Multibit delta-sigma conversion requires an internal DAC so extraordinarily accurate that signal processing to move DAC hardware-mismatch error outside the signal band appears necessary. Here the error-shaping DACs reported previously are shown mathematically to be special cases of a general architecture convenient for analysis and simulation.

A PWM sampling process for low-power digital Class D amplifiers with low harmonic distortion is proposed. By means of a novel algorithm, the Natural Sampling Process is emulated through a Delta-Compensation Uniform Sampling Process. This algorithm features a simple circuit implementation (small IC area), low power operation (low sampling rate) and a highly desirable low harmonic distortion.

Cache memories are used to reduce the memory latency in systems. While instruction references of a CPU exhibit high temporal and spatial locality, disk references exhibit very minimal temporal and spatial locality. Owing to the fact that most of the block replacement algorithms exploit the available locality to improve cache performance, they are more effective with CPU instruction caches than with disk caches. This paper presents the results of an investigation of cache write policies and the impact of the Least Recently Used (LRU) and the Segmented LRU (SLRU) block replacement algorithms on the performance of disk caches. To obtain optimal performance at all workloads and cache sizes, an adaptive write caching policy is introduced. The adaptive write caching policy does a dynamic selection of the write policy at run time. Simulations reveal that when the cache size is less than 2 MB, caches employing adaptive write caching policy are 17% faster over caches employing write-back policy. For cache sizes of 16 MB and above the performance improvement is 9%. The performance improvement of caches employing adaptive write caching policy over caches employing write-through policy is 2.65% for cache sizes of 2 MB and is 27%, for cache sizes of 16 MB and above. The adaptive write caching policy yields optimum performance for many of the disk workloads and disk cache sizes.

Treats the harmonic interference removal where the frequency of the interference is a rational number and known in advance. In order to remove the interference from the corrupted signal without distortion we propose a structure, which uses a comb filter with a fractional delay. The polyphase structure with two output branches approximates a fractional delay. The proposed structure is convenient for the case when the delay is a ratio of high integers.

An 8-bit VHDL based 2-D median filter is designed using Mentor Graphic tools. The algorithm is based on sorting pixel samples and extracting their median values. The code was synthesized and optimized for an IC layout using CMOS 2 micron technology. The principal organization of the memory elements to store data that perform two dimensional transpose application is presented. A Matlab program for this algorithm was written, tested, and verified on 400/spl times/400 pixel images.

A comparison of two simple models for operational amplifiers is undertaken in this paper. One model is termed the one-pole rolloff model, and this model has been used with good results for several decades. The other model has been utilized from time-to-time in recent years. Three criteria are stated for a "good" model, and it is shown that one of the models fails to meet one of the criteria.

Presents the theory supporting a new diagnostic method for a thermographic system. A finite element analysis of a hot thyroid nodule is developed and used for diagnosis utilizing thermal imaging. The new non-invasive diagnostic technique was applied to patients having Graves' diseases at the Indiana University (IU) Hospital, and compared with the existing scheme that utilizes I Scan. The results of the new diagnostic method were in very good agreement with the current existing method. The new technique is advantageous in that it can be safely applied to children and pregnant women, and is cost effective compared to the current techniques.

This paper presents a new configuration for linear MOS voltage-to-current converters (transconductors). The proposed circuit combines two previously reported linearization methods. The novel topology exhibits very good linearity for both balanced and unbalanced inputs. The linearity is preserved during the tuning process for a moderate range of transconductance values.

By integrating in the representation of electrical circuits the properties of the physical laws which govern their functioning, we propose a way to construct a representation such that two circuits which "function in the same way" have the same representation. In this article, we show that the bond graph representation is a good candidate for such a functional representation because its formalism deletes a piece of information which is useless for analyzing the circuit's functioning. However, the existing algorithms which transform a circuit into a bond graph are not fully adapted to this formalism. A more suitable algorithm is proposed, based on the Tutte decomposition of graphs. This algorithm associates a unique bond graph with a given circuit and it formalizes the "inspection method" suggested by Karnopp [1975]. With this new algorithm, the gap between the bond graph representation and the functional representation is reduced.
