چکیده
A digital to analogue converter (DAC) based on a single-electron tunnelling transistor (SETT) is proposed. The proposed scheme fully utilises the Coulomb blockade effect and only a SETT and n+1 capacitors are necessary for an n-bit DAC implementation. Using this scheme, a 4-bit DAC is demonstrated by means of simulation.

Flexible embedded test solution for high-speed analogue front-end architectures - Circuits, Devices and Systems, IEE Proceedings [see also IEE Proceedings G- Circuits, Devices and
A flexible embedded test solution for high-speed analogue front-end subsystems is presented. A novel concept of a flexible test solution that addresses virtual component test requirements in particular is introduced. The integration and application of the non-invasive digital test solution is demonstrated for a representative design. Its area overhead is assessed for different depths in on-chip...
متن کاملThreshold voltage based CMOS voltage reference - Circuits, Devices and Systems, IEE Proceedings [see also IEE Proceedings G- Circuits, Devices and
The paper describes a CMOS voltage reference design that uses the temperature dependence of NMOS and PMOS threshold voltages to form a temperature-insensitive reference. No diodes or parasitic bipolar transistors are used. The circuit architecture accommodates a wide range of output voltages. A test chip is fabricated using a 0.5mm CMOS process. The prototype achieves a temperature coefficient ...
متن کاملEnergy-efficient self-timed circuit design using supply voltage scaling - Circuits, Devices and Systems, IEE Proceedings [see also IEE Proceedings G- Circuits, Devices and
Abstract: Energy-efficient design for self-timed circuits is investigated. Null convention logic is employed to construct speed-independent self-timed circuits. For error-free computation, the supply voltage automatically tracks the input data rate so that the supply voltage can be kept as small as possible while maintaining the speed requirement. For error-tolerable computation, such as soft d...
متن کاملProposal and design of a new SiC-emitter lateral NPM Schottky collector bipolar transistor on SOI for VLS - Circuits, Devices and Systems, IEE Proceedings [see also IEE Proceedings G- Circuits, Devices and
A novel bipolar transistor structure, namely, a SiC emitter lateral NPM Schottky collector bipolar transistor (SCBT) with a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate is explored using two-dimensional (2-D) simulation. A comprehensive comparison of the proposed structure with its equivalent Si lateral NPN BJT and an SiC emitter lateral NPN HBT is presented. Based on simulation results, the authors de...
متن کاملMagnetic cellular automata (MCA) systems - Circuits, Devices and Systems, IEE Proceedings [see also IEE Proceedings G- Circuits, Devices and
Single-domain nanomagnets could potentially be used as magnetic logic elements. In this paper, the performance of magnetic cellular automaton (MCA) systems is assessed. The three main types are described briefly and one is analysed in detail. A micromagnetic model which uses Monte Carlo/Metropolis updating is described and shown to be able to reproduce room temperature experimental results. It ...
