A low-power and low-jitter 1.2 GHz Integer-N PLL (INPLL) is designed in a 65 nm standard CMOS process. A novel high-gain sampling phase detector (PD), which takes advantage of a transconductance (Gm) cell to boost the gain, is developed to increase t...

A low-power delay-locked loop (DLL)-based frequency multiplier is presented. The multiplier is designed in 22 nm FDSOI and achieves 8× multiplication. The proposed DLL uses a new simple duty cycle correction circuit and is XOR logic-based for f...

Digital filtering is a fundamental technique in digital signal processing, which operates on a digital sequence without any information on how the sequence was generated. This paper proposes a methodology for designing the equivalent of digital filte...

This paper provides a short review of sustainable hybrid energy harvesting and its applications. The potential usage of self-powered wireless sensor (WSN) systems has recently drawn a lot of attention to sustainable energy harvesting. The objective o...

The electrooculogram (EOG) is one of the most significant signals carrying eye movement information, such as blinks and saccades. There are many human–computer interface (HCI) applications based on eye blinks. For example, the detection of eye...

A current-balancing circuit for a dual-channel Ethernet power supply system is designed in this paper, which can be used to solve the mismatch between the two channels caused by unavoidable factors, such as mismatched resistances, temperatures and vo...

In this manuscript, we propose a configurable hardware device in order to build a coherent data log unit. We address the need for analyzing mixed-criticality systems, thus guaranteeing the best performances without introducing additional sources of i...

The design of analog computing systems requires significant human resources and domain expertise due to the lack of automation tools to enable these highly energy-efficient, high-performance computing nodes. This work presents the first automated too...

Across the globe, COVID-19 had far-reaching impacts that included healthcare facilities, public health, as well as all forms of transport. Hospitals were experiencing staffing shortages at the same time as patients were experiencing healthcare issues...

Domain-specific systems on chip (DSSoCs) aim to narrow the gap between general-purpose processors and application-specific designs. CPU clusters enable programmability, whereas hardware accelerators tailored to the target domain minimize task executi...
