This paper is a study of various linear Metal-Oxide-
Semiconductor integrated circuit configurations with the
goal of improving their operation. The operation of MOS
devices is covered including their use as load devices
to replace diffused resistors. The advantages and disadvantages
of the resulting circuits as well as possible
physical...
The exponential characteristic of the base-emitter
Junction in bipolar transistors was used to make an
accurate and fairly temperature independent multiplier.
Using hybrid-pi transistor models and ECAP, a
bandwidth of 350 MHz was predicted. Linearity is
limited by emitter degeneration in the input differential
stage rather than by the small...
Three synthesis methods for the realization of the
voltage transfer function by means of RC elements and
three different active devices are presented. These
three devices are a high-gain amplifier, a voltage controlled
voltage source (VCVS) and a negative immittance
converter (NIC). The VCVS and NIC as well as the...
A circuit designed to generate and maintain a constant magnetic
flux is presented by using a sample-data control system, instead of a
continuous control system.
A Hall generator is used as the magnetic sensing element, and
is operated with a pulse bias to allow a large output. The output of...
With the advancing solid-state technology, it is necessary to
develop new techniques for synthesizing digital networks. The regular
pattern of cellular circuits seems to be the best fitted for the new LSI
technology. Recently, cellular implementations of comibinational circuits
have received considerable attention but very little attention has
been given...
This thesis discusses the analysis, design, and experimental
evaluation of an instrument that can be used to detect the presence or
absence of a signal, not necessarily known, in a noisy background.
The detection principle is based on application of the sign test of
distribution-free statistics to the stochastic process...
The application of residue notation is another
approach for solving the problem of carry propagation in
arithmetic units. Most other methods for solving this
problem are based on changes in adder design and the use
of improved components.
Residue arithmetic has the inherent property of
requiring no carries between moduli....
A high speed adaptive signal processing concept and several high
speed adaptive logic circuit elements are presented.
The adaptive signal processing system operates in a "goal" oriented
mode; the system tries to optimize its characteristics to
achieve a given goal in spite of unforeseen variations in the inputs,
the system,...
