Clock glitches are useful in hardware security applications, where systems are tested for vulnerabilities emerging from fault attacks. Usually a precisely timed and controlled glitch signal is employed. However, this requires complex generators and deep knowledge about the system under attack.&#x...

Programmable Logic Controllers are used for smart homes, in production processes or to control critical infrastructures. Modern industrial devices in the control level are often communicating over proprietary protocols on top of TCP/IP with each other and SCADA systems. The networks in&...

The paper addresses a top-down design flow of depletion-load digital inverter formed by monolithically integrated depletion-mode and enhancement-mode high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) on common InAlN/GaN heterostructure grown on sapphire substrate. We describe the inverter design at transistor...

We address a novel probabilistic approach to estimate the Worst Case Response Time boundaries of tasks. Multi-core real-time systems process tasks in parallel on two or more cores. Tasks in our contribution may preempt other tasks, block tasks with semaphores to access global share...

The paper focuses on nonlinear analysis of high Q RF energy harvesting circuits. The analysis is made mathematically and by large signal simulation via Keysight Advanced Design System. The mathematical analysis of the nonlinear harvesting circuits is done by using the Galerkin method&#x...

A charge pump is DC/DC converter that produces a higher output voltage than power supply or generates a negative output voltage. Some variants of charge pumps work as voltage regulator, too. A charge pump is realised by capacitors, transistors and/or diodes. Therefore, some&#x...

An operation of electronic equipment is dependent on a power supply. Today, a trend of only one AC/DC adapter is used for supplying an electronic system. Thus, an electronic equipment with various power supply requirements uses some internal DC/DC converters. These DC/DC ...

A network of 15 Timepix pixel detectors was installed within the ATLAS experiment at CERN, Geneva. The network is capable of measuring the composition and spectral characteristics of the radiation fields in real-time. Its operation is managed by a dedicated software system. The pre...

We experimentally show the performance of a Virtual Infinite Capacitor (VIC) in suppressing the voltage ripple. VIC mainly uses a bi-directional DC-DC converter with only two small capacitors inside to mimic the filtering process of a large capacitor by applying suitable control algorit...

This paper presents a visual servo and fuzzy-PID controller to enable underwater robot station-keeping. Movements of underwater robots are easily disturbed by water flow or external factors in a deep-water environment. In this study, control systems are used to adjust the underwater rob...

This paper is focused on input impedance optimization of a stripline. The stripline for electromagnetic susceptibility testing represents a radiating structure which is composed of one active and one or more grounded conductors. The characteristic impedance of the stripline is given by ...

This paper is focused on optimization of electrical properties of 50 ohm stripline which was described in international standard for the automotive industry ISO 11452-5. The standard shows the dimension of the stripline but information about impedance matching is missing - and this ...
