Second, we propose an error resilient approach for P-frame. With our proposed approach, only a small amount of side information is extracted and packed at the end of every frame.

The complete class D amplifier features a very low power dissipation (58.8/spl mu/W), low total harmonic distortion (-85.6dB FS) and high signal-to-noise ratio (99dB FS). The power saving is /spl sim/21% and the THD is improved by 9.8dB FS compared to a design embodying only a first order sampling process.

Our new method is based on the determinant decision diagram (DDD) representation of small-signal characteristics of linear analog circuits. The basic idea is to dynamically reorder DDD vertices such that all the DDD vertices corresponding to symbolic parameters are separated from DDD vertices for numerical parameters. In this way, DDD sizes of symbolic portion of DDD can be significantly reduced by suppressing numerical DDD nodes. Our new approach is different from the existing MTDDD based semi-symbolic analysis method where reordering is done before DDD is constructed and DDD-based graph operations are still valid in the new method. The proposed dynamic ordering algorithm, which is based on swap of adjacent variables, also improves the existing DDD-based vertex sifting algorithm as no special sign rule is required after DDD vertices are swapped. Experimental results have demonstrated that the proposed dynamic semi-symbolic method leads to up to 30% symbolic DDD node reduction compared MTDDD method on real analog circuits and can be performed very efficiently.","PeriodicalId":6445,"journal":{"name":"2004 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (IEEE Cat.

The collector-base and the collector-emitter breakdown voltages are 14.8V and 9V, respectively. The output impedance and noise characteristics are comparatively good. The measured current gains, on the order of 20, are less than what would be preferred, but not excessively so, and the unity-gain frequencies on the order of 4GHz, are much less than would be the case for a vertical npn in a typical BiCMOS process, but still are adequate for many applications.","PeriodicalId":6445,"journal":{"name":"2004 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (IEEE Cat.
