This paper presents a method to simultaneously improve the quality of the identifiers, secret
keys, and random numbers that can be generated from the start-up values of standard static …

This paper presents a new form of piecewise-affine (PWA) solution, referred to as PWA
hierarchical (PWAH), to approximate the explicit model predictive control (MPC) law …

A binary-tree-based finite state machine (BT-FSM) is a state machine with a 1-bit input signal
whose state transition graph is a binary tree. BT-FSMs are useful in those application areas …

This brief is concerned with the problem of mitigating the “curse of dimensionality” in the
piecewise-affine simplicial approximation of multivariate model predictive control (MPC) …

This paper presents a small, fast, low-power consumption solution for piecewise-affine
(PWA) controllers. To achieve this goal, a digital architecture for very-large-scale integration …

The analysis of complex nonlinear systems is often carried out using simpler piecewise
linear representations of them. A principled and practical technique is proposed to linearize …

This paper presents a fully digital architecture and its application specific integrated circuit
implementation for computing multi‐input multi‐output (MIMO) piecewise‐affine (PWA) …

Two configurable and programmable ASICs that implement piecewise-affine (PWA)
functions have been designed in TSMC 90-nm technology in response to industry demands …

In this paper a novel method for hardware-based realization of two-variable numeric
functions is introduced. The main idea is based on the extension of the well-known …

This paper presents a methodology to perform automatic and systematic characterization
test on application specific integrated circuits (ASICs). The proposed methodology is based …
