Invention Description Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) translate continuous analog signals into discrete digital numbers. Because modern computing relies on digital data, which is easier to store, manipulate, and transmit, ADCs are the bridge connecting the physical world to electronics. Better ADCs are vital for supporting next-gen technologies...

Invention Description Selectorless resistive random-access memory is crucial for achieving high-density crossbar scaling, however, suppressing sneak path currents (SPCs) without external selector components is still a major challenge. Conventional von Neumann architectures, which transfer data between the process unit towards memory, struggle to keep...

Invention Description Designing high-performance analog circuits, such as analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), is a complex and time-intensive process that typically requires significant expert knowledge and manual tuning. Traditional design methods rely heavily on iterative trial-and-error, making it difficult to efficiently meet strict performance...
