Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A systematic method to design a switched-capacitor (SC) multi-bit DS ADC integrated circuit is presented. The modulator consists of a fourth-order, multi-stage (2-1-1) architecture, with a 3-bit fash ADC in the last stage only. The modulator building blocks specifcations were designed using a systematic top-down methodology. Trade-offs between circuit building block specifcations, optimization time and computing resources are derived. When sampled at 50 MHz, measured performance reveals an 81.3 dB dynamic range for an output Nyquist rate of 2.1 MS/s while using a single 1.8 V supply and dissipating 36 mW of power.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
