The design and simulation of a single-electron OR/NOR gate is being presented using a Monte Carlo based tool. Both the OR/NOR behavior and the stability were verified while the free energy behavior of the circuit was also examined. The results confirmed that the circuit behaved as an OR/NOR gate, depicting improved characteristics than previously published single electron OR circuits, achieving a...
The paper presents a detailed study on the idle leakage reduction techniques on partially depleted silicon-on-insulator (PD-SOI) CMOS SRAM. The most promising leakage reduction techniques that have been proposed are introduced, analyzed and compared into 65 nm low-power PD-SOI technology, taking into account all the SOI specific effect. Especially, it is shown that the leakage reduction techniques...
Data retention power gating is a commonly used method for leakage reduction in deep submicron SRAM. However, application of such methods result into reduced stability of the SRAM bitcell. Moreover, reducing supply voltage and increasing process variation put a limitation on such usage in deep submicron processes. Present scheme describes a method to enhance stability while applying such data retention...
This paper presents an innovative structure based on 3 dimensional integration technology, where ultra thin inter layer dielectric enables a dynamic threshold voltage (VTH) control. A sequential process flow is proposed to fabricate 3D devices with dynamically tunable VTH. This ability can be exploited to design SRAMs cells with increased stability and surface density compared to planar technology...
Class D amplifiers are becoming the most feasible solution for embedded audio application. However, distortions due to the non-linear nature of switching stage are the main drawback for this amplifier topology. This paper discusses the design and implementation of high fidelity audio class D using sliding mode control scheme. This design method proves to be a cost effective solution for industrial...
Advances in micromachining technology can facilitate the integration of SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) devices and CMOS circuitry on IC scale substrate for Monolithic fabrication. The optimal design and performance of these filters can be reached by using new Smart materials. The key component in the structure of the SAW device is the piezoelectric materials used which depends mainly on some important...
The paper presents the design and implementation of input/output interface circuits, fully compatible with low-voltage differential signal (LVDS) standard. Due to the low voltage differential transmission technique, the low power consumption and high transmission speed are achieved at the same time. The transmitter is implemented by a closed-loop control circuit and an internal bandgap voltage reference,...
