Power Efficient Switched-Capacitor Circuit Techniques

The proposed amplifier in this technology consumes less power, takes smaller silicon area, and has lower input referred noise compared to conventional telescopic and folded-cascode amplifiers. The proposed circuits and principles can be applied to other switched-capacitor circuits, such as switched-capacitor amplifiers, filters, and A/D and D/A converters. (Read more...)

UT researcher makes skin cancer detection breakthrough

Dr. James Tunnell, an assistant professor of biomedical engineering at UT, and a group of graduate students have been working on it for three years. BusinessWeek magazine is calling it one of the top inventions of the decade. This "optical" biopsy was developed to detect or rule out skin cancer while you wait in your doctor's office.
