Abstract Audio sources classification is an important task for which we propose an algorithm based on content of the source. Our approach is based on three primary models that depends on music discrimination, average frame power and Hz energy modulation. We found that these models are effective in various levels. To evaluate we did testing based many musical pieces where accuracy... Read More

Abstract With the help of two integrator loop configuration the effects of OTA imperfections in the second order Gm-C filters is studied. We assume the single stage CMOS OTA in the investigations and the most important OTA imperfections in this case are their input resistance and input capacitances. We found that the several considered circuits have similar properties concerning these imperfections... Read More

Abstract In the current work, we have formulated a controlled buck convertor based on integrated Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) and Pulse-Frequency Modulation (PFM). This is developed for wearable electronic devices. The input voltage is equal to 3.6V and the average value of the output voltage is regulated to be 1.7V. The maximum efficiency h of the buck converter is 81.43%, when the... Read More
