Small Signal Simulation in the s-Plane Frédéric Poullet, Gilles Depeyrot, Florian Espalieu In analog circuit design, small-signal analysis is one of the first steps for studying the stability of the circuit or obtaining the transfer function (voltage gain, trans-impedance, power rejection, etc.). This analysis linearizes all of the non-linear devices in the circuit; the resultant

  Spinner System by Dolphin Integration: optimized design and integration methodology based on pulsed latch for drastic area reduction in logic designs   Lionel JURE Systems-on-a-chip (SoC) design complexity is continuously increasing over the years, and 100 Million gates circuits are now taping out. Additionally, the logic gate count has evolved so as to represent

IcyHeart: Highly integrated ultra-low-power SoC solution for unobtrusive and energy efficient wireless cardiac monitoring: Research project for the benefit of specific groups (FP7, Capacities) IEEE 12th International Conference on BioInformatics and BioEngineering Milis, M.; Michaelides, K.; Kounoudes, A.; Ansaloni, G.; Atienza, D.; Giroud, F.; Ruedi, P.; Masson, F. The objective of the IcyHeart project is

Period Deviation Tolerance Templates: A Novel Approach to Evaluation and Specification of Self-Synchronizing Audio Converters AES Convention:133 (October 2012) – Paper Number: 8729 Legray, Francis; Heeb, Thierry; Genevey, Sebastien; Kuo, Hugo Subject: Amplifiers, Transducers, and Equipment Self-synchronizing converters represent an elegant and cost effective solution for audio functionality integration into SoC (System-on-Chip) as they integrate

Automated on-the-fly verification of designs using detector-based methodology Dirk Dammers, Wei Guo, Frédéric Masson, Lars M. Voßkämper Mixed-signal simulation of systems, i.e. analog & digital electronics with attached peripherals, such as sensors and actuators, already has an essential place in today’s design process. While the verification of the digital parts, mostly implemented in Verilog and
