For mm-sized implants incorporating silicon integrated circuits, ensuring life-time operation of the chip within the corrosive environment of the body still remains a critical challenge. For the chips packaging, various polymeric and thin ceramic …
This paper presents the design of an ultra-low energy neural network that utilizes time-mode signal processing (TMSP). Handwritten digit classification using a single-layer artificial neural network (ANN) with a Softmin-based activation function is …
This paper presents an analysis of energy dissipation of a decimation filter chain of four Half Band Digital (HBD) filters operated in the sub-threshold (sub-VT) region with throughput constraints. To combat speed degradation due to scaling of supply …
This paper presents a flow that is suitable to estimate energy dissipation of digital standard-cell based designs which are determined to operate in the subthreshold regime. The flow is applicable on gate-level netlists, where back-annotated toggle …
This study addresses the design of self-timed energy-minimum circuits, operating in the sub-VT domain and a generic implementation template using bundled-data circuitry and current sensing completion detection (CSCD). Furthermore, a fully decoupled …
Digital circuits operating in the sub-threshold regime are able to perform minimum energy operation at a given delay. In the sub-threshold regime the circuit delay, and hence, the leakage energy consumption depend on the supply voltage exponentially. …
