Microwave application of ferroelectrics is very promising for electrically tunable microwave devices based on the electric field dependence of the dielectric permittivity. Tunable filters and controllable phase shifters are successfully designed as integrated circuits based on multilayer structures containing thin epitaxial ferroelectric (FE) film. As a rule lumped ferroelectric capacitors are ...

Due to the integration of modern technology such as electric vehicles, the emphasis is expected to shift from mechanical to electric power. Therefore, the need of increasing the power transmission capacity of the electric grid gets highlighted. Since, the construction of transmission lines is a tedious task owing to legalities, environmental impacts and high costs, the series compensated transm...

This application note describes characteristics and design challenges of metal-oxide-metal (MOM) interdigitated capacitors and circuits containing MOMs. It also explains how the MOM capacitor design can be facilitated using F3D – a parasitic extraction tool based on a random walk method. I. MOM capacitor characteristics and design challenges 1. What is a MOM capacitor? Analog integrated circuit...

A simple but highly accurate method is proposed to find the dc parameters of active or passive switchedcapacitor (SC) circuits. It is based on the dc model of a general SC branch.

Introduction: The leaky integrator is a key subsystem in pulse-mode artificial neuron implementations [1]. In most implementations reported to date this function has been implemented with the explicit use of integrated capacitors and with fixed time constants. More recently it has been noted that mimicking real biological systems is better accomplished if the integrator time constants are adapt...
