A very simple nonlinear parallel forced LCR circuit is proposed as Balamurugan-Sengodan-Daniel (BSD) circuit includes linear inductors, capacitor, locally active resistor and a diode driven by a sinusoidal voltage source. By varying the amplitude of the external signal, we identify the familiar quasiperiodic routes to chaos as well as period doubling sequences, windows, and so on. The performan...

This paper presents a new structure for a six-port reflectometer which due to its simplicity can be implemented very easily in monolithic microwave integrated-circuit (MMIC) technology. It uses nonmatched diode detectors with a high input impedance which are placed around a phase shifter in conjunction with a power divider for the reference detector. The circuit has been fabricated using the F2...

We use evolutionary search to design combinational logic circuits which is based on evolving the functionality and connectivity of a rectangular array of logic cells in addition to the layout of this array. The evolutionary process contains two main steps. Initially the genome fitness in given by the percentage of output bits, which are correct. Once 100% functional circuits have been evolved, ...

Nanowire crossbar is an efficient nanoscale architecture which can be used for logic circuit design. In this work, we study and compare different crossbar nanoarchitectures and their application in logic circuit implementation. To evaluate the performance of crossbar architecture compared to the conventional CMOS logic design, we have implemented logic circuits using both approaches. The equiva...

One of major implementations of Linear Threshold Gate (LTG) is via resonant tunneling diodes (RTD). The functionality of this threshold logic gate greatly depends on the parameters of the RTD and parametric faults impact its functionality. A suitable fault model for Combinational Threshold Logic gates is presented. A methodology is also developed to generate test patterns that detect these para...

Superconducting Single-Flux-Quantum (SFQ) devices have been paid much attention as alternative devices for digital circuits, because of their high switching speed and low power consumption. For large-scale circuit design, the role of computer-aided design environment is significant. As the characteristics of the SFQ devices are different from conventional devices, a new design environment is re...

This paper proposes a new resonant gate driver circuit for a soft switching synchronous buck converter in a fixed load condition. The switching energy can be fully recovered during current commutation phase in the gate driver while the diode conduction losses in the low and high side switches can be substantially reduced by employing additional L and C resonant in the circuit. Using PSpice simu...

This project proposes a new AC-DC bridgeless CUK rectifier. The new bridgeless single-phase AC–DC power factor correction (PFC) rectifiers based on CUK topology are proposed. The absence of an input diode bridge and the presence of only two semiconductor switches in the current flowing path during each interval of the switching cycle result in less conduction losses compared to the conventional...
