Power dissipation is a serious concern for circuit designers. Partially-depleted SOI provides a Dynamic Threshold MOS transistor that may be useful in reducing static power and dynamic power. DTMOS can be used to choke off leakage current and improve performance of transistors under lower voltage conditions, but suffers from high bodycontact resistance, Miller capacitance, area penalties, and l...

Circuits composed of threshold gates (McCulloch-Pitts neurons, or perceptrons) are simplified models of neural circuits with the advantage that they are theoretically more tractable than their biological counterparts. However, when such threshold circuits are designed to perform a specific computational task, they usually differ in one important respect from computations in the brain: they requ...

New low-power Level Shifter (LS) circuit is designed by using sleep transistor with Multi Threshold CMOS (MTCMOS) technique for robust logic voltage shifting from sub-threshold to abovethreshold domain. MultiSupply Voltage Design (MSVD) technique is mainly used for energy and speed in modern system-on-chip. In MSVD, level shifters are required to allow different voltage supply to shift from the...

We present recent results in an ongoing program to construct a resummation formalism for threshold logarithms at next-to-leading power (NLP) in the threshold expansion. We discuss a factorised expression for the Drell-Yan scattering amplitude, valid at NLP, which arises from the LowBurnett-Kroll-Del Duca theorem, and correctly reproduces all relevant logarithms at two loops for the abelian-like...

A threshold voltage (VT0) monitor is a circuit that ideally delivers the estimated VT0 value as a voltage at its output, for a given temperature range, without external biases, parametric setups, curve fitting or any subsequent calculation. It can be used in temperature sensors, voltage and current references, radiation dosimeters and other applications since the MOSFET VT0 dependence on the op...

あらまし 通信用光ファイバ(SMF 及び NZ-DSF)におけるファイバフューズの伝搬速度と損傷形状の供給 光強度依存性に基づき,その伝搬モードを次の 3 種類に分類した.供給光強度が小さくなる順に,コア領域に閉 じ込められたプラズマがファイバ軸方向に長く広がって伝搬する円筒状モード,その広がりが前者より狭い単峰 状モード,及び半径方向の広がりが前二者よりも小さい不安定モードである.ファイバフューズの損傷形状とし てよく知られた弾丸形状の周期的空孔列は円筒状モードで現れ,単峰状モードでは空孔列が不連続につながり あった線状の損傷が残される.これらの伝搬モードでは,プラズマは半径方向に最大限広がった状態で伝搬する のに対し,不安定モードではそれより狭い領域を伝搬するので,供給光がプラズマに吸収されない比率が大きく, 導波路構造の乱れの影響を受けやすい. キーワード 光ファイバ,ファイバ...

We consider the measurement of physical quantities that are thresholds. We use hybrid computing systems modelled by Turing machines having as an oracle physical equipment that measures thresholds. The Turing machines compute with the help of qualitative information provided by the oracle. The queries are governed by timing protocols and provide the equipment with numerical data with (a) infinit...

Assigning gate supply voltage and transistor threshold voltages to a range of discrete values is a combinatorial problem. The optimization computational difficulty grows exponentially with the netlist size. Whereas, if the range of values is continuous, we show that the global optimum can be found in polynomial time. We show that posynomials can model variable supply and threshold voltages, wit...

The operating frequency is kept at 1GHz, and found that it can be used up to 10GHz successfully. The reduction in power dissipation is 98.88% and operating frequency is almost 2 times t...
