The thermal field profile of the device was optimized using the finite-element analysis. The simulation results showed that the power consumption reduces as the depth of the heat-insulating grooves is deeper, the up-cladding is thinner,the down-cladding is thicker, and the width of the cladding ridge is narrower. The materials component and thickness of the electrodes were also optimized to guarantee the driving voltage under 5 V. The power consumption was successfully reduced to as low as 155 mW at an attenuation of 30 dB in the experiment.展开更多

The study focuses on the importance of using low power wireless techniques and modules in IoT applications by introducing a comparative between different low power wireless communication techniques such as ZigBee, Low Power Wi-Fi, 6LowPAN, LPWA and their modules to conserve power and longing the life for the IoT network sensors. The approach of the study is in term of protocol used and the particular module that achieve that protocol. The candidate protocols are classified according to the range of connectivity between sensor nodes. For short ranges connectivity the candidate protocols are ZigBee, 6LoWPAN and low power Wi-Fi. For long connectivity the candidate is LoRaWAN protocol. The results of the study demonstrate that the choice of module for each protocol plays a vital role in battery life due to the difference of power consumption for each module/protocol. So, the evaluation of protocols with each other depends on the module used.展开更多

The capacitor- coupling input of AFE can reject the DC electrode offset. The power consumption of current-feedback based IA is reduced by adopting capacitor divider in the input and feedback network. Besides, IA's input thermal noise is decreased by utilizing complementary CMOS input pairs which can offer higher transconductance. Fabricated in Global Foundry 0.35 μm CMOS technology, the chip consumes 3.96 μA from 3.3 V supply. The measured input noise is 0.85μVrms (0.5-100 Hz) and the achieved noise efficient factor is 6.48.展开更多

A two-stage cyclic structure including a single to differential converter, two multiplying DAC functional blocks (MDACs) and some comparators is adopted, which brings moderate speed and moderate resolution with low power consumption. The MDAC is implemented with the common switched capacitor method. The 1.5-bit stage greatly simplifies the design of the comparator. The operational amplifier is carefully op- timized both in schematic and layout for low power and offset. The prototype chip has been fabricated in a United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) 0.18-μm 1P6M CMOS process. The core of the ADC occupies only 0.12 mm2. With a 304.7-Hz input and 4-kHz sampling rate, the measured peak SNDR and SFDR are 47.1 dB and 57.8 dBc respectively and its DNL and INL are 0.27 LSB and 0.3 LSB, respectively. The power consumption of the ADC is only 12.5 μW in normal working mode and less than 150 nW in sleep mode.展开更多

Nanocrystalline In203 gas sensing materials were directly synthesized through a one-step controllable solvothermal process at 210 ℃ for 24 h, using InCI3.4H2O as the starting material, cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as additive and ethanol as the solvent. The obtained samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results showed that indium oxide takes on uniform cubic shape with range size of 10~30 nm and fine dispersivity. Gas sensitivity was measured in a mixing static gas. The results indicated that 3.0 V is the best working voltage of the sensor to LPG. Sensitivity is 12.6. The response-time and recovery-time are 3 s and 10 s respectively. Power consumption is only around 200 mW.展开更多

With thermometer-binary mixed coding and linear pipeline gain stepping, the load capacitance keeps constant when the gain of one stage is changed. The PGA is designed in the SMIC 0.18 μm process. Simulation results show that the power consumption is 3.2 mW with 10 bit resolution and 10 MSPS sampling rate. The PGA has been embedded in a 0.3 megapixel CMOS image sensors and fabricated successfully.展开更多

Memristors are considered to be next-generation memory devices with all of the aforementioned advantages. Recently, organometallic halide perovskites were reported to be promising active materials for memristors, although they have poor stability and mediocre performance. Herein, we report for the first time the fabrication of stable and high-performance memristors based on inorganic halide perovskite (CsPbBr3, CPB). The devices have electric field-induced bipolar resistive switching (ReS) and memory behaviors with a large on/off ratio (〉105), low working voltage (〈1 V) and energy consumption, long data retention (〉104 s), and high environmental stability, which are achieved via ZnO capping within the devices. Such a design can be adapted to various devices. Additionally, the heterojunction between the CPB and ZnO endows the devices with a light-induced ReS effect of more than 103 with a rapid response speed (〈1 ms), which enables us to tune the resistance state by changing the light and electric field simultaneously. Such multifunctional devices achieved by the combination of information storage and processing abilities have potential applications for future computing that transcends traditional architectures.展开更多
