This paper describes the emerging trends in the major business segments of the integrated circuit industry. As the integrated circuit technology approaches its ultimate scaling limit, the different segments of the industry are evolving continuously by adopting new business strategies to gain competitive advantage: the manufacturing is persistently releasing next generation technologies, dedicat...

We present an optoelectronic module called the equivalency-processing parallel photonic integrated circuit (EP(3)IC) that is created specifically to implement high-speed parallel equivalence searches (i.e., database word searches). The module combines a parallel-computation model with multiwavelength photonic integrated-circuit technology to achieve high-speed data processing. On the basis of s...

Traditionally, multiple IC chips are needed to build transmitters (Tx) used in wireless communications. The difficulty with a full Tx integration is that each Tx building block uses different technology. A power-detection circuit will exploit the Schottky diode, while the modulator IC is integrated with BiCMOS or SiGe. Likewise, the digital control loop is implemented in CMOS. Now that directco...

AbstractIn present day sub-micron technology, reduction of circuit complexity of on-chip VLSI interconnects is an important issue for the analysis and verification of integrated circuits. In this paper, we present an exact method to compute the analytic time-domain response for a RC circuit including coupling capacitors for ramp input excitation. Accuracy and efficiency of the method is shown f...

In recent years, there have been major advances in integrated circuit technology which have both made feasible and generated great interest in electronic circuits which employ more than two discrete levels of signal. Such circuits, called multiple-valued logic circuits, offer several potential opportunities for the improvement of present VLSI circuit designs. In this paper, we give an overview ...

Abstract Grain is the material basis of human existence and development. Food quality has an important effect on people’s physical health for our country. Moisture content grain been factor in affecting food quaility. Every year, a substantial part production lost because too much water contained without drying. According to annual statistics country’s harvest, loss due drying time caused by ta...

Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistor (CNFET) is a promising new technology that overcomes several limitations of traditional silicon integrated circuit technology. In recent years, the potential of CNFET for analog circuit applications has been explored. This paper proposes a novel four quadrant analog multiplier design using CNFETs. The simulation based on 32nm CNFET technology shows that t...
