This paper presents hardware implementations of Taylor series. The focus will be on the exponential function but methodology is applicable any unary function. Two different architectures are investigated, one, original, straight forward and one modified structure. outcomes higher performance, lower area, power consumption for architecture compared to original.

This paper presents an approach to continuous variable design optimization of a power electronics converter. The objective the is minimize total component cost. methodology illustrated with boost factor correction front-end converter input electromagnetic interference filter. system variables are first identified. relevant responses and costs then expressed as function these variables. Finally, by using mathematical techniques, values that cost obtained, given practical constraints on responses.
