Tohidian, M. (author), Madadi, I. (author), Staszewski, R.B. (author)In this paper, we propose a discrete-time IIR low-pass filter that achieves a high-order of filtering through a charge-sharing rotation. Its sampling rate is then multiplied through pipelining. The first stage of the filter can operate in either a voltage-sampling or charge-sampling mode. It uses switches, capacitors and a simple gm-cell, rather...journal article 2014

Reda, M.B. (author)The ?-VEX processor is a parameterized reconfigurable Very Large Instruction Word (VLIW) softcore processor. It can be reconfigured in the issue-width, number and type of functional units (FUs), width of memory buses and number of registers in the multi- ported register file. The current design of the ?-VEX processor supports single cluster...master thesis 2014

Nane, R. (author)Reconfigurable Architectures (RA) have been gaining popularity rapidly in the last decade for two reasons. First, processor clock frequencies reached threshold values past which power dissipation becomes a very difficult problem to solve. As a consequence, alternatives were sought to keep improving the system performance. Second, because Field...doctoral thesis 2014

Hoozemans, J.J. (author)This thesis describes the design and implementation of an FPGA-based hardware platform based on the rVEX VLIW softcore and the adaption of a Linux 2.0 no_mmu kernel to run on that platform. The rVEX is a runtime reconfigurable VLIW softcore processor. It supports various configurations that allow programs to run faster or more efficient. The...master thesis 2014
