A fully differential sample and hold module has been designed for the front-end of a pipeline ADC using 0.35 mum 2P4M CMOS technology with a power supply of 3.3 V. The key design issues include optimization of speed and accuracy. To meet the requirements, a differential flip-around capacitor topology has been used with special care taken in linearization of switches. Gain-boosted OTA with high DC gain and larger bandwidth is designed and optimized. The output of the module can attain over 77dB SFDR, which is suitable for serving as a front-end in a 12bit 100MS/s pipeline ADC.

A compact microstrip bandpass filter with harmonic suppression is presented in this letter. The filter is composed of two tri-section stepped impedance resonators cascaded and two end-open L-shaped microstrip lines for the input and output feed lines. The harmonic suppression of the bandpass filter may be realized by choosing proper lengths for the L-shaped microstrip lines and proper impedance ratios of the stepped impedance resonator. The filter has been investigated numerically. Simulation results show that the second-order harmonic response is effectively suppressed, and the rejection level is kept below -19 dB.

A 264 MHz 6th order Gm-C Chebyshev low-pass filter based on the leapfrog structure for direct conversion UWB receiver is presented. The universal design flow and the topology of this filter are also analyzed. Tuning capacitors digitally and tuning the common-mode reference voltage continuously can calibrate the cutoff frequency to overcome the process variation and temperature dependencies. Simulated results show that the cutoff frequency can adjust from 200 MHz to 320 MHz. The attenuation at 660 MHz and 1.3 GHz are 46 dB and 75 dB respectively, and the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the filter is -39.7 dBc for 200 mVpp differential input signal at 200 MHz. The power dissipation is 11.8 mW under 1.5 V power supply.

The NoC (network-on-chip) paradigm is commonly considered as an aggressive long-term approach for on-chip communication. Interconnection networks of regular topologies can be designed as IP cores to reduce the well known design-productivity gap. Therefore, regular topologies are more preferred than irregular topologies. To solve the scalability problem of the NoC designs with homogeneous regular topologies, we propose a new NoC design methodology that uses heterogeneous regular topologies. We illustrate the proposed heterogeneous design methodology with a simple configurable regular interconnect topology set, which consists of three subtopologies with different network performances and silicon overheads. Evaluation of the three subtopologies reveals that subtopologies with more connections result in better network performance and more wire complexity. The contribution of the proposed heterogeneous design methodology is that it provides a flexible way to scale the interconnection networks of regular topologies according to the traffic requirements.

Power gating is effective for reducing leakage power. Previously, a distributed sleep transistors network (DSTN) was proposed to reduce the sleep transistor area by connecting all the virtual ground lines together to minimize the maximum instantaneous current (MIC) through sleep transistors. In this paper, we propose methodologies for determining the size of sleep transistors of the DSTN structure considering charge-balancing effect. We also introduce a new relationship among MIC, IR drops and sleep transistor networks from a temporal viewpoint and improve the sizing results. Our methods achieve significant better results than previous works.

A high precision bandgap reference is presented. An exponential curvature compensation technique, which exploits the Ic-Vbe temperature characteristic of BJTs, is used to reduce the temperature coefficient (TC). A pre-regulator circuit is adopted to enhance the PSRR (power supply rejection ratio) performance. The bandgap uses the current mode approach to generate a reference voltage around 500 mV. With the conventional first-order compensation, the temperature coefficient is 14.6 ppm/degC over the range from -40degC to 85degC. Due to curvature compensation, an improved temperature drift of 7.04 ppm/degC is obtained. The PSRR of the reference voltage achieves 120 dB at low frequency.

A well known problem of time-interleaved analog-to-digital converters is the matching between the channels of the converter. The random mismatch of components between the channels affects the accuracy of the converter especially for high-resolution converters. In this paper, a digital self-calibration is proposed based on least mean square (LMS) algorithm for canceling the offset and gain mismatches. And a global sampling clock using feed-forward compensates for the bottom-plate sampling skew. Simulations on the four-channel time-interleaved pipelined ADC shows that after calibration, the converter could attain 10-bit accuracy successfully.
