In this paper a novel low power double edge pulse triggered flip flop (FF) design is present. First, the pulse generation control logic by using the NAND function and is removed from the critical path to facilitate a faster discharge operation. A simple two transistor NAND gate design is used to reduce the circuit complexity. Second, a double edge conditional discharging flip flop is used to re...

A compact High Voltage (HV) module for generating 100V DC output has been developed for biasing of PIN photodiode detector used in dosimetry applications. Two different approaches have been used in designing the HV circuit. In the first case, the circuit employs a low noise, constant frequency pulse width modulating (PWM) boost converter with an inductor operating in

An accurate and computer efficient analytical model for the evaluation of integrated circuit sensitivity to radiation induced single event transients is presented. The key idea of the work is to exploit a model that allows the rapid determination of the sensitivity of any MOS circuit to single event transients (SETs), without the need to run circuit level simulations. To accomplish this task, b...

Controlling chaos signal patterns at 12GHz was demonstrated on the resonant tunneling chaos generator circuit. This was made possible by implementing the reset switch, which resets the circuit to various initial conditions periodically. The reset period was set so short that the initial condition errors can not grow significantly. Thus the circuit repeated identical signal patterns, and they ca...

This letter studies a simple nonautonomous chaotic circuit constructed by adding an impulsive switch to the RCL circuit. The switch operation depends on time and on state variable through a refractory threshold. The circuit exhibits various chaotic attractors, periodic attractors and related bifurcation phenomena. The dynamics can be analyzed using 1-D return map focusing on the time-dependent ...

This paper presents a ultra low-power, low-complexity circuit to generate the monocycle pulse for Impulse Radio UWB (IR-UWB) applications. A 7th order derivative Gaussian pulse is generated using the edge combination technique plus an extra derivative circuitry. The proposed pulse generator is designed using TSMC 0.18 μm CMOS process. Simulation shows 500 mV of pulse amplitude and 800 ps of the...

This paper presents a synaptic driving circuit design for processing in-memory (PIM) hardware with thin-film transistor (TFT) embedded flash (eFlash) binary/ternary-weight neural network (NN). An eFlash-based cell capable of programming negative weight values to store binary/ternary (i.e., ±1, 0) and circuits erase, program, read operations arrays have been proposed. The proposed improve the ca...
