본 논문에서는 bump 회로를 이용한 하드웨어 기반의 윤곽선 검출 회로를 제안한다. 하나의 픽셀은 빛을 전기적인 신호로 변환하는 active pixel sensor (APS)와 주변 픽셀의 밝기 차이를 비교하는 bump회로로 구성된다. 제안하는 회로는 $64{\times}64$의 이미지를 대상으로하며, 각 열(column)마다 비교기를 공유한다. 비교기는 외부에서 인가되는 기준전압을 통해 최종적으로 대상픽셀의 윤곽선 여부를 판별한다. 또한 기존의 4개 혹은 그 이상의 픽셀 데이터를 비교하는 윤곽선 검출 알고리즘을 상대적으로 간소화하여 대상픽셀을 포함하여 3개의 픽셀만으로 윤곽선 검출을 가능토록 제안하였다. 따라서 하나의 픽셀에 비교적 적은 수의 트랜지스터로 구성하였다. 따라서 제한적인 픽셀 크기에서 fill factor를 충분히 확보함으로써 수용 가능한 조도의 범위를 확장하였고, 기준전압을 외부에서 입력 받기 때문에 윤곽선 레벨을 조절 할 수 있다. Bump 회로기반의 윤곽선 검출 회로는 0.18um CMOS 공정에서 설계되었으며, 1.8V의 공급전압에서 픽셀 당 0.9uW의 전력 소모율, 34%의 fill factor을 갖는다. 이는 기존회로대비 전력 소모율을 90% 개선하였고, 기존 회로에 비하여 면적은 약 18.7%, fill factor는 약 16%를 더 확보하였다.

This Paper describes the design of high speed and low power comparator based on the feed forward bias control. Major building blocks of this comparator are composed of input offset canceling circuit and feed forward bias control circuit. The usual offset canceling circuit cancels the offset voltages by storing them in capacitors using MOS switches, The comparator of this paper employs the bias control circuit which generates bias signal from the input signal. The bias signal is applied to the capacitors and keeps the transfer of chares in the capacitors in the minimal amount, therefore making the comparator operate in stable condition and reduce decision time. The comparator in this form has very samll area and power dissipation. Maximum sampling rate is 200 Ms/sec. The comparator is designed in 0.65${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ technology and the offset is less than 0.5㎷.

This paper presents the design of a CMOS programmable slew rate operational amplifier based upon a newly proposed concept, that is a switched parallel current subtraction circuit with adaptive biasing technique. By utilizing the newly designed circuit, it was proven that slew rate was linearly controlled and power dissipation was optimized. If the programmable slew rate amplifier is employed into mixed signal system, it can furnish the convenience of timing control and optimized power dissipation. Simulated data showed the slew rate ranging from 5. 83V/$\mu$s to 41.4V/$\mu$s, power dissipation ranging from 1.13mW to 4.1mW, and the other circuit performance parameters were proven to be comparable with those of a conventional operational amplifier.

A new CMOS neuron circuit for implementing bistable synapses with spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) properties has been proposed. In neuromorphic systems using STDP properties, the short-term dynamics of the synaptic efficacies are governed by the relative timing of the pre- and post-synaptic spikes, and the efficacies tend asymptotically to either a potentiated state or to a depressed one on long time scales. The proposed circuit consists of a negative shifter, a current starved inverter and a schmitt trigger designed using 0.18um CMOS technology. The simulation result shows that the proposed circuit can reduce the total size of neurons, and the spike energy of the proposed circuit is much less compared to the conventional circuits.

This paper presents a two-stage power-efficient class-AB operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) based on an adaptive biasing circuit suited to low-power dissipation and low-voltage operation. The OTA shows significant improvements in driving capability and power dissipation owing to the novel adaptive biasing circuit. The OTA dissipates only $0.4{\mu}W$ from a supply voltage of ${\pm}0.6V$ and exhibits excellent high driving, which results in a slew rate improvement of more than 250 times that of the conventional class-AB amplifier. The design is fabricated using $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS technology.
