Optimal Synthesis Of Mite Translinear Loops, Shyam Subramanian, David Anderson, Paul Hasler, Bradley Minch
Optimal Synthesis Of Mite Translinear Loops, Shyam Subramanian, David Anderson, Paul Hasler, Bradley Minch
Bradley Minch
A procedure for synthesizing multiple-input translinear element (MITE) networks that implement a given system of translinear-loop equations (STLE) is presented. The minimum number of MITEs required for implementing the STLE, which is equal to the number of current variables in the STLE, is attained. The number of input gates ofthe MITEs is minimal amongst those MITE networks that satisfy the STLE and have the minimum number of MITEs. The synthesized MITE networks have a unique operating point and, in many cases, the network is guaranteed to be stable in a particular sense. This synthesis procedure exploits the relationship between MITEproduct-of-power-law …

Programmable Multiple Input Translinear Elements, Haw-Jing Jo, Guillermo Serrano, Paul Hasler, David Anderson, Bradley Minch

Large networks composed of multiple input translinear elements (MITEs) have been typically limited by the mismatches between individual MITEs. This paper presents the methodology that allows for such systems to be feasible through the application of floating-gate programming techniques. We introduce designs for a programmable MITE, and demonstrate the ability to systematically reduce offsets through accurate programming of example circuits.

Integration Of Chemical Sensing And Electrowetting Actuation On Chemoreceptive Neuron Mos (Cνmos) Transistors, Nick Shen, Zengtao Liu, Blake Jacquot, Bradley Minch, Edwin Kan
Bradley Minch
An integration of chemical sensors and electrowetting actuators based on the chemoreceptive neuron MOS (CνMOS) transistors has brought forth a novel system-on-chip approach to the microfluidic system. The extended floating-gate structure of the CνMOS transistors enables monolithic sensing and actuating schemes. The sensors with generic chemical receptive areas have been characterized with various fluids, and have demonstrated a high sensitivity from the current differentiation and a large dynamic range from threshold-voltage shifts in sensing polar and electrolytic liquids. The actuators have illustrated valve functions based on contact-angle modification by nonvolatile charge injection into the channel wall. Electrochemical models for sensing …

A Physical Compact Model Of Dg Mosfet For Mixed-Signal Circuit Applications - Part I: Model Description, Gen Pei, Weiping Ni, Abhishek Kammula, Bradley Minch, Edwin Kan
Bradley Minch
To use double-gate (DG) MOSFET for mixed-signal circuit applications, especially for circuits in which the two gates are independently driven, such as in the case of dynamic-threshold and fixed-potential-plane operations, physical compact models that are valid for all modes of operations are necessary for accurate design and analysis. Employing physically rigorous current-voltage (I-V) relationship in subthreshold and above-threshold regions as asymptotic cases, we have constructed a model that joins the two operating regions by using carrier-screening functions. We have included consistently source/drain series resistance, low drain-field mobility, and small-geometry effects of drain-induced barrier lowering (DIBL), MOS interface mobility, velocity saturation …

A novel chemoreceptive neuron MOS (CνMOS) transistor with an extended floating-gate structure has been designed with several individual features that significantly facilitate system integration of chemical sensing. We have fabricated CνMOS transistors with generic molecular receptive areas and have characterized them with various fluids. We use an insulating polymer layer to provide physical and electrical isolation for sample fluid delivery. Experimental results from these devices have demonstrated both high sensitivity via current differentiation and large dynamic range from threshold voltage shifts in sensing both polar and electrolytic liquids. We have established electrochemical models for both steady-state and transient analyses. Our …
Silicon Synaptic Adaptation Mechanisms For Homeostasis And Contrast Gain Control, Shih-Chii Liu, Bradley Minch
Silicon Synaptic Adaptation Mechanisms For Homeostasis And Contrast Gain Control, Shih-Chii Liu, Bradley Minch
Bradley Minch
We explore homeostasis in a silicon integrate-and-fire neuron. The neuron adapts its firing rate over time periods on the order of seconds or minutes so that it returns to its spontaneous firing rate after a sustained perturbation. Homeostasis is implemented via two schemes. One scheme looks at the presynaptic activity and adapts the synaptic weight depending on the presynaptic spiking rate. The second scheme adapts the synaptic"threshold" depending on the neuron's activity. The threshold is lowered if the neuron's activity decreases over a long time and is increased for prolonged increase in postsynaptic activity. The presynaptic adaptation mechanism models the …
Construction And Transformation Of Multiple-Input Translinear Element Networks, Bradley Minch
Construction And Transformation Of Multiple-Input Translinear Element Networks, Bradley Minch
Bradley Minch
We present a simple algorithmic procedure for constructing a multiple-input translinear element (MITE) network from a translinear-loop equation. We also give a number of MITE-network transformations that alter the structure of the MITE network without altering the translinear-loop equation that it embodies. The results that we establish in this paper serve as foundations for the synthesis of both static and dynamic MITE networks from high-level specifications.
