As semiconductor devices shrink further, the effects of process variation become more and more pronounced. They negatively impact the speed and power consumption of Integrated Circuits (ICs). Traditionally, a worst-case based design methodology is used to compensate for their potential impact. For modern technology this method means an increased...

In today's society, we are flooded with massive volumes of data in the order of a billion gigabytes on a daily basis from pervasive sensors. It is becoming increasingly challenging to locally store and transport the acquired data to a central location for signal/data processing (i.e., for inference). To alleviate these problems, it is evident...

As capacitive sensing provides flexible and reliable touch user interfaces for a varied set of applications, it has gained popularity over other touch sensing techniques. Consequently, capacitive touchscreens when interfaced with large display panels increases the number of channels that a readout IC has to support. As existing area-intensive...

Zhang, H. (author)
For energy management in wireless sensor networks, only the sensors with most informative measurements are activated to operate. How to select sensors that make good tradeoff between performance and energy consumption is what many researchers are focusing on. Existing solutions assume analog data model, i.e., the data from sensors collected by a...

Analog interfacing is the only way to communicate with a quantum processor, whether it is applying qubit operations or reading their quantum states. There exist other applications where analog interfacing is abundant, e.g. sensor networks, automotive, industrial control, etc. In those applications the use of FPGAs is continuously growing,...

SiGe bipolar amplifiers are getting more competitive in terms of noise figure to GaAs amplifiers. However, the linearity of these amplifiers is still limited in view of these GaAs implementations. In order to address and overcome these linearity limitations, this thesis report will start demonstrating that the linearity of SiGe bipolar...
