The figure of merit (FOM) is used to find the optimal /spl Sigma//spl Delta/ modulator implementation with respect to a minimal power consumption on the one hand and to fulfil a rapid prototyping approach on the other hand. This method compares the power efficiency of different modulator structures and modulator orders with respect to the given design specifications. The efficiency of this strategy is shown by measurement results of a 1.5V 3/sup rd/ order CT modulator.","PeriodicalId":203750,"journal":{"name":"2002 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems.

The resulting assemblies are designed to withstand environments commonly necessary for working with the biological materials such as biological temperatures, pressures, and moisture or autoclave.

It based on the reduction of time-average dissipation in transistor power instead of state-of-the-art reduction of instantaneous dissipated power.

In this case, along with an always-positive collector-emitter voltage, the instant dissipated power also is negative. A high-efficiency BJT power amplifier was simulated in order to demonstrate the new class features.","PeriodicalId":203750,"journal":{"name":"2002 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems.

A 32-bit adder has been designed and simulated using HSPICE Level-49 parameters of a 0.6 /spl mu/m CMOS process. Simulated measurements on this adder show that the worst-case delay is 1.56 ns. This demonstrates 2.1 times speed improvement in comparison to a domino dynamic logic design implemented with the same technology.","PeriodicalId":203750,"journal":{"name":"2002 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems.

A dual-key system is used to reduce the chance for the removal of watermark. The watermark can be detected without the original image. If the original image is available in the detection of watermark, the proposed technique is almost equivalent to the well known spread spectrum technique.","PeriodicalId":203750,"journal":{"name":"2002 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems.
