The recent explosion of interest in wireless personal communication systems motivates the development of fully integrated radio receivers. The parallel reduction of the feature sizes in CMOS technology, and hence higher levels of integration. enable the combined integration of a bandpass or baseband analog-to-digital converter with the traditional front-end receiver building blocks. While ths t...

One of the key limitations of state-of-the-art fine linewidth CMOS technologies is the restricted power-supply voltage, limited by the low junction-breakdown voltage of the process and by the thin gate oxide, prone to voltage stress and breakdown. Also, in some applications, the available external power source may limit the supply voltage; for example, this source may be a 1.2 V battery, with a...

in this article, a multi-objective function for placement of distributed generation (dg) and capacitors with thetap setting of under load tap changer (ultc) transformer is introduced. most of the recent articles have paidless attention to dg, capacitor placement and ultc effects in the distribution network simultaneously. insimulations, a comparison between different modes was carried out with,...

Ahtroct-Switched-capacitor networks have become very attractive for the MOS/LSI realization of analog sampled-data filters. The work presented in this paper shows that the I/p transformation where p = (1 -z -‘)/T can be performed for such filters similarly to.Bruton’s l/s transformation for analog continuous networks. An analog sampled-data filter based on this principle has been designed and i...

The use of Switched-Capacitor techniques to build a fuzzy controller is discussed in this contribution. Using a sequential architecture, the required building blocks are introduced and its realization is described. The proposed system can be considered as a starting point for exploring the future capabilities offered by SC networks to the hardware implementations of fuzzy systems.

In this paper, a CMOS custom Integrated Circuit featuring a multi-stage Universal Switched-Capacitor (SC) Filter is introduced. The network is based on the Generalized Immittance Converter (GIC) configuration, known for its excellent passive and active sensitivities. CMOS switches were used for elements relocation and are digitally controlled to select and realize different filter topologies. S...
