Local hysteretic diode currents depending on domain orientations have been observed in epitaxial BiFeO3 thin films. The mechanism behind the bilateral and unilateral current hysteresis as well as retention of the nanodomains has been discussed in the films with different thicknesses. Piezoelectric force microscopy investigations reveal principle of resistive property is the switchable polarization control of hysteretic diode currents other than the creation and rupture of the conductive paths in other resistive random access memories mediated by mobile charged defects. With the investigation of different leakage current models, it has been found that the space-charge limited current (SCLC) dominates the conduction.

The processors' architecture design plays an important role in high performance DSP era, where how to balance the power consumption and the computing ability is always a great concern. In this paper we propose an architecture scheme with VLIW instruction driven adaptive pipeline coupling technique for a multi-core processor design to achieve the high computing performance with a low powered capability. Combined with the loop buffering design and implementation, the scheme is evaluated with the typical DSP application and the results show that the performance is improved about 43.4% while the power consumption is reduced by 48.7% in average.

A silicon avalanche P-well/Deep N-well photodetectors is fabricated in standard 65-nm CMOS technology without any process modification. By adopting the lightly doped P-well as the P-terminal, a wider depletion region is achieved in a deeper position from the silicon surface. This photodetector achieves a -3-dB bandwidth of 1.1 GHz and a responsivity of 160 mA/W at 12.3 V with 850 nm light input. An integrated receiver using the proposed APD is able to operate at 4 Gbps.

A CMOS phase-locked loop (PLL) with low reference spur and wide tuning range implemented in 0.18μm CMOS technology is presented in this paper. The design is based on the programmable integer-N PLL structure and the center frequency is around 480MHz for CMOS Image Sensor applications. A pseudo-differential current-starved multi-band ring oscillator is proposed to widen the tuning range. Several circuit techniques are used to minimize the phase frequency detector (PFD) UP/DN timing mismatch and charge pump (CP) current glitches, which reduce the reference spur. Implemented in the 0.18μm CMOS technology, the simulation results show that the -52.6dBc reference spur and the 94.4% tuning range (covering from 30MHz to 1050MHz) can be achieved.

A novel dynamic element match (DEM) named Segmented Thermo Data Weighted Average (STDWA) for the Nyquist-rate current-steering digital to analog converter (DAC) has been presented in this paper. In this method, when the input code changes, it only increase or decrease the chosen unit current source in order to reduce the signal glitch. Compared with full random DEM technique, this approach can reach a better static performance. Meanwhile, it can eliminate signal dependent distortions to achieve good linearity at high sampling frequencies as well as other DEM implementations.

A 4-mW 8-b 600-MS/s 2-b-per-cycle (2 b/C) successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is simulated in a standard 65-nm CMOS. By adopting reference capacitive DAC, four-input comparator and the data calibration unit, the proposed ADC could achieve higher speed. As simulated at sampling rate of 600 MS/s, the proposed ADC could achieve a peak SNR of 52.7 dB and maintain ENOB higher than 7.5 bits up to 302-MHz input signal frequency. The FoM of proposed ADC is 34.5 fJ/conversion-step at a 600-MS/s sampling rate and a 1.2-V supply.

The paper presents a small area and low power equalizer for the high-loss serial backplane built in 65 nm CMOS technology. To mitigate the effects of channel loss and other impairments, a programmable continuous time linear equalizer (CTLE) and a programmable 5-tap decision feedback equalizer (DFE) are used in the receiver. In which DFE employs a loop-unrolling structure to meet timing constraints. Furthermore power and area savings are achieved by using two kinds of D-flip-flop (DFF) in proposed DFE and CMOS-style rail-to-rail clocking. The whole equalizer occupies 0.0091 mm2 and consumes 11-mW under a 1.2 V supply when equalizing 6.25 Gb/s data passed over a FR4 PCB channel with 10~28 dB of loss at Nyquist frequency.

3D video makes it possible for audience to enjoy stereo perception by means of multi-view rendering. Revealing a more realistic and vivid world that conventional 2D video can never achieve, this innovation becomes an important direction of the development of multimedia in the future, thus converting existed 2D video into 3D ones has its great significance. This paper presents a semi-auto 2D-to-3D video conversion method, which segments a video flow into key frames and non-key frames, then utilizes an interactive algorithm as well as an efficient edge detection technique to acquire depth map for a single key frame. Depth map for non-key frame is derived by motion tracking and compensation automatically. The final 3D video flow can be rendered based on the depth map calculated above.
