The paper deals with the problem of designing digital circuits with the currentmode gates novel digital gates operating with constant, continuous power supply current. The purpose is the provision of a high level of noise immunity of the chips which compose both analog and digital circuits. The logical properties of the current-mode gates and logic (algebra) are investigated, which are a base t...

Driven by the demand of the bioelectronics market, many biosensors need to work in parallel or in a controllable way to achieve complicated biodetections, however the limited scale, speed, cost, complex signal processing, and bulky circuit routing problems prohibit the discrete biosensor solutions (Drummond et al., 2003). Nowaday biosensor are usually integrated on the same substrate to form bi...

Model organisms usually possess a small nervous system but nevertheless execute a large array of complex behaviors, suggesting that some neurons are likely multifunctional and may encode multiple behavioral outputs. Here, we show that the C. elegans interneuron AIY regulates two distinct behavioral outputs: locomotion speed and direction-switch by recruiting two different circuits. The "speed" ...

Stochastic computing is an old and unconventional computing technique that is finding promising new applications in imageprocessing and the handling of complex error-correcting codes. Stochastic circuits offer an alternative to conventional digital circuits because of their extremely small size and inherent noise tolerance. They are also well-suited to meeting the requirements of emerging nanos...

This paper discusses the process of behavioral conversion of digital circuits used for signal processing applications into its neural network counterpart. The neural network so devised represents simulated digital circuits without any deviation in its input–output characteristics. However, the design of such networks depends entirely on different parameters and thus the design process too. It i...

In electronics, there are two major classes of circuits, analog and digital electrical circuits. While digital circuits use discrete voltage levels, analog circuits use a continuous range of voltage. The synthesis of analog circuits is known to be a complex optimization task, due to the continuous behaviour of the output and the lack of automatic design tools; actually, the design process is al...

Functional and formal verification are important methodologies for complex mixed-signal designs. But there exists a verification gap between the analog and digital blocks of a mixed-signal system. Our approach improves the verification process by creating mixed-signal assertions which are described by a combination of digital assertions and analog properties. The proposed method is a new assert...

One of the most important tasks in design and manufacturing of integrated circuits is the testing phase. Distinguishing between faulty and fault free ICs is a difficult task Therefore, simulations are being done for different circuits to identify fault free and faulty circuits. The circuits include analog circuits, digital circuits &mixed signal circuits. Analog circuits like Low pass filter, H...
