This paper presents a new accurate method for generation of 1/f noise worst cases (WC) based on statistical measurement data. This is implemented in existing state of the art design simulators with a scaled flicker noise model for CMOS. Verification is shown on a noise sensitive analog circuitry as a benchmark for robust flicker noise design. The methodology presented can easily be extended to other devices like BJTs or any other

Iris recognition is accepted as one of the best biometric method. Implementing this method to the practical system requires the special preprocessing where the iris localization plays a crucial role. Iris localization consists of finding the iris boundaries as well as eyelids. In this paper a simple iris localization algorithm is proposed based on iris image segmentation with histogram analysis. Proposed solution was applied for images taken under near infrared light

Architecture of a digital programmable gmC-filter with a linearized operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) is proposed. The gain was varied by 2dB in 4 steps, the cut-off-frequency between 250MHz and 350MHz. Experimental results in a standard 120nm CMOS technology are presented. With this topology the measured harmonic distortion of this filter is -44dB for a 400mV peak-to-peak differential output signal

Silicon carbide electronic devices are already commercially available in a few application areas such as high voltage rectifiers and emerging RF power amplifiers. Over the past 15 years a very rapid progress of both materials and device quality has been seen and is very encouraging for the near future application market. Prototype devices show amazing improvement each year in all device categories as well as a markedly improved wafer quality. However, materials defect issues are still limiting economically viable production of large area devices with high yield. In this paper a thorough review of progress in SiC device process technology and presents the state-of-the art SiC devices as well as new application areas such as ferroelectric field effect transistors

The paper deals with an analog w(inner)-t(ake)-a(ll) network where two input wires are capacitively coupled. The difference between processing times with and without coupling is evaluated by its upper bound. Thus, a performance criterion explicitly expressed as a function of circuit and processing list parameters is obtained

A fully differential operational amplifier featured with rail-to-rail input and output performance, realized by a novel method of constant small- and large-signal behavior control as well as a new symmetrical differential class-AB output is proposed. The small-signal deviation is suppressed within only 1.6%, which is the best result achieved among all the constant behavior rail-to-rail input-stage designs. With suitable compensation, the opamp is able to drive heavy ohmic load down to 100ohm or capacitive load higher than 50pF. Also the total harmonic distortion is reduced owing to the symmetrical push-pull structure for the output stage. With a 1.5V power supply and a capacitive load of 10pF, the low-frequency gain and unity-gain bandwidth of the opamp are 77dB and 4.7MHz, respectively. The chip was fabricated in 120nm digital CMOS technology
