Recently, an efficient damped pseudo transient analysis method was proposed to find DC solutions for nonlinear circuits. However, the simulation efficiency is still not satisfactory. In this paper, for different kinds of circuits, we get some groups of PTRAN algorithm control parameters values by using a parameter optimization algorithm for pseudo-transient analysis to obtain higher efficiency during...
This study offers a fully automatic BBN-ANFIS-based model of online condition monitoring system for a resilient MEG using FPGA chips. A direct connection of a FPGA-ZedBoard with on-field sensors is proposed in this study. The design enables real-time concurrent measurements of MEG's fault diagnosis assessment by mean of a hybrid BBN and ANFIS based model. The BBN capable to form a consistent function...
Microgrids are a growing trend toward a new power distribution system that allows for a high penetration of renewable distributed generation, electrical energy storage systems and controllable loads. This modern concept exploits the advances in electronic technology to improve efficiency, reliability, and flexibility, while reducing cost and size. Furthermore, microgrids can operate in a grid-connected...
A model control and a filter suppressing oscillation of the output voltage that can obtain the stable output voltage of a dc-dc converter have been proposed previous. Although there is a problem that the condition on the input side of dc-dc converter is changed when it connects the load equipment to renewable energy generators through the DC bus, since the renewable energy generators are sometimes...
Most existing concepts for hardware implementation of reversible computing invoke an adiabatic computing paradigm, in which individual degrees of freedom (e.g., node voltages) are synchronously transformed under the influence of externally- supplied driving signals. But distributing these "power/clock" signals to all gates within a design while efficiently recovering their energy is difficult...
Adiabatic logic is an alternative architecture design style to reduce the power consumption of digital cores by using AC power supply instead of DC ones. The energy saving of the digital gates is strongly related to the efficiency of adiabatic AC power supplies. In this paper, we propose a resonant reversible power-clock supply design with four different phases. The resonance deviation between the...
The physical constraints underlying the concept of quantum circuit are considered. In particular it is shown that the point of departure for their modeling starts from the interconnection of the components into a classical network, followed by quantization of the latter, and not by the interconnection of already quantized components. The procedure is straightforward for lossless networks but cannot...
In this paper, we present an on-sensor neuromorphic vision hardware implementation of denoising spatial filter. The mean or median spatial filters with fixed window shape are known for its denoising ability, however, have the drawback of blurring the object edges. The effect of blurring increases with increase in window size. To preserve the edge information, we propose a spatial filter that uses...
Reliability testing has become extremely important in modern electronics as the soft error rate has been increasing due to technology scaling. The testing must be controllable, generic, done before deployment, cheap, and fast. Even though fault injection is often the most appropriate solution considering these requirements, it is very time-consuming. This work proposes a hybrid fault injection framework...
This paper studies the stability and stabilization of switched Boolean networks (SBNs) with impulsive effects. The dynamics of SBNs with impulsive effects is converted to an algebraic form, based on which, some criteria are presented for the stability of SBNs with impulsive effects. These conditions include the arbitrary switching signal case and the state feedback switching signal case. In addition,...
Recent experimental work has demonstrated nano- textured magnetic Josephson junctions (MJJs) that exhibit tunable spiking behavior with ultra-low training energies in the attojoule range. MJJ devices integrated with standard single-flux-quantum neural systems form a new class of neuromorphic technologies that have spiking energies between attojoules and zeptojoules, operation frequencies up to 100...
In this paper, we study the problem of using representation learning to assist information diffusion prediction on graphs. In particular, we aim at estimating the probability of an inactive node to be activated next in a cascade. Despite the success of recent deep learning methods for diffusion, we find that they often underexplore the cascade structure. We consider a cascade as not merely a sequence...
The blooming availability of traces for social, biological, and communication networks opens up unprecedented opportunities in analyzing diffusion processes in networks. However, the sheer sizes of the nowadays networks raise serious challenges in computational efficiency and scalability. In this paper, we propose a new hyper-graph sketching framework for influence dynamics in networks. The core of...
The Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) are widely adopted in residential and commercial sector. This adoption is proposed following the energy conservation and environmental protection efforts. Despite, the CFLs consume low power, many users using these loads can cause a harmonic impact depending of the Attenuation-Amplification Effect. For instance, if this Effect is neglected (e.g., using Harmonic...
This paper proposes an equivalent model of the coupling capacitance between TSVs and adjacent RDL. Based on the scalar potential integral equation and cylindrical accumulation mode basis functions, an efficient method of extracting the coupling capacitance is present. The scalability of the proposed model is verified by simulation and our results show that an accuracy of 10% is achieved from the analytic...
In order to analyze non-sinusoidal modes of power supply systems, an accurate determination of parameters for these modes is required. Effective values of currents and voltages are among these parameters. The work is based on the wavelet transform, which allows the values for these parameters depending on each harmonic component to be accurately defined without losing data in the time domain. The...
More than eighty different test environments need to be created and maintained for debugging the Marvell Ethernet PHY chip if the traditional industrial verification methodology is being used. This can easily incite very complicated debugging procedures and cause the problems and concerns of a multitude of engineering resources. The latest Marvell Ethernet PHY IC UVM verification platform integrating...
A novel radiation hardened 12T memory cell (RH-12T) is proposed to address single event upset (SEU) problems in 65nm CMOS technology. It eliminates the possibility of a sensitive “0” storage node upset by surrounding the output nodes with NMOS, realizing a full resistance for any single node upset. Furthermore, less sensitive node pairs are obtained in circuit design compared to the DICE cell, which...
We have proposed a power supply circuit and an electrical interconnect test method based on charge volume supplied from the power supply circuit. We optimize the supply circuit so as for small resistive open defects that occur at interconnects among dies in 3D stacked ICs to be detected by the test method. We examine what resistive open defects can be detected with the optimized power supply circuit...
In this work a model of the oscillator with inductive coupling of the gates operating at ultralow voltage is presented and experimentally verified. The topology needs a bias voltage at the gates, and we propose a circuit called starting block to generate this voltage from the supply. Theoretical behavior is compared with experimental results, showing good agreement. The circuit, which behaves as astable...
