In this paper a simple private communications system is proposed based on Chua's chaotic system. The system mainly consists of two synchronized chaotic circuits, the system encodes values to a message function according to the state of synchronization between the two circuits. Numerical simulations were carried out to prove the validity of the system, and spice simulations were carried out on the proposed physical system. © 2019 IEEE.

This work presents a novel fractional H8 robust indirect adaptive fuzzy logic control strategy based on the variable structure control theory design (FRAFC-VSC) to synchronize two fractional-order chaotic systems. The contribution of this work is the use of an adaptive fractional order PI-regulator and a saturation function to eliminate the chattering phenomena in the control and surface signals. Stability analysis is performed for the proposed method with an acceptable synchronization error level based on Lyapunov stability criterion. The synchronization of two different fractional order

This paper addresses the problem of generalized synchronization (GS) between fractional order chaotic systems. In this paper, we propose a new control strategy for a complex generalized synchronization (GS) scheme dedicated to non-identical fractional-order chaotic systems characterized by different dimensions. The proposed control parameters are nonlinear in nature. In order to ensure that the proposed scheme converge towards zero, we establish the asymptotic stability of the zero solution to the error system by means of the stability of linear fractional-order systems. In order to assess the

A hybrid Time to Digital Converter (TDC) - Bang Bang (BB) All Digital Phase Locked Loop (ADPLL) architecture is proposed to optimize power, area, lock time, and design complexity. The Hybrid ADPLL architecture utilizes a low resolution two synthesizable Time to Digital Converters to achieve fast lock time, and then switches to a Bang-Bang like architecture once it is in the locked state. Such hybrid architecture enables the ADPLL to achieve lock time in less than 1 μ sec using an adaptive proportional derivative digital loop filter while consuming a power of 5.1 mW when locked at 4GHz with 1

In this paper, a fast control scheme is presented for the problem of Q-S synchronization between fractional chaotic systems with different dimensions and orders. Using robust control law and Laplace transform, a synchronization approach is designed to achieve Q-S synchronization between n-D and m-D fractional-order chaotic systems in arbitrary dimension d. This paper provides further contribution to the topic of Q-S synchronization between fractional-order systems with different dimensions and introduces a general control scheme that can be applied to wide classes of fractional chaotic and

In this paper, a new type of chaos synchronisation between different dimensional chaotic systems is proposed. The novel scheme is called F-M synchronisation, since it combines the inverse generalised synchronisation with the matrix projective synchronisation. In particular, the proposed approach enables F-M synchronisation to be achieved between n-dimensional master system and m-dimensional slave system in different dimensions. The technique, which exploits nonlinear controllers, stability property of integer-order linear continuous-time dynamical systems and Lyapunov stability theory, proves

Power supply noise has become a major challenge for proper operation of circuits with continuous scaling of CMOS technology along with supply voltage scaling. Conventional passive decoupling capacitors exhibit significant die area penalty resulting in a limited regulation effect. This paper presents a fully integrated charge-sharing-based active decap scheme for power supply noise suppression. The proposed idea is based on allocating a portion of the available passive decap to be used as an active decap that is charged up to a higher voltage and shares its boosted charge with the noisy rail

This article presents performance evaluation and comparison between Voltage Oriented Control (VOC) methods for PWM-rectifiers, two levels and three levels, in order to demonstrate the great advantages of using a three-level Neutral Point Clamped (NPC). The control of the DC bus voltage is carried out using the PI controller. The effectiveness of this approach is illustrated by simulation results using MATLAB/Simulink. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019.

Last decade witnessed a growth on developing of IoT architecture models to cope with various challenges and domains requirements. This leads to rapid increasing the number of the connected devices, which means large amount of data are needed to be stored and processed. Form this context, Cloud Computing is emerged as a solution to enable centrally unlimited storage of data and programs with the ability to access anytime from anywhere. The integration between IoT and cloud brings the concept of Cloud of Things (CoT) to support different types of data and multiple services with data ubiquity

Meta-heuristic optimization algorithms are the new gate in solving most of the complicated nonlinear systems. So, improving their robustness, reliability, and convergence speed is the main target to meet the requirements of various optimization problems. In the current work, three different fractional-order chaos maps (FC-maps), which have been introduced recently, are incorporated with the fundamental flower pollination algorithm to tune its parameters adaptively. These maps are fractional logistic map, fractional sine map, fractional tent map, and their integer-order versions. As a result
