In this paper, a new circuit scheme is proposed to reduce the power consumption of dynamic circuits. In the proposed circuit, an NMOS keeper transistor is used to maintain the voltage level in the output node against charge sharing, leakage current and noise sources. Using the proposed keeper scheme, the voltage swing on the dynamic node is lowered to reduce the power consumption of wide fan-in...

A high-swing, high-performance CMOS telescopic operational amplifier is described. The high swing of the op-amp is achieved by employing the tail and current source transistors in the deep linear region. The resulting degradation in differential gain, common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR), and other amplifier characteristics are compensated by applying regulatedcascode differential gain enhancemen...

A fully digital feedforward Σ∆ modulator is described. The technique, here applied to a second order low-pass modulator, strongly reduces the operational amplifiers output swing, thus allowing the use of power effective single stage architectures. The method enables reduced slew-rate requirements and allows operation at lower power supply voltages. The proposed technique has better or comparabl...

The walking mechanism of a prosthetic leg user is a tightly coordinated movement of several joints and limb segments. The interaction among the voluntary and mechanical joints and segments requires particular biomechanical insight. This study aims to analyze the inter-relationship between amputees' voluntary and mechanical coupled leg joints variables using cyclograms. From this analysis, the c...

Serial link transmitters which efficiently incorporate equalization, while also enabling fast power-state transitioning to leverage dynamic power scaling, are necessary to meet future systems’ I/O requirements. This paper presents a scalable voltage-mode transmitter which offers low static power dissipation and adopts an impedance-modulated 2-tap equalizer with analog tap control, thereby obvia...

The heat-discharging kinetics of an iron-substituted Mn2O3/Mn3O4 redox pair subjected to long-term thermal cycling tests using a temperature swing process at high temperatures was investigated for next-generation concentrated solar power plants equipped with thermochemical energy storage. heat-discharge mode thermal-cycled samples have never been reported. Additionally, comparisons the both and...

A considerable progress has been achieved in transient stability analysis (TSA) with various FACTS controllers. But, all these controllers are associated with single transmission line. This paper is intended to discuss a new approach i.e. a multi-line FACTS controller which is interline power flow controller (IPFC) for TSA of a multi-machine power system network. A mathematical model of IPFC, t...

A novel low-voltage two-stage operational amplifier employing resistive biasing is presented. This amplifier implements neutralization and correction common mode stability in second stage while employs capacitive dc level shifter and coupling between two stages. The structure reduces the power consumption and increases output voltage swing. The compensation is performed by simple miller method....
