Memristors have sparked substantial interest in the hardware implementation of brain-inspired neuromorphic devices and systems. In this work, we propose a digital circuit to emulate the Pavlov's associative memory experiments based on fabricated Ag/TiO2/Pt memristors. Memristors operate as a logical signal processing unit in conjunction with the register to implement the emulation. The design of digital circuitry substantially increases the frequency of the system and reduces its power consumption and cost.

In this paper, a polynomial fitted poly-harmonic distortion (PHD) model is proposed, and it is implemented with frequency defined device (FDD). Polynomial fitting technique provides an effective method to including PHD model with different input power states through single set of model parameter. It can greatly reduce the model extraction complexity, and compact the model file size. The basic theory of PHD model, polynomial fitting method, and the FDD technique is provided in this work. A 10 W Gallium Nitride (GaN) packaged transistor is used in the test example. The results show that the proposed model has high accuracy for both fundamental and second harmonic behavioral predictions.

This paper presents a fast sampling open-circuit voltage algorithm for piezoelectric energy harvesting, which directly samples the output of the piezoelectric transducer and limits the sampling time to one piezoelectric vibration period. Therefore, it greatly reduces the power loss caused by the open-circuit sampling and improves the efficiency of the piezoelectric energy harvesting. The proposed circuit is implemented in 0.18 µm standard CMOS process, and the core circuit area is 670×536 µm2. The circuit can sample the open-circuit voltage in less than one piezoelectric vibration cycle and output the maximum power point voltage, and the power loss rate is less than 0.79%.

Due to its low cost, the Cu/Sn/Ni microbump is the most widely used structure in electronic packaging. Recent studies have characterized the evolution of the microstructure and phase formation in this system, and a unique (Cu,Ni)6Sn5 phase has been discovered with a high Ni content. However, there has been debate over the formation mechanism of this phase. This study builds a model of the formation mechanism of (Cu,Ni)6Sn5 and provides direct proof.

The S parameter amplitude, latency, resistance, and inductance of TSV-RDL structures with the presence of five kinds of defects are simulated as feature vectors for defect detection and classification. Three nondestructive defect classification schemes for the TSV-RDL structure in advanced packaging are evaluated. Feedforward neural network with rectified linear unit activation function for the backpropagation algorithm is superior for defect classification and may play an important role in design for test and build-in self-repair circuit design.

Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is an emerging robotic technology enabling autonomous robots to self-localize and map the surrounding environments. However, SLAM system is time and resource consuming, making it hard to implement on mobile devices. In this work, ROPY-SLAM, a novel heterogeneous framework for SLAM is proposed to take advantage of various devices such as personal computer and FPGA. The proposed system reduces the execution time by 28.6% and resource utilization by at most 71.2%. Moreover, ROPY-SLAM supports more flexible hardware and software implementations, providing a solution for distributed calculation of robotic applications.

This paper presents an ultra-low quiescent current bandgap reference (BGR) with current loading capability. Based on sharing an error amplifier (EA) between the BGR core and the power transistor driving circuit, the maximum load current of the BGR is extended to 5mA without relying on an output buffer. The BGR uses a dual-clamping structure to achieve low temperature coefficient (TC) and improved DC regulation. The proposed BGR is designed in a standard 0.18-µm CMOS process. Measurement results show that the input voltage range is 1.68V -2V while the output voltage is 1.19V. The quiescent current is 210nA with a maximum load current of 5mA. In the temperature range of - 40°C to 125°C, the TC of the output voltage is 9.7ppm/ °C and 30. 76ppm/ °C at the light and heavy loads, respectively. Good line and load regulations are also achieved.

Dynamic vision sensor (DVS), an event-based camera, has attracted significant attention due to its unique characteristics. Unlike frame-based cameras, the data format of DVS makes it difficult for traditional algorithms to process it directly. On the other hand, as a new type of brain-like neural network, the spiking neural network is specially used to process spiking data, and it is well suited for this type of event-based camera. In addition, because of the rapid development of neuromorphic hardware in recent years, it is possible to deploy SNN applications on edge-side system-on-chip. Therefore, based on the characteristics of dynamic vision sensors, this paper designs a spike encoding module and an SNN for processing sensor information. We use selective search to accomplish object tracking by classifying targets and backgrounds. The SNN can achieve 98.66% classification accuracy on our synthetic test dataset, and the tracking algorithm can achieve over 1000 fps after quantizing and compiling the network to the hardware simulator.
