electrically insulated smart sensors principles for operation and supply
Sensors and Actuators A-physical, 1991Co-Authors: W Kuntz, Robert MoresAbstract:Abstract Smart sensors are distinguished by a microcontroller which handles measured data and transmits them by means of a Serial Interface. Until now, metallic wires have served for the power supply. This paper shows how to transmit both power and data by means of optical fibers only. Due to the small power available, very sophisticated strategies have been developed for the hardware and the software to operate standard microcontrollers intermittently at low power consumption. This results in smart sensors with negligible susceptibility to electromagnetic interference (EMI). This new type of sensor is also ideally insulated electrically. It is shown that a wide range of elementary sensors and actuators can be employed at adequate measuring rates.

fpga prototyping strategy for a h 264 avc video decoder
Rapid System Prototyping, 2007Co-Authors: Vagner Santos Da Rosa, Wagston Tassoni Staehle, Arnaldo Azevedo, Roge E. Porto, Sergio Ampi, Luciano Agostini, Altamiro Amadeu SusiAbstract:This paper presents the prototyping strategy used to validate the designed modules of a main profile H.264/AVC video decoder designed to achieve 1080p HDTV resolution, implemented in a FPGA. All modules designed were completely described in VHDL and further validated through simulations. The post place-and-route synthesis results indicate that the designed architectures are able to target real time when processing HDTV 1080p frames (1080times1920). The architectures were prototyped using a Digilent XUP V2P board, containing a Virtex-II Pro XC2VP30 Xilinx FPGA. The prototyping strategy used an embedded Power PC and associated logic and buffering to control the modules under prototyping. A host computer, running the reference software, was used to generate the input stimuli and to compare the results, through a RS-232 Serial Interface.

a fully programmable 16 channel spectroscopy amplifier in a single nim unit
Nuclear Science Symposium and Medical Imaging Conference, 1995Co-Authors: R Bassini, C Boiano, S Brambilla, M MalatestaAbstract:A high-performances 16-channel spectroscopy amplifier having high performances has been developed in a single width NIM unit. The pole zero cancellation, the coarse and fine gain, the shaping time, the output polarity and the output DC offset Can be adjusted through a Serial Interface. The selected values are stored in a non-volatile memory. Each channel has three analog outputs. The first has a nearly gaussian shape with gain from 0.5 to 256 (2048 possible values), the second is a similar pulse with again 10 times the choosen value of the first output. The last is a fast signal suitable for timing purposes. The module has an additional multiplexed output that can be programmed to present the output of any channel for remote monitoring. >

a fully programmable 16 channel spectroscopy amplifier in a single nim unit
IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium, 1994Co-Authors: R Bassini, C Boiano, S Brambilla, M MalatestaAbstract:A 16 channel programmable spectroscopy amplifier having high performances has been developed to answer the demands of nuclear experiments. Housed in a single width NIM unit, the module is fully programmable through a Serial Interface and all selected values are stored in a non volatile memory. Usually in nuclear experiments, the data is collected into the Data Acquisition Systems by ADC's, QAC's and TDC's modules. The facilities of the Unit here described, allow a good match with these modules. Actually the 16 channel spectroscopy amplifier houses double sixteen analog outputs; they can be easily programmed whether to have positive or negative pulses allowing one to use either ADC's or QDC's. Furthermore sixteen timing outputs are available on the front panel. >

design of a half rate receiver for a 10gbps automotive Serial Interface with 1 tap unrolled 4 taps dfe and custom cdr algorithm
International Symposium on Circuits and Systems, 2018Co-Authors: Andrea Bandiziol, Werner Grollitsch, Francesco Brandonisio, Matteo Bassi, Roberto Nonis, P PalestriAbstract:Robust and reliable operation of high-speed Serial Interfaces (HSSI) in automotive environment is challenging. In this paper, we present the analysis and design of a 10Gbps receiver with 4-taps decision feedback equalizer (DFE) with 1-tap unrolled. A novel clock-and-data-recovery (CDR) algorithm is presented to consistently deal with the combined effect of Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) and DFE on data transitions. The receiver, designed with a 28nm technology, consumes 2.05mW/Gbps and post-layout simulations are reported to show the advantage of the proposed architecture.

design characterization and signal integrity analysis of a 2 5 gb s high speed Serial Interface for automotive applications overarching the chip pcb wall
IEEE International Forum on Research and Technologies for Society and Industry Leveraging a better tomorrow, 2015Co-Authors: Andrea Cossettini, Werner Grollitsch, Roberto Nonis, P Palestri, A Cristofoli, L Alves, L Della Ricca, L SelmiAbstract:A 2.5 Gb/s high-speed Serial transmitter for automotive applications has been designed and a circuit/package/board integrated simulation procedure has been set up, enabling the co-design of High-Speed-Serial Interfaces. This simulation methodology employs transistor level models of the transmitter combined with physical-based models of the transmission channel, thus no simplified behavioral models are needed. Model/hardware correlation is reported, including eye closure and jitter effects. Good mutual agreement is found between experiments and simulations.
