We explore security aspects of a new computing paradigm that combines novel memristors and traditional Complimentary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) to construct a highly efficient analog and/or digital fabric that is especially well-suited to Machi...

Datapath synthesis is a crucial step in synthesis flow and aims at globally minimizing an area by identifying shareable logic structures. This paper introduces a novel Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG)-based datapath synthesis method based on graph isomor...

A general overview of Noise-Shaping Successive Approximation Register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters is provided, encompassing the fundamentals, operational principles, and key architectures of Noise-Shaping SAR (NS SAR). Key challenges, includin...

This work presents a rad-hard 12-bit 3 MS/s resistor string DAC for space applications. The converter has been developed using rad-hardened techniques both at architecture and layout levels starting from a conventional topology. The design considers...

This review is aimed at the integrated circuit design community and it explores slew-rate enhancement techniques for switched-capacitor amplifiers, with a primary focus on optimizing settling time within power constraints. Key challenges are addresse...

Because of the large number of parameters that interact in amplifier functions, determining dynamic regime parameters as well as the mode of function of amplifier stages is an extremely complex problem. This paper describes a LabVIEW application for...
