Reference-Ladder Free Flash Analog to Digital Converter Architecture
Document from the year 2021 in the subject Computer Science - Programming, grade: 10, Manipal University Jaipur, language: English, abstract: In this book, the primary research objective is to design a novel comparator to get rid-off reference-ladder circuit. The design of power efficient Flash ADC is investigated by utilizing a novel power optimized single-ended comparator. The proposed comparator generates inherent embedded threshold voltage. It uses the variable threshold voltage generation method for producing the reference voltage for the Flash ADC design. By employing optimized comparator, the Flash ADC achieves various benefits, as it does not require the necessity of a reference resistor ladder as well as front-end track and hold circuit. This reduces both layout area and power consumption and makes it appropriate for System-on-Chip (SoC) ADC implementation . The basic structure of the single-ended comparator is modified CMOS Inverter. The performance of modified CMOS Inverter circuit is compared with the static CMOS Inverter. To demonstrate the functionality of the new comparator, 4-bit and 6-bit Flash ADCs has been designed and simulated under the environment of Cadence and LTspice CAD tools. For both of the Flash ADCs, a comparative analysis is presented with previously published works on Flash ADCs. The secondary research objective is to propose a novel power reduction technique for high-speed Flash analog-to-digital converter, which not only reduces the power consumption in comparator but also examines the inactive comparators in the Flash ADC, thus inactive comparators get shutdown to save the unnecessary power consumption.This approach is based on two-step method of data conversion. By this method the total numbers of active comparators are reduced in comparison with the conventional Flash ADC. This feature of active comparators reduces the overall power consumption of the converter and the resultant architecture develops into power efficient Flash A

Implications of Outsourcing in IT-Management
Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Computer Science - Commercial Information Technology, grade: 2,0, University of Applied Sciences Bonn, language: English, abstract: This paper takes a closer look at aspects surrounding the importance and application of IT outsourcing and aims to provide a sound understanding of the term as well as the forms of outsourcing strategy in today's IT-based or IT-driven industries. Since outsourcing is a subject that is not necessarily only associated with advantages, a closer look at the disadvantages of outsourcing will also be taken in the course of this paper. Outsourcing has become increasingly popular as a technique to reduce costs and to access a wider range of technical expertise (in-house competencies versus outsourcing noncore competencies). Especially concerning the second example, outsourcing has become a standard method of project and labour management if a firm decides to migrate to a newer technology. In the IT industry, companies may outsource system development, system operations, help desk, systems, databases, and application administration, as well as a desktop and network support. Furthermore, businesses may use outsourcing to obtain application service provision or business process outsourcing. Considering an IT activity a commodity, there is little benefit to doing it internally. Payroll processing, for instance, is often considered a commodity IT activity. In these cases, focused vendors are likely capable of providing the service at a higher level of quality and/or at a lower cost. By taking advantage of economies of scale that other organizations have, a business that specializes in the same field can become more cost-effective. With respect to the given advantages, outsourcing of IT resources and services is proving to be an increasing trend on the global market. Companies such as cloud providers specializing in many manifestations of IT outsourcing (Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform

Accelerated Disassembly, Reconstruction and Reversing
The book contains the full transcript of Software Diagnostics Services training. Learn disassembly, execution history reconstruction and binary reversing techniques for better software diagnostics, troubleshooting and debugging on x64 Windows platforms. The course uses a unique and innovative pattern-oriented analysis approach to speed up the learning curve. The training consists of practical step-by-step hands-on exercises using WinDbg and memory dumps. Covered more than 25 ADDR patterns, and many concepts are illustrated with Memory Cell Diagrams. The prerequisites for this training are working knowledge of C and C++ programming languages. Operating system internals and assembly language concepts are explained when necessary. The primary audience for this training is software technical support and escalation engineers who analyze memory dumps from complex software environments and need to go deeper in their analysis of abnormal software structure and behavior. The course is also useful for software engineers, quality assurance and software maintenance engineers who debug software running on diverse computer environments, security researchers, malware and memory forensics analysts who have never used WinDbg for analysis of computer memory. The revised edition uses the latest WinDbg 10 version, has three exercises completely redone with Windows 10 memory dumps, improved formatting, and also includes reprinted memory analysis patterns and techniques from Memory Dump Analysis Anthology referenced in the book.
