The paper deals with current conveyor based design criteria for low power Miller operational transconductance amplifier. Its transconductance has been controlled by using second generation current conveyor (CCII), replacing input bias current (Ibias). Current-mode based electronics devices becoming more popular than with voltage mode. The performance is obtained through PSPICE simulations which...

A new output structure for class E power amplifier (PA) is proposed in this paper. A series LC resonator circuit, tuned near the second harmonic of the operating frequency is added to the output circuit. This resonator causes low impedance at the second harmonic. The output circuit is designed to shape the switch voltage of the class E amplifier and lower the voltage stress of the transistor. T...

In this article, a new approach for the efficient design of quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) circuits is introduced. The main advantages of the proposed idea are the reduced number of QCA cells as well as increased speed, reduced power dissipation and improved cell area. In many cases, one needs to double the effect of a particular inter median signal. State-of-the-art designs utilize a kind...

Front-end-of-line reliability issues such as Bias Temperature Instability (BTI), Hot Carrier Injection (HCI), and Time Dependent Dielectric Breakdown (TDDB) have become more prevalent as electrical fields continue to increase in scaled devices. The rapid introduction of process improvements, such as high-k/metal gate stacks and strained silicon, has lead to new reliability issues including BTI ...

this paper presents a comprehensive case study on electro-mechanical analysis of mems[1] variable capacitors. using the fundamental mechanical and electrical equations, static and dynamic behaviors of the device are studied. the analysis is done for three different modes, namely: dc (static mode), small signal ac and large signal regime. a complete set of equations defining dynamic behavior of ...
