This paper discusses architectural and circuit-level aspects related to hardware realizations of fuzzy controllers. A brief overview on fuzzy inference methods is given focusing on chip implementation. The singleton or zero-order Sugeno’s method is chosen since it offers a good trade-off between hardware simplicity and control efficiency. The CMOS microcontroller described herein processes info...

This review paper reports the prerequisites of a monolithic integrated terahertz (THz) technology capable meeting network capacity requirements beyond-5G wireless communications system (WCS). Keeping in mind that signal generation for networks relies on power loss management, we propose single computationally efficient software design tool featuring cutting-edge optical devices and high speed I...

The concept of a manufacturable technology that can provide parallel optical interconnects directly to a VLSI circuit, proposed over 15 years ago in [1], now appears to be a reality. One such optoelectronic-VLSI (OE-VLSI) technology is based on the hybrid flip-chip area-bonding of GaAs/AlGaAs Multiple-Quantum Well (MQW) electro-absorption modulator devices directly onto active silicon CMOS circ...

We investigate the different characteristics of the intensity noise of a laser-diode-pumped single-frequency ring Nd:YVO (4) laser and a Nd:YVO (4)-KTP green laser. By use of an optoelectronic feedback circuit connected directly to the pump current of the laser diode, the low-frequency intensity noise of the intracavity frequency doubler was suppressed to some extent.

Technologies for designing and building microelectronics-based computational equipment have been steadily advancing ever since the first commercial discrete circuits (ICs) were introduced in the late 1950s (1) (monolithic integrated circuits were introduced in the 1960s). As predicted by Moore's law in the 1960s (2), integrated-circuit density has been doubling approximately every 18 months, an...

Most modern entertainment gadgets, equipment and tools incorporate integrated circuits that perform some specific functions that make the entertainment experience fascinating for users. From the simple toys for toddlers to the complex game studios in casinos, hardware forms a major component of entertainment technology. With the advent of integrated circuits, and subsequent development of CMOS ...
