On-chip transformers are considered to be the primary components in many RF wireless applications. This paper provides an in-depth review of on-chip transformers, starting with a presentation on the various equivalent circuit models to represent tran...
Fully Depleted Silicon on Insulator (FD SOI) technology nodes provide better resistance to single event upsets than comparable bulk technologies, but upsets are still likely to occur at nano-scale feature sizes, and additional hardening techniques sh...
Developments in electric vehicle (EV) technology are pushing on-board chargers (OBCs) toward higher power density and efficiency, making high-frequency transformer loss prediction a critical design bottleneck. However, the accuracy of commonly used a...
Wide-Bandgap (WBG) semiconductors—silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN)— enable high-power-density conversion, but performance is limited by where heat is generated and how it is removed. This review links device-level loss mech...
This paper presents area optimization techniques for high-density spin-orbit torque magnetic random-access memories (SOT-MRAMs). Although SOT-MRAM has many desirable features of nonvolatility, high reliability and low write energy, it poses challenge...
This work presents the design and simulation of a time-interleaved successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) implemented in GlobalFoundries’ 22 nm Fully Depleted Silicon-on-Insulator (FD-SOI) CMOS process. Motiva...
This study examined the decline of traditional villages due to urbanization, focusing on their spatial patterns and architectural characteristics in China, particularly in the Guanzhong region. Using ArcGIS tools, kernel density and nearest-neighbor...
Modern deep neural network (DNN) accelerators must sustain high throughput while avoiding performance degradation from supply voltage (VDD) droop, which occurs when large arrays of multiply–accumulate (MAC) units switch concurrently and induce...
Fluctuant irradiance conditions constitute a challenge in front of a proper battery charging process, when originated from a PhotoVoltaic Array (PVA). The behavior of the PVA under such conditions (i.e., reflected by a disturbed PV characteristic cur...
