Analog to Digital converter plays an important role as the interface between analog and digital signal processing. The performance of ADC is improved by power consumption of comparator (nearly 60% of power) used in ADC circuit. In such application which requires low power consumption and high speed and high resolution, one of the most prevalently used ADC architectures is the Folding and Interp...

We propose the analog-digital quantum simulation of the quantum Rabi and Dicke models using circuit quantum electrodynamics (QED). We find that all physical regimes, in particular those which are impossible to realize in typical cavity QED setups, can be simulated via unitary decomposition into digital steps. Furthermore, we show the emergence of the Dirac equation dynamics from the quantum Rab...

This paper describes the application of CLP (constraint logic programming) to several digital circuit design problems. It is shown that logic programming together with efficient constraint propagation techniques is an adequate programming environment for complex real world problems like high level synthesis, simulation, code generation, and memory synthesis. Different types of constraints Boole...

The two-bit multiplier is a simple electronic circuit, small enough to be feasible for evolutionary design, and practically useful as a fundamental building block used in the synthesis of many digital systems. To attain understanding of the evolvability of this digital circuit, we consider its evolutionary design as a search on a fitness landscape. We study the structure of two-bit multiplier l...

This paper presents a very low-power and fully programmable CMOS digital active pixel sensor for uncooled IR fast imaging. The proposed circuit topology includes selfbiasing, built-in input capacitance compensation, predictive A/D conversion and a truly digital I/O interface, all at pixel level. Furthermore, full FPN cancellation is also supplied by the external digital tuning of both offset an...

The approaching end of traditional MOSFET technology scaling creates the need to identify novel devices, manufacturing technologies, memories, and architectures to preserve digital computing performance scaling. To this end, we argue for the need to generate circuit-level models and integrate them into existing simulation and digital design infrastructure for rapid architectural design explorat...
