This paper describes a feedthrough reduction technique for a track-and-hold (T/H) circuit with a body-bias control circuit. We propose a T/H circuit with a feedthrough canceller. This circuit cancels a leaking signal to the output node through the parasitic capacitance by using an opposite-phase signal. The simulation results using 90-nm CMOS technology demonstrate a feedthrough of −89.4 dB and...

A 4 order RF LC Σ∆ ADC clocked at 3.6GHz and centered at 900MHz is presented. The simplicity of the ADC architecture results in a significant performance enhancement and power consumption reduction. The ADC, suitable for Software Defined Radio applications, is implemented in a standard 130nm CMOS technology. It achieves a 52dB SFDR and a 50dB SNDR in a 28MHz BW and consumes only 15mW from a 1.2...

Predicate abstraction has emerged to be a powerful technique for extracting nite-state models from in nite-state systems, and has been recently shown to enhance the e ectiveness of the reachability computation techniques for hybrid systems. Given a hybrid system with linear dynamics and a set of linear predicates, the veri er performs an on-they search of the nite discrete quotient whose states...

The problem of degenerate ground states of open-shell atoms is investigated in spin-restricted and spin-unrestricted density functional theories using the exact-exchange energy functional. For the spin-unrestricted case, spurious energy splittings of the order of 2-3 kcal/mol are found for atoms of the second and third periods which are larger than the splittings obtained from recently proposed...

A novel m energy functions method is adopted to analyze the retrieval property of continuous-time asymmetric Hopfield neural networks. Sufficient conditions for the local and global asymptotic stability of the network are proposed. Moreover, an efficient systematic procedure for designing asymmetric networks is proposed, and a given set of states can be assigned as locally asymptotically stable...
