In this paper, a novel meta-heuristic method for evaluation of digital filter stability is presented. The proposed method is very general because it allows one to evaluate stability of systems whose characteristic equations are not based on polynomials. The method combines an efficient evolutionary algorithm represented by the particle swarm optimization and the phase analysis of a complex function in the characteristic equation. The method generates randomly distributed particles (i.e., a swarm) within the unit circle on the complex plane and extracts the phase quadrant of function value in position of each particle. By determining the function phase quadrants, regions of immediate vicinity of unstable zeros, called candidate regions, are detected. In these regions, both real and imaginary parts of the complex function change signs. Then, the candidate regions are explored by subsequently generated swarms. When sizes of the candidate regions are reduced to a value of assumed accuracy, then the occurrence of unstable zero is verified with the use of discrete Cauchy's argument principle. The algorithm is evaluated in four benchmarks for integer- and fractional-order digital filters and systems. The numerical results show that the algorithm is able to evaluate the stability of digital filters very fast even with a small number of particles in subsequent swarms. However, the multimodal particle swarm optimization with phase analysis may not be computationally efficient in stability tests of systems with complicated phase portraits.

Machine learning is no longer confined to cloud and high-end server systems and has been successfully deployed on devices that are part of Internet of Things. This paper presents the analysis of performance of convolutional neural networks deployed on an ARM microcontroller. Inference time is measured for different core frequencies, with and without DSP instructions and disabled access to cache. Networks use both real-valued and complex-valued tensors and are tested using different inference engines. We conclude that the system must be tuned in a holistic way to achieve optimal efficiency.

This paper presents various modifications and developments in the PSO algorithm. PSO is an algorithm based on the behavior of swarms. In this work we focus mainly on simplifying the algorithm by replacing random number generators, which can be a problem when implementing algorithms in hardware. We investigate how changing the methods for algorithm updates from random to more deterministic approach influences the results. This paper shows whether it is possible to achieve same as random or better results using a simplified algorithm, which uses simple mathematical operations in the algorithm optimization process.

A universal technique for the extraction of device parameters or circuit component values from measured performance data is presented. The proposed method can be used by any circuit simulator that implements parameter sweep features and allows user defined tabulated data with independent voltage, or current, sources. A key feature of the reported extraction process is the use of schematic capture simulation icons, with their sweep parameters tabulated as a list of data points, synthesized from CSV measured data. By overlaying simulation output data on top of measured values, then varying user selected parameter/component values and re-simulating repeatable until the two data sets converge, it becomes possible to extract parameter/component values to within a specified error limit. In this paper FOSS circuit simulators Qucs-S/QucsStudio and the numerical analysis package Octave are used to demonstrate the application of the proposed schematic capture synthesis procedure in the investigate of diode inductance at high forward d.c. bias currents and a.c. signal band width.

This paper presents a low power, low noise preamplifier stage with simple common mode desensitization circuit for dynamic comparators. The target application of the proposed circuit is analog to digital converter for biomedical applications. Adopting TSMC $0.18mu mathrm{m}$ technology, the proposed circuit is designed to work in weak inversion using $mathrm{g}_{mathrm{m}}/mathrm{I}_{mathrm{D}}$ design methodology. The simulation results show that the preamplifier stage consumes less than 32nW using power supply of 0.75V. The input referred noise is $17mumathrm{V}$, DC gain of 43.15dB and unity gain frequency of 300 kHz.

The accelerating growth in mobile networks for data communication, covering a diversity of applications, has originated a high demand not only for low-power devices but also for low-cost System on Chip (SoC). An example of this is the next generation 5G, which is under intense development intending to reach an effective ubiquitous connectivity. CMOS technology offers the best trade-off between costs versus performance and facilitates the co-integration of digital-analog. However, integrating analog RF in recent technology nodes remains a challenge, which has pushed the research towards innovative techniques. One of these techniques is the parametric signal conversion, which can offer high speed and low-noise operation. This paper presents a survey on the application of this technique in modern heterodyne receivers.

The $mathrm{g}_{mathrm{m}}/mathrm{I}_{mathrm{D}}$ methodology is applicable for the circuit design in advanced nanometer technologies. This work proposes a systematic parameter extraction process for a simplified EKV-model with only three model parameters which is applicable to all CMOS technologies. The extraction procedure relies only on the drain current for a sweep of the gate voltage without the need of additional extraction simulations in SPICE or parameters from the model card. Therefore, it is independent from the applied technology or the compact model of the SPICE simulation. For devices with short channel lengths, three variations of the EKV model were evaluated which consider velocity saturation. The resulting model provides good results compared to the SPICE simulation over the complete operation region of the technology for long and short channel devices while keeping simplicity for fast tool-based circuit design procedures and hand calculations.

We evaluate the subband structure in a narrow nanoribbon of 1T’ molybdenum disulfide by employing an effective $mathrm{k}cdot mathrm{p}$ Hamiltonian. Highly conductive topologically protected edge states whose energies lie within the bulk band gap are investigated. Due to the interaction of the edge modes located at the opposite edges, a small gap in their linear spectrum opens in a narrow nanoribbon. This gap is shown to sharply increase with the perpendicular out-of-plane electric field, in contrast to the behavior in a wide nanoribbon. The gaps between the electron and hole bulk subbands also increase with the electric field. The increase of the gaps between the subbands leads to a rapid decrease of the ballistic nanoribbon conductance and current with the gate voltage, which can be used for designing molybdenum disulfide nanoribbon-based current switches.

While the development of lab-on-chip is increasing, the lack of dedicated computer-aided design tools appears as a bottleneck preventing the emergence of large-scale industrial applications. One of the answer relied on 50 years of CAD experience in microelectronic. Based on this fact, and using this environment, multi-domain libraries (fluidic, biological, chemical) are to be designed. Among other, the development of efficient compact model for microfluidic devices is a first step toward such design tool. This paper deals with a continuous microfluidic mixer. Our model takes as inputs the flow rates and the concentrations of each fluid to mix and returns the flow rate and the concentration profiles across the channel at its output. The model depends also on some physical parameters (e.g. diffusion coefficient of fluids) and mixing channel geometry. The model is validated by comparison with finite-element simulation performed with COMSOL Multiphysics. Comparisons are made on several cases. We demonstrated that the model gives a good estimation of the concentration profile, with an error of less than 2% compared to the finite element simulator.
