A CMOS realization of the current-feedback differential difference amplifier (CFDDA) is proposed. The CFDDA circuit is realized using a wide input range dependent load transconductor (DTA) with three independent input voltages and a rail to rail classAB voltage buffer. The CFDDA circuit is used to realize a MOS-C oscillator suitable for VLSI. PSpice simulation results for the CFDDA circuit and ...

This paper presents a compact programmable biphasic stimulator for cochlear implants. By employing double-loop negative feedback, the output impedance of the current generator is increased, while maximizing the voltage compliance of the output transistor. To make the stimulator circuit compact, the stimulation current is set by scaling a reference current using a two stage binary-weighted trans...

Design of a silicon readout integrated circuit (ROIC) for LWIR HgCdTe Focal Plane is presented. ROIC incorporates time delay integration (TDI) functionality over seven elements with a supersampling rate of three, increasing SNR and the spatial resolution. Novelty of this topology is inside TDI stage; integration of charges in TDI stage implemented in current domain by using switched current str...

This paper proposes two-stage model for prioritizating decision making units (DMU) where each unit has multiple inputs and outputs. The rst stage model is a noncooperative game where each optimal input-output weight set of DMU is de ned by the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and each DMU evaluates other DMUs by its own weights. The equilibrium state obtained from the rst stage motivates none of...

In this paper, a systematical controller design method for a two-stage grid-connected photovoltaic power conditioning system (PCS) is proposed. For a pre-stage boost converter to achieve the stable operation in the entire region of solar arrays (SAs), the digital resistive current (DRC) mode controller is proposed. This algorithm is very simple to implement with a digital controller and there i...

RONG, GUO. High Efficiency Charge Pump Based DC-DC Converter for Wide Input/ Output Range Applications. (Under the direction of Dr. Alex Q. Huang.) Portable electronic devices are taking an indispensable part in people’s everyday life. To meet the growing needs of people, the number of function blocks inside the portable devices keeps on increasing but the portable devices tend to be small and ...

A new biquadratic filter with three voltage-inputs and one voltageoutput and one current-output is presented. The filter employs two types of current conveyors, grounded resistors and grounded capacitors to realize the lowpass, highpass and bandpass responses by selecting different input signals. The proposed circuit has high input impedance, independent adjustments of angular frequency 0 and q...

A new current source for low-voltage applications is proposed. This current source is well suited for biasing differential pairs and source followers. Measured compliance voltage is slightly smaller than that of a single transistor. Its output resistance is a factor of 25 larger than that of a single transistor current source and was measured to be 8 M : The use of the new current source improv...
