Programming Of Floating-Gate Transistors For Nonvolatile Analog Memory Array, Haifa Abulaiha
Programming Of Floating-Gate Transistors For Nonvolatile Analog Memory Array, Haifa Abulaiha
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
Since they were introduced, floating-gate (FG) transistors have been used as non-volatile digital memory. Recent research has shown that floating-gate transistors can be successfully used as analog memory, specifically as programmable voltage and current sources. However, their proliferation has been limited due to the complex programming procedure and the complex testing equipment. Analog applications such as field-programmable analog arrays (FPAAs) require hundreds to thousands of floating-gate transistors on a single chip which makes the programming process even more complicated and very challenging. Therefore, a simplified, compact, and low-power scheme to program FGs are necessary. This work presents an improved version …

Synthesis Of Graphene Using Plasma Etching And Atmospheric Pressure Annealing: Process And Sensor Development, Andrew Robert Graves
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
Having been theorized in 1947, it was not until 2004 that graphene was first isolated. In the years since its isolation, graphene has been the subject of intense, world-wide study due to its incredibly diverse array of useful properties. Even though many billions of dollars have been spent on its development, graphene has yet to break out of the laboratory and penetrate mainstream industrial applications markets. This is because graphene faces a ‘grand challenge.’ Simply put, there is currently no method of manufacturing high-quality graphene on the industrial scale. This grand challenge looms particularly large for electronic applications where the …
Interoperability Of Ip-Based Cameras, Faythe C. Maston
Interoperability Of Ip-Based Cameras, Faythe C. Maston
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
In this day and age of advancing technology and increasing crime, more and more citizens are investing in technology to increase their personal security. One such technology is the use of home-based IP security systems. These systems are comprised of one or more IP-based security cameras with owners preferring to have a way to view all camera feeds at once. Since not all security cameras are made to interact with each other, it is necessary to find a program that allows a user to view all security cameras at once, regardless of what brand of cameras they use. After researching, …
Rail-To-Rail Operational In Low-Power Reconfigurable Analog Circuitry, Jared Dale Baker
Rail-To-Rail Operational In Low-Power Reconfigurable Analog Circuitry, Jared Dale Baker
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
Analog signal processing (ASP) can be used to decrease energy consumption by several orders of magnitude over completely digital applications. Low-power field programmable analog arrays (FPAA) have been previously used by analog designers to decrease energy consumption. Combining ASP with an FPAA, energy consumption of these systems can be further reduced. For ASP to be most functional, it must achieve rail-to-rail operation to maintain a high dynamic range. This work strives to further reduce power consumption in reconfigurable analog circuitry by presenting a novel data converter that utilizes ASP and rail-to-rail operation. Rail-to-Rail operation is achieved in the data converter …
