A wireless communication system with a closed-loop power control function for bio-implantable applications is described which keeps the power dissipation of implantable unit at the allowable level for human body. The function is controlled by monitoring an excessive current at the implantable unit and limiting the power transmission at the external interrogator unit. The implantable unit with the closed-loop power control function has been fabricated in a standard 0.18 mum CMOS technology, achieved less than 530 muW with a 1.8 V and the chip core size of 0.14 mm2. The system uses inductive coupling at 13.56 MHz with internal and external coils. Experimental results confirm its stable power supply to the implantable unit over a coil distance of 0.5 to 10 mm.

In this paper, an efficient solution of MIMO FFT/IFFT processor for IEEE 802.16 WMAN is presented. By applying the proposed mixed-radix dataflow scheduling (MRDS) technique, the effective hardware utilization can be raised to 100%. Therefore, a single butterfly unit within each pipeline stage is sufficient to deal with the two data sequences, and the hardware complexity is significantly reduced. The proposed FFT/IFFT processor has been emulated on the FPGA board. The signal-to-quantization noise ratio (SQNR) is over 44 dB for QPSK and 16/64-QAM signals. Furthermore, a test chip has been designed using standard 0.18-mum CMOS technology with a core area of 887 times 842 mum2. According to the post-layout simulation results, the design consumes 46 mW at 64 MHz operating frequency, which meets the maximum throughput requirements of IEEE 802.16 WMAN.

An on-chip digital Ids measurement method is proposed in this report. In the proposed method, Ids is digitally derived from the two values measured by three ring oscillators with PN balanced, N-rich, and P-rich inverters. The first value is the frequency of the PN balanced inverter ring. The second value is the frequency difference between the N-rich and the P-rich inverter rings. The post-digital processing derives NMOS Ids (Idn) and PMOS Ids (Idp) separately. The monitor circuit was implemented by 65 nm CMOS technology. The mismatch error between the first Ids calculated from measured frequencies, and the second Ids directly measured for reference, was analyzed. The standard deviations of the mismatch error in Idn and Idp are 1.64% and 1.09%, respectively. The margin of 3sigma is within 5% which is our target tolerance for a practical application.
本文提出了一种片上数字id测量方法。在所提出的方法中，Ids由三个环振荡器的PN平衡、富n和富p逆变器测量的两个值数字导出。第一个值是PN平衡逆变器环的频率。第二个值是富n和富p逆变器环之间的频率差。后数字处理分别导出NMOS id (Idn)和PMOS id (Idp)。监控电路采用65nm CMOS技术实现。分析了由实测频率计算的第一个id与直接测量参考的第二个id之间的不匹配误差。Idn和Idp的错配误差标准差分别为1.64%和1.09%。3西格玛的误差在5%以内，这是我们实际应用的目标公差。

A transceiver for a memory controller operating at 16 Gb/s per link is implemented in 65 nm CMOS process. Timing calibration, equalization and diagnostic circuits for both memory read and write are on the controller to optimize the overall system performance and cost. A 5-tap TX FIR and a continuous time RX equalizer with active inductor loads are employed. The transceiver also includes a diagnostic circuit which can add a programmable DC differential voltage offset and produce actual eye diagrams for both write and read links. It is demonstrated that each link can operate at 16 Gb/s with a timing margin of 0.19 UI at a BER of 10-12.

A 50 Mbps, 2.24 mm2 double-binary turbo double decoder is designed and implemented in 0.13 mum CMOS process for the WiMAX standard. To reduce the large extrinsic memory needed in double-binary turbo decoding, the proposed decoder exchanges the bit-level extrinsic information values rather than the traditional symbol-level extrinsic information values, which is achieved by deriving two simple conversions. The proposed turbo decoder, with a low-complexity hardware interleaver generating interleaved addresses for two data flows simultaneously, provides an efficient stopping criterion for double-binary turbo decoding using bit-level extrinsic information as well as huge memory size reduction of 20.6%.

A 3-order multi-bit continuous-time delta-sigma ADC with clock timing calibration circuit is presented. The clock timing calibration circuit is proposed to ensure the stability of the continuous-time delta-sigma ADC and relax the bandwidth requirement of the adder for excess loop delay compensation. The ADC has been designed and fabricated in a 0.13 um CMOS process. The ADC achieves 75 dB dynamic range and 69 dB peak signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at 1 MHz signal bandwidth and 64 MHz sampling rate while dissipating 2.2 mW from 1.2 V supply.

A 76.8 GB/s 46 mW low-latency network-on-chip (NoC) provides a communication platform for a real-time object recognition processor. The tree-based topology NoC with three crossbar switches is designed for low-latency by adopting dual-channel and adaptive switching. The NoC can be dynamically configured to exploit both data-level and object-level parallelism on the object recognition processor. FLIT-level clock gating and packet-based power management scheme are employed for low power consumption. The NoC is implemented in 0.13 mum CMOS process and provides 76.8 GB/s aggregated bandwidth at 400 MHz with 2-clock cycle latency while dissipating 46 mW at 1.2 V.

A 8 GByte/s single-ended parallel transceiver is implemented in a 0.18 mum standard CMOS with a current-balanced pseudo-differential signaling for high-speed memory interface. With a segmented group-inversion coding, 16-bit data is encoded to 20 pins for dramatic reduction of simultaneous switching noise which has been a bottleneck in high-speed parallel links. The proposed pseudo-differential signaling achieves a power-efficient current-mode parallel termination with a reduction of driving current of about 40-percent. For the termination, virtual voltage sources are self-generated by tracking the center of eye opening. The transceiver shows a BER of less than 10-12 at 4 Gb/s/pin.

In this paper, a micropower interface IC for a capacitive 3-axis micro-accelerometer implemented in a 0.25-mum CMOS process is presented. The fully-integrated sensor interface consists of a DeltaSigma sensor front-end that converts the acceleration signal into the digital domain, a decimator, a frequency reference, a clock generator for the front-end, a voltage and current reference, the required reference buffers, and low-dropout regulators (LDOs) needed for system-on-chip power management. The interface IC provides operating modes for 1 and 25 Hz signal bandwidths. The chip with a 1.72 mm2 active area draws 21.2 muA in 1 Hz mode, and 97.6 muA in 25 Hz mode, from a 1.2-2.75 V supply. In 1 Hz mode with a plusmn2 -g capacitive 3-axis accelerometer, the measured noise floors in the x-, y-, and z-directions are 1080, 1165 and 930 mug/radicHz, respectively.

A wideband CMOS variable gain low noise amplifier (VGLNA) used for TV tuner is presented. A single-to-differential (S2D) circuit other than an off-chip balun is applied for high gain mode and a resistive attenuator is for five steps (6 dB per step) attenuation in low gain mode. The performance of S2D, especially the noise factor is analyzed. The chip is implemented in a 0.18-mum 1P6M mixed-signal CMOS process. Measurements show that in the 50-860 MHz frequency range, the VGLNA achieves 15 dB maximum gain, 31 dB variable gain range, a minimum 3.8 dB noise figure and 2.6 dBm 11P3 at 15 dB gain while consumes 5.7 mA from a 1.8 V supply.
