In this Letter, we propose a class of nonlinear dynamic translinear circuits as a viable tool for the rapid and systematic implementation of chaotic oscillators in analog integrated circuits. In this regard, our primary focus is on multiple-input translinear element (MITE) networks and their particular merits. We also describe, as an illustrative example, our monolithic implementation of the Lo...

Multi-threshold CMOS (MTCMOS) is commonly utilized for suppressing leakage currents in idle integrated circuits. The deactivation/reactivation energy consumption however degrades the effectiveness of the MTCMOS technique for providing significant savings in total energy consumption in CMOS integrated circuits. The sources of mode transition energy consumption in noise-aware MTCMOS circuits are ...
