The major factor deteriorating the circuit performance is the random and dynamic nature of errors encountered during its operation. Output-error probability is the direct measure of circuit's reliability. Bayesian networks error modeling is the approach used to compute error probability of digital circuits. In our paper, we have used this technique to compute and analyze the output error probability of LGSynth's C17 benchmark circuit. The simulations are based on MATLAB and show important relationships among output-error probability, execution time and number of priors involved in the analysis.","PeriodicalId":277771,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Student Conference on Research and Development (SCOReD)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114868435","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}

In this paper, there are four process parameters (factors) were used, which are Halo Implantation, Source/Drain (S/D) Implantation, Oxide Growth Temperature and Silicide Anneal temperature. The virtual fabrication of the devices was performed by using ATHENA module. While the electrical characterization of the devices was implemented by using ATLAS module. These two modules were combined with Taguchi method to aid in design and optimizer the process parameters. Threshold voltage (VTH) results were used as the evaluation variables. The results were then subjected to the Taguchi method to determine the optimal process parameters and to produce predicted values. The predicted values of the process parameters were then successfully verified with ATHENA and ATLAS's simulator. In this research, oxide growth temperature was identified as one of the process parameters that has the strongest effect on the response characteristics. While the S/D Implantation was identified as adjustment factor to get the nominal values of threshold voltage for NMOS device equal to 0.15V.","PeriodicalId":277771,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Student Conference on Research and Development (SCOReD)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125992695","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 circumference of each ring is equal to one wavelength taken at the center frequency between the two chosen operating frequencies. The control of the filter response in terms of bandwidth and separation between the operating frequencies can be done by varying the impedances of the filter elements which are the ring line impedance and the even- and odd-mode impedances of the coupled lines. The proposed concept is demonstrated through a design of a microstrip dual-band filter operating at 0.9 GHz and 1.8 GHz on epoxy substrate with ɛr = 5.4 and substrate thickness of 1.6-mm.

The improvement of the results that enable to get it if GA and AIS work separately is the main objective of this hybrid. The hybrid includes two processes; firstly, AIS is the attraction among the researchers as the algorithm. This enables it to develop local searching ability and efficiency yet the convergence rate for AIS is preferably not precise compared to the GA. Secondly, a Genetic Algorithm is typically initializing population randomly. The last generation of AIS will be the input to the next process of the hybrid which is the GA in this hybrid AIS-GA. Hybrid makes GA enters the stage of standard solutions more rapidly and more accurate compared with GA initialized population at random.

The primary goal for this study is to control the voltage and power flow direction by adjusting the firing angles of rectifier (α) and extinction angle of inverter (γ). Constant Extinction Angle (CEA) control and Constant Current (CC) control techniques are implemented for the DC link control. The power reversal can be achieved by changing the polarity of the DC voltage. The harmonic effects of the DC links are reduced by using AC and DC filters for a more stable transmission system. Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis is used to calculate the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) due to filtering effect. Short Circuit Ratio (SCR) test with variation of loads is carried out to determine the relative strength of AC system to DC power transfer. It is done for the optimum selection of suitable reactors. Besides, the overvoltage level is tested under the simulation flow of MATLAB SIMULINK which represents the virtual environment. Surge arresters are used to overcome the sudden increase of peak current so that the systems are always in the stable condition of operation.","PeriodicalId":277771,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Student Conference on Research and Development (SCOReD)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133566275","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}
