We present a low-power sine-output Direct Digital Frequency Synthesizer (DDFS) realized in 0.18 µm CMOS that achieves 60 dBc spectral purity from DC to the Nyquist frequency. No ...
There is an increasing need in modern VLSI designs for circuits implemented in high-performance logic families such as Cascode Voltage Switch Logic, Pass Transistor Logic, and dom...
For many years, CMOS process scaling has allowed a steady increase in the operating frequency and integration density of integrated circuits. Only recently, however, have we reach...
We investigate techniques to design 45nm minimum-energy subthreshold CMOS circuits under timing constraints, considering the practical case of an 8-bit multiplier. We first show ...
In this paper, we examine the digital hardware design and implementation of a novel compact block cipher, referred to as PUFFIN, that is suitable for embedded applications. An imp...
