Deep submicron processes have allowed FPGAs to grow in complexity and speed. However, such technology scaling has caused FPGAs to become more susceptible to the effects of process...
In this paper, we present the design of a P4 (Power-PerformanceProcess-Parasitic) aware voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) at nanoCMOS technologies. Through simulations, we have ...
Thermal energy harvesting using micro-scale thermoelectric generators is a promising approach to alleviate the power supply challenge in ultra low power systems. In thermal energy...
