This paper presents a wideband approach for L5 and S-band integer-N phase-locked loop (PLL) targeting Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) applications. A reference spur reduction technique using a Gm−C filter is proposed. The re...

This paper addresses the design of ultra-wideband (UWB) impedance matching networks operating in the unlicensed 3.1–10.6 GHz frequency band for low-power applications. It improves the simplified real frequency technique (SRFT) by adding a reali...

In the industrial and sales processes, dosing systems of various constructions, whose operation is based on mechanical vibrations (vibratory feeders), are very often used. These systems face many problems, such as resonant frequency, flow instability...

This manuscript shows the CMOS design of Lorenz systems using operational transconductance amplifiers (OTAs). Two Lorenz systems are then synchronized in a master–slave topology and used to implement a CMOS secure communication system. The cont...

A novel low-power MOS-only voltage reference is presented. The Enz–Krummenacher–Vittoz (EKV) model is adopted to provide a new perspective on the operating principle. The normalized charge density, introduced as a new variable, serves as...

This paper is an extended version of a previously reported conference paper regarding a low-power design for NAND Flash. As the number of bits per NAND Flash die increases with cost scaling, the IO data path speed increases to minimize the page acces...

While wireless sensor node (WSNs) have proliferated with the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT), uniformly sampled analog–digital converters (ADCs) have traditionally reigned paramount in the signal processing pipeline. The large volume of da...

This work presents a novel trusted LC voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) with an embedded compact analog Physically Unclonable Function (PUF) used for authentication. The trusted VCO is implemented in a 1P9M 65 nm standard CMOS process and consumes...

In this work, we present an efficient Processing in MRAM-Accelerated De Bruijn Graph-based DNA Assembly platform, named PANDA, based on an optimized and hardware-friendly genome assembly algorithm. PANDA is able to assemble large-scale DNA sequence d...

Although Moore’s Law reaches its limits, it has never applied to analog and RF circuits. For example, due to the short channel effect (SCE), drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL), and sub-threshold slope (SS)…, longer transistors are req...
