and 0.4 V for digital), the ADC consumes 53 nW at a sampling rate of 1 kS/s and achieves the ENOB of 9.1 bits. The leakage power constitutes 25% of the 53-nW total power. Index Terms—ADC, analog-to-digital conversion, leakage power consumption, low-power electronics, medical implant devices, successive approximation. I. INTRODUCTION EDICAL implant devices, such as pacemakers and implantable cardiac defibrillators, target increasingly advanced signal acquisition and signal processing systems. Such

Project Synopsis ECE 441 HDL Programming Topic: Analog to Digital Converter using Verilog programming Language By: Kamaalbir Singh (Section: E3901, Roll No: B28) & Jasmeet Singh (Section: E3901, Roll No: B27) Introduction: An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is a device that converts a continuous physical quantity (usually voltage) to a digital number that represents the quantity's amplitude. The conversion involves quantization of the input, so it necessarily introduces a small

measurement into a suitable signal format (4 – 20mA or digital) and then transmit it to a controller which makes the control decision and finally acts on a final control element in the control loop. What does this signal transmission is referred to as a transmitter. The schematic below illustrates the interactions between all the elements in the control loop: | Elements of a Process Control Loop | What is a Transmitter? A Transmitter is a device that converts the signal produced by a sensor

that someone can intercept and interpret those electromagnetic radiations to reconstruct the exact information poses a serious security issue because it jeopardizes confidentiality and secrecy. An attacker usually employs statistical analysis, signal processing, and artificial intelligence techniques to decipher the ciphertext and to reveal the arithmetic implementations of the cryptographic algorithm. Only accredited laboratories are allowed to test electronic products. The US government, NATO military

but by the mid-1930s it was used widely for hydrography in Canada. Early echosounders were quite crude and had low resolution (large sonar footprint). They required constant attention to get moderate performance. Advances in digital circuitry and digital signal processing led to modern survey echosounders with high resolution, high precision and good long-time frequency stability. Improvements in transducer materials and design led to narrow-shaped beams capable of resolving small targets on the

playing computer games on my Sinclair ZX81. When I attended university, I had a special interest in numerical analysis, a field that I felt combines math and computers ideally. During my career, I learned of MATLAB, widely popular for digital signal processing, numerical analysis, and feedback and control. MATLAB’s strong suits include a high-level programming language, excellent graphing capabilities, and numerous packages from almost every imaginable engineering field. But I found that MATLAB

entrepreneur. The curriculum of my undergraduate institute, BVM Engineering College affiliated to Gujarat Technological University, Anand, Gujarat, introduced me to the basics of several subjects, such as Digital Signal Processing, Integrated Circuits Application, Basic and Advance Electronics, Digital Communication, Wireless communication, 8085 microprocessors, 8051 microcontrollers and application of theories in practice through lab work and team projects. I was also introduced to the concepts of Communication

of the standard stethoscope three fold while maintaining the fidelity of standard acoustic stethoscope. The three areas of increased functionality are: converting the acoustic sound waves from the stethoscope to a filterable, amplifiable electronic signal, increasing the length of the stethoscope so the heartbeat can be heard from further away, and creating both headphone and speaker listening capabilities. In order to do
