DAC. The nested bus-splitting EFM4 can run approximately 38% faster than a conventional EFM4 on a Xilinx Virtex 5, with negligible degradation in spectral performance.
This paper presents a stable 4th order mismatch shaping technique using vector feedback dynamic element matching (DEM). When combined with a multi-bit sigma delta modulator, this DEM system allows high resolution band pass signals to be produced, using a low resolution unary weighted DAC.
Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) systems generate adjustable high resolution phase and frequency signals that are used in a wide variety of applications such as multi-mode RF, communications, measurements and test. A high performance band-pass DAC architecture and implementation is presented that delivers high spectral purity over a narrow-band response. The low power DAC is portable to standard CMOS...
The E8 protein of BPV-4 contributes to transformation of primary bovine cells (PalFs) by inducing anchorage-independent growth and by down-regulating gap junction intercellular communication, likely due to its binding to 16K ductin. We show here that, in addition, E8 confers on PalF cells the ability to grow in low serum and to escape from contact inhibition (focus formation). E8 also transactivates...
It is clear that certain integrins can regulate the growth of tumors, probably by contributing to signal transduction processes. In the present study we have used HT29 human colon carcinoma cells stably transfected with human cDNA for the integrin α5 subunit and studied the effects of α5 expression on the induction of apoptosis. We observe that apoptosis can be triggered in HT29 cells by removal of...
