NAND flash memory is a storage medium composed of floating-gate transistors. Floating-gate transistors have some semblance to a MOSFET (electrically) with the exception of its floating gate. Data (1’s and 0’s) can be stored by modulating the amount of . . .

To design for high performance circuits, a precision clock with low jitter is needed to meet the high frequency requirements. A phase-locked loop (PLL) is used to achieve the required low jitter. The phase-locked loop architecture can be simplified do . . .

A current-mode logic (CML) frequency divider and buffer chain were designed and simulated for a phase-locked loop (PLL) in 0.18μm CMOS. In the CML buffer chain, a P-to-N channel converter was designed to convert a signal from a CML buffer using PMOS i . . .

The design and simulation of a phase frequency detector and a charge pump for a low-jitter, high-frequency phase-locked loop in 0.18μm CMOS are explored. The NAND-based sequential phase frequency detector is shown to accurately compare the phase diffe . . .

The project focuses on the application of variable frequency drives for storm water pump stations. Multiple pumps are activated according to the water level in the storage box. The multiple starts of the regular starter based pumps at full speed cause . . .

A phase-locked loop is needed on nearly every integrated circuit to align the phase and frequency of the clock created by the on-chip oscillator to an external reference clock. This project was to design and simulate a programmable frequency divider i . . .

This project’s focus is on the feasibility of designing an embedded coplanar waveguide (CPW) transmission line (TL) in order achieve the following: 1. Improve signal isolation 2. Determine whether embedded CPW is a better design alternative than strip . . .

The rise of renewable energy sources being attached to the distribution side of power systems is changing the way old radial protection schemes work. The purpose of this paper is to explore how Distributed Generation (DG) can change the timing operati . . .

Tremor is a neurological symptom which may result from Parkinson’s disease (PD). The time series specific to tremor is analyzed using tools derived from chaotic analysis, such as Lyapunov exponent, correlation dimension, and capacity dimension. This p . . .

Tremor is an unintentional oscillatory movement of body parts. It is observed in healthy people as well as in people with disorders. While the symptoms are similar, tremor signals have different frequencies and amplitudes. The method we proposed is ba . . .
