This paper describes a method that automates a key step in producing run-time recon gurable designs: the identi cation and mapping of recongurable regions. In this method, two successive circuit con gurations are matched to locate the components common to them, so that recon guration time can be minimized. The circuit congurations are represented as a weighted bipartite graph, to which an e cie...

We introduce the concept of combed graphs and present an ear decomposition theorem for this class of graphs. This theorem includes the well known ear decomposition theorem for matching covered graphs proved by Lovász and Plummer. Then we use the ear decomposition theorem to show that any two edges of a 2-connected combed graph lie in a balanced circuit of an equivalent combed graph. This result...

Development of neural circuitry relies on precise matching between correct synaptic partners and appropriate synaptic strength tuning. Adaptive developmental adjustments may emerge from activity and calcium-dependent mechanisms. Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) has been associated with developmental synaptic plasticity, but its varied roles in different synapses and devel...

A detailed analysis of the tunability of a radio-frequency quantum point contact setup using a C - LCR circuit is presented. We calculate how the series capacitance influences resonance frequency and charge-detector resistance for which matching is achieved as well as the voltage and power delivered to the load. Furthermore, we compute the noise contributions in the system and compare our findi...

A new high input impedance voltage-mode universal biquadratic filter with three input terminals and five output terminals is presented. The proposed circuit uses three plus-type differential difference current conveyors, two grounded resistors and two grounded capacitors. The proposed circuit can realize all the standard filter functions: lowpass, bandpass, highpass, notch and allpass, without ...

A new type of compact chirped-pulse-amplification circuit for high-power amplification of femtosecond pulses in an optical fiber is demonstrated. This circuit is based on a novel pulse compressor, chirped-period quasi-phase-matching gratings in electric-field-poled lithium niobate. The main advantages of this circuit are simplicity, the small number of components, compactness, and wavelength co...

In this paper, we propose a modified method for the circuit analysis using wavelet transform with adaptive resolutions. Recently, many approaches to the circuit analysis using the wavelet transform have been proposed. Previously, we proposed method which can choose adaptive resolution automatically using multiresolution analysis. However, the method cannot be applied when the waveform has the s...

A high-linearity and high-efficiency MMIC power amplifier is demonstrated adopting a new on-chip adaptive bias circuit, which improves efficiency at the low output power level and linearity at the high output power level automatically. The intelligent two-stage W-CDMA power amplifier using the newly proposed adaptive bias circuit extends the maximum linear output power of 0.6dB and exhibits an ...
