A novel methodology of thermal impedance measurement by temperature monitoring out of the heat source in a power transistor is presented. A low-cost Infra-Red (IR) head is used to register evolution of temperature after step-function powering. A dedicated power generator has been developed to synchronize temperature recording with power dissipation in a device. Estimation of temperature in the heat source is performed by 3D FEM modelling of multilayer transistor structure. It allows fitting the measurement and simulation results to achieve the classically-defined thermal impedance in the heat source.

Continuously excited Raman scattering in optical fibers is proposed for temperature remote sensing in a Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) system. Such an approach is suitable for average temperature measurements over the entire optical fiber or in the chosen set points. The system is operating at 1550 nm to achieve long distance temperature applications. This paper proposes the use of sensitive NIR spectrometer instead on WDM splitter. It allows controlling and choosing the appropriate wavelength of the Raman Anti-Stokes and Raman Stokes backscattered radiation. Moreover, two different types of optical fibers were tested in order to verify the DTS system capabilities, and to present the different impact of temperature upon different optical fibers types. The obtained results were satisfying and promising.

The work presents the design of an area-efficient low-noise high-performance CMOS transimpedance amplifier for optical time-domain reflectometers. The proposed solution is based on a low-noise capacitive feedback structure and shows a gain of 83/80 dBΩ with the bandwidth reaching 1.1 GHz and average input-referred noise current density below $1.8 mathrm{pA}/sqrt{mathrm{Hz}}$ in the presence of a 0.7 pF total input capacitance. The noise-efficient feedback structure allows addressing noise problem of conventional feed-forward or resistive feedback devices with the total power consumption around 21 mW while running at 1.8 V power supply. A more accurate design methodology is proposed based on explicit modeling of the biasing circuits and decoupling capacitor and modifications to the reference design are suggested including circuits for PMOS-based biasing and DC current elimination.

Speed or clock rate of the first microprocessor released to the market in 1971 was 740 kHz. This microprocessor was intended for calculator application. Continuing increase of microprocessor speed and computing power led to explosion of numerous applications. Five decades later microprocessors speed reached 5 GHz and they have enough computing power leading to such wonders as an artificial intelligence, virtual reality and self-driving autonomous cars which were before only in a science fiction domain. However, an increase of a chip speed is very challenging and it comes with high price. The most straightforward chip speed improvement based on transistor physical dimensions scaling eventually ran out of steam. This led to stress (1990s) followed by strain (2000s) techniques development. When this became insufficient new device structure, FinFET, has been introduced into main stream manufacturing in 2011. However, similarly to the previous approaches, increasing computing power of microprocessors based on FinFET is running now out of steam due to difficult technological barriers and integration challenges. Difficulties and challenges outlined in this paper may end era of microprocessor computing power improvement based on classical silicon technology.

This paper presents results and conclusions derived from simulations of tens structures of Parallel Prefix Adders considering over a dozen activity scenarios of input vector changes. Based on extended power model of static CMOS gates accurate analysis is done, thanks to the fact, that the model take into consideration changes of input vectors, not only switching activity of signals. Various structures of PG tree have been examined: regular, non-regular, with grey cells only, with both grey and black and with higher valency cells. Obtained results shows that some structures are better for some kind of summed data, but general remarks for adders design can be derived.

The paper describes an implementation of a Brooks-Iyengar algorithm on the Microchip PIC18F4550 platform. The circuit is considered as a testing platform to check the algorithm concept simulated in MATLAB before the final implementation as ASIC IP core. The results confirm the correctness of the proposed approach, which will be used in the final IP Core design.

In the paper electrical and optical properties of a LED lamp of the HUE type are analysed. This lamp has a possibility to remote control the mode of its operation. Properties of this class of lamps given by the producer was characterised and the measuring set-up to measure electrical and optical parameters of the considered lamps are proposed. The obtained results of measurements of the investigated lamps emitting light of different colours are shown and discussed. Attention was paid on parameters characterising influence of the LED lamp on the electroenergy network. Additionally, influence of feeding voltage, the fixed value of illuminance and colour of the emitted light on THD and PF parameters is analysed and discussed.
