Edge devices execute pre-trained Artificial Intelligence (AI) models optimized on large Graphical Processing Units (GPUs); however, they frequently require fine-tuning when deployed in the real world. This fine-tuning, referred to as edge learning, i...

In this paper, a NOR2 standard-cell-based dynamic comparator providing rail-to-rail input common mode range (ICMR) is presented, together with a novel standard-cell oriented design methodology. The proposed topology provides better speed performance...

Simple designs of current-mode quadrature oscillators are presented in this work. The main achievement, with regards to the literature, is the minimization of the required transistor count accomplished by the utilization of a suitable lossless integr...

In this work, a cylindrical gate-all-around junctionless field effect transistor (JLFET) was investigated. Junctions and doping concentration gradients are unavailable in JLFET. According to the results, the suggested device has a novel architecture...

Powering modern nanowatt sensors from omnipresent low-level kinetic energy: This study investigates the power levels produced by a varying-capacitance kinetic energy harvesting system. A model system consisting of a uniformly driven rotating capacito...

Large-scale computing clusters have been the basis of scientific progress for several decades and have now become a commodity fuelling the AI revolution. Dark Silicon, energy efficiency, power consumption, and hot spots are no longer looming threats...

This article introduces a novel digital-to-analog converter (DAC), which addresses a few weaknesses that a traditional capacitive DAC (CDAC) has, such as matching and parasitic capacitance-induced code dependency and a challenging bridge capacitor de...

Transformers have emerged as the central backbone architecture for modern generative AI. However, most ML applications targeting low-power, low-cost SoCs (TinyML apps) do not employ Transformers as these models are thought to be challenging to quanti...

This paper presents a novel transistor-level design of a modified second-generation voltage conveyor (VCII), which incorporates two differential current inputs (Y+ and Y−) and gives a voltage output at terminal X that mirrors the sum of these c...

Incorrect sensor readings can cause serious problems in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), potentially disrupting the operation of the entire system. As shown in the literature, they can arise from various reasons; therefore, addressing this issue has...
