The purpose of this paper is to reduce the reconfiguration time of a field‐programmable gate array (FPGA).

The paper focuses on introducing a new temporal placement algorithm which uses a typical mathematical formalism to optimize the reconfiguration time.

Results show that the algorithm decreases considerably the reconfiguration time compared with famous temporal placement algorithms.

The paper proposes a new temporal placement algorithm which optimizes reconfiguration time of modules on the device. The studied evaluation cases show that the proposed algorithm provides very significant results in terms reconfiguration time of modules versus other well‐known algorithms used in the temporal placement field. The authors uses the eigenvalue of the Laplacian matrix.

This paper aims to propose a novel design of an ohmic contact single-pole double-throw (SPDT) microelectromechanical system (MEMS) microswitch for radio frequency applications.

The proposed microswitch (SPDT design) shares antenna between transmitter and receiver in a wireless sensor. An electrical voltage is used to create an electrostatic force that controls the ON/OFF states of the microswitch. First, the authors develop a mathematical model of the proposed microswitch and propose a reduced-order model of the design, based on the differential quadrature method, which fully incorporates the electrostatic force nonlinearities. The authors solve the static, transient and dynamic behavior and compare the results with finite element solutions. Then, the authors examine the dynamic solution of the switch under different actuation waveforms.

The obtained results showed a significant reduction in actuation voltage, pull-in bandwidth and switching time.

In this paper, a new design of SPDT MEMS switch is proposed, the SPDT switch needs low voltage to be actuated and it can be easily integrated with integrated circuits.
