Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This special issue  focuses on recent advances in the diverse field of Integrated Circuits and Systems (ICS). It delves into the most recent research and breakthroughs in a variety of interconnected sub-disciplines within ICS, including novel logic device architectures, emerging memory technologies, efficient power electronics design, innovative design-for-testability and design-for-manufacturing (DTCO) methodologies, and advances in electronic design automation (EDA) tools and algorithms. Contributions that investigate the interplay of these domains, particularly those that address the issues of the challenges of miniaturization, performance enhancement, power reduction, and reliability in next-generation ICS, are highly encouraged.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

In-cell touch and display integrated panels, along with their integrated readout systems, are widely adopted in mobile devices for their cost-effectiveness and compact design. This paper proposes an analog Gaussian-shaped filter and a current mode compensation technique for dot-matrix Touch Screen Panel (TSP) readout systems. Specifically, this article presents a noise management strategy for both intrinsic and external noise, offering simulation guidelines for determining intrinsic circuit noise levels in relation to scan time and enhancing external noise immunity through the Gaussian-shaped filter response. The system achieved an intrinsic SNR of 66 dB with a 200 kHz TSP driving frequency and a 160 μs scan time, while the 4-bit quantized Gaussian coefficients filter provided 33 dB noise suppression for out-of-band noise. The compensation error in the dot-matrix capacitance compensation was measured at 1.24 pF, which corresponds to a 0.078% deviation. The simulated power consumption of the proposed readout system is 24 mW, with a layout area of 1.017 mm2 for the 10-channel readout front-end. Full article

This paper proposes a three-stage op amp based on the SOI (silicon-on-insulator) process, which achieves a low offset voltage and temperature coefficient across a wide temperature range from −40 °C to 250 °C. It can be used in aerospace, oil and gas exploration, automotive electronics, nuclear industry, and in other fields where the ability of electronic devices to withstand high-temperature environments is strongly required. By utilizing a SC (Switched Capacitor) notch filter, the op amp achieves low input offset in a power-efficient manner. The circuit features a multi-path nested Miller compensation structure, consisting of a low-speed channel and a high-speed channel, which switch according to the input signal frequency. The input-stage operational amplifier is a fully differential, rail-to-rail design, utilizing tail current control to reduce the impact of common-mode voltage on the transconductance of the input stage. The two-stage operational amplifier uses both cascode and Miller compensation, minimizing the influence of the feedforward signal path and improving the amplifier’s response speed. The prototype op amp is fabricated in a 0.15 µm SOI process and draws 0.3 mA from a 5 V supply. The circuit occupies a chip area of 0.76 mm2. The measured open-loop gain exceeds 140 dB, with a 3 dB bandwidth greater than 100 kHz. The amplifier demonstrates stable performance across a wide temperature range from −40 °C to 250 °C, and exhibits an excellent input offset of approximately 20 µV at room temperature and an offset voltage temperature coefficient of 0.7 μV/°C in the full temperature range.
