In this paper, footless domino logic buffer circuit is proposed. It minimizes redundant switching at the dynamic and the output nodes. This circuit passes propagation of precharge pulse to the dynamic node and avoids precharge pulse to the output node which saves power consumption. Simulation is done using 0. 18μm CMOS technology. We have calculated the power consumption, delay and power delay ...

Abstract—In this paper, the design and development of a novel active antenna including circuits for Ultra-wide band (UWB) pulse generation and transmission have been described. In this design a pulse with pulse-width approximately 150 ps and amplitude 500 mV (peak-topeak) was generated using a single high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) as the active device (and an optional Schottky diode f...

The laser ablation fast pulse discharge plasma spectroscopy (LA-FPDPS) technique has demonstrated its validity to enhance the optical emission of laser-induced plasma. It has the potential to improve the performance of traditional LIBS measurement. Very recently, LA-FPDPS with a nanosecond pulse discharge circuit has been developed, which has a better capability to enhance the optical emission ...

This paper introduces a simple yet effective circuit topology to directly generate and modulate UWB pulses using baseband signals. The same circuit can be used to achieve Pulse Position Modulation (PPM), Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM), ON-OFF Keying (OOK) and Phase Shift Keying (PSK) by making changes in the baseband data. The method does not require the use of potentially expensive component...

We propose a bio-inspired circuit performing pulse-density modulation with single-electron devices. The proposed circuit consists of three single-electron neuronal units, receiving the same input and are connected to a common output. The output is inhibitorily fedback to the three neuronal circuits through a capacitive coupling. The circuit performance was evaluated through Monte-Carlo based co...

This paper presents an energy recovery (ER) circuit which can operate either in a series or a parallel resonance mode and can drive an AC plasma display panel (PDP) with a single sustain circuit board. The proposed ER circuit consists of one energy storage capacitor, two energy recovery inductors, and three insulated-gate bipolar transistors. The circuit operations in the series and parallel re...

This paper proposes a nonlinear oscillator network model for gray-level image segmentation suitable for massively parallel VLSI implementation. The model performs image segmentation in parallel using nonlinear analog dynamics. Because of the limited calculation precision in VLSI implementation, it is important to estimate the calculation precision required for proper operation. By numerical sim...

A novel ZVZCS isolated dual series-resonant active-clamp dc–dc converter is proposed to obtain high efficiency. The proposed converter employs an active-clamp technique, while a series-resonant scheme controls the output voltage with the complementary pulse width modulation controller. The active-clamp circuit serves to recycle the energy stored in the leakage inductance or the magnetizing ...
