Design of linear transconductance elements in CMOS technology
(1987)
Transconductance elements are useful active building blocks in fully-monolothic analog signal-processing systems. Efforts of the present research have been to develop, fabricate, and experimentally evaluate some novel ...
New technologies for simpler adjustable speed brushless motor drives
(1989)
Recent advances in the power semiconductor technology, including developments of smart-power (High Voltage Integrated Circuits, HVICs), have a direct impact on the research and development efforts in the motor drive ...
The charge-based microelectronic implementation of neural networks
(1992)
The microelectronic implementation of neural networks has received widespread attention over the last few years. However, the scale of the integration is still far below what microelectronics routinely offers in the ...
A wafer-scale boundary value integrated circuit architecture
(1986)
Wafer-Scale Integration (WSI) technology offers the potential for improving speed and reliability of a large integrated circuit system. An architecture is presented for a boundary value integrated circuit engine which lends ...
A wafer scale cellular tree architecture
(1985)
Binary tree architectures are a good candidate for WSI because of the regular use of cells and local communication requirements. Unfortunately, a single critical failure can render an entire structure useless unless suitable ...
A VLSI Cache RISC for the C language
(1986)
The performance of computers has always been the major concern of computer architects and circuit designers. Besides their advantages of ease of design and reliability, the RISCs (Reduced Instruction Set Computers) have ...
Yield and variability optimization of integrated circuits : principles and practical solutions
(1992)
This dissertation deals with both theoretical and practical aspects of integrated circuits (IC's) statistical design. It stresses and explains that the essential difference between IC statistical design and discrete circuit ...
Drift reliability optimization in VLSI ciruit design
(1992)
Due to aggressive scaling of transistor feature size in contemporary Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) circuits, some wearout failure mechanisms have become much more serious than before. Design-for-Reliability is thus ...
Timing analysis of VLSI circuits using symbolic and visualization technics for practical applications
(1992)
In this dissertation, we apply the linear RC delay modeling techniques to empirically model the timing delay in the CMOS VLSI circuits. The multi-dimensional function of various circuit combinations and device parameters ...
