Design, Fabrication, and Characterization of a 4H-SiC CMOS Readout Circuit for Monolithic Integration with SiC Sensors

This paper reports the design and fabrication of a 4H-SiC CMOS readout circuit enabling monolithic integration of silicon carbide (SiC) sensors and circuits. Compared to conventional Si electronics, 4H-SiC integrated circuits can sustain operation in harsh conditions such as higher temperatures and radiation levels. The proposed amplifier...

A Readout IC for Capacitive Touch Screen Panels With 33.9 dB Charge-Overflow Reduction Using Amplitude-Modulated Multi-Frequency Excitation

This article presents a readout integrated circuit (ROIC) for capacitive touch-screen panels (TSPs) employing an amplitude-modulated multiple-frequency excitation (AM-MFE) technique. To prevent charge overflow, which occurs periodically at the beat frequency of the excitation frequencies, the ROIC modulates the amplitude of the excitation...

Signal to Noise Ratio of APD-Based Monolithic Scintillator Detectors for High Resolution PET

Distortion Estimation in Compressed Music Using Only Audio Fingerprints

An audio fingerprint is a compact yet very robust representation of the perceptually relevant parts of an audio signal. It can be used for content-based audio identification, even when the audio is severely distorted. Audio compression changes the fingerprint slightly. We show that these small fingerprint differences due to compression can be...
