We report measurements and simulations on a fully tunable double quantum dot circuit, integrated with two quantum point contacts that serve as charge detectors. The circuit is defined in a two-dimensional electron gas by means of surface gates on top of a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure. Full control over the electron number (down to zero), the dot-lead coupling and the inter-dot tunnel coupling is...

The way integrated technology is growing becomes very difficult to apply circuit testing using Automatic TEST Equipment of complex circuit for this BIST (Built In Self test) is the solution of complex IC. Here we are applying BIST for UART which is considering as a low speed, low cost data exchange between computer and peripherals. Hence this paper shows implementation of UART with BIST capabil...

---------------------------------------------------------------------***--------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract—A non-Sinusoidal oscillator based on integrating the diode-switched currents and Regenerative Comparator is presented. The Implementation is derived from a known circuit with operational amplifiers where these are replaced by current conveyors. The...

In this paper, a new current-mode (CM) circuit for realizing all of the ̄rst-order ̄lter responses is suggested. The proposed con ̄guration contains low number of components, only two NMOS transistors both operating in saturation region, two capacitors and two resistors. Major advantages of the presented circuit are low voltage, low noise and high linearity. The proposed ̄lter circuit can simultane...

A new adaptive technique is presented for building multidimensional parameterized analytical models for general planar microwave structures with a predefined accuracy and based on full-wave electromagnetic (EM) simulations. The models can be incorporated in a circuit simulator and the time required to calculate the circuit representation of a practical network is reduced by several orders of ma...

Transistor-level circuit simulation is a fundamental computer-aided design technique that enables the design and verification of an extremely broad range of integrated circuits. With the proliferation of modern parallel processor architectures, leveraging parallel computing becomes a necessity and also an important avenue for facilitating large-scale circuit simulation. This monograph presents ...

The integrated circuit design of a switched-capacitor filter for Bluetooth specifications is described. It was based on the optimum allocation of poles and zeros to generate a transfer function with unequal numerator and denominator orders, so that a direct-form structure with reduced number of opamps and low sensitivity to capacitor ratio errors were obtained. It was designed for implementatio...

A system of programs has been constructed to process the television image of a hybrid circuit* This system is capable of "inspecting" the circuit image regarding defects. To achieve this a procedural model of the circuit is developed. The computer "sees" the image and interprets what It sees with the procedures in the model. In this manner it is able to determine certain Important characteristi...

We describe a synthesis system that takes operating range constraints and inter and intracircuit parametric manufacturing variations into account while designing a sized and biased analog circuit. Previous approaches to computer-aided design for analog circuit synthesis have concentrated on nominal analog circuit design, and subsequent optimization of these circuits for statistical fluctuations...
