Enabling power-efficient DVFS operations on silicon
With the perpetual power increase in modern VLSI systems, efficient and effective power management has been critical to next-generation IC designs. To overcome this grand challenge, techniques, such as dynamic voltage/ frequency scaling (DVFS), have ...
Charge pump circuits: an overview on design strategies and topologies
Due to the continuous power supply reduction, charge pumps circuits are widely used in integrated circuits (ICs) devoted to several kind of applications such as smart power, nonvolatile memories, switched capacitor circuits, operational amplifiers, ...
"No-CPU" chaotic robots: from classroom to commerce
For more than a decade, chaotic signals have been adopted to generate gaits for robots via simple and effective chaotic circuits within or without CPUs. The signals are used to guide a robot to navigate chaotically. This type of robots is useful in many ...
