This paper presents a novel parasitic-insensitive switched-capacitor (PISC) sensing circuit design in order to obtain high sensitivity and ultra linearity and reduce the parasitic effect for the out-of-plane single-gimbaled decoupled CMOS-MEMS gyroscope (SGDG). According to the simulation results, the proposed PISC circuit has better sensitivity and high linearity in a wide dynamic range. Exper...

This work presents a very compact self-biasing dynamic startup circuit for class-C voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs). Using referenceless nonlinear inverting stage, the solution has been implemented in 28-nm CMOS technology 14-GHz oscillator, leading to VCO time better than 20 ns, at par with fastest circuits literature, an extremely area of 0.003 mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/M...

In this article we present multiple-aperture photography, a new method for analyzing sets of images captured with different aperture settings, with all other camera parameters fixed. Using an image restoration framework, we show that we can simultaneously account for defocus, high dynamic range exposure (HDR), and noise, all of which are confounded according to aperture. Our formulation is base...
