Current regulation during common mode voltage sweep allows us to apply a lead compensation technique, and a simple scheme enables temperature and process variation robustness. This compensation involves 15 degrees improvement in the phase margin when resistive elements are introduced in the compensation path. The proposed opamp has been implemented and measurements show a 10.4 MHz unity gain bandwidth (GBW) with a minimal phase margin of around 54/spl deg/ for a capacitive load of 35 pF. In addition, a slew rate of about 14 V//spl mu/s is attained and the current consumption is maintained below 530 /spl mu/A.","PeriodicalId":141392,"journal":{"name":"ICECS 2001. 8th IEEE International Conference on Electronics, Circuits and Systems (Cat.

The 3D DCT is decomposed into 1D DCTs computed in each of the three dimensions. The architecture is a parallel structure which computes an N/spl times/N/spl times/N-point DCT by computing N N/spl times/N 2D DCTs in parallel and feeding each of the computed 2D DCT coefficients into a final ID DCT block. The architecture uses 5N/sup 2//2 multiplier-accumulators to evaluate N/spl times/N/spl times/N-point DCT's at a rate of N complete 3D DCT coefficients per clock cycles, where N is even. The architecture is regular and modular and as such it is suitable for VLSI implementation. The proposed architecture has a better area-time performance than previously reported 3D DCT architectures. Also, the proposed architecture reduces the initial delay by a factor of N.","PeriodicalId":141392,"journal":{"name":"ICECS 2001. 8th IEEE International Conference on Electronics, Circuits and Systems (Cat.

Here an adaptive filter with least mean square algorithm is used to reduce the nonlinear effect. The simulation results show that the SNDR of this architecture is very close to that of the ideal feedforward summation sigma-delta modulator with multi-bit DAC and can be used for the wide bandwidth application.","PeriodicalId":141392,"journal":{"name":"ICECS 2001. 8th IEEE International Conference on Electronics, Circuits and Systems (Cat.

With a system clock of up to 8 MHz and a power supply of 5 V, the two chips were tested and evaluated, comparing them with the software implementation of the IDEA algorithm. This new approach proves efficiently the lower power consumption of the asynchronous implementation compared to the existing synchronous one. Therefore the asynchronous chip performs efficiently in WEP (Wireless Encryption Protocols) and high speed networks.","PeriodicalId":141392,"journal":{"name":"ICECS 2001. 8th IEEE International Conference on Electronics, Circuits and Systems (Cat.
