The operation of the conventional main switch-capacitor array is divided into two switch-capacitor arrays. Such that, one switched-capacitor array is used to define the four most-significant bits, while the other switched-capacitor array is used to refine the digital output by measuring the least four significant bits. Thus, the critical time constant, which is usually realized in a single conversion cycle, is divided into four conversion cycles (i.e. the time required to quantize the four most-significant bits). Thereby, our proposed ADC operates at 200MHz conversion cycle for a sample rate of 25 MS/sec. with power consumption of 3.7mW. The design is based on 0.25µm CMOS TSMC technology and comprises three comparator circuits, sign-comparator and two switched-capacitor arrays' comparators.","PeriodicalId":442381,"journal":{"name":"2010 XIth International Workshop on Symbolic and Numerical Methods, Modeling and Applications to Circuit Design (SM2ACD)","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115391947","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 this work, usage of PSO algorithm in analog active filter design is investigated. For this purpose, the performance of the algorithm has been tested on the design of a 2nd order state variable low pass active filter. PSO algorithm both minimizes the design error and estimates the component values that are compatible with either E24 or E96 series. Compared to conventional design procedure, PSO achieved smaller design error and provides a maximally flat response in the pass band.","PeriodicalId":442381,"journal":{"name":"2010 XIth International Workshop on Symbolic and Numerical Methods, Modeling and Applications to Circuit Design (SM2ACD)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124802506","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}

Using multiple time variables allow an efficient representation of these signals. In this formulation the components with different rates of variation are decoupled, each disparate signal being represented by its own artificial time scale. The differential algebraic equations describing the dynamic behavior of these circuits are transformed into multi-time partial differential equations (MPDEs). In order to solve MPDEs, discrete resistive models (companion models) associated to a selected numeric integration algorithm are used to model the dynamic circuit elements. In this paper companion models in 2D are built in order to implement them in a very efficient simulator for steady-state simulation of the nonlinear circuits.","PeriodicalId":442381,"journal":{"name":"2010 XIth International Workshop on Symbolic and Numerical Methods, Modeling and Applications to Circuit Design (SM2ACD)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114288335","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}

Wavelet based adaptive solution possibilities of differential equations of electromagnetic field are investigated in the followings.
