Analysis of Microcontroller Embedded SRAMs for Applications in Physical Unclonable Functions
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-30)The growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) market has motivated widespread proliferation of microcontroller- (MCU) based embedded systems. Suitable due to their abundance, low cost, low power consumption and small ... -
A Comparative Analysis for Low-voltage, Low-power, and Low-energy Flip-flops
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-01)Recently, several flip-flops have been proposed to increase their speed while reducing their power and energy consumption. Flip-flop power is dependent on data activity and in many applications data activity is between ... -
Design of SRAM Based Dosimetry Used for Neutron and Proton Detection
(University of Waterloo, 2020-04-27)Radiation causes soft errors in memory devices, and a variety of research has been focused on techniques to reduce these soft errors. In this thesis, instead of mitigating soft errors, we present an SRAM based dosimeter ... -
Investigating Input Offset Reduction with Timing Manipulation in Low Voltage Sense Amplifiers
(University of Waterloo, 2021-02-18)Static Random Access Memories (SRAMs) are ubiquitous in modern computer systems. They provide a fast and relatively compact method of data storage. SRAM cells are read from and written to using analog differential bitline ... -
A Mixed Signal 65nm CMOS Implementation of a Spiking Neural Network
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-26)Spiking neural networks (SNNs) are an emerging class of biologically inspired Artificial Neural Networks implemented in machine learning and artificial intelligence. Current state-of-the-art small- and large-scale SNNs ... -
Preliminary Development of a Microfluidic Tool for the Characterization of Molecular Machines
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-06)Transmembrane proteins cross the membranes of biological cells and perform integral cell functions that often must be described using quantum mechanics. Developing a better understanding of these quantum mechanical behaviours ...
