Krasav Dielectric-loaded surface plasmon polariton waveguides (DLSPPWs) provide a very efficient means to localize and guide optical signal, which makes them a promising candidate for the construction of highly-integrated photonic circuits. Here, ...

High-reliability and safety-critical markets for microelectromechanical systems are driving new proposals for the integration of efficient builtin test and monitoring functions. The realisation of this technology will require support tools and validation methodologies including fault simulation and testability analysis and full closed-loop simulation techniques to ensure cost and quality target...

Substrate noise effects caused by the integration of a DC-DC converter into a 0.13 μm CMOS technology integrated circuit are investigated in this paper. Simulations performed using the Substrate Noise Analyst tool show strong impact of switching and power supply noise on a sensitive analog block. The dependence of substrate noise coupling on physical separation distance, floorplanning and intro...
