An Rs-485 Transceiver In A Silicon Carbide Cmos Process, Maria Raquel Benavides Herrera
An Rs-485 Transceiver In A Silicon Carbide Cmos Process, Maria Raquel Benavides Herrera
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
This thesis presents the design, simulation and test results of a silicon carbide (SiC) RS-485 transceiver for high temperature applications. This circuit is a building block in the design and fabrication of a digital data processing and control system. Automation processes for extreme environments, remote connection to high temperature locations, deep earth drilling, and high temperature data acquisition are some of the potential applications for such a system. The transceiver was designed and developed in a 1.2 µm SiC-CMOS process by Raytheon Systems, Ltd. (UK). It has been tested with a supply voltage of 12 V and 15 V, temperatures …
Efficacy Of Multi-Threshold Null Convention Logic In Low-Power Applications, Brent Bell
Efficacy Of Multi-Threshold Null Convention Logic In Low-Power Applications, Brent Bell
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
In order for an asynchronous design paradigm such as Multi-Threshold NULL Convention Logic (MTNCL) to be adopted by industry, it is important for circuit designers to be aware of its advantages and drawbacks especially with respect to power usage. The power tradeoff between MTNCL and synchronous designs depends on many different factors including design type, circuit size, process node, and pipeline granularity. Each of these design dimensions influences the active power and the leakage power comparisons. This dissertation analyzes the effects of different design dimensions on power consumption and the associated rational for these effects. Results show that while MTNCL …

Low Latency Intrusion Detection In Smart Grids, Israel Zairi Akingeneye
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
The transformation of traditional power grids into smart grids has seen more new technologies such as communication networks and smart meters (sensors) being integrated into the physical infrastructure of the power grids. However, these technologies pose new vulnerabilities to the cybersecurity of power grids as malicious attacks can be launched by adversaries to attack the smart meters and modify the measurement data collected by these meters. If not timely detected and removed, these attacks may lead to inaccurate system state estimation, which is critical to the system operators for control decisions such as economic dispatch and other related functions.
