The impulsive sources cannot be modeled by Gaussian distribution, and hence the standard adaptive algorithm based on second order statistics would give poor performance or even fail to converge. One solution is to derive adaptive algorithm by minimizing a fractional low order moment, resulting in the famous filtered-x least mean p-power (FxLMP) algorithm. The proposed algorithm discussed in this paper is based on a previously proposed generalized FxLMP algorithm. The key idea here is to introduce a variable step-size using a convex-combination approach. A large value is used at the start-up of IANC system to achieve a fast convergence speed. As the AINC system converges, the step-size automatically reduces to a small value to improve the steady-state noise reduction performance. Simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":365263,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 61st International Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems (MWSCAS)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114416518","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}

While the sensor could achieve an improved time-stamping accuracy by averaging the output across over multiple channels, the mismatch between the channels made the calibration process cumbersome and time-consuming. In this paper, we propose the use of non-parametric machine learning techniques to achieve more robust and accurate event reconstruction. This is demonstrated using training and testing data that were obtained from fabricated prototypes on a $0.5-mu mathrm {m}$ CMOS process; the model trained using Gaussian process regression can achieve an average recovery accuracy of 3.3% on testing data, which is comparable to the performance of using an averaging technique on calibrated injection results. The experimental results also validate that scalable performance can be achieved by employing more injection channels.","PeriodicalId":365263,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 61st International Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems (MWSCAS)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114463447","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}

We further investigate the existence of the optimum biasing point in the weak inversion region, which leads to the maximum lock range given the same injection power.

HAN connects the smart home appliances (SHA) inside the home to the smart meter (SM), which is connected to the power utility company. In the last decade, hardware Trojans (HT), have been extensively studied in both academia and industry. Consequently, the vulnerability of integrated circuits (ICs) against HTs leads to the potential security threat to any system that contains ICs, and HAN is no exception. However, to the best of authors knowledge, the potential effect of HTs on HAN has not been studied in the literature so far. In this paper, we are investigating HT in HAN network. In the process, we developed a testbed which can be scalable up to 127 nodes using I2C interface to control and implement any kind of required network behavior. We introduced three possible scenarios of HTs in this HAN network testbed. These scenarios illustrate the manifestation of HTs in the HAN that leads to network performance degradation.","PeriodicalId":365263,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 61st International Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems (MWSCAS)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121974943","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}

Memcapacitor is an emerging device that exhibits hysteresis behavior, which can be manipulated by external parameters, such as, the applied electric field or voltage. One of the unique properties of the memcapacitor is that by using the percolation approach, we can achieve Metal-Insulator-Transition (MIT) phenomenon, which can be utilized to obtain a staggered hysteresis loop. For multivalued logic devices staggered hysteresis behavior is the critical requirement. In this paper, we propose a new conceptual design of a ternary logic device by vertically stacking dielectric material interleaved with layers of graphene nanoribbon (GNR) between the two external metal plates. The proposed device structure displays the memcapacitive behavior with the fast switching metal-to-insulator transition in picosecond scale. The device model is later extended into a vertical-cascaded version, which performs as a ternary device.","PeriodicalId":365263,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 61st International Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems (MWSCAS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129945523","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}

This paper presents an implementation of a Random Number Generator based on ring oscillators on FPGA and the cryptanalysis of it via correlation analysis. The main aim of this paper is to analyze the correlation between the output bit streams produced by the RNG and the attack circuit coupled to the main circuit. In the main RNG circuit, all ring oscillators are placed far from each other to obtain independent random bit streams at the output. Experimental results show that the effective correlation between RNG and attack circuit can be obtained due to coupling.","PeriodicalId":365263,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 61st International Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems (MWSCAS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129946145","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 optimal temperature compensated point can then be found by adjusting the number of PTAT and CTAT delay cells and the load capacitance of each delay cell. Both ideal and non-ideal models are developed to explain this temperature compensation mechanism. Finally, combining the opposite temperature characteristics of normal RO and current-starved RO, a 13.4 MHz on-chip clock circuit is implemented in 0.13um CMOS process, with 14.6 ppm/°C over the temperature range from -40°C to 80°C.
