  • An ultra low power frequency reference for timekeeping applications

    Creator:
    Oporta, Hector Ivan
    Abstract:
    An ultra low power crystal oscillator that provides a frequency reference for battery powered timekeeping applications is presented. An amplitude control circuit is employed to ensure that minimum current is consumed. A subthreshold voltage regulator provides a supply voltage for the oscillator with minimum current consumption. The oscillator and regulator...

  • Contributions to a Java recommender system

    Creator:
    Wang, Yun
    Abstract:
    Identifying the most relevant items in an e-commerce site is becoming more and more difficult nowadays because of the heavy overload of information. A Java Recommender System that uses Collaborative Filtering techniques has been developed to reduce such information overload and even personalize the information to the individual’s preference. The...

  • End-user testing for the Lyee methodology using the screen transition paradigm and WYSIWYT

    Creator:
    Brown, Darren, Burnett, Margaret, 1949-, and Rothermel, Gregg
    Abstract:
    End-user specification of Lyee programs is one goal envisioned by the Lyee methodology. But with any software development effort comes the possibility of faults. Thus, providing end users a means to enter their own specifications is not enough; they must also be provided with the means to find faults in...

  • Accurately tunable low-voltage continuous-time filters

    Creator:
    Vemulapalli, Gowtham
    Abstract:
    A tuning technique which tunes the continuous time filter very accurately is proposed in this thesis. This technique overcomes the problem of master slave mismatch, thus tuning the filter accurately. The mismatch minimization is done on power up on foreground while the background tuning is always operational. Once the mismatch...

  • High-speed CMOS dual-modulus presalers for frequency synthesis

    Creator:
    Desikachari, Ranganathan
    Abstract:
    Phase-locked loop (PLL) frequency synthesizers lie at the heart of most radio transceivers. An important objective of the electronics and communications industry is to design high-speed building blocks which dissipate the lowest possible power, and to ac- complish this with the cheapest technology. The dual-modulus prescaler is one of the...

  • Analysis and modeling of multi-mode effects in coplanar waveguide bends

    Creator:
    Senguttuvan, Rajarajan
    Abstract:
    A novel method for modeling bends in coplanar waveguides (CPWs) is described. The CPW can be viewed as a pair of parallel coupled quasi-slot lines. Bends in the CPW are modeled as a non-uniform coupled line system in terms of their even- and odd- mode characteristics. This modeling approach is...

  • Accuracy enhancement techniques in low-voltage high-speed pipelined ADC design

    Creator:
    Li, Jipeng
    Abstract:
    Pipelined analog to digital converters (ADCs) are very important building blocks in many electronic systems such as high quality video systems, high performance digital communication systems and high speed data acquisition systems. The rapid development of these applications is driving the design of pipeline ADCs towards higher speed, higher dynamic...

  • A DSP controlled multi-level inverter providing DC-link voltage balancing, ride-through enhancement and common-mode voltage elimination

    Creator:
    Dai, Shaoan
    Abstract:
    With the development of high performance power electronic and semiconductor technologies, Adjustable Speed Drive (ASD) systems are increasingly applied in residential, commercial and industrial applications. Due to the advantages at higher power ratings, the three-level Neutral-Point-Clamped (NPC) Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) is being employed in industrial and traction applications, static...

  • Predictive methodologies for substrate parasitic extraction and modeling in heavily doped CMOS substrates

    Creator:
    Sharma, Ajit
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents an automated methodology to calibrate the substrate profile for accurate prediction of substrate parasitics using Green's function based extractors. The technique requires fabrication of only a few test structures and results in an accurate three layered approximation of a heavily doped epitaxial silicon substrate. The obtained substrate...

  • Design of high efficiency step-down switched capacitor DC/DC converter

    Creator:
    Ma, Mengzhe
    Abstract:
    Recently, switched capacitor DC/DC converters are extensively used in portable electronic devices because they feature many advantages, such as high efficiency, small package, low quiescent current, minimal external components and low cost. In this thesis, two step-down switched capacitor DC/DC converters are designed. One has the fixed output options 1.5V,...
