A new active universal filter with single input and three outputs using Operational Floating Current Conveyor (OFCC) is presented. The configuration uses four OFCC, two grounded capacitors and three resistors. The proposed filter offers the following advantageous: (1) Using active elements of the same type (four OFCC). (2) Realization of low pass, band pass and high pass, filters simultaneously. (3) No requirements for component matching conditions or cancellation constraints, which makes the universal filter easier to design. (4) Orthogonal adjustment of /spl omega//sub 0/ and Q. (5) the circuit has low sensitivity to passive components, (6) using active elements of the same type (four OFCC) and (7) all the passive elements are grounded. The simulation results show that the proposed filter performs its functions properly.

A novel /spl Sigma//spl Delta/ modulator is presented with lower power consumption and higher Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) than the conventional modulator for a given order. The novel modulator is applied in analog-to-digital converters of RF receivers. The same modulator architecture is used for GSM and WCDMA receivers differing only in the Oversampling Ratio (OSR). The modulator was designed using switched capacitor circuits and could be implemented in VLSI.

A fully CMOS line interface circuit has been developed as an interface to the subscriber line. This design has been done in a 90-V 1/spl mu/m CMOS process and performs high voltage functions of an electrical central office subscriber line interface circuit without any transformer and trimming. This design overcomes challenges of SLIC integration such as accurate current sensing, stability on load variation, longitudinal balance and it works on the harsh telephone environments. The proposed SLIC shows a longitudinal balance of 49 dB while consumes 2.2 mA current with 14 mm/sup 2/ area and the results are significant compared with last works.

In this paper we describe a distributed home monitoring and control system using microcontrollers as device controllers. A host computer acts as a master and client manages the activities of the microcontrollers by instructing them to control their respective devices and collecting data from them. The host and microcontrollers communicate over a Local Area Network (LAN) via Network Interface Card (NICs). The devices can be regular house utilities or appliances. We borrow from the Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI) to design the command packets that are exchanged between the host and the microcontrollers. We present the architecture and design of the microcontroller's communication software and illustrate how it communicates by mean of commands and data to the host. We present performance results in terms of TCP packet round trip time and timing of UDP packet transmission.

An ultrasound imaging systems require high resolution and real-time processing. The real-time imaging can be achieved using a digital beamforming (DBF) method. One of the main important parts of the DBF is the real-time delay calculation. The design and implementation of a pipelined architecture for the beamforming delay calculation is addressed. The design uses a minimum size look-up memory to store the initial scan information as opposed to previous approaches. The circuit is implemented in CMOS 0.18 /spl mu/m technology and the resulting layout area is 0.5 mm/sup 2/, while a total power consumption of 20 mW.

In this paper we present a new physically based closed-form inductance expressions for design, compact modeling and characterization of on-chip integrated inductors. We evaluate the accuracy of our expressions, as well as the most popular previously published expressions, by comparing the calculated values with measured data. It is found that our expressions match the measured inductance values typically within around 5%.

In this paper, a graphical method for the determination of the transfer curves of a MOS differential pair is presented. It will be assumed that the individual transfer curves of the two input transistors are well known. Next it will be assumed that there is an ideal current source in the tail of the differential pair and that the input transistors operate in the saturate region.

A performance evaluation of the new JPEG2000 ISO standard for still image compression is conducted for VLIW processor. The complexity of the standard and the rich set of proposed features make it difficult to find straightforward implementations. In this paper we present results of various compiler optimization techniques on the processor CPI.

In this paper, a new method is suggested for designing an optically controlled power static switch module. Considerations are presented in order to reach an optimal design. Plastic optical fiber is used to transfer optical signals generated by the controller. Circuits of the module don't use auxiliary power supply. Therefore, problems due to power supply isolation are removed and less complexity is obtained. Losses are reduced using switching techniques for regulation. The module can operate in a wide range of switching frequency and could be used in either dc or ac applications.
