This paper presents a Class E zero-voltage soft-switching (ZVS) resonant inverter integrated with a CLC filter and a digital resonant frequency tracking technique for driving a piezoelectric ceramic transducer (PZT) in ultrasonic cleaning application...

This paper introduces a physical unclonable function (PUF) based on a differential array of minimum-sized PMOS devices. Each response bit is obtained by comparing the two analog outputs of the differential array through a dynamic comparator with a tr...

A ring-oscillator based voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) architecture with reduced frequency drift across temperature and process variations is presented in this paper. The frequency stability is achieved through two dedicated compensation techniq...

With the rapid growth of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and IoT users, spectrum resources are becoming increasingly scarce, making cognitive radio (CR) technology a key approach to improving spectrum utilization. However, traditional antennas are di...

For most, if not all, AI-accelerated hardware, communication with the agent is expensive and heavily bottlenecks the hardware performance. This omnipresent hardware restriction is also found in neuromorphic computing: a novel style of computing that...

At present, environmental pollution is becoming more and more serious, and the energy problem is becoming more prominent. Energy-braking recovery can collect the mechanical energy lost in the traditional braking process and convert it into electricit...

Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) have gained significant attention for their superior energy efficiency and are becoming a predominant mode of urban transportation. The DC/DC converter plays a critical role in HEV energy management systems, especially...

This paper presents a power-aware Reconfigurable Parameterizable Pseudorandom Pattern Generator (RP-PRPG) for a number of applications, including built in self-testing (BIST) and cryptography. Linear Feedback Shift Registers (LFSRs) are broadly utili...

Privacy-sensitive electricity scene classification requires robust models under data localization constraints, making federated learning (FL) a suitable framework. Existing FL frameworks face two critical challenges in multi-label electricity scene c...

Considering the challenges posed by traditional continuous control set model predictive control (CCS-MPC) calculations, this paper proposes an event-triggered-based model predictive control (ET-MPC). First, a novel tracking error state-space model is...

This study investigates the propagation characteristics and field distribution of photonic crystals composed of epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) materials and metal cylinders. The research reveals that the cutoff frequency of the photonic crystal formed by co...

Bipolar power supply can effectively reduce line losses and optimize power transmission. This paper proposes a low-power bipolar DC–DC converter with voltage self-balancing, which not only achieves bipolar output but also automatically balances...

XSPICE models for a generic transmission line, a microstrip line, and coupled microstrips are presented. The developed models extend general-purpose circuit simulation tools using RF circuits design features. The models could be used for circuit simu...

Split-shaft wind turbines decouple the turbine’s shaft from the generator’s shaft, enabling several modifications in the drivetrain. One of the significant achievements of a split-shaft drivetrain is the reduction in size of the excitatio...

This study presents a comprehensive performance evaluation of field-programmable gate array (FPGA), graphics processing unit (GPU), and central processing unit (CPU) platforms for implementing finite impulse response (FIR) filters in semiconductor-ba...

Coverage path planning solves the problem of moving an effector over all points within a specific region with effective routes. Most existing studies focus on geometric constraints, often overlooking robot-specific features, like the available energy...

The eGaN HEMT power devices face serious crosstalk problems when applied to high-frequency bridge circuits, thereby limiting the switching performance of these devices. To address this issue, a gate driver is proposed in this paper that can suppress...

This article presents an energy-efficient IC architecture implementation of an analog image-processing ML system, where the primary issue is analog architecture development for existing energy-efficient analog computing devices. An architecture is de...
