However, a key barrier to the expansion of system-level tools for analog circuits is the lack of confidence in system-level models implemented in SystemC AMS. To overcome this, functional equivalence of system-level models to respective SPICE-level models needs to be demonstrated. In this paper, we develop a novel, graph-based methodology to formally check equivalence between system-level and SPICE-level representations of linear analog filter circuits, such as Low-Pass Filters (LPF). To do this, we propose an intermediate representation in the form of a Signal-flow Graph (SFG), which acts as a mapping function from the SPICE-level to the system-level. We create the intermediate representation with linear graph modeling from the SPICE-level model and use graph manipulation to transform the intermediate representation to the equivalent system-level model. We demonstrate the applicability of the proposed methodology by successfully applying it to two example filters.","PeriodicalId":334461,"journal":{"name":"2022 25th International Symposium on Design and Diagnostics of Electronic Circuits and Systems (DDECS)","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114700140","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 proposed topology is fault-tolerant through intrinsic redundancy in its layout, with 8 independent channels operating in parallel. This application-specific implementation operates as a buck regulator (step-down) with an input voltage range of 12 V – 48 V DC and a continuous output power of 250 W without requiring passive or active cooling other than ambient air flow. The electrical efficiency of the prototype varies between 70% and 90% at the rated maximum input voltage of 48 V. The architecture of the design is presented, and an analysis of possible failure modes is conducted along with circuit level remediation efforts to make the design intrinsically fail-safe. The fault tolerance and redundancy are illustrated by artificially inducing faults on prototype boards during performance measurements. Finally, the prototype is assembled into a hexapod walker robot and deployed in a radioactive environment as a field test of its radiation and fault tolerant properties.","PeriodicalId":334461,"journal":{"name":"2022 25th International Symposium on Design and Diagnostics of Electronic Circuits and Systems (DDECS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126979004","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}

Inside such networks the path of a droplet and, thus, the module which processes it, can be controlled by microfluidic switches. Thus far, these switches are realized by injecting additional control droplets into the network which allow to trigger the switching mechanism by solely exploiting passive hydrodynamic effects. While this eliminates the need of expensive components such as valves, this droplet-controlled switching concept is very sensitive and already slight deviations, e.g., in the control droplet injection could lead to incorrectly triggered switches. In this work, we address this issue by proposing a new concept of pressure-controlled networks which omit the control droplets (and their drawbacks) and, instead, use a single pump in order to drive the switches. Using design automation expertise together with established models, we derive a corresponding blueprint which realizes this idea for a specific network architecture. Simulations based on established methods and design tools confirmed the suitability of the proposed pressure-controlled networks.","PeriodicalId":334461,"journal":{"name":"2022 25th International Symposium on Design and Diagnostics of Electronic Circuits and Systems (DDECS)","volume":"521 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124487180","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}

However, selecting the most appropriate accelerator for IoT devices is very challenging as they commonly have tight constraints e.g., low power consumption, latency, and cost of the final product. Hence, the design of such application-specific IoT devices becomes a time-consuming and effort-hungry process, that poses the need for accurate and effective automated assisting methods.In this paper, we present a novel approach to estimate the power consumption of CUDA-based Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) on GPGPUs in the early design phases. The proposed approach takes advantage of a hybrid technique where static analysis is used for features extraction and the K-Nearest Neighbor (K-NN) regression analysis is utilized for power estimation model generation. Using K-NN analysis, the power estimation model can even be created with small training datasets. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach is able to predict CNNs power consumption up to a Absolute Percentage Error of 0.0003% in comparison to the real hardware.","PeriodicalId":334461,"journal":{"name":"2022 25th International Symposium on Design and Diagnostics of Electronic Circuits and Systems (DDECS)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128567482","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 prototype software is ROS-based and uses laser-based 2D SLAM techniques to navigate an unknown environment, while recording continuous measurements of gamma and neutron radiation at a 1Hz sampling rate. Experiments demonstrated that the robot could successfully map controlled environments, producing 2D radiation maps clearly identifying ‘hotspots’ that coincided with the location of radiation sources hidden in the test range. The tests confirmed that the hexapod platform exhibits superior performance regarding contamination pick-up when compared to other motion systems such as tracked rovers, wheeled rovers, etc. This was attributed to its minimal contact surface with the ground, which is considered particularly important in facilities where loose radioactive particulates are present. By using feet caps and a protective suit, the system can be decontaminated and fully recovered for subsequent redeployments.","PeriodicalId":334461,"journal":{"name":"2022 25th International Symposium on Design and Diagnostics of Electronic Circuits and Systems (DDECS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121258488","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}
