A 12b 10MS/s Pipelined ADC Using Reference Scaling
A 12b 10MS/s pipelined ADC using reference scaling achieves 62 dB SNDR and 72 dB SFDR for a 1MHz input. The prototype IC fabricated in a 0.35”m CMOS process employs interstage amplifiers with 45dB open-loop gain and consumes 19mW from a 2.4V supply

Japan's Policy Stance on East Asian Neo-Regionalism: From Being a âReluctantâ, to Becoming a âProactiveâ State
This article is a theoretically grounded empirical contribution aimed at shedding light on Japan's policy stance on East Asian neo-regionalism. It aims to examine the recent region-building process in East Asia. The dynamics in East Asia suggest that regional institutionalization, brought about by norm diffusion based on the idea of neo-regionalism, is likely to follow a progressive and evolutionary trajectory through the institutionalization of the Association of Southeast Asian Nation (ASEAN)â+â3 (South Korea, Japan and China). It provides a wide spectrum of regional-integrationist perspectives in order to offer as full a picture as possible of Japan's role in promoting regional integration in East Asia. The key finding of this article is that Japan has changed from a being âreluctantâ, to becoming a âproactiveâ state in the context of regional collaboration in East Asia.Japan, EAEC, ASEANâ+â3, East Asia, reluctant state, proactive state, neo-regionalism,
Development and evaluation of Cetirizine HCl taste-masked oral disintegrating tablets
The purpose of the current study was to mask the taste of cetirizine HCl and to incorporate the granules produced in oral disintegrating tablets (ODT). The bitter, active substance was coated by fluidized bed coating using EudragitÂź RL30-D at levels between 15% and 40% w/w. The ODTs were developed by varying the ratio of superdisintegrants such as sodium croscarmellose, crospovidone grades and low substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose (L-HPC). A direct compression process was used to compress the ODTs under various compaction forces to optimize tablet robustness. The properties of the compressed tablets including porosity, hardness, friability and dissolution profiles were further investigated. The in vitro and in vivo evaluation of the tablet disintegration times showed almost identical rapid disintegration below 10 s at the optimal levels of each superdisintegrant. Finally, the taste and sensory evaluation in human volunteers demonstrated excellence in masking the bitter active and tablet palatability
