Energy Analysis of Lightweight AEAD Circuits

Andrea Felice Caforio, Muhammed Fatih Balli, Subhadeep Banik

The selection criteria for NIST's Lightweight Crypto Standardization (LWC) have been slowly shifting towards the lightweight efficiency of designs, given that a large number of candidates already establish their security claims on conservative, well-studie ...

Buffer Placement and Sizing for High-Performance Dataflow Circuits

Paolo Ienne, Lana Josipovic, Andrea Guerrieri, Shabnam Sheikhha

Commercial high-level synthesis tools typically produce statically scheduled circuits. Yet, effective C-to-circuit conversion of arbitrary software applications calls for dataflow circuits, as they can handle efficiently variable latencies (e.g., caches) a ...

Evidence of Smaller 1/F Noise in AlScN-Based Oscillators Compared to AlN-Based Oscillators

Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Andrea Lozzi, Marco Liffredo

In this paper we investigate the direct effect of resonator quality factor (Q) on the oscillator phase noise. We use 2-port contour mode resonators (CMRs), fabricated both with aluminum nitride (AlN) and aluminum scandium nitride (AlScN), as the frequency- ...

MORPHIC: Programmable photonic circuits enabled by silicon photonic MEMS

Niels Quack, Banafsheh Abasahl, Hamed Sattari, Alain Yuji Takabayashi

In the European project MORPHIC we develop a platform for programmable silicon photonic circuits enabled by waveguide-integrated micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). MEMS can add compact, and low-power phase shifters and couplers to an established sili ...

3D Smith chart constant quality factor semi-circles contours for positive and negative resistance circuits

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Andrei Müller

The article firstly proves that the constant quality factor (Q) contours for passive circuits, while represented on a 2D Smith chart, form circle arcs on a coaxal circle family. Furthermore, these circle arcs represent semi-circles families in the north he ...
