Asynchronous circuits are widely used in many real time applications such as digital communication and computer systems. The design of complex asynchronous circuits is a diicult and error-prone task. An adequate synthesis method will signiicantly simplify the design and reduce errors. In this paper, we present a general and eecient partitioning approach to the synthesis of asynchronous circuits...

The paper presents design and implementation of real-time edge deteclion circuits on a multi-FPGA reconfigurable fystem. A design approach for implementation of pipelined circuit structure on a modular reconfigurable system is described. The digital circait design for two well known computer vision algorithms, the Canny edge detecTor and nonlinear Laplace operator, is presented. The circuit des...

Whereas quantum computing circuits follow the symmetries of the unitary Lie group, classical reversible computation circuits follow the symmetries of a finite group, i.e., the symmetric group. We confront the decomposition of an arbitrary classical reversible circuit with w bits and the decomposition of an arbitrary quantum circuit with w qubits. Both decompositions use the control gate as buil...

Introduction Prediction of Device Temperatures with Depth-Averaged Models of the Flow Field over Printed Circuit Boards Convective heat transfer from electronic devices mounted on a printed circuit board is simulated with an efficient Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model. The computer time necessary to calculate a solution to the flow field is greatly reduced by solving the depthaveraged (D...

This paper presents a theory of corn monsense understanding of the behavior of electronic circuits. It is based on the intuitive qualitative reasoning electrical engineers use when they analyze circuits. This intuitive reasoning provides a great deal of important information about the operation of the circuit, which although qualitative in nature, describes important quantitative aspects of cir...

Industry standard circuit simulators use mathematical techniques that do not always guarantee a successful simulation outcome, resulting in a significant loss of productivity as the circuit designer attempts to diagnose the source of the failure. This paper addresses the problem of improving the diagnosis of circuit simulation non-convergence through computer automation of the diagnostic proces...

The performance of high-power converters employing silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs) operating at several kilovolts and switching several thousands of amperes is strongly dependent on the triggering circuit and the protecting circuit (snubber) used. In this paper two standalone trigger circuit topologies are discussed and test results are given for one of them in particular, built with off-t...

The conception of memristor as the fourth fundamental component in circuit theory, creates a new approach in nonlinear circuit design. In this paper the complex dynamics of Chua’s canonical circuit implemented by using a memristor instead of the nonlinear resistor, was studied. The proposed memristor is a flux-controlled one, described by the function W(φ) = dq(φ) dφ , where q(φ) is a cubic fun...
