This article presents a bandwidth-adaptive pipelined successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with cascoded floating inverter amplifier (FIA). The proposed embeds high-gain three-stage FIA in the closed-loop operation, realizing an accurate interstage gain. It features dynamically scaled bandwidth, thereby offering fast settling, good stability, high energy efficiency, and low noise simultaneously. Its fully dynamic operation enables bandwidth event rate...
Next-generation wireless standards (e.g., WiFi-7) advancing towards wider bandwidth and higher order modulation require ADCs with GHz sampling rates over 12b resolution.

Activating the STING pathway in cytosol of tumor-infiltrating antigen-presenting cells (APCs) represents a promising strategy to elicit potent antitumor immune responses for cancer therapy. However, agonists are mostly small hydrophilic molecules that suffer from rapid clearance and poor cytosolic delivery following systemic administration. While various nanoparticles have been developed promote delivery, they often exhibit premature drug release during circulation. Alternatively, stable...

Many loT applications require high-resolution delta-sigma modulator (DSM) ADCs with good power efficiency. To meet this demand, one current technical trend involves employing a continuous-time (CT) topology as opposed to switched-capacitor since the CT offers easy-driven and anti-aliasing features. Nevertheless, kHz-level-BW DSM often requires MΩ-range high-R resistors [1]–[3]. Using normal poly implement consumes large silicon area introduces distributed-parameter parasitic capacitance. It...
For virus classification and tracing, one idea is to generate minimal models from the gene sequences of each group for comparative analysis within between classes, as well tracing new sequences. The starting point defining a model find their longest common sequence (LCS), but this non-deterministic polynomial-time hard (NP-hard) problem. Therefore, we applied some heuristic approaches finding LCS, newer methods treating sequences, including multiple alignment (MSA) k-mer natural vector (NV)...
