Abstract An accurate compact MOSFETs model that can deal with effects of temperature drift is prerequisite for analog circuit design. Although the mobility behavior at high vertical field region is important for simulating analog circuits, however current physics based models neglect the temperature dependence of that at this region. In this paper, a new mobility model at high vertical field re...

-This paper describes the realization of a fuzzy controller which implements the simplified inference mechanism. CMOS analog circuits where signals are represented as currents are employed. However, the whole system is externally communicated through voltages, thus enabling simple interface with conventional control circuitry.

This paper presents a real-time, high speed interface for the capture of live analogue video for DSP based video processing applications. The interface makes use of the link ports, which are standard features of general-purpose digital signal processor (DSP). Hence the interface can be used for the different DSPs with minimum customisation. Current technologies for video processing are either b...

Concurrent detection of failures in analog circuits is becoming increasingly more important as safety-critical systems become more widespread. A methodology for the automatic design of concurrent failure detection circuitry for linear analog systems is discussed in this paper. In contrast to previous approaches, the methodology aims at providing coverage in terms of all the circuit components w...

This paper describes a set of specialized GA methods for the analog circuit design, i.e., the component-list chromosome, the multi-staged evolution, and the size reducing pressure. In the several experiments, these methods have shown to achieve the robustness, the efficiency in time and the hardware consumption.

This study examines the effect of library instruction on two sections of the same senior-level electrical engineering course in analog integrated circuit design. One section received a onehour library instruction session while the other section did not. The premise of the study is that inclusion of library instruction will result in higher utilization of scholarly resources in the students’ fin...
