To achieve better linearity, the source degeneration circuit for differential pair is used in the Balanced OTA [1]. The digitally controlled switch is nothing but MOSFETs with different width and lengths. This helps to have different bias currents just by turning on particular MOSFET in the switch module. Using the designed structure a variable resistor is designed [2]. Also as an application example, an electronically tunable phase shifter is implemented [3]. In this phase shifter using the designed OTA, by applying different bias currents generated through the digital switch we can obtain different phase shifts. The circuit performance of linear transconductance amplifier is measured in terms of the linearity, slew rate, CMRR, settling time, over shoot and undershoot. Here all the circuits are implemented Tanner EDA and simulated in 130nm using TSMC MOSIS Level-49 model in TSPICE simulator.","PeriodicalId":443239,"journal":{"name":"2011 Fourth International Conference on Emerging Trends in Engineering & Technology","volume":"149 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133752840","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}

Hessami","doi":"10.1109/ICETET.2011.51","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ICETET.2011.51","url":null,"abstract":"The paper is in two parts and in Part (1) attempts to formalise the loose concept of \"System of Systems\" (SoS) within the context of Systems Theory whilst in Part (2) explores and develops a conceptual framework for emergence that is suitable for further development. We view the notion of SoS as an evolution of the standard notion of systems and provide an abstract and generic definition that is detached from the particular domain. To achieve this we deal first with the abstraction of the fundamental components of the system, describe the different aspects of the structure of a composite system and then embark on the task to explain the difference of the new notion, to the standard notion of Composite Systems. We present a new abstract definition of the notion of System of Systems as an evolution of the notion of Composite Systems, empowered by the concept of autonomy and participation in tasks referred to as plays which are usually linked to games. The notion of the play is introduced as an extension of the notion of the system and involves the notion of autonomous agents in place of objects and the notion of scenario in place of interconnection topology. This new definition characterises SoS as a development of the Composite System notion where now the subsystems act as autonomous intelligent agents in a multi-agent system play based on a scenario that possibly involves a game. The notion of emergence is considered within both the framework of Composite and SoS and it is linked to the problem of defining functions on a given system and evaluating their values. The emergence is thus presented as the defining signature of a system including System of Systems.","PeriodicalId":443239,"journal":{"name":"2011 Fourth International Conference on Emerging Trends in Engineering & Technology","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116254906","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 system, called a gbutton system, h is attached over the chest for monitoring electrocardiogram (ECG), heart rate (HR), 3 axis acceleration, and temperature, as well as system battery voltage. The data is then sent to the host computer via a wireless transmitter. The button system is composed of three round substrates connected together. The substrate is 24 mm in diameter and 5-10 mm thick, making the system applicable for use in daily life. The several various types of sensors, micro controller, programmable gain amplifier (PGA) and Bluetooth wireless transmitter are embedded in system. The Micro Processing Unit (MPU) samples ECG and acceleration at 125 Hz to calculate HR for transmission. The battery voltage and temperature are sampled at 0.2 Hz due to the slow variability. The current consumption during wireless telecommunications is about 40 mA, so it is possible to use it continuously for about two hours with Li-ion button battery (75 mAh). In this study, we measured data while sleeping (for about 6 hours) with a large capacity battery (2000 mAh) instead of Li-ion battery. Heart rate variability (HRV) was then used as a quantitative marker of automatic nervous system activity, and the temporal variation of HRV was estimated.","PeriodicalId":443239,"journal":{"name":"2011 Fourth International Conference on Emerging Trends in Engineering & Technology","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122416516","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 in-depth analysis of the problem and proposes a novel solution. The problem is analyzed considering the cycle times of the GALS module, and the complexity of the asynchronous interface controllers using Petri Net graph (PN) approach. When high data bandwidth is not required, matched-delay asynchronous ports may be employed. A novel architecture for synchronizing inter-modular communications in GALS, based on delayed latching (DL), is described. DL synchronization does not require pausable clocking, is insensitive to clock tree delays, and supports high data rates. It replaces complex global timing constraints with simpler localized ones. Decoupled input port and Decoupled output port for Delayed Latching are presented. The risk of metastability in the synchronizer is analyzed in a technology-independent manner. Here we present the Petri net models of the Globally Asynchronous and Locally Synchronous (GALS) architectures for speed independent (SI). The models are feed into Petrify to produce logic equations for gate level implementation of asynchronous circuit. The circuit is simulated on VCS and synthesized on Design compiler of Synopsys EDA tool.","PeriodicalId":443239,"journal":{"name":"2011 Fourth International Conference on Emerging Trends in Engineering & Technology","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127919740","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}

Run-time configuration explores a novel research area for reconfigurable hardware to further speedup the processing speed by eliminating the configuration overhead with the overlapping of execution time.
