Process Portable Analog Design

چکیده
Modern day digital integrated circuit designs can be designed without choosing a target programmable device or fabrication process until near the very end of the design flow. Current analog design tools and processes, however, require that the fabrication process be chosen very early on in the design process. This paper describes a vision of analog design that can be used to make more of the analog design process independent of which fabrication process is going to be used by designing at a higher, process independent level. An integrated circuit for capacitive level sensing is described and portions of the design are used to show how this vision allows not only for the target process to be chosen later in the design cycle, but also for comparison between processes which can help in choosing a more appropriate fabrication process.

A low power portable multichannel neural data acquisition system
We present the design and test of a portable multichannel neural data acquisition system. Each analog channel features a low noise (10nV/√Hz), high CMRR (83.4dB) input stage, a 4 order bandpass filter and a selectable gain (60.8dB – 100.8dB). An automatic DC restoration circuit in the input stage rejects the electrodes DC voltage mismatch. The multichannel analog signals are sampled, digitized ...
متن کاملConfigurable analog-digital conversion using the neural engineering framework
Efficient Analog-Digital Converters (ADC) are one of the mainstays of mixed-signal integrated circuit design. Besides the conventional ADCs used in mainstream ICs, there have been various attempts in the past to utilize neuromorphic networks to accomplish an efficient crossing between analog and digital domains, i.e., to build neurally inspired ADCs. Generally, these have suffered from the same...

متن کاملA Framework for Designing Reusable Analog Circuits a Dissertation Submitted to the Department of Electrical Engineering and the Committee on Graduate Studies of Stanford University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
While the practice of design reuse is well established for digital circuits, it is not easily applied to analog circuits. One of the largest problems is that design constraints of analog circuits are sometimes implicit, which makes porting the design to a new environment difficult and prone to failure. This dissertation describes STAR (Schematic Tool for Analog Reuse), a system that captures de...
متن کاملA Novel Portable Scissors-Type Fruit Picking Device
At present, the fruit picking in most countries still largely relies on manual operation. Manual fruit picking can protect the fruits from damage during the operation process. However, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and poses a potential safety risk to the workers while working at heights not reachable. Therefore, a variety of fruit picking machines and platforms have been developed ...
