Dynamic domino logic circuits are widely used in modern digital VLSI circuits. These dynamic circuits are often favored in high performance designs because of the speed advantage offered over static CMOS logic circuits. The main drawbacks of dynamic logic are lack of design automation and less tolerance to noise. In performance-critical applications, Domino logic is widely employed since it has...

Current differential based wide area protection (WAP) has recently been proposed as a technique to increase the reliability of protection systems. It increases system stability and can prevent large contingencies such as cascading outages and blackouts. This paper describes how power differential protection (PDP) can be used within a WAP and shows that the algorithm operates correctly for a...

In this paper, a design methodology to implement low-power and high-speed 2nd order recursive digital Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filter has been proposed. Since IIR filters suffer from a large number of constant multiplications, the proposed method replaces the constant multiplications by using addition/subtraction and shift operations. The proposed new 6T adder cell is used as the Carry-S...

Decisions about product development in mass customization (MC) are crucial but complex. It is suggested the use of Decision Support Systems (DSS) to improve decision-making within the product development process (PDP) in mass customization systems to better serve not only to organizational demands, as well as to market demands. Thus, we conducted an exploratory literature review aiming to ident...

Power consumption and especially leakage power are the main concerns of nano MOSFET technology. On other hand, binary circuits face a huge number interconnection wires, which results in dissipation area. Researchers introduced emerging nanodevices multiple-valued logic (MVL) as two feasible solutions to overcome challenges mentioned above. Carbon nanotube field-effect transistor (CNFET) is one ...

In this paper, the transient device performance analysis of n-type Gate Inside JunctionLess Transistor (GI-JLT) has been evaluated. 3-D Bohm Quantum Potential (BQP) transport device simulation has been used to evaluate the delay and power dissipation performance. GI-JLT has a number of desirable device parameters such as reduced propagation delay, dynamic power dissipation, power and delay prod...

Scaling challenges and limitations of conventional silicon transistors have led the designers to apply novel nano-technologies. One of the most promising and possible nano-technologies is CNT (Carbon Nanotube) based transistors. CNFET have emerged as the more practicable and promising alternative device compared to the other nanotechnologies. This technology has higher efficiency compared to th...

We report a 72.8 GHz fully static frequency divider in AIInAs/InGaAs HBT IC technology. The CML divider operates with a 350 mV logic swing at less than OdBm input power up to a maximum clock rate of 63 GHz and requires 8.6 dBm of input power at the maximum clock rate of 72.8GHz. Power dissipation per flip-flop is 55mW with a 3.1V power supply. To our knowledge this is the highest frequency of o...

Enterprises need continuous product development activities to remain competitive in the marketplace. Their product development process (PDP) must manage stakeholders’ needs – technical, financial, legal, and environmental aspects, customer requirements, Corporate strategy, etc. -, being a multidisciplinary and strategic issue. An approach to use real option to support the decision-making proces...

The emergence of a new production paradigm has been widely discussed in the literature. Concepts developed in operations management research related to the new paradigm should also be valid and useful in construction. Unfortunately, these have been weakly applied in the product development processes in most companies, despite the importance of this process. The product development process (PDP)...
