Further power efficiency can be achieved by a /spl Sigma//spl Delta/ modulator with a passive loop filter. Because this involves direct conversion, the signal is always mixed down to dc irrespective of the pole locations of loop filter and therefore the null position of the quantization noise power spectrum density is insensitive to the parasitics. A passive switched-capacitor modulator with a built-in passive mixer digitizes a 10 MHz IF signal. Due to the lack of gain in the passive loop filter, a switch-only gain-boost network provides gain without using active circuitry.","PeriodicalId":162539,"journal":{"name":"1996 IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference.

One of the major challenges for poly-Si TFT drivers in such multi-scan LCDs is displaying as black in the peripheral region around the picture during a blanking period. Using conventional shift register driver circuits, the scanning speed in the up-and-down no-picture region is too high for pixel TFTs to write signals for black. Although decoder driver circuits for multi-scan operation have been introduced into an HDTV poly-Si TFT-LCD, they require many address signals and logic gates. These increase circuit area and thereby decrease the manufacturing yields. Poly-Si TFT drivers use a combination of bi-directional shift registers and decoder circuits to solve the above problems for a 2.7 in, 1.3 Mpixel TFT LCD light valve.","PeriodicalId":162539,"journal":{"name":"1996 IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference.

In digital signal processing, real-world data (analog, massive in quantities, low-precision and ambiguous) are A/D converted upon acquisition, including inherent noise and distortion, and then are bit-by-bit computed based on rigorous Boolean algebra. In moving-image processing for instance, this requires extraordinary computational powers of DSPs and MPUs, making real-time response of electronic systems unrealistic. Introduction of analog processing would lessen the difficulty, but cost must be traded off for accuracy. Analog/digital merged computation using /spl upsi/MOS circuits features the flexibility of analog processing but preserving the rigorousness of digital. Highly-parallel analog processing is performed for a large volume of analog input data, that is immediately followed by the binary decision of /spl upsi/MOS gates, resulting in the output of digital codes. Real-world data are directly compressed to digital codes without A/D conversion. The power of this scheme is demonstrated in applications to motion vector search in a few hundred nanoseconds and real-time center-of-mass tracing of a moving object and to building real-time event recognition hardware.","PeriodicalId":162539,"journal":{"name":"1996 IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference.
