Fast settling time and low power consumption of the DAC are achieved by utilizing the proposed architecture. The simulation results show that the maximum conversion rate is 70 MHz, the power dissipation is 24.5 mW with a single power supply of 3.3 V, and the chip size is 0.8 mm/spl times/1.0 mm for a CMOS 1.5 /spl mu/m n-well technology.","PeriodicalId":20507,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of APCCAS'96 - Asia Pacific Conference on Circuits and Systems","volume":"15 1","pages":"405-408"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89992530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The idea is extended to finding such a rectilinear Steiner tree.

Stereo matching is the essential process for recovering the three-dimensional structure of objects. The geometrical difference of left and right images, called disparity, is constructed as two-dimensional chromosomes with fitness values inversely proportional to their costs. The cost function is composed of the intensity-difference between two images and smoothness of disparity. The crossover and mutation operators in the two-dimensional chromosomes are described. The operations are affected by the disparities of neighbor pixels. The knowledge-augmented operators are shown to result in a rapid convergence and stable result. The genetic algorithm for stereo matching is tested on synthetic and natural images. Experimental results for various images show that the proposed algorithm has good performance even if the image has unfavorable conditions.","PeriodicalId":20507,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of APCCAS'96 - Asia Pacific Conference on Circuits and Systems","volume":"18 1","pages":"357-360"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85113490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To improve the dynamic range of the link length, a 4PPM demodulator is synthesized to implement a demodulation algorithm which is constructed so as to accommodate the output tolerance of the infrared receiver.
