With the scaling of CMOS, occurs serious challenges such as higher leakage currents and higher static power consumption have been raised in high-performance circuits. Therefore, to address these issues, we explored carbon nanotube field effect transistors (CNTFETs) with multi-valued logic (MVL). In this paper, we designed an energy-efficient Pulse triggered Ternary Flip Flops (P-TFF) such as Data Close to Output (P-DCO-TFF), Signal Feed Through (P-SFT-TFF), and Delay (P-D-TFF) with pseudo NCFET (N-channel CNTFET) logic. These flip-flops use ternary logic, which is 0, V_dd/2, and V_dd as logic 0, 1, and 2, respectively. The complete design is done by the stanford 32 nm CNTFETs. The simulations are performed and waveforms are obtained in Cadence Virtuoso Software. We found that the suggested pulse-triggered TFFs performed better than the conventional ternary FF (C-TFF) structure in terms of energy, delay, and power. This simulation result shows 17.8%, 14%, and 47.7% energy reduction in P-SFT-TFF, P-DCO-TFF, and P-D-TFF, respectively, compared with C-TFF structure. Also performed the Monte Carlo Simulations to these proposed TFF designs. The P-D-TFF exhibits very efficient results in terms of delay, energy, and power consumption. This article also simulated the Ternary Universal Shift Register (TUSR) with Proposed P-D-TFF.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7827,"journal":{"name":"Analog Integrated Circuits and Signal Processing","volume":"119 1","pages":"151 - 163"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139761747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to reduce the size of the transistors, it is obvious that the speed of the circuits must increase and the supply voltage must decrease. Although this decreases the power consumption of the circuits, it typically reduces the characteristics of analog circuits, such as dynamic range and output resistance. The gift In this study, a novel wide bandwidth current mirror with low power consumption, low voltage, and super high voltage swing are given. The proposed design calls for a current mirror bandwidth of 168 MHz. Additionally, the output impedance for the proposed circuit, which is exceptionally high and is close to 175 MΩ according to the simulation results, guarantees the high accuracy of the suggested current mirror current. The suggested circuit design's low power consumption of 42.4 μW, lowest output voltage of 100 mV, and maximum swing limit of 850 mV all demonstrate that they are ideally suited for low power/operational voltage applications and ultra-low voltage circuit design. And resists less-than-ideal PVT circumstances. The capability of this technique to achieve high-speed current mirror and high-current driving capabilities with few accuracy or power performance restrictions is demonstrated in this work. It is implemented in 0.18 m AMS CMOS technology with a 1 V supply voltage and offers a high output current with a relative current copy error of 2% and a maximum settling time of 2–4 ns, making it well suited for the implementation of quick and balanced multipole current sources.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7827,"journal":{"name":"Analog Integrated Circuits and Signal Processing","volume":"119 1","pages":"29 - 41"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139645482","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CB measurements help in the detection of concentric levels in cardiac troponin I. The increased troponin level in the blood can lead to the major cause of cardiac injury. Hence it is necessary to monitor the troponin level of blood. Accurate troponin I detection sensors detect the troponin level in blood. The biosensor signal is converted into an electrical signal of very low voltages. However, these electrical signals are too low. Hence, a bio-medical amplifier is introduced with analog to digital converters and compressors to amplify, capture, transfer and digitize the biosensor signal with less power and area consumption. A bio-amplifier is presented with programmable bandwidth and gain, but the task is challenging. Hence, a fully balanced bio-medical gain amplifier using a two-level CNTFET based operational amplifier (op-amp) (BGA-2C-opamp) is proposed in this work. This particular work uses two stages of CNTFET-based op-amp and presents an input capacitor for blocking the DC offset voltages. This coupling input capacitor operates the bio-medical amplifier gain using an extra load capacitor at the output. The coupling feedback resistor and capacitor are used in this amplification stage to provide a small pole frequency. The proportion of input and the feedback capacitors determines the gain of the amplification stage. To develop a two stage CNTFET-based op-amps, the trans-conductance to drain current ratio measurement is used in this case. Moreover, the bias currents of the quasi-resistors used in the feedback circuit are adjusted to achieve the cut-off programmability.

Deep learning has recently emerged as a powerful approach for BCI system development using EEG activity. However, the EEG activity analysis and classification should be robust, automated and accurate. Currently, available BCI systems perform well for binary task identification whereas, multi-class classification of EEG activity for BCI applications is still a challenging task. In this work, a hybrid residual attention ensemble voting classifier model is developed for EEG-based Motor Imagery-Brain Computer Interface (MI-BCI) task classification. The Time–Frequency Representation (TFR) of the multi-class EEG activity is generated using Transient Extracting Transform. The TFR spectrogram images are input to the designed residual attention ensemble voting classifier model for training and classification purposes. The model is evaluated using different fusion strategies viz. feature-level and score-level fusion of layers. The proposed model is evaluated on two MI-BCI datasets, BCI competition IV 2a and BCI competition III 3a, yielding the highest classification accuracies of 88.14% and 93.13%, respectively. The results obtained on a large multi-class MI-BCI dataset confirm that the proposed hybrid residual attention ensemble voting classifier model significantly outperforms the conventional algorithm and achieves significantly high classification accuracy for the feature-level fusion of layers.
