Event-Driven Circuit Architectures for Scalable and Adaptive Sensor Readout

Georges Gielen , Jonah Van Assche

This book describes the analysis and design of event-driven processing circuits in the mixed-signal domain, which aim to directly reduce the amount of system data when sampling the data. By investigating event-driven sensing techniques, that adaptively adjust the...

Neuromorphic Solutions for Sensor Fusion and Continual Learning Systems

Francky Catthoor , Georges Gielen , Lars Keuninckx , Ali Safa

This book provides novel theoretical foundations and experimental demonstrations of Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) in tasks such as radar gesture recognition for IoT devices and autonomous drone navigation using a fusion of retina-inspired event-based camera and radar...

Time-encoding VCO-ADCs for Integrated Systems-on-Chip

Georges Gielen , Luis Hernandez-Corporales , Pieter Rombouts

This book demonstrates why highly-digital CMOS time-encoding analog-to-digital converters incorporating voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) and time-to-digital converters (TDCs) are a good alternative to traditional switched-capacitor S-D modulators for...

Design of Power-Efficient Highly Digital Analog-to-Digital Converters for Next-Generation Wireless Communication Systems

Georges Gielen , Xinpeng Xing , Peng Zhu

This book discusses both architecture- and circuit-level design aspects of voltage-controlled-oscillator (VCO)-based analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), especially focusing on mitigation of VCO nonlinearity and the improvement of power efficiency. It shows readers how...

Temperature- and Supply Voltage-Independent Time References for Wireless Sensor Networks

Valentijn De Smedt , Wim Dehaene , Georges Gielen

This book investigates the possible circuit solutions to overcome the temperature and supply voltage-sensitivity of fully-integrated time references for ultra-low-power communication in wireless sensor networks. The authors provide an elaborate theoretical introduction...

Analog IC Reliability in Nanometer CMOS

Georges Gielen , Elie Maricau

This book focuses on modeling, simulation and analysis of analog circuit aging. First, all important nanometer CMOS physical effects resulting in circuit unreliability are reviewed. Then, transistor aging compact models for circuit simulation are discussed and several...

Systematic Modeling and Analysis of Telecom Frontends and their Building Blocks

Georges Gielen , Willy M Sansen , Piet Vanassche
