An application of traditional filtering method at such assumption can lead to introducing a distortion to a filtered signal. In this paper, an overview of the robust filtering problem is provided. The new serial cascade robust filter with application of the ordered weighted aggregation (OWA) operator is proposed. The OWA operator is described applying a weighted average of ordered signal samples in a moving window. By introducing the nonlinear sorting operation and assigning to the sorted samples appropriate values of weights the improvement of filtering in impulsive environment is achieved. The structure of the proposed serial cascade OWA filter consists of two successive OWA filters. The proposed filter is tested with the help of real signal corrupted with an artificial as well as a real noise. The indicator of the filter's performance quality is the root mean square error (RMSE). For testing purpose the electrocardiographic signal is used. The obtained results show that in the field of impulsive noise suppression, the proposed serial cascaded OWA filter lead to better results compared to the reference filters.","PeriodicalId":349007,"journal":{"name":"2018 25th International Conference \"Mixed Design of Integrated Circuits and System\" (MIXDES)","volume":"297 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123399050","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 goal is an area saving of logic cells designed in this technology by using junction-less VeSFET devices (Vertical-Slit Field-Effect Transistor). Thanks to their feature: two electrically symmetric gates, there is a possibility to greatly reduce the number of elements required to build digital circuits. The use of complementary pair of twin-gate VeSFETs enables to design two-input NOR or NAND cell composed of two instead of four transistors. The combination of the key device parameters: slit width and dopants concentration as well as gate oxide thickness have been established in order to obtain both OR and AND functionality in a single transistor, providing the best distinguishability of the logic states. In particular, we have confirmed that control of the same single bulk channel of VeSFET by two gates ensures to achieve very high drain current ratio (up to le6) corresponding to “11” and “10” input states in the case of the transistor of AND functionality, which is unattainable in other known technologies.","PeriodicalId":349007,"journal":{"name":"2018 25th International Conference \"Mixed Design of Integrated Circuits and System\" (MIXDES)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131856136","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 is well known that the problem can be mitigated by using an on-chip data compressor. The suitable data compressor should offer high compression and low signal distortions. In addition it should feature very low power consumption, low memory footprint and low latency. In this paper we evaluate the feasibility of exploiting spatial correlation between neural signals being recorded with closely spaced electrode array for compression purpose. We show that optimal signal decorrelation and compression is possible by linear signal transformation with the matrix obtained with the Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Furthermore, we demonstrate that the optimal PCA based matrix has a similar structure to the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) matrix, which is widely used in image compression. Finally, the performance of data compressor exploiting the PCA and the DCT is compared. Along with compression ratio the power consumption and the area of decorrelation processors are reported.","PeriodicalId":349007,"journal":{"name":"2018 25th International Conference \"Mixed Design of Integrated Circuits and System\" (MIXDES)","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115106020","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 convergence time of the RDC based calibration is reduced by monitoring the error between two raw conversion results of a sub-2 SAR ADC and increasing the step-size parameter of the least mean square (LMS) filter, if the detected error is less than a threshold. The convergence assistance is accomplished by injecting a random perturbation signal to a stationary input. Behavioral simulation shows that the proposed technique reduces convergence time of the RDC calibration by 30% while maintains a comparable resolution and power consumption. With the random perturbation signal generated by as-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) RDC calibration can be started and an ENOB about 10 is obtainable.","PeriodicalId":349007,"journal":{"name":"2018 25th International Conference \"Mixed Design of Integrated Circuits and System\" (MIXDES)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128510508","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}
