Trade-offs Between Delay and Energy in 4-Bit Absolute Value Detector and its application analysis

Abstract

With the rapid advancements in digital signal processing and communication technology, the utilization of digital detectors has become prevalent across numerous domains. Among these detectors, absolute value detectors hold particular significance. This article primarily delves into the delicate balance between latency and energy consumption within the realm of 4-bit absolute value detectors. To commence, we provide an exhaustive exposition of the fundamental design and operational principles underpinning absolute value detectors. Subsequently, we embark on a comprehensive comparison of various optimization approaches, with a special focus on their efficacy concerning energy consumption and latency. The research endeavors have unveiled that the detector's optimal aspect ratio, as well as the choice of novel materials like graphene and silicon germanium, can wield a substantial influence over its performance. As its peer into the horizon, it is evident that the continuous evolution of new materials and cutting-edge technologies promises further enhancements in the performance of 4-bit absolute value detectors.
