This work proposes a truly compact MOSFET model that contains only four parameters to assist an integrated circuits (IC) designer in a design by hand. The four-parameter model (4PM) is based on the advanced compact MOSFET (ACM) model and was implemen...
Large-scale field-programmable analog arrays (FPAA) have the potential to handle machine inference and learning applications with significantly low energy requirements, potentially alleviating the high cost of these processes today, even in cloud-bas...
Increasing processing requirements in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) realm has led to the emergence of domain-specific architectures for Deep Neural Network (DNN) applications. Tensor Processing Unit (TPU), a DNN accelerator by Google, has emerged...
The Null Convention Logic (NCL) based asynchronous design technique has interested researchers because this technique had overcome disadvantages of the synchronous technique, such as noise, glitches, clock skew and power. However, using the NCL-based...
Object detection is an essential component of many systems used, for example, in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) or advanced video surveillance systems (AVSS). Currently, the highest detection accuracy is achieved by solutions using deep co...
With the computational systems of even embedded devices becoming ever more powerful, there is a need for more effective and pro-active methods of dynamic power management. The work presented in this paper demonstrates the effectiveness of a reinforce...
This paper investigates the energy savings that near-subthreshold processors can obtain in edge AI applications and proposes strategies to improve them while maintaining the accuracy of the application. The selected processors deploy adaptive voltage...
In this paper, we propose a fully standard-cell-based common-mode feedback (CMFB) loop with an explicit voltage reference to improve the CMRR of pseudo-differential standard-cell-based amplifiers and to stabilize the dc output voltage. This latter fe...
Consolidating tasks to a smaller number of electronic control units (ECUs) is an important strategy for optimizing costs and resources in the automotive industry. In our research, we aim to enable ECU consolidation by migrating tasks at runtime betwe...
With increasing interest in multi-core systems, such as any communication systems, infra-structures can become targets for information leakages via covert channel communication. Covert channel attacks lead to leaking secret information and data. To d...
Recent advances in computing allows researchers to propose the automation of hydroponic systems to boost efficiency and reduce manpower demands, hence increasing agricultural produce and profit. A completely automated hydroponic system should be equi...
Accelerated simulations of biological neural networks are in demand to discover the principals of biological learning. Novel many-core simulation platforms, e.g., SpiNNaker, BrainScaleS and Neurogrid, allow one to study neuron behavior in the brain a...
This manuscript provides a comprehensive tutorial on the operating principles of a bio-inspired Cellular Nonlinear Network, leveraging the local activity of NbO
Artificial intelligence (A.I.) has revolutionised a wide range of human activities, including the accelerated development of autonomous vehicles. Self-navigating delivery robots are recent trends in A.I. applications such as multitarget object detect...
This work studies two circuit topologies to step-up the voltage supplied by an organic photovoltaic (OPV) cell. Comparison and validation of the proposed topologies are accomplished throughout analytical, simulation, and experimental results. Two cir...
To mitigate the trade-off between gain and bandwidth of CMOS multistage amplifiers, a receiver front-end (FE) that employs a high-gain narrowband transimpedance amplifier (TIA) followed by an equalizing main amplifier (EMA) is proposed. The EMA provi...
