Synchronous logic remains the dominant design paradigm of digital systems such as Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). The conventional design of sequential circuit networks is based on the assumption that every register receives the clock signal at the same time. However, guaranteeing the simultaneity of clock arrival times in practice...

Power converters convert electrical energy (e.g., convert alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC) and vice versa, change the voltage or frequency of current, or do some combination thereof). Transformers are key components in power converters and transfer electrical energy from one electrical circuit to another circuit or multiple circuits....

Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) act as gatekeepers between physical world (analog) and data analytics (digital). In the IoT era of connected edge devices sensing various physical quantities for analysis in the cloud, ADCs need to have both high resolution (14-16 bits) and high energy efficiency at µW level power. High resolution data conversion...
