RC equivalent model of complex thermal structure is created and implemented in Spice environment. Theoretical investigations of control method and simulation results are presented. The influence of heat sink lateral dimensions and materials on chip temperature value are also evaluated. The proposed approach described in this article enables to keep the chip temperature intervals as low as possible. Hence, this increases the structure reliability and reduces mechanical stress of semiconductor structure. The thermal control technique reduces the cooling energy consumption while reducing risk of condensation. It continuously regulates the power supply of heat pump and active fan based on the information about die power consumption and heat sink temperature. Therefore, the joule heating (heat generated inside Peltier cooler) cannot dominate the cooling capability. Intel's Ivy Bridge processor has been taken into account as a real example used for the investigation.","PeriodicalId":349007,"journal":{"name":"2018 25th International Conference \"Mixed Design of Integrated Circuits and System\" (MIXDES)","volume":"138 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":"121255086","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 algorithm and a system for calibration and monitoring the excess bias voltage are also described. The resolution of controlling the excess bias voltage is equal to a charge pump voltage step.

SHA-3 based MAC is a keyed-hash message authentication function, which can be used to verify both the data integrity of the message and its source. Previous work demonstrated successful side channel attacks, in particular power attacks on hardware implementations of the SHA-3 based MAC. This work presents a new two step practical attack against SHA-3 based MAC implemented on an FPGA hardware. This new attack can successfully extract the 320-bit secret key with 200,000 traces at 90% success rate.","PeriodicalId":349007,"journal":{"name":"2018 25th International Conference \"Mixed Design of Integrated Circuits and System\" (MIXDES)","volume":"36 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":"115950522","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 paper also describes the existing solutions as regards tilt tables and LBNP chambers with particular emphasis on the original system solution, used in tests for pilots and aviation candidates under simulated hypergravity conditions: ORTO-LBNP.

In this work we present the implementation of a semi-floating gate amplifier (SFGA) to realize a compact and low power resonating sensor front-end. The prototype has been fabricated by using the commercial integrated circuit CD4007UBE and tested with a power supply of 3.3V. Measurement results show that the main trade-off of this circuit is between gain and bandwidth. The maximum values recorded for these two parameters are: 150VN and 2MHz respectively. The circuit has been tested with an input sinusoidal signal and then connected to a Butterworth Van Dike (BvD) load. This type of load is commonly used to mimic the behavior of a real resonating transducer. The average current absorbed by the amplifier during the normal operation is $6mu A$ leading to a static power consumption of $19.8mu W$. These values refer to a read-out frequency of 100Hz.","PeriodicalId":349007,"journal":{"name":"2018 25th International Conference \"Mixed Design of Integrated Circuits and System\" (MIXDES)","volume":"83 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":"127142364","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 the case of RF circuit simulation this assumption can give rise to significant modelling errors. With the recent improvements in General Public License (GPL) circuit simulators this situation is changing, particularly through the introduction of Frequency Dependent Equation-Defined Device (FEDD) models, non-linear current/voltage static and dynamic Equation-Defined Device (EDD) models and user controlled swept signal frequency simulation employing Harmonic Balance steady state analysis. The main purpose of this paper is to introduce a number of novel modelling and circuit simulation techniques that allow, and enhance, the construction of compact device models with embedded behavioural components whose non-linear properties are functions of AC input signal frequency. To demonstrate these new modelling techniques a compact model for a 10 GHz band width spiral inductor integrated on silicon is introduced, its compact model presented, and finally its simulation performance compared with published measured device data.","PeriodicalId":349007,"journal":{"name":"2018 25th International Conference \"Mixed Design of Integrated Circuits and System\" (MIXDES)","volume":"8 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":"131041756","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}

They often consist of dozens of various complex and distributed systems, which are developed by numerous independent organizations and companies. The integration of the sub-systems into a coherent system is critical for such projects. System testing at all stages of development and integration is a common method of ensuring the proper quality and adherence to the accepted standards. It is necessary that the tests cover all the requirements and functionality of the system and that they can be executed in a repeatable and error-proof way in order to maximize the gains obtained from the use of testing. This paper presents the strategies of testing and system integration illustrated with an example of ITER project.
