This paper proposes a CMOS low-power low-voltage microphone preamplifier for a cochlear implant system. The proposed preamplifier using the Flipped Voltage Follower Current Sensing (FVFCS) technique to achieve low voltage, low power consumption. The proposed circuit was designed and simulated using a 0.35 m CMOS process. Simulation results showed that the preamplifier can achieve 22-dB voltage ...

An offset compensation technique for a latch type sense amplifier is proposed in this paper. The proposed scheme is based on the recalibration of the charging/discharging current of the critical nodes which are affected by the device mismatches. The circuit has been designed in a 65 nm CMOS technology with 1.2 V core transistors. The auto-calibration procedure is fully digital. Simulation resul...

Original scientific paper Memristors will surely have application in secondary lightning protection as well. This paper proposes a combined over-voltage protecting device consisting of a memristor connected in series with a spark gap. Operation of this combined device has been simulated with circuit simulation software on a model proposed in this paper. The memristor is applied for dissipating ...

Processors have undergone a tremendous evolution throughout their history. A key milestone in this evolution was the introduction of the microprocessor, term that refers to a processor that is implemented in a single chip. The first microprocessor was introduced by Intel under the name of Intel 4004 in 1971. It contained about 2,300 transistors, was clocked at 740 KHz and delivered 92,000 instr...

A stochastic cellular automata (CA) model is proposed to simulate susceptibleinfected-removed populations over space and time. Three initial grid configurations are used to compare and contrast the spatiotemporal dynamics of this system; random, center, and patchy. The simulations show that random configurations infect more of the population, but quickly dissipating through the space. The cente...

Indian Neem tree is known for its pesticidal and medicinal properties for centuries. Structure elucidation of large number of secondary metabolites responsible for its diverse properties has been achieved. However, this data is spread over various books, scientific reports and publications and difficult to access. We have compiled and stored structural details of neem metabolites in NeeMDB, a d...
