A new circuit style is proposed to tune the delay, subthreshold leakage (ISUB), and gate leakage (IG) of high fan-in multiplexer circuits, such as the FPGA Look-Up Table (LUT) and Switch-Box (SB), without increasing the Gate Induced Drain Leakage (GIDL) cu ...
The impact of supply voltage scaling on the retention time of a 2-transistor (2T) gain-cell (GC) storage array is investigated, in order to enable low-power/low-voltage data storage. The retention time can be increased when scaling down the supply voltage ...
Minimally invasive monitoring of the electrical activity of specific cortical areas using implantable microsystems offers the promise of diagnosing neurological diseases, as well as detecting and identifying neural activity patterns which are specific to a ...
This paper presents a fully integrated, ultra-low power microsystem that is used for hydrogen gas sensing in an autonomous wireless sensor node. The proposed circuit harvests solar energy from a micro-power photovoltaic module to measure temperature and hy ...
In view of the Large Hadrons Collider experiments upgrade, where the inner front-end electronics will require higher supply power, a new power distribution scheme has to be designed. This thesis presents a new and more efficient scheme based on step-down D ...
Over the recent decades, the balance between increasing the complexity of computer chips and simultaneously reducing cost per bit has been accommodated by down-scaling. While extremely successful in the past, this approach now faces grave limitations leadi ...
A major change in the electrical transmission and distribution system is taking place in Europe at the moment. The shift from a centralised energy production to a distributed generation profoundly changes the behaviour of the grid. Environmental or social ...
In ultra-low-power (ULP) applications, the supply voltage is generally reduced well below threshold voltage of MOS devices in order to limit dissipation and to control the device leakage current due to the subthreshold channel residual current. However, re ...
