Abstract: Soft fault diagnosis and tolerance are two challenging problems in linear analog circuit fault diagnosis. To solve these problems, a phasor analysis based fault modeling method and its theoretical proof are presented at first. Second, to form fault feature data base, the differential voltage phasor ratio (DVPR) is decomposed into real and imaginary parts. Optimal feature selection method and testability analysis method are used to determine the optimal fault feature data base. Statistical experiments prove that the proposed fault modeling method can improve the fault diagnosis robustness. Then, Multi-class support vector machine (SVM) classifiers are used for fault diagnosis. The effectiveness of the proposed approaches is verified by both simulated and experimental results.

Abstract: Soft fault diagnosis and tolerance are two challenging problems in analog circuit fault diagnosis. This paper proposes approaches to solve these two problems. First, a complex field modeling method and its theoretical proof are presented. This fault modeling method is applicable to both hard (open or short) and soft (parametric) faults. It is also applicable to either linear or nonlinear analog circuits. Then, the parameter tolerance is taken into consideration. A frequency selection method is proposed to maximize the difference between the faults fault signature. Hence, the aliasing problem arise from tolerance can be mitigated. The effectiveness of the proposed approaches is verified by simulated results.

Abstract: The phenomenon of acupoint electrical-stimulation adaptability is common while traditional Pulse Electro-acupuncture (EA) Apparatus is used for treatment. To solve this problem, we designed an intelligent Music Electro-acupuncture (EA) Apparatus base on ARM9 and Linux. We analyzed power spectrum of music and put forward a possible screening technique for effective treatment music based on “1/f fluctuation” therapy. This system has excellent Qt user interface and touch screen. It is good for physical and psychological rehabilitation to listen to our music during treatment.

Abstract: Power consumption is becoming an increasingly important aspect of circuit design. High power consumption can lead to high machine temperature, short battery life which makes laptop electronics difficult to be widely used. IEEE 1801 Unified Power Format (UPF) is designed to express power intent for electronic systems and components .This paper first introduces the power principles, puts forward the approaches to reduce power consumption according to UPF, and then demonstrates the Synopsys design flow based on UPF, finally gives the power report and makes a conclusion.

Abstract: For implementing on-line programming of Freescale HCS12 series MCU, designing a common downloading programmer which functions include chip selection, erase and write operations. Designing a database where Freescale HCS12 MCU Flash difference parameter values ​​placed, so achieving HCS12 MCU family online programming versatility. Erase and write machine codes are provided in the RAM area of Flash memory, these codes will be run at high voltage, these codes are relocated from Flash to RAM area for improving flash operation stability during the high voltage. According to BDM communication theory, we have developed a separate BDM serial communication program, the target device only receives the user code from the programmer, programmer does not need send opcode and the address information, not waiting for a command, so, increasing the erase and write speed. the programmer has the versatility and easily using.

Abstract: This paper describes a kind of folded cascode amplifier, which not only has high gain, large output swing characteristics, and its outputs can be self-compensation, it has a strong suppression capability with voltage noise. Based on a 0.5μm CMOS process uses two operational amplifiers. Through software emulation corrected the error which was caused by theoretical calculation. Has good performance in gain, noise, swing, phase margin, common mode rejection ratio and other parameters.

Abstract: Resistors, inductors and capacitors are indispensable components in modern electronics field. While digital potentiometer is capable of conducting digital adjustments on resistances, the flexibility of adjusting the capacitance of most capacitors is still very limited even until now. This paper introduced a digital capacitor circuit based on impedance transformations. The impedance transformation circuit was set up by assembling an integrated operational amplifier and small amounts of resistors and capacitors. The capacitance of this circuit can be adjusted by controlling the resistance of a certain resistor using a digital potentiometer. Simulation results showed this circuit has many advantages including great flexibility if controlled with a single chip, wide capacitance adjustment range, insensitivity to temperature and pressure, and the size of the circuit remaining the same while the capacitance increases.

Abstract: By analyzing the input and output data of memoryless power amplifier (PA), we construct the polynomial model and study the nonlinearities characteristics of it. Based on that the mathematic model of predistorter is gained, Least-square (LS) and adaptive LMS are used respectively to solve the question. Simulation results demonstrate predistortion can effectively correct the nonlinearities and both LS and LMS work well depending on different conditions.

Abstract: In this paper, a low-cost and modularized test bench for microbolometric focal plane array is proposed. Based on the analysis of driving microbolometric focal plane array, we have set up the simple test bench. The test bench consists of four major modules: optical part, driving sequence timer, power supply and signal processing board, and data analyzer. Each module in the test bench is reconfigurable and the driving sequence timer is programmable in system. The proposed test bench is low-cost and has been applied to practical microbolometric focal plane arrays in our laboratory.
