The designers of a self-clocked offset cancellation technique for comparators within a relaxation oscillator share their findings and explain why the resulting improvements in frequency drift and ...

A relaxation oscillator is an oscillator based upon the performance of a physical system’s resending to equilibrium after being disturbed. It is a dynamical system within the oscillator continuously ...

CMOS relaxation oscillators have emerged as a pivotal technology in modern integrated circuits, offering a balance between low power consumption and simplicity of design. These oscillators utilise the ...

Large networks of coupled oscillators appear in many branches of science, so that the kinds of phenomena they exhibit are not only of intrinsic interest but also of very wide importance. In 1975, ...

Scientists recently unveiled the tiniest electric motor ever built. You could stuff hundreds of them into the period at the end of this sentence. One day a similar engine might power a tiny mechanical ...

Energy harvesting is the art of extracting useful power from energy sources normally deemed too weak, too dilute, or too impractical to be usable. I have already presented an example of such a ...
