Motion Estimation (ME) is the most power consuming module in the video encoder due to its high computational complex operations. So designing an efficient ME hardware without losing coding performance ...

A symmetric charge division (SCD) circuit using diodes was designed and fabricated to reduce the 144 outputs of the detector block to 24. A resistive encoder circuit was developed to further reduce 24 ...

The chase for high yield designs can effectively reduce chip manufacturing costs, making yield optimization a crucial problem in the IC community. However, the timeconsuming Monte Carlo simulations ...
