Today there is a growing interest in the integration of health monitoring applications in portable devices necessitating the development of methods that improve the energy efficiency of such systems. In this paper, we present a systematic approach that ena ...

Long Range (LoRa) is an emerging low-power wide-area network technology offering long-range wireless connectivity to Internet of Things (IoT) devices. For energy efficiency reasons, LoRa end nodes implement a nonslotted ALOHA multiple access scheme to tran ...

Nowadays, most software and hardware applications are committed to reduce the footprint and resource usage of data. In this general context, lossless data compression is a beneficial technique that encodes information using fewer (or at most equal number o ...

Wireless sensor nodes (WSNs) are generally powered by batteries, which results in a substantial limitation to the places where the nodes can be installed, to the maximum number of deployable devices, and to the node lifetime. To meet the demand for Interne ...

Gain-cell embedded DRAM (GC-eDRAM) is an attractive alternative to conventional SRAM due to its high-density, low-leakage, and inherent two-ported functionality. However, its dynamic storage mechanism requires power-hungry refresh cycles to maintain data. ...

To reduce energy consumption, it is possible to operate embedded systems at sub-nominal conditions (e.g., reduced voltage, limited eDRAM refresh rate) that can introduce bit errors in their memories. These errors can affect the stored values of CNN weights ...

This article introduces a wireline receiver (RX) data-path employing discrete multi-tone (DMT) modulation for communicating over electrical links. The DMT RX incorporates a fully digital equalization data-path, with a synthesized and automatically placed a ...

Among the different types of dynamic random-access memories (DRAMs), gain-cell embedded DRAM (GC-eDRAM) is a compact, low-power, and CMOS-compatible alternative to conventional static random-access memory (SRAM). GC-eDRAM achieves high memory density, as i ...

Energy detection (ED) has been of interest for various applications ranging from very low frequency biomedical signal read-out to high frequency wireless communication. The analog implementation of the ED requires circuits with a non-linear transfer charac ...

The total power budget of Ultra-Low Power (ULP) VLSI Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) is often dominated by the leakage power of embedded memories and pipeline registers, which typically cannot be power-gated during sleep periods as they need to retain data and prog ...

Gain-Cell embedded DRAM (GC-eDRAM) has recently been recognized as a possible alternative to traditional SRAM. While GC-eDRAM inherently provides high-density, low-leakage, low-voltage, and 2-ported operation, its limited retention time requires periodic, ...

A method and device for reducing the computational complexity of a processing algorithm, of a discrete signal, in particular of the spectral estimation and analysis of bio-signals, with minimum or no quality loss, which comprises steps of (a) choosing a do ...

Quantum key distribution (QKD) enables provably secure communication between two parties over an optical fiber that arguably withstands any form of attack. Besides the need for a suitable physical signalling scheme and the corresponding devices, QKD also r ...

Gain-cell embedded dynamic random access memory (GC-eDRAM) has emerged as a suitable choice for embedded memory implementation due to its high density, low leakage current, and voltage scaling compatibility. This work presents a 16-kB 3T-1C GC-eDRAM macro, ...

Bringing cellular capacity into modern trains is challenging because they act as Faraday cages. Building a radio frequency (RF) corridor along the railway tracks ensures a high signal-to-noise ratio and limits handovers. However, building such RF corridors ...

In this study, design considerations for ultra low voltage (ULV) standard-cell based memories (SCM) are presented. Trade-offs for area cost, leakage power, access time, and access energy are discussed and realized using different read logic styles, latch a ...

Since polar were ratified as part of the 5G standard, low-complexity polar decoders with close-to-optimum error-rate performance have received significant attention. Compared to successive cancellation (SC) decoding, both SC list and SC flip decoding can i ...

In the Shannon lecture at the 2019 International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT), Arikan proposed to employ a one-to-one convolutional transform as a pre-coding step before the polar transform. The resulting codes of this concatenation are called po ...

In this study, the authors explore sequential and parallel processing architectures, utilising a custom ultra-low-power (ULP) processing core, to extend the lifetime of health monitoring systems, where slow biosignal events and highly parallel computations ...

The implementation of a 25.6-Gb/s four-level pulse-amplitude-modulation (4-PAM) reduced-state sliding-block Viterbi detector (VD) is presented. The power consumption of the VD is 105 orilV at a supply voltage of 0.7 V, corresponding to an energy efficiency ...
