  • A Multiresolution Analysis of Temporal Logic

    Creator:
    Pelphrey, Richard E.
    Abstract:
    Is it possible to determine whether a signal violates a formula in Signal Temporal Logic (STL), if the monitor only has access to a low-resolution version of the signal? We answer this question affirmatively by demonstrating that temporal logic has a multiresolution structure, which parallels the multiresolution structure of signals....

  • Design techniques for low-power multi-GS/s analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    Jiang, Tao
    Abstract:
    Ultra-high-speed (>10GS/s), medium-resolution (5~6bit), low-power (<50mW) analog-to-digital converter can find it application in the areas of digital oscilloscopes and next-generation serial link receivers. There are several challenges to enable a successful design, however. First, the time-interleaved architecture is required in order to achieve over 10GS/s sampling rate, with the trade-off...

  • Design techniques for low-power electrical and optical serial link receivers

    Creator:
    Bai, Rui
    Abstract:
    As computation power continues to grow, the demand for data transfer bandwidth is also rising. This is reflected in the increasing data-rate of high-speed links. However, the increase in data-rate is sustainable only if the I/O energy efficiency improves as well. This dissertation explores several techniques to enable high-speed links...

  • Energy-efficient clock generation for communication and computing systems using injection locking

    Creator:
    Ma, Chao
    Abstract:
    The design of high-performance, high-speed clock generation and distribution becomes challenging in terms of phase noise, jitter and power consumption, due to the fast development of communication and computing systems. Injection locking is a promising clocking technique since it can significantly improve the energy efficiency, suppress the phase noise of...

  • Measurement and analysis of soft error vulnerability of low-voltage logic and memory circuits

    Creator:
    Pawlowski, Robert
    Abstract:
    Scaling the supply voltage into the sub/near-threshold domain is one of the most effective methods for improving the energy efficiency of next-generation electronic microsystems. Unfortunately, the relationship between low-voltage operation and radiation-induced soft error rate is not widely known, as little research has been previously performed and reported for soft-error...

  • TIMR : Time Interleaved Multi Rail

    Creator:
    Ruggeri, Thomas L.
    Abstract:
    This work presents a new energy saving technique for modern digital designs. We propose Time Interleaved Multi-Rail (TIMR) - a method for providing two dynamic supply rails to a circuit. This technique uses the first supply rail to mask the transition delay while changing the voltage of the second rail....

  • Design and modeling of low-power register file memories

    Creator:
    Donkoh, Eric Kwesi
    Abstract:
    With the evolving popularity of new computing platforms such as Ultrabooks, Tablets, and Smart Phones, and the shift to multi-core computing, power is now the key performance limiter, a departure from the traditional frequency limitation. As such, increasingly low-power design solutions feature prominently in early architectural and design space exploration...

  • Single-Ended Techniques for Delta-Sigma Modulators

    Creator:
    Lee, Calvin Y.
    Abstract:
    This work presents a high-resolution Delta-Sigma ADC which combines the use of the pseudo-pseudo-differential noise filtering technique with single-ended ring amplifier based integrators. The pseudo-pseudo-differential noise filtering technique utilizes single-ended circuits while maintaining the even-order rejection found in fully-differential structures which alleviates, in the active analog blocks, the need for...

    Creator:
    Louie, Michael Y. K.
    Abstract:
    Solar photovoltaic is considered one among many new alternatives to satisfy our demand for energy. Solar Cells have undergone changes in the last 50 years or so since its invention in 1954. Solar power is beginning to challenge conventional energy sources in terms of mainstream acceptance. Solar power along with...

    Kang, Jian
    Abstract:
    The prevalence of Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications leads to an increasing focus on the design and optimization of sensor nodes. Battery lifetime and associated costs of battery replacement often limits the long term operation and viability of sensor nodes. RF wireless energy harvesting on the other hand can be appealing since...
