Experimental Implementation of Non-binary Cyclic ADCs with Radix Value Estimation Algorithm

A Robust Distributed Estimation Algorithm under Alpha-Stable Noise Condition

Robust adaptive estimation of unknown parameter has been an important issue in recent years for reliable operation in the distributed networks. The conventional adaptive estimation algorithms that rely on mean square error (MSE) criterion exhibit good performance in the presence of Gaussian noise, but their performance drastically decreases under impulsive noise. In this paper, we propose a rob...

Formulation and analysis of in-place MSD radix sort algorithms

We present a unified treatment of a number of related inplace MSD radix sort algorithms with varying radices, collectively referred to here as ‘Matesort’ algorithms. These algorithms use the idea of in-place partitioning which is a considerable improvement over the traditional linked list implementation of radix sort that uses O(n) space. The binary Matesort algorithm is a recast of the classic...

A 12-bit 1.25MS/s Area-Efficient Radix-Value Self-Estimated Non-Binary Cyclic ADC with Relaxed Requirements on Analog Components

Non-binary Pipeline Analog-to-Digital Converter Based on β-Expansion

This paper proposes a pipeline analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with non-binary encoding technique based on β-expansion. By using multiply-by-β switched-capacitor (SC) multiplying digital-to-analog converter (MDAC) circuit, our proposed ADC is composed by radix-β (1 < β < 2) 1 bit pipeline stages instead of using the conventional radix-2 1.5 bit/1 bit pipeline stages to realize non-binary anal...

Configurable Multiple Value Encoders using Semi Floating-Gate

This thesis presents a new multiple-valued encoder with re-configurable radix. The proposed circuits utilize serial cyclic D/A conversion and semi floatinggate (SFG) inverters for compact design and a high functional capacity per device. A re-configurable radix is not supported by existing SFG inverter based multiple-valued encoders which make use of parallel binary weight D/A conversion. The s...
