Approximate circuit design is a promising approach to improve performances and energy efficiency beyond the boundaries of conventional digital circuits. Such strategy is suitable for error-tolerant applications involving perceptive or statistical outputs. This work presents a novel architecture of an Inexact Speculative Adder for high-performance applications with optimized hardware and advanced error compensation technique. This adder allows precise tuning of accuracy to match design specifications while o

This work presents an analytical analysis of the thermal noise in widely used correlated double-sampling (CDS) circuits. The objective is to provide designers with simplified noise formulas essential for the design and optimization of such blocks. The obta ...

Email Print Request Permissions For a CIS readout chain based on 4T pixel, column amplification and CDS, we confirm that thermal noise can be reduced to be neglected compared to 1/f noise using parameters independent of the pixel design, namely column leve ...

Providing sensory feedback for myoelectric prosthetic users can not only increase the manipulation ability but can also introduce a feeling of embodiment. Previous research has demonstrated the feasibility of providing mechanotactile or vibrotactile feedba ...

In this paper a continuous-time low-pass analog filter based on the Cascoded Super Source Follower (C-SSF) architecture, implemented in a 28-nm bulk CMOS process, is presented. The target application is the transceiver analog baseband for the next-generati ...

This paper presents the first experimental investigation and physical discussion of the cryogenic behavior of a commercial 28 nm bulk CMOS technology. Here we extract the fundamental physical parameters of this technology at 300,77 and 4.2 K based on DC me ...

This paper presents the simplified charge-based EKV MOSFET model and shows that it can be used for advanced CMOS processes despite its very few parameters. The concept of inversion coefficient is then presented as an essential design parameter that spans t ...

The subthreshold swing (SS) of MOSFETs decreases with temperature and then saturates below a critical temperature. Hopping conduction via the band tail has been proposed as the possible cause for the SS saturation. On the other hand, numerical simulations ...

Inexact or approximate circuits show great ability to reduce power consumption at the cost of occasional errors in comparison to their conventional counterparts. Even though the benefits of such circuits have been proven for many applications, they are not ...

In this paper we report the results of Monte-Carlo simulations performed on double-gate ballistic MOSFETs with a geometry such that the gates overlap only a fraction of the channel. We present a qualitative analysis of the simulation results highlighting t ...

In most robotic and biomedical applications, the interest for real-time embedded systems with tactile ability has been growing. For example in prosthetics, a dedicated portable system is needed for developing wearable devices. The main challenges for such ...
