These are effective in the area and bit resolution. The overview includes bit resolution, area, power dissipation, bandwidth and offset noise consideration for high-speed flash ADC design. A MUX-based two-step half flash architecture is considered for applications requiring 1 GHz 16-bit resolution low area and low power consumption. An advanced comparator, MUX, a high-speed digital-to-analog converter(DAC), and MUX-based encoder are also reviewed.

It is wondered that the hydrophilic nature of jute fiber negatively affects the interfacial interaction with hydrophobic polymeric materials in the composite which then affects the resultant mechanical, microstructural and physico-chemical absorption properties. In order to overcome this fact, researchers have been carried out some techniques for fiber surface chemical treatments. On the other hand, due to the low processing costs and design flexibility, thermoplastics deal many benefits over thermoset polymers, and polyethylene shows excellent processing behaviors such as: low density, low cost, considerable flex life, outstanding surface hardness, scratch resistance and good electrical insulator. Beside the traditional thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers, montmorillonite nanoclay are also receiving attention to manufacture fiber polymer nanocomposites for industrial and household applications as well. The review is considered to highlight the progress of jute fiber reinforced polymer nanocomposites.
