In this paper we present a millimeter-wave CMOS amplitude-shift-keying (ASK) modulator for 60 GHz wireless communication at greater than 1 Gbps. It is designed using shunt NMOSFET switches between the signal and the ground line of a transmission line. A reduced-switch architecture is used to achieve high speed. The transmission line length between switches is adjusted to achieve high isolation with a reduced number of switches. A 60 GHz millimeter-wave ASK modulator is successfully realized by using a 6-metal 1-poly 90 nm CMOS process. The size of the chip is 0.8 mm times 0.48 mm including the pads. The core size is 0.61 mm times 0.3 mm. The isolation and maximum data rate of the modulator at 60 GHz are measured to be 26.6 dB and 8 Gbps, respectively. The product of the maximum data rate and the isolation of this modulator is 170 GHz, which is the highest value among over-Gbps ASK modulators.

A high efficiency differential CMOS rectifier circuit for UHF RFIDs was developed. The rectifier has a cross-coupled bridge configuration and is driven by a differential RF input. Differential-drive topology enables simultaneous low ON-resistance and small reverse leakage of diode-connected MOS transistors, resulting in large power conversion efficiency(PCE), especially under small RF input power conditions. The differential-drive rectifier was fabricated with 0.18-mum CMOS technology, and the measured performance was compared with those of other types of rectifiers. Dependence of the PCE on an input RF signal frequency and output loading conditions was also evaluated. 66% of PCE was achieved under conditions of 953 MHz, -12 dBm RF input and 10 KOmega DC output load. This is twice as large as that of the state-of-the-art rectifier circuit. The peak PCE increases with a decrease in operation frequency and with an increase in output load resistance.

A low-energy inductive coupling link with a low energy fault-tolerant wearable body sensor network (BSN) controller is proposed to realize intra- and cross-layer wearable network at once. The intra-layer switch adopts the hybrid routing scheme to achieve fault-tolerance, and the cross-layer inductive transceiver employs the resonance compensator with an on-chip capacitor bank and a variable hysteresis Schmitt-Trigger to compensate dynamic and static variances of an woven inductor, achieving 10 Mbps wireless transaction with the reception energy of 1.12pJ/b at 2.5 V supply in 0.25 mum 1P5M CMOS.

The trends in ecosystem and dynamics of semiconductor SoC industry in Korea are described in this paper. For the past years, the development of SoC (System on Chip) fabless industries has been phenomenal in that the total revenue of fabless companies became remarkably high and a number of major players of which the sales is about $200 million are emerging in Korea. It was mainly on the basis of multimedia SoC integration into systems like mobile phones and digital TV which have been pivotal IT growth engines in Korea. In order to sustain the continuous growth, however, SoCs need to explore the new engines to which they should be expanded, e.g., energy savings, automotives and wireless networks. The new foundry-fabless collaboration areas like high voltage analog and mixed signals/RF are presented. They strongly demand process and design collaboration, are less sensitive to market fluctuations and thereby have relatively long product lifetime and ensure continuous growth while less investment is required in comparison with logic technology.

In nanometer digital CMOS, the linearity of pipelined A/D converters (ADCs) is degraded by the low dc gains of the opamps. Gain-enhancement techniques significantly increase the analog-circuit design complexity at low power and low voltage. Therefore, even in medium-resolution applications, digital background calibration is attractive for designing power-efficient ADCs. A simple, yet accurate, digital background calibration technique, which does not require a pseudo-random (PN) calibration signal, is proposed to minimize the power dissipation in the digital calibration unit. It achieves the same convergence speed and accuracy as PN-based techniques in 2-path (split) pipelined ADCs. A 10-bit 44-MS/s pipelined ADC, fabricated in a standard 1.2-V 90-nm digital CMOS process, uses the proposed calibration technique to achieve a 58.7-dB SNDR for a 21.5-MHz input, with a figure-of-merit (FOM) of 0.4 pJ/step.
在纳米数字CMOS中,流水线A/D转换器(adc)的线性度由于运放大器的低直流增益而降低。增益增强技术显著增加了低功耗和低电压下模拟电路设计的复杂性。因此,即使在中等分辨率的应用中,数字背景校准对于设计节能adc也很有吸引力。提出了一种简单而准确的数字背景校准技术,该技术不需要伪随机(PN)校准信号,以最大限度地降低数字校准单元的功耗。它在2路(分路)流水线adc中实现了与基于pn的技术相同的收敛速度和精度。采用标准1.2 v 90 nm数字CMOS工艺制作的10位44 ms /s流水线ADC,在21.5 mhz输入下实现了58.7 db的SNDR,品质因数(FOM)为0.4 pJ/step。

This paper presents the LDPC decoder chip for (1944,972) QC-LDPC codes in IEEE 802.11n communication system. The efficient LDPC decoder chip is designed with three design techniques, including Group Comparison (GC), Dynamic Wordlength Assignment (DWA), and Data Packet Scheme (DPS). When the target BER is 10-6, the decoding performance can be improved by the coding gain of 0.48 dB and 0.63 dB with respect to (4,3) and (3,2) fixed-point NMSA, respectively. In addition, the total decoder design area can be reduced by 25% and the decoding throughput can be enhanced by 3X times with respect to conventional direct-mapping method. By using TSMC 0.13 um VLSI technology, the core area and die size are only 3.88 mm2 and 7.39 mm2, respectively. The maximum operating frequency is measured at 111.1 MHz and the power dissipation is only 76 mW.

We present a ROM based 16times16 multiplier for low power applications. The design uses sixteen 4times4 ROM based multiplier blocks followed by carry save adders and a final carry select adder (all ROM based) to obtain the 32 bit output. All ROM blocks are implemented using single transistor ROM cells and eliminating identical rows and columns for optimizing the power and performance. Measurement results in 0.18 mum CMOS process show a 40% reduction in power over the conventional carry save array multiplier when operated at its maximum frequency. The ROM based design also provides 44% less delay than the array multiplier with a minimal increase (7.7%) in power. This demonstrates the low-power operation of the ROM based multiplier also at higher frequencies.
我们提出了一种基于ROM的16倍乘法器,用于低功耗应用。该设计使用16个基于4times4 ROM的乘法器块,然后是进位保存加法器和最后的进位选择加法器(全部基于ROM)来获得32位输出。所有ROM块都使用单晶体管ROM单元实现,并消除相同的行和列,以优化功率和性能。0.18 μ m CMOS工艺的测量结果表明,当工作在其最大频率时,功率比传统的进位节省阵列乘法器降低40%。基于ROM的设计还提供比阵列乘法器少44%的延迟,功率增加最小(7.7%)。这也演示了基于ROM的乘法器在更高频率下的低功耗操作。

The design uses sixteen 4times4 ROM based multiplier blocks followed by carry save adders and a final carry select adder (all ROM based) to obtain the 32 bit output. All ROM blocks are implemented using single transistor ROM cells and eliminating identical rows and columns for optimizing the power and performance. Measurement results in 0.18 mum CMOS process show a 40% reduction in power over the conventional carry save array multiplier when operated at its maximum frequency. The ROM based design also provides 44% less delay than the array multiplier with a minimal increase (7.7%) in power. This demonstrates the low-power operation of the ROM based multiplier also at higher frequencies.","PeriodicalId":143173,"journal":{"name":"2008 IEEE Asian Solid-State Circuits Conference","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125305860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
