A new CMOS current-mode pseudo-exponential circuit based on the superior-order Taylor series expansion will be presented. The advantage of the circuit with respect to the previous reported similar ones is the smaller value of the limited expansion error obtained by using a superior-order approximation of the exponential function. Because of the circuit modularity and of the small silicon area c...

13 watt Current Mode Class-D (CMCD) with 60% efficiency is presented. This amplifier is the highest power switch mode microwave power amplifier reported to date. The CMCD architecture is an improvement over the Voltage Mode Class-D in that the parasitic reactance in the active device can be absorbed into the tank circuit resulting in a zero voltage switching condition.

The lock-in amplifier can be used in instrumentation systems as a part of the conditioning circuit that optimizes and supports the signals coming from sensors, being capable of measuring the electrical impedance (or admittance) of such sensors, by exciting them with a local oscillator. In industrial environments and research laboratories, it is important to ensure that the level of current pass...

Reducing the power consumed by the device is the emerging trend. The aim of this project is to reduce the leakage current of the circuit by using the Sub Clocking technology. It is the process of switching the circuit by means of partially ON to reduce the power consumption. In this paper there are two modes of operation are implemented.1. Half mode operation, 2. Full mode operation. This mode ...

The dual band microstrip antenna is realized by placing the open circuit stub or by cutting the slot inside the patch. The compact microstrip antenna is realized by placing the shorting post or plate along the zero field line at the fundamental mode of the patch. In this paper, a compact variation of equilateral triangular microstrip antenna, a shorted 600 sectoral microstrip antenna is discuss...

Wearable electrocardiogram (ECG) is attracting much attention for monitoring heart diseases in healthcare and medical applications. However, an imbalance usually exists between the contact resistances of sensing electrodes, so that a common mode noise caused by external electromagnetic field can be converted into the ECG detection circuit as a differential mode interference voltage. In this stu...

When depressing synapses are embedded in a circuit composed of a pacemaker neuron and a neuron with no autorhythmic properties, the network can show two modes of oscillation. In one mode the synapses are mostly depressed, and the oscillations are dominated by the properties of the oscillating neuron. In the other mode, the synapses recover from depression, and the oscillations are primarily con...

This paper presents an accurate current mode synchronous Loser-Take-All circuit based on a simple regenerative pair. The regenerative pair and the related resetting transistors lead to a circuit requiring only four transistors, seven for deep binary tree structures. It achieves its high speed through regenerative feedback. The basic circuit requires no current mirrors and has only parasitic los...

A new current-mode fuzzy-membership function circuit is proposed. The circuit has a very compact and simple architecture based on the simultaneous use of winnerand loser-take-all topologies. The circuit has also the advantage of easily adjusting generated membership function characteristics such as center or mean and width with a straightforward application of respective input currents. It is s...
