A new CMOS differential latched comparator suitable for low voltage, low-power application is presented. The circuit consists of constant-gm rail-to-rail common-mode operational transconductance amplifier followed by a regenerative latch in a track and latch configuration to achieve a relatively constant delay. The use of a track and latch minimizes the total number of gain stages required for a given resolution. Potential offset from the constant-g/sub m/ differential input stage, estimated as the main source of offset, can be minimized by proper choice of transistors sizes. Simulation results show that the circuit requires less than 86 /spl mu/A with a supply voltage of 1.65 V in a standard CMOS 0.18 /spl mu/m digital process. The average delay is less than 1 ns and is approximately independent of the common-mode input voltage.

The coupling of InAs QDs emission to the two dimensional photonic crystal defect cavity has been demonstrated for the first time and a narrow filtered emission linewidth could be observed. We describe the emission from 2D photonic crystals that contain an InAs QDs active layer. The epitaxial layers were grown on [001] GaAs by molecular beam epitaxy.

In this paper, a rate controller for a H.261 based video encoder is proposed. The rate controller adaptively chooses the optimal channel matched quantizer using a stochastic learning automaton. The automaton learns the channel characteristics based on a one bit feedback from the decoder. The rate control algorithm is shown to converge to the optimal choice of the quantizer very quickly for various channel bit error probabilities and for different video sequences. The adaptation can be achieved in real-time. The peak signal to noise ratio of the received video signal is seen to be better using the proposed approach.

The Modified Covariance method of spectral estimation, proposed as a replacement of the conventional short term Fourier transform for use with pulsed Doppler ultrasound blood flow detectors in order to improve time/frequency resolution, is computationally far more demanding. The use of an application specific architecture for real-time implementation is of interest. A cost/benefit selection of systolic arrays, firstly for a matrix solution method with suitable bus width and secondly for calculation of covariance matrix elements, led to the choice of Cholesky matrix decomposition, 12 bit bus width and a bi-linear systolic array designed using a data dependence graph method.

A photoelectrochemical etching process for n-type GaN using KOH solution and broad-area Hg arc lamp illumination is described. Etch rates as high as 320 nm/min are obtained. The etch rate is investigated as a function of light intensity for stirred and unstirred solutions. Preliminary results on etching of Al0.1Ga0.9N layers are reported.
