In this paper, the authors develop enhanced energy consumption model to calculate and compare the hardware energy consumption of SPI and I2C digital serial interfaces in PIC (Programmable Interface Controllers) microcontrollers and analyze using software simulation tools. Energy consumption of two digital serial interfaces (SPI and I2C) in PIC 16F877 has been measured and compared. ...
In this paper, the authors discuss the design of an Integrated Circuit (IC) layout for a decoder. The layout was designed by using an open source software namely electric VLSI design system as the Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tool. In order to produce the layout, the basic knowledge of fabrication process and IC design rules ...
A novel ultra-high speed, compact and least sensitive to process variation, hybrid sense amplifier is designed for ultra-low power SRAM. Precisely sized Current Mode Circuit (CMC) is designed to provide differential current from bit-lines. The authors eliminate the global sensing stage to save silicon area and sized the output buffers to achieve full logic swing ...
