A novel image contrast enhancement (ICE) circuit was proposed by modulating the reference voltages of the source driver circuit in liquid-crystal displays (LCDs). The adjustment of reference voltages is achieved immediately by applying external adjustment codes, which may be generated in accordance with the video data distribution on image displays and the liquid crystal materials, and leads to...

In this paper, a novel method to build under-voltage-lockout (UVLO) circuit has been developed. The method based on bandgap reference voltage comparator, which take advantage of a reference voltage produced by itself realizes voltage compare, stability of parameters such as threshold point voltage, hysteretic range, without utilizing an extra bandgap reference voltage. An abstractive feature of...

A voltage reference circuit operating with all transistors biased in weak inversion, providing a mean reference voltage of 257.5 mV, has been fabricated in 0.18 m CMOS technology. The reference voltage can be approximated by the difference of transistor threshold voltages at room temperature. Accurate subthreshold design allows the circuit to work at room temperature with supply voltages down t...

This paper presents an example of the CMOS bandgap voltage reference design. Proposed circuit is evaluated with a set of simulations. Simulation results show the circuit performance. Circuit exhibits the nominal temperature coefficient of 6 ppm/°C, and dc power supply rejection of 130 dB.

A novel architecture for loser-take-all functions is proposed. Inputs and outputs of the circuit are currents, which make the circuit appropriated for low-voltage neural hardware computation. In contrast to most existing realisations the circuit does not require subtraction from a fixed reference what decreases accuracy and input dynamic. Moreover, in addition to the loser, it also outputs the ...

Abstrac t This paper describes a method for restraining electromagnetic interference received by reference meter clearly not caused by watt-hour meter under test by means of pulse width testing circuit. The method is adopted to resolve the problems often occurred in the type tests of watt-hour meters. During the EMC test of watt-hour meters, the tester can’t confirm the additional error due to ...

A high power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) bandgap voltage reference (BGR) which is used in the signal processing circuit of energy harvesters is presented in this paper. The PSRR of the BGR is improved by adding a pre-regulating circuit and a low pass filter. The pre-regulating circuit mainly improves the BGR PSRR at low frequency and the low pass filter mainly improves the BGR PSRR at high fr...
