IoT applications revolutionize industries by enhancing operations, enabling data-driven decisions, and fostering innovation. This study explores the growing potential of IoT-based facial recognition for mobile devices, a technology rapidly advancing...

A split-voltage amplifier architecture is proposed which improves the power efficiency compared to a conventional implementation. The approach is verified with a prototype fabricated in 0.35 µm CMOS technology using lateral bipolar input transi...

Voltage stacking is a technique in which multiple integrated circuits are stacked in series between the supply voltage instead of in parallel, thus improving the energy efficiency of the power distribution network. Unfortunately, voltage stacking pre...

Current sensors play a vital role in power systems, industrial production, smart devices and other fields, which can provide critical current information in the systems for the safety and efficiency managements. The development of magneto-resistive e...

Time–frequency analysis is critical in studying linear and non-linear signals that exhibit variations across both time and frequency domains. Such analysis not only facilitates the identification of transient events and extraction of key featur...

Estimation of power consumption in digital circuits is performed at gate-level simulation. Its accuracy depends on the models of gate delays that capture the effects of spurious signal transitions, called “glitches”. Electronic Design Aut...

A low-power, low-voltage universal multi-mode Gm-C filter using a 180 nm TSMC technology node is presented in this paper. The proposed filter employs only three transconductance operational amplifiers (OTAs) operating in the sub-threshold region with...

An approach to design analog building blocks based on digital standard cells is presented in this work. By ensuring that every CMOS inverter from a standard-cell library operates with a well-defined quiescent current and output voltage, the suggested...

In this work, we introduce the design of a 16-channel in-pixel neural analog front end that employs a current-based summing approach to establish a common-mode feedback loop. The primary aim of this novel structure is to enhance both the system commo...

Chopper and capacitively coupled techniques are employed in instrumentation amplifiers to create capacitively coupled chopper instrumentation amplifiers (CCIAs) that obtain a high noise power efficiency. However, the CCIA has some disadvantages due t...

This study describes a high-performance second-generation Current Conveyor (CCII) operating at 0.35 V and achieving rail-to-rail operation at the Y terminal and class AB current drive at the X and Z terminals. The solution utilizes a low-voltage subt...

We investigate emergent conductive phenomena triggered by collinear antiferromagnetic orderings. We show that an up-down-zero spin configuration in a triangle cluster leads to linear and nonlinear spin conductivities even without the relativistic spi...

Adiabatic logic has been proposed as a method for drastically reducing power consumption in specialized low-power circuits. They often require specialized clock drivers that also function as the main power supply, in contrast to standard CMOS logic,...
