Design and analysis of non-linear circuit with tunnel diode for hybrid control systems
2018
Electric circuits with tunnel diode's represent a classical example of dynamic systems with nonlinearities, which feature piecewise negative damping and multiple equilibria and, as consequence, nontrivial trajectories in the state-space. In this paper, we describe the experimental design and analysis of an electrical circuit, including a tunnel diode, allowing for a storage behavior with bistable output voltage states - low and high. The system is modeled for simulation and an experimental setup is designed and implemented in order to run a formal verification on different tools, applying a variety of hybrid control methods. The nonlinear diode's characteristic curve is experimentally deter…
Experimental investigation on different rainfall energy harvesting structures
2018
In this paper proposes an experimental comparison between different rainfall harvesting devices and the study of the corresponding electrical rectifying circuit. More in detail, three harvesting structures are considered: the cantilever, the bridge and the floating circle. For each of the proposed structure, different waveforms have been acquired and discussed. The processed data have been compared in order to suggest the best choice for the rectifying circuit, from the simplest one to the most endorsed in the technical literature.
Low-Power, Subthreshold Reference Circuits for the Space Environment : Evaluated with -rays, X-rays, Protons and Heavy Ions
2019
The radiation tolerance of subthreshold reference circuits for space microelectronics is presented. The assessment is supported by measured results of total ionization dose and single event transient radiation-induced effects under &gamma
Wavelet analysis and HHG in nanorings: their applica-tions in logic gates and memory mass devices
2015
We study the application of one nanoring driven by a laser field in different states of polarization in logic circuits. In particular we show that assigning Boolean values to different states of the incident laser field and to the emitted signals, we can create logic gates such as OR, XOR and AND. We also show the possibility of making logic circuits such as half-adder and full-adder using one and two nanorings respectively. Using two nanorings we made the Toffoli gate. Finally we use the final angular momentum acquired by the electron to store information and hence show the possibility of using an array of nanorings as a mass memory device.
Comparison among different rainfall energy harvesting structures
2018
In this paper, an experimental comparison between different rainfall harvesting devices through the study of the electrical rectifying circuit is proposed. In more detail, three harvesting structures are considered: the cantilever, the bridge and the floating circle. Different waveforms were acquired and discussed. The processed data were compared in order to suggest the best choice for the rectifying circuit, from the simplest one to that most frequently endorsed in the technical literature.
Nanomagnetic Self-Organizing Logic Gates
2021
The end of Moore's law for CMOS technology has prompted the search for low-power computing alternatives, resulting in several promising proposals based on magnetic logic[1-8]. One approach aims at tailoring arrays of nanomagnetic islands in which the magnetostatic interactions constrain the equilibrium orientation of the magnetization to embed logical functionalities[9-12]. Despite the realization of several proofs of concepts of such nanomagnetic logic[13-15], it is still unclear what the advantages are compared to the widespread CMOS designs, due to their need for clocking[16, 17] and/or thermal annealing [18,19] for which fast convergence to the ground state is not guaranteed. In fact, i…
Automatic construction of test sets: Theoretical approach
2005
We consider the problem of automatic construction of complete test set (CTS) from program text. The completeness criterion adopted is C1, i.e., it is necessary to execute all feasible branches of program at least once on the tests of CTS. A simple programming language is introduced with the property that the values used in conditional statements are not arithmetically deformed. For this language the CTS problem is proved to be algorithmically solvable and CTS construction algorithm is obtained. Some generalizations of this language containing counters, stacks or arrays are considered where the CTS problem remains solvable. In conclusion the applications of the obtained results to CTS constr…
Modeling RISC-V Processor in IP-XACT
2018
IP-XACT is the most used standard in IP (Intellectual Property) integration. It is intended as a language neutral golden reference, from which RTL and HW dependent SW is automatically generated. Despite its wide popularity in the industry, there are practically no public and open design examples for any part of the design flow from IP-XACT to synthesis. One reason is the difficulty of creating IP-XACT models for existing RTL projects. In this paper, we address the issues by modeling the PULPino RISC-V microprocessor that is written in SystemVerilog (SV) and the project distributed over several repositories. We propose how to solve the mismatching concepts between SV project and IP-XACT, and…
