Medication safety administration is a complicated process involving the information of patients, drugs, and data storage. The sensitive data transmitted through wireless sensor networks (WSNs) from Internet of things (IoT) over an insecure channel is...

In this work, a multi-independent-output, multi-string, high-efficiency, boost-converter-based white LED (WLED) driver architecture is proposed. It utilizes a single inductor main switch with a common maximum duty cycle controller (MDCC) in the feedb...

IoT designers face the dual complexity of obtaining good application-level performance and user satisfaction under constraints on computing and power resources. We introduce a new IoT device for paper roll supply management in bathrooms and kitchens,...

Computational methods in memory array are being researched in many emerging memory technologies to conquer the ‘von Neumann bottleneck’. Resistive RAM (ReRAM) is a non-volatile memory, which supports Boolean logic operation, and adders ca...

Data collection is one of the most relevant topics of modern automation and industry. It is usually a costly and time-consuming task, especially in continuous processes. Our case study takes place in a sugar cane mill. The required continuous operati...

The elliptic curve cryptosystem (ECC) has been proven to be vulnerable to non-invasive side-channel analysis attacks, such as timing, power, visible light, electromagnetic emanation, and acoustic analysis attacks. In ECC, the scalar multiplication co...

This paper presents a novel implementation of a digital-based Operational Transconductance Amplifier (OTA) which has been recently introduced in the technical literature as a fully digital alternative to the conventional differential pair to implemen...

This paper describes the design methodology and calibration technique for a low-power digital pulse width modulation demodulator to enhance its robustness against the process, voltage, and temperature variations in different process corners, in addit...

In this paper, a new technique for improvement on the DC voltage gain, while keeping the high-linearity in symmetrical operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) bulk-driven (BD) topology is proposed. These features are achieved by allying two topo...

Today’s on-chip systems technology has grounded impressive advances in computing power and energy consumption. The choice of the right architecture depends on the application. In our case, we were studying vegetation monitoring algorithms in precisio...

A two-stage CMOS transconductance amplifier based on the inverter topology, suitable for very low supply voltages and exhibiting rail-to-rail output capability is presented. The solution consists of the cascade of a noninverting and an inverting stag...

Emerging Non-Volatile Memories (NVMs) such as Magnetic RAM (MRAM), Spin-Transfer Torque RAM (STTRAM), Phase Change Memory (PCM) and Resistive RAM (RRAM) are very promising due to their low (static) power operation, high scalability and high performan...
