State-space averaging and perturbation analysis is systematically applied to compute the open-loop and closed-loop transfer matrices (Tol and Tcl) of switching converters working in continuous conduction mode. The power supply rejection function, input impedance and output impedance can be read off directly from Tcl. A circuit-level simulation method, the frequency-point spectrum simulation, is proposed that resembles the actual spectrum measurement procedure to verify the analytical results.

In this paper, a custom-designed CMOS image sensor (CIS) is proposed with N-type and P-type pixels fabricated on one chip. A Co radiation experiment is implemented on the proposed CIS chip. Measurement results shows that the P-type pixels have good total ionizing dose (TID) radiation tolerance with less radiation induced dark current compared with N-type pixels. But the dark current nonuniformity of P-type pixels is observed to be enhanced more than N-type ones by TID radiation effect.

This paper describes a fully integrated, low voltage digital low-dropout voltage (DLDO) regulator for ultra-low power applications with a load current aware clock modulation scheme. The proposed DLDO uses a clock modulation technique that provides a fast transient response during load state transitions. The proposed clock modulation (CM) controls the clock frequency when it senses a sudden load current transition. This eliminates the tradeoff between transient time and power efficiency with a fixed clock frequency. Thus, it minimizes the transient response time and maximizes the power and current efficiency. The proposed DLDO operates at 0.6 V and generates 0.55 V output voltage. A test chip is fabricated using 65-nm CMOS technology and demonstrates the current efficiency of 99.7% with the load current from 10 μA to 200 μA with and the quiescent current of 0.9 μA.

Uncovering human mobility patterns is of vital importance to the widely practical applications ranging from urban planning to epidemic controlling. Although numerous previous studies regarding human mobility patterns have been carried out to statistically characterize the dynamics of human mobility in both empirical analysis and modelling approach, research on the level of driving factors of mobility behaviors is still limited. In this paper, we focus on two types of human mobility behaviors which are Non-Spontaneous Mobility and Spontaneous Mobility, respectively. Based on the Wi-Fi access records collected from a university campus, statistical distinctions have been uncovered between these two types of mobility behaviors, where non-spontaneous mobility behaviors display a less heterogeneous but more periodic pattern with a smaller activity range, suggesting the necessity of embedding these two types of behaviors when modelling human mobility.

This paper presents the design of low noise LC oscillator that employs an enhanced inductor, where a distributed grid of N-well in P-substrate of the inductor was design to improve the quality factor of the inductor, therefore improves the phase noise of the oscillator. The electromagnetic (EM) simulation shows that the total equivalent resistance of an inductor is reduced, which results in a higher quality factor. A 5.5GHz cross-coupled CMOS LC oscillator is designed by using this new inductor. Based on the simulation results, the oscillator shows an improvement of 0.7 dBc/Hz in phase noise at 1MHz offset from the carrier, which results a FOM of 189.

Several hardware implementations of elliptic curve cryptography have been recently proposed for resource-constrained applications but few of them considered the power analysis countermeasures. In this paper, a new modular multiplication with zero-value attack countermeasure is proposed. The Montgomery ladder algorithm and randomized projective coordinates method are used to resist simple power analysis and differential power analysis. The circular shift register has been adopted to reduce the area. The overall design has been implemented in binary field. 16.5K Gate Equivalent (GE) area is needed and 10.8ms is required for one scalar point multiplication at 13.56MHz. The implementation result shows that the proposed ECC processor achieves power analysis resistance with low resource cost.

In this paper, a high gain and wideband input match CMOS low-noise amplifier (LNA) is presented for the ultra-wide band (UWB) application. The main novelty lies in significant improvement in bandwidth by using the inverter cell at the input node, with a peaking inductor at the gate of NMOS device. Self-forward-body-bias (SFBB) concept is also used within the inverter cell to mitigate the trade-off between input matching and power consumption. In the second stage, self bias resistive feedback circuit with the drain peaking inductor is used to increase the gain as well as output matching. Using a standard 90 nm CMOS process, the proposed LNA exhibits a peak gain of 15.3 dB at 9.4 GHz, while, it consumes 13.5 mW power from a 0.9 V supply voltage. The simulation results show S11 <−10 dB from 4.6–10.6 GHz frequency, minimum noise figure (NFmin) of 1.21–4.6 dB, output return loss −32 dB1 in the frequency range of 3.1–10.6 GHz. When a two tone test is performed with a frequency spacing of 10 MHz, a highest value of third order input intercept point (IIP3) of −3 dBm is achieved. Its other significant advantages are small group delay variation (±50 ps), and gain variation of ±1.21 dB.

Numerous depth extraction schemes cannot extract depth on textureless regions, thus generating sparse depth maps. In this paper, we propose using perception cues to improve the sparse depth map. We consider the local neighborhood as well the global surface properties of objects. We use this information to complement depth extraction schemes. The method is not scene or class specific. With quantitative evaluation, the proposed method is shown to perform better compared to previous depth refinement methods. The error in terms of standard deviation of depth has been reduced down by 60%. The computational overhead of the proposed method is also very low, making it a suitable candidate for depth refinement.
