An investigation into the power-performance trade-off in memristor-augmented sense amplifiers for nanoscale SRAM

Musiiwa, P. B.; Rushambwa, M. C.; Gwamuri, J.; Kanhukamwe, Q. C.; Tyavlovsky, A.; Svistun, A. I. (БНТУ, 2025)

As technology ramps up to high nodes, SRAM sense amplifiers struggle suffer from increasing static power. The paper proposes memristors as non-volatile, tunable loads in cross-coupled differential sense amplifiers as a remedy. Simulation in a 45 nm node reveals 69.2 % leakage power reduction, making the solution appealing for low-power usage. The static power reduction comes at ...

The silicon shield: a synergistic, hardware-anchored architecture for next-generation cyber resilience

Musiiwa, P. B.; Rushambwa, M. C.; Gwamuri, J.; Kanhukamwe, Q. C.; Tyavlovsky, A.; Svistun, A. I. (БНТУ, 2025)

The escalating sophistication of cyber threats, which now routinely target the hardware layer, has rendered traditional software-only security models insufficient.1 This paper challenges the long-held assumption that hardware constitutes an inherently trusted foundation, a premise invalidated by the rise of physical, side-channel, and supply chain attacks. It introduces the ...

Two decades of shaping adaptive electronic engineers for sustainable intelligent technologies and digital transformation: the case of the electronic engineering department at harare institute of technology, zimbabwe

Musiiwa, P. B.; Muredzi, P.; Kanhukamwe, Q. C.; Makusha, D. T.; Rushambwa, M. C.; Chimonyo, K. B. (БНТУ, 2025)

This paper presents a longitudinal case study of the Department of Electronic Engineering at the Harare Institute of Technology (HIT), Zimbabwe, examining its evolution over two decades as a mandate-driven hub for competence-based, innovation-oriented engineering education. Since its establishment in 2005, the department has pioneered Zimbabwe’s Education 5.0 framework, embedding ...
