In this paper, the active buckling control of smart functionally graded (FG) plates using piezoelectric sensor/actuator patches is studied. A simply supported FG rectangular plate which is bonded with piezoelectric rectangular patches on the top and/or the bottom surface(s) as actuators/sensors is considered. When a constant electric charge is imposed, the governing differential equations of mo...

We propose capacitively driven low-swing global interconnect circuit using a receiver that utilizes magnetoelectric (ME) effect induced magnetization switching to reduce the energy consumption. Capacitively driven wire has recently been shown to be effective in improving the performance of global interconnects. Such techniques can reduce the signal swing in the interconnect by using a capacitiv...

In this paper, a new voltage controlled first order all-pass filter is presented. The proposed circuit employs a single differential voltage dual-X second generation current conveyor (DV-DXCCII) and a grounded capacitor only. The proposed all-pass filter provides both inverting and non inverting voltage-mode outputs from the same configuration simultaneously without any matching condition. Non-...

This paper presents a new voltage comparator design called Quantum Voltage (QV) comparator for the next generation deep sub-micron low voltage CMOS flash A/D converter (ADC). Unlike the traditional differential voltage comparators designed to minimize input-offset voltage error due to the mismatches in a differential transistor pair, the QV comparators are designed to optimize the inputoffset v...

In this paper is presented a novel constant transconductance CMOS differential amplifier. The circuit uses a modified CMOS inverter to process polarisation currents of the complementary differential amplifier in order to maintain constant transconductance over the entire common-mode input voltage range. Simulation shows error less than ±6.12 % for a single supply voltage of 1.5 V. Key-Words: lo...
