Inverter-Based Low-Voltage CCII- Design and Its Filter Application
This paper presents a negative type second-generation current conveyor (CCII-). It is based on an inverter-based low-voltage error amplifier, and a negative current mirror. The CCII- could be operated in a very low supply voltage such as ±0.5V. The proposed CCII- has wide input voltage range (±0.24V), wide output voltage (±0.24V) and wide output current range (±24mA). The proposed CCII- has no on-chip capacitors, so it can be designed with standard CMOS digital processes. Moreover, the architecture of the proposed circuit without cascoded MOSFET transistors is easily designed and suitable for low-voltage operation. The proposed CCII- has been fabricated in TSMC 0.18μm CMOS processes and it occupies 1189.91 x 1178.43μm2 (include PADs). It can also be validated by low voltage CCII filters
Induced interactions in dilute atomic gases and liquid helium mixtures
In dilute mixtures of two atomic gases, interactions between two minority
atoms acquire a contribution due to interaction with the majority component.
Using thermodynamic arguments, we derive expressions for this induced
interaction for both fermions and bosons for arbitrary strength of the
interaction between the two components. Implications of the work for the theory
of dilute solutions of He in liquid He are discussed.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figure, NORDITA-2012-3
Microwave Nanotube Transistor Operation at High Bias
We measure the small signal, 1 GHz source-drain dynamical conductance of a
back-gated single-walled carbon nanotube field effect transistor at both low
and high dc bias voltages. At all bias voltages, the intrinsic device dynamical
conductance at 1 GHz is identical to the low frequency dynamical conductance,
consistent with the prediction of a cutoff frequency much higher than 1 GHz.
This work represents a significant step towards a full characterization of a
nanotube transistor for RF and microwave amplifiers.Comment: 3 pages, 4 figure
