Limitations of frequency response in backplane interconnections impede high-speed data transmission beyond Gbps. A 14-Gb/s 4-PAM adaptive analog equalizer is proposed to compensate the 40-inch backplane interconnections by using a sum-feedback filter (SFF), relaxing the design requirement of the conventional analog feed-forward equalizers (FFE). 4-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) is also adopted to increase the transmission data rate over bandwidth-limited channel. The 4-PAM adaptive equalizer has been fabricated in a 0.18-mum CMOS technology, while dissipating 121 mW from a single 1.8-V power supply.
背板互连中频率响应的限制阻碍了超过Gbps的高速数据传输。提出了一种14gb /s的4-PAM自适应模拟均衡器,利用和反馈滤波器(SFF)补偿40英寸背板互连,降低了传统模拟前馈均衡器(FFE)的设计要求。为了在带宽有限的信道中提高传输数据速率,还采用了4级脉冲幅度调制(PAM)。4-PAM自适应均衡器采用0.18 μ m CMOS技术制造,同时从单个1.8 v电源消耗121 mW。

An on-chip buck converter which is implemented by stacking chips and which is suitable for on-chip distributed power supply systems is proposed and the operation is experimentally verified for the first time. The manufactured converter achieves the maximum power efficiency of 62% for an output current of 70 mA with a switching frequency of 200 MHz with a 2times2 mm on-chip LC output filter. The active part and the passive LC output filter are implemented on separate chips fabricated in 0.35-mum CMOS and connected with metal bumps. The optimization and improvement of the power efficiency and implementation structure are also discussed.

A 6-bit 1.6 GS/s CMOS flash ADC using reversed-reference dummy method is demonstrated in a standard 0.18-μm CMOS process. The proposed method improves linearity error at the boundary of offset averaging networks. The prototype circuit exhibits an INL of +0.32/-0.28 LSB and a DNL of +0.28/-0.28 LSB. The SNDR and SFDR achieve 32 and 44 dB at 1.6 GS/s for Nyquist input frequency. The ADC consumes 350 mW at 1.8 V supply and occupies an active chip area of 0.46 mm2.

As the supply voltage is scaling down, both SNR and the circuit noise immunity are reduced. In this paper, we develop a new isolated noise-tolerant technique to prevent the dynamic circuit from the noise interference. As compared with the state of the art design, the noise immunity can be enhanced by 1.5X. For enhancing the noise-tolerance, we can save 81% power delay product (PDP) in severe low SNR environment. Moreover, the proposed circuit can achieve 81% and 39% energy saving as compared with the conventional domino circuit and twin-transistor design, respectively.

In this paper, we propose embedded programmable logic matrix (ePLX) which is suitable for flexible system on chip (SoC). The ePLX architecture is based on the dense two input look-up-table(LUT) array and the hierarchical wiring resources, which are global/local wiring resources and with simple mapping tools. The compile flow of ePLX is also the simple one with the standard design environments, basically. We have verified the advantage of this architecture by programming the function module and mapping the circuits with high usage efficiency and doubling operation speed. The physical architecture of ePLX uses the divided power supply LUT and wiring resources that consists of SRAM with CMOS transfer gate switch elements. These techniques enable to handle the 0.6V level FV controllable programmable devices for the power management SoC. The ePLX can provide the unique additional merits for many applications under the platform design environments.

This presentation starts with evolution of the optical-storage chipsets for PC multimedia towards full-blown, next-generation SOC for digital consumer applications. Design challenges are reviewed and explored from submicron to nanometer eras in multiple levels of technology developments such as market-driven software/applications, advanced system architecture and engineering to address computation and connectivity requirements, performance-demanding but power-efficient circuit and functional blocks and the growing complexity being faced by increasingly large-scale chip integration. SOC companies will need to effectively cope with all incurred engineering issues to successfully achieve their competitive and leading positions.

A bandpass ΔΣ interface IC for sacrificial bulk micromachined inertial sensors is presented. To achieve high resolution without precision analog circuits, the proposed architecture replaces the analog mixer of a chopper-stabilized readout amplifier with a 1-bit, 4th-order bandpass ΔΣ modulator and a digital decimator/demodulator. Leveraging the high over-sampling ratio of 8192 and the supporting circuit techniques, the interface IC provides a 128-Hz, 20-bit digital output with 113 dB peak SNR and 115 dB dynamic range (DR). Fabricated in 0.18 μm CMOS, the IC dissipates 56.1 mW.

We have proposed a programmable non-volatile devices Neobitreg which can be built on any process platform, such as logic, analog, mixed-mode, high voltage, RF, SiGe, BCD, etc., without adding the complications to the existing process platforms. Due to the simplicity of Neobitreg , it has facilitated many applications for better cost/performance. The programmable logic non-volatile devices have been widely used for (1) code storage, (2) high voltage device trimming, (3) analog circuit trimming, (4) power management circuit trimming, (5) security ID, (6) RFID, and (7) memory repair. In this paper, the technology and applications of the new single poly programmable logic non-volatile devices will be presented. We believed that the programmable logic non-volatile devices are very promising for many future applications due to its simplicity, non-volatility and particularly programmability.

A high-performance TCAM macro with the folded architecture for IPv6 routing address lookup is designed and presented. The implemented 0.18 mum TCAM macro uses a newly proposed folded architecture on top of the tree-style AND-type match-line and the segmented search-line techniques we proposed previously to achieve a 27% increase in area utilization efficiency and a 10% reduction in energy consumption, while maintaining the world-record search speed.
