Computer-aided design of a mass production circuit
(1999)
Tolerance of the circuit components can sometimes bring about costly consequences in mass production. To tackle this problem, recent efforts have been dedicated to develop tolerant circuit design in order to boost manufacturing ...
Optimum quantizer design for pre-echo control in a low bit rate audio coding system
(1999)
In a low bit-rate audio transform coding system, the quantization noise is spread out over the entire analysis block in the time domain after the inverse transformation in the decoder. This increases the likelihood of ...
Using power diode models for circuit simulations : a comprehensive review
(1999)
In recent years, a number of new models for the
power diode have been proposed. The objectives of this paper are
to provide the power electronics community with a comprehensive
review ...
Recognition of piano notes
(1999)
In this paper, an algorithm for the recognition of musical sound from piano is proposed. The music signal is first
digitally sampled and transformed from the time domain to the frequency domain using Constant Q ...
Musical sound recognition
(1999)
In this paper, two different methods to implement one particular aspect of music transcription – musical note recognition – are presented. Both methods make use of
existing algorithms in the form of the Constant-Q ...
Hybrid method of tolerance design
(1999)
A new method of tolerance design, which we call the Hybrid method that accelerates the attainment of optimal design center, is proposed. The method combines geometry search with statistical process. At
the start of the ...
A temperature-dependent DC model for quarter-micron LDD pMOSFET’s operating in a Bi-MOS structure
(1999)
A temperature-dependent analytical model for deep submicrometer LDD p-channel devices operating in a Bi-MOS structure is reported for the first time. This model is based on experimental data obtained from 0.25-µm process ...
A low-power 16×16-b parallel multiplier utilizing pass-transistor logic
(1999)
This paper describes a low-power 16x16-b parallel very large scale integration multiplier, designed and fabricated using a 0.8- m double-metal double-poly BiCMOS process. In order to achieve low-power operation, the ...
Effect of BOE etching time on wire bonding quality
(1999)
The dependence of wire bond-pull strength on the morphology of the underlying polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) beneath the bondpad metal is studied using atomic force microscopy(AFM). Statistical analysis shows that the ...
An efficient method for parametric yield gradient estimation
(1999)
A novel method to improve the yield gradient estimation in parametric yield optimization is proposed. By introducing some deterministic information into the conventional Monte Carlo method and fully utilizing the samples, ...
