The oscillatory neural networks are kind of networks that try to model the behavior of the biological neurons in the part of the nervous system responsible of the vision processing. These networks are developing fast in the applications of image processing. Although they consume a lot of processing time by computer simulations, their implementation on integrated circuit is still in the early stages. We develop a MOS transistor circuit that implements Ellias-Grossberg (EG) oscillatory model. This development came on three stages: the behavioral simulation stage, the pre-circuit level stage and the transistor level implementation stage. The behavior of the three levels of implementation is compared.

A single-poly floating gate non volatile memory cell is presented. In this device the second poly layer is removed to make the device compatible with standard logic CMOS process. An array of cells with high storage density has been fabricated on a standard 0.25 /spl mu/m CMOS process with a special architecture. All memory cells tolerate 60000 cycles of endurance test and show 10 years of data retention. Using this cell, a small to medium size (typically 64 K*8b) Flash EEPROM array would be integrated in standard logic CMOS process.

In this paper, a study on the relationship between UV cured die-attach film (UVDAF) characterizes, process design, and the failure mechanism of reliability test were reported. The novelty films were a multifunctional tape, which consists of the function for dicing tape and die bonding tape. It focused on investigation of the behavior under the JEDEC level 3 precondition conditions, pressure cook test (PCT) and thermal cycle test (TCT). Besides, the paper discusses the thermal history effect on the chemical stability of UVDAF for the reliability issue. For instance, initial crosslinkage temperature of UVDAF affect on effectually contact area after the die-mount process. The cure kinetic and thermal resistances of the UVDAF were analyzed by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Thermo gravimetric Analysis (TGA). The delamination surfaces were analysis by Scanning Acoustic Tomograph (SAT), Cross-section were scanned by electronic microscopy (SEM) and Optical Microscope (OM). The thermo-deformation and pressure-induced flow behaviors of UVDAF were evaluated by both penetration mode in Thermal Mechanical Analyzers (TMA) and dynamic mode in rheology test, respectively. Furthermore, OM and SEM results revealed that the chemical stability of UVDAF in process, from die-mount to molding, affect the final effectually adhesive area that obviously influenced the quality of stack CSP reliability.

There exist a number of algorithms for minimization of MVL functions. The main objective is to produce near minimal expressions for MVL functions at an affordable cost (measured in terms of CPU time). Among the proposed heuristic-based techniques, direct cover-based techniques have received the most attention. In this paper, we analyze two of the existing direct cover techniques in terms of the number of implicants needed to synthesize a given function. We introduce five modified techniques and analyze them as well. An overall comparison is conducted among the existing and the proposed techniques. The analysis is based on performance measures of these techniques for 50,000 2-variable 4-valued and 21,000 2-variable 5-valued randomly selected functions. The analysis shows that algorithm DM/spl I.bar/MIN-2 outperforms all other considered algorithms. The algorithm introduced by Besslich is outperformed by all considered algorithms.

In this paper, a new CMOS output buffer with low switching noise and load adaptability is presented. Instead of using current source, the current limiter is proposed to reduce switching noise and the static power dissipation. The output ringing is lowered by automatically turning off one driving stage near the end of the output transition. Compared with the previous designs, the proposed buffer has less switching noise and optimized output ringing and speed. Without the feedback control circuit, the proposed method is simple and easy to be implemented.

The design and implementation of a gm-C complex filter for low-IF WLAN is described. Fifth-order transitional complex Bessel-Chebyshev filter is implemented to compromise between high attenuation and low group-delay variation. The circuit is fabricated using 0.18 /spl mu/m CMOS process. Measured results show that the filter provides 30 dB to 40 dB image rejection and 18 dB adjacent channel rejection, while keeping a low group-delay variation of below 6.0ns within the pass-band. High frequency and wide bandwidth filter also requires stringent design specification of the circuitries. Differential inverter transconductor is optimized for this gm-C continuous-time filter design. The complete filter including on-chip tuning circuit and bandgap consumes only 7.5 mA with 1.8 V single supply voltage.

In this work a new SCR model is developed by applying the Gummel-Poon circuit model to the two-transistor configuration. This model naturally takes into consideration the high injection effects. Conductivity modulation is taken into consideration by using nonlinear current sources. The model parameters are defined and extracted according to a new methodology. The simulation results are compared with the measured results. The developed model satisfactorily describes the performance of the thyristor under practical operating conditions.

A new small-signal model of the dual-gate GaAs MESFET (DGFET) is described. The model does not deal with the DGFET as a cascode connection of two single-gate FET (SGFET) parts but as a four-port device. The model parameters are extracted directly from the measured s-parameters. The new small-signal model is tested on sixteen devices at many bias conditions over the frequency range 0.5-26.5 GHz. The calculated S-parameters using the new small-signal model show very good agreement with the measured data.
