This work is a contribution to a drastic change in standard signal processing chains. The
main objective is to reduce the power consumption by one or two orders of magnitude …

A new current comparator is proposed that is optimised for low power consumption whilst
maintaining high speed. This novel comparator design offers a reduction in power …

System-on-a-chip (SoC) designs result in a wide range of high-complexity, high-value
semiconductor products. As the technology scales towards smaller feature sizes and chips …

In this paper, a new high-speed current mode comparator based on inherent current
conveyor and positive feedback properties is presented. This novel approach has resulted in …

A front end ASIC (BiCMOS-SiGe 0.35 μm) has been developed within the framework of the
MIMAC detector project, which aims at directional detection of non-baryonic Dark Matter …

In this paper, a low power 5-bit hybrid flash architecture is proposed. The proposed analog-
to-digital converter (ADC) uses appropriate combination of both conventional double-tail …

This invention relates to a method and apparatus for converting a current signal into a two-
level output voltage depending on a reference current signal. In one embodiment, a first …

A front end ASIC has been designed to equip the\textmu TPC prototype developed for the
MIMAC project, which requires 3D reconstruction of low energy particle tracks in order to …

In this work an analog implementation of nonlinear filters based on a current-mode
sorting/selection network is presented. Three nonlinear filters, an erosion/dilation, a median …

Novel single electron transistor (SET) read-out circuit designs are described. The circuits
use a silicon SET interfaced to a CMOS voltage mode or current mode comparator to obtain …
