      This paper introduces a new actuation scheme for implementing Pulsed Digital Oscillators (PDOs) for electrostatic MEMS resonators. In this scheme, the capacitance of the device is biased with a voltage and it is periodically ...
    • Understanding complexity in multiphysics systems-on-a-chip: modern approaches for design 

      Blokhina, Elena; O'Connell, D.; Andrade Miceli, Dennis; Gorreta Mariné, Sergio; Pons Nin, Joan; Domínguez Pumar, Manuel; Feely, Orla; Galayko, Dimitri (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2015)
