The width of an interconnect line affects the total power consumed by a circuit. A trade off exists between the dynamic power and the short-circuit power dissipated in inductive interconnect. The optimum line width that minimizes the total transient power dissipation is determined in this paper. A closed form solution for the optimum width with an error less than 5% is presented. For a specific...

In this paper, a new single-port five-transistor (5T) Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) cell with integrated read/write assist is proposed. Amongst the assist circuitry, a voltage control circuit is coupled to the sources corresponding to driver transistors of each row memory cells. This configuration is aimed to control the source voltages of driver transistors under different operating modes...

This paper proposes a new resonant gate driver circuit for a soft switching synchronous buck converter in a fixed load condition. The switching energy can be fully recovered during current commutation phase in the gate driver while the diode conduction losses in the low and high side switches can be substantially reduced by employing additional L and C resonant in the circuit. Using PSpice simu...

The NCL30001 is a highly integrated controller for implementing power factor correction (PFC) and isolated step down ac−dc power conversion in a single stage, resulting in a lower cost and reduced part count solution. This controller is ideal for LED Driver power supplies with power requirements between 40 W and 150 W. The single stage is based on the flyback converter and it is designed to ope...

In this paper a dual voltage CMOS low power output pad is presented. The pads are the interface circuits between the core and the package pins of any integrated circuit. The power consumption of these pads it is a very important parameter for the global power consumption of the integrated circuit that includes them. The proposed pad includes a pre-driver and a final output stage including ESD(e...

A two-terminal network that is connected in series or in parallel with a circuit to cause its terminal impedance to be transformed into a desired impedance is commonly called a Zobel [1] network. In loudspeaker design a Zobel network consisting of a series resistor and capacitor connected in parallel with the voice coil of a driver has been described to compensate for the impedance rise at high...
