A pole-moving approach for Inverse Chebyshev filters is proposed to stabilize the UPWM modulator as well as improve its performance. The characteristics of the saw-tooth carrier for UPWM quantizer is explored to reduce the output switching rate and the power loss in class-D amplifier in the pulse-density modulation (PDM) case. In the presented single-loop sixth-order UPWM modulator with the ameliorated saw-tooth carrier, an SNDR of 120 dB within 20-kHz bandwidth can be achieved under full-scale signal input. With the proposed schemes, the highest transfer efficiency of 1 for digital class-D amplifier can also be obtained.","PeriodicalId":309822,"journal":{"name":"2019 MIXDES - 26th International Conference \"Mixed Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems\"","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122579810","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}

Asymptomatic (silent) AF may be recognized during long term monitoring of the heart rate (HR) variability. The HR variability features are widely used for detection of AF. Automated classification of heart beats into AF and non-AF presented in this paper was carried out with a help of the Lagrangian Support Vector Machine. The classifier input vector included five beat-to-beat interval measures, seven adult’s HR variability parameters, and four features taken from the analysis of the fetal heart rate as being characterized by high sensitivity to changes in subsequent intervals. The performance of the improved AF detection method was examined using the MIT-BIH Atrial Fibrillation Database, which includes 25 ten-hour ECG recordings. Results obtained during the classifier testing phase showed the sensitivity 95.91%, specificity 92.59%, positive predictive value 90.56%, negative predictive value 96.83%, and classification accuracy 94.00%.","PeriodicalId":309822,"journal":{"name":"2019 MIXDES - 26th International Conference \"Mixed Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems\"","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122010923","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}

It requires a measurement of two I(V) characteristics, including the ID(VBS) smooth curve measured in a \"sweep\" mode. The method allows to extract the threshold voltage parameters and to estimate the in-depth doping profile in the substrate. The proposed approach is demonstrated using I(V) data of the MOSFETs manufactured in ITE in a bulk CMOS process.","PeriodicalId":309822,"journal":{"name":"2019 MIXDES - 26th International Conference \"Mixed Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems\"","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123750993","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}

As a result, achieving acceptable performance and yield in High Volume Manufacturing (HVM) has become an extremely challenging task. Systematic yield and parametric variabilities have become quite significant. Moreover, due to overlay tolerance requirements and diminishing process windows, reliability risks due to soft shorts/leakages and soft opens for both FEOL and BEOL have also increased to a critical level. Introduction of EUV at the second wave of 7nm and 5nm will not help significantly due to increased detectivity and significant increases in Local Edge Roughness. New characterization techniques are necessary to identify the yield and reliability risks. After reviewing the evolution of design rules and classifying the yield and reliability risks, we will present examples from Design-For-Inspection™ (DFI™) and the novel VarScan methodology to \"detect the undetectable\" defects and characterize variability for both FEOL and BEOL 7nm and below technologies.","PeriodicalId":309822,"journal":{"name":"2019 MIXDES - 26th International Conference \"Mixed Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems\"","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116092538","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}

On a ring graph, we have discovered how to sequence the gossips within a period to achieve the best possible convergence rate and we have related this optimal value to the classic edge coloring problem in graph theory. We have developed an algorithm which solves the distributed averaging problem on tree graphs in finite time. We developed an asynchronous, distributed algorithm for solving a linear algebraic equation of the form Ax = b assuming that each processing agent knows a subset of the rows of of the partitioned matrix [A b], current estimates of the solution generated by each of its current neighbors, and nothing more. Necessary and sufficient conditions are derived forall estimates to converge to the same solution. We have shown that the most general class of algorithms for maintaining a rigid formation in two dimension space will go into an unintended circular orbit a constant angular frequency if there is a mismatch in shared data. In three dimensions, such mismatches can cause a formation to exhibit an unintended helical motion. We have developed techniques to eliminate these behaviors.","PeriodicalId":309822,"journal":{"name":"2019 MIXDES - 26th International Conference \"Mixed Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems\"","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122729584","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}
