Low-power, high-performance S-NDR oscillators for stereo (3D) vision using directly-coupled oscillator networks

Abstract

We have successfully demonstrated, a best in class low-power, high-performance S-NDR oscillator (benchmarked in Table I) through novel & unique material-engineering of leakage, endurance and by improving SNR through parallel-locking. These oscillators were then connected in form of a dense array that utilized unique array properties to simulate a full stereo-vision system. The system was found to consume 100× lower energy while being 16× better in performance (Table II), when compared to a conventional implementation purely based on computation.
