Abstract; The aim of this paper is to propose a new classification approach of artificial neural networks hardware. Our motivation behind this work is justified by the following two arguments: first, during the last two decades a lot of approaches have been proposed for classification of neural networks hardware. However, at present there is not […]

Abstract; The IP reuse approach and FPGA-platform-based SoC (System on Chip) with an embedded soft processor is an alternative to design SoCs that allows fast creation and verification. In this paper we address a comparison study between two SoCs architectures based OpenRISC (OpenCores) and MicroBlaze (proprietary) soft processors. The comparison is done for two applications, […]

Abstract; A compact reconfigurable CMOS low-noise amplifier (LNA) is presented for applications in DCS1800, UMTS, WLAN-b/g and Bluetooth standards. The proposed LNA features first a current reuse shunt-feedback amplifier for wideband input matching, low-noise figure and small area. Secondly, a cascode amplifier with a tunable active LC resonator is added for high gain and continuous […]

Abstract; An ultra low power and low voltage down conversion mixer is presented in this paper for the frequency band of 1.8–2.4 GHz. Designed in 0.18μm CMOS technology, the double balanced proposed mixer is composed by two cascaded stages. The first one is based on cross coupled capacitors technique in current reused topology providing a high voltage gain, […]

Abstract; Small signal RF modeling of FinFETs is strongly dependent on the methodology used to extract transistor intrinsic and extrinsic parameters. In this article, an original extraction method is proposed for determining all FinFET extrinsic series elements values from S‐parameters measurements at zero bias condition. The extracted technique is demonstrated through successful comparison between simulated […]

Abstract; The design of an interface to a specific sensor induces costs and design time mainly related to the analog part. So to reduce these costs, it should have been standardized like digital electronics. The aim of the present work is the elaboration of a method based on multiobjectives genetic algorithms (MOGAs) to allow automated […]

Abstract; By extracting and eliminating the geometric component from the charge pumping current (ICP) in on-the-fly oxide trap method (OTFOT), we have been able to demonstrate that both interface (ΔNit) and deep hole oxide traps (ΔNotD) induced by the negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) are principally located in the lightly doped drain region (LDD region) […]

Abstract; The Negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) is one of the most important reliability issues for modern CMOS technology. Accurate reliability prediction necessitates physically based models for NBTI and accurate methods for estimation of interface (∆N it ) and oxide trap (∆N ot ) generated under this degradation as well as mobility degradation (∆μ eff […]

Abstract; Piezoelectric properties of ZnO thin films have been investigated for micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). Wurtzite ZnO structure was prepared on different substrates (Si (1 0 0), Pt (1 1 1)/Ti/SiO2/Si and Al (1 1 1)/SiO2/Si) at different substrate temperatures (from 100 to 500 °C) by a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD) characterization showed that the ZnO films were highly c-axis […]
