The paper presents a reconfigurable Delta-Sigma Modulator (ΔΣM) suitable for three operation modes, whose application ranges from bio-potential signal monitoring to hearing aids. A feed-forward 2nd-order SC ΔΣM architecture with 4-bit quantizer is selected according to an analytic power optimization procedure. The ΔΣM features programmable sampling capacitors in the first integrator and novel reconfigurable power-gated OTAs to adjust power consumption in each operation mode. An asynchronous embedded SAR converter implements low-power quantization and passive addition in the feed-forward topology. The prototype is implemented in a 0.18μm CMOS technology and operates from a supply voltage of 1V. Measurements show peak SNDRs from 99 to 75dB for signal bandwidths spanning from 256Hz to 16kHz, achieving figures of merit which are almost constant in the different modes, and range from 0.20 to 0.27pJ/c.s.

This paper presents a 2.4GHz current-mode RF direct-conversion receiver implemented in a 90nm CMOS process with a novel adaptive notch filter. The notch filter uses the blocker frequency to up-convert a DC null to the pass-band, attenuating the blocker before entering the receiver. A synthesized inductor on the order of μH realizes the DC null. Blocker attenuation as large as 20dB is observed at a 40MHz offset frequency while the in-band attenuation increases by only 2dB. This proves that this technique is effective in attenuating blockers in broadband multi-standard radios without using any high-Q mechanical filters at their front-ends.
本文提出了一种采用新颖的自适应陷波滤波器实现的2.4GHz电流型射频直接转换接收机。陷波滤波器使用阻断器频率将直流零向上转换为通带,在进入接收器之前衰减阻断器。一个μH级的合成电感实现了直流零。在40MHz偏移频率下观察到20dB的阻滞器衰减,而带内衰减仅增加2dB。这证明了该技术可以有效地衰减宽带多标准无线电中的阻滞器,而无需在其前端使用任何高q机械滤波器。

This paper presents the implementation and measurement results of a power amplifier with passive load modulation targeting Femtocell base station applications and integrated in SOI CMOS 130nm process. The proposed structure combines a SOI LDMOS power stage with a SOI CMOS Tunable Matching Network (TMN) based on high voltage switched capacitors in order to improve PA efficiency at back-off power. At 2.14GHz, the PA achieves 31.5dBm of measured peak power under 4V supply and compared to a conventional PA with fixed output matching network, the measured efficiency improvement is 60 % at 8.5 dB back-off.

In-situ performance monitoring offers significantly better voltage scaling potential than classic ring-oscillator based approaches as it eliminates the uncertainty due to local random variations. The major challenge of such an approach is the timely generation of signaling events to control the voltage level at the most energy efficient point still offering reliable operation. In this paper we present a novel threshold based notification scheme together with a detailed analysis of corner cases. The presented measurement results are based on an implementation in a digital signal processor in a 40nm low-power technology achieving an effective voltage margin as low as 5mV.

This paper presents a high density pressure measurement ribbon used to characterize air-flow on a shape. The system is made of 128 15-bits pressure sensors thermally compensated by 10 bits temperature sensors. The MEMS pressure sensor capacitance variations are converted into digital thanks to a second order switched capacitors sigma-delta converter. An innovative serial-bit sliding window FIR filter allows asynchronous data transfer on the 8MHz SPI like bus with limited time response (<;1ms) and low frequency modulator (333kHz). The temperature to digital conversion is carried out by a passive sigma-delta modulator, reaching low area and low power consumption. The global system noise is limited to 24 Pa in a range of [20kPa/95kPa] and [-30°C/+60°C].

This paper presents an energy-efficient injection-locking based UWB transmitter for RFID tags in a 0.18 μm CMOS technology. The transmitter is powered by 900 MHz UHF signals radiated by a reader wirelessly, and responds UWB pulses by locking-gating-amplifying the sub-harmonic of the UHF signal. A simple harmonic injection-locking ring oscillator (ILRO) is utilized to generate a 450 MHz carrier for sub-GHz UWB, eliminating power-hungry and complex timing components such as PLL and crystal on tags. The measurement results show that the sensitivity of the ILRO is -15 dBm under 21% locking range without any extra amplifier. Thanks to fast setup time of the ILRO, the proposed transmitter is power-scalable with 35 pJ/pulse energy consumption by duty-cycling. The amplitude of the transmitted UWB pulse is 0.75 Vpp, allowing a pulse rate up to 5 MHz under the FCC regulations. The entire power consumption of the transmitter is 175 μW, which is favorable to wirelessly-powered RFID applications.
本文提出了一种基于注入锁定的高效超宽带RFID标签发射器,采用0.18 μm CMOS技术。发射机由阅读器无线辐射的900兆赫特高频信号供电,并通过锁闸放大特高频信号的次谐波来响应超宽带脉冲。一个简单的谐波注入锁定环振荡器(ILRO)被用来为sub-GHz UWB产生450 MHz载波,消除了耗电和复杂的定时组件,如锁相环和晶体标签。测量结果表明,在不增加放大器的情况下,在21%的锁定范围内,ILRO的灵敏度为-15 dBm。由于ILRO的快速设置时间,所提出的发射机具有功率可扩展性,通过占空比可实现35 pJ/脉冲能量消耗。传输的UWB脉冲的振幅为0.75 Vpp,允许在FCC规定下的脉冲速率高达5 MHz。发射器的总功耗为175 μW,这有利于无线供电的RFID应用。

A fully differential continuous-time comparator, that consists of a preamplifier-latch cascade, achieves propagation delays of 99 ps for a 50mVpp and 74 ps for a 100mVpp input signal amplitude under 1.1V supply and 1.2mW power consumption. The comparator is completely self-biased thus reducing influence of PVT variations and eliminating the need for a voltage reference. Dynamic delay-power management is supported through digital programmability of the self-biasing and supply voltage scaling. The design occupies 0.0007mm2 in 40 nm LP CMOS process.

Why design reliable chips when faulty ones are even better 既然有缺陷的芯片更好,为什么还要设计可靠的芯片呢

Moore's law, the driving force behind the computing technology revolution is widely expected to face limiting, if not disruptive, hurdles within the next 5 years or so, owing in part to its inability to cope with the errors arising from device variations and perturbations as well as the accompanying increased power density in deep nanoscale CMOS regime. To overcome these twin hurdles and in a sharp contrast to that of conventional research based on von Neumann's legacy of designing reliable hardware from unreliable components, we adopt a radically different philosophy of designing unreliable hardware from reliable or unreliable components, wherein we take advantage of the inherent- or induced- errors in the circuits to achieve significant cost (in terms of size, energy, design, performance, manufacturing and verification) savings. Our approach not only is sensitive to the value of information, thereby producing good enough designs of lesser cost but also opens an entirely new design space where perceptual- and statistical-limitations (and hence, the desired quality) is a dimension that can be traded off.
人们普遍预计,计算技术革命背后的驱动力摩尔定律在未来5年左右将面临限制,如果不是破坏性的障碍,部分原因是它无法应对由器件变化和扰动引起的误差,以及伴随而来的深度纳米级CMOS功率密度的增加。为了克服这些双重障碍,并与基于冯·诺伊曼从不可靠的组件设计可靠硬件的传统研究形成鲜明对比,我们采用了一种完全不同的理念,从可靠或不可靠的组件设计不可靠的硬件,其中我们利用电路中固有的或诱发的错误来实现显著的成本节约(在尺寸,能源,设计,性能,制造和验证方面)。我们的方法不仅对信息的价值敏感,从而以更低的成本生产足够好的设计,而且还开辟了一个全新的设计空间,在这个空间中,感知和统计限制(因此,期望的质量)是一个可以权衡的维度。

To overcome these twin hurdles and in a sharp contrast to that of conventional research based on von Neumann's legacy of designing reliable hardware from unreliable components, we adopt a radically different philosophy of designing unreliable hardware from reliable or unreliable components, wherein we take advantage of the inherent- or induced- errors in the circuits to achieve significant cost (in terms of size, energy, design, performance, manufacturing and verification) savings. Our approach not only is sensitive to the value of information, thereby producing good enough designs of lesser cost but also opens an entirely new design space where perceptual- and statistical-limitations (and hence, the desired quality) is a dimension that can be traded off.","PeriodicalId":183620,"journal":{"name":"2013 Proceedings of the ESSCIRC (ESSCIRC)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127815507","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}

This paper presents a wide-locking-range, low-power, Injection-Locked Frequency Divider (ILFD) using even-harmonic-enhanced direct injection technique which can operate with a high division ratio of 4 and 6. The proposed ILFD has been fabricated in a 65nm CMOS process with a core area of 0.002mm2. The proposed ILFD achieves the widest measured locking range reported of 4.3 GHz (13.2%) for a divide-by-6 operation with a power consumption of only 3.1mW without any tuning mechanism. Moreover, it also achieves 5.7GHz (28.5%) for divide-by-4 operation while consuming only 3.1mW. Combining its multi-division and tuning capability, the dividing capability ranges from 14.0-38.0GHz while consuming 2.8 to 5.4mW.
本文提出了一种采用均匀谐波增强直接注入技术的宽锁定范围、低功率注入锁定分频器(ILFD),该分频器可以在4和6的高分频比下工作。该ILFD采用65nm CMOS工艺制造,核心面积为0.002mm2。所提出的ILFD在没有任何调谐机制的情况下,实现了4.3 GHz(13.2%)的最大测量锁定范围,功耗仅为3.1mW。此外,它还可以在仅消耗3.1mW的情况下实现5.7GHz(28.5%)的除以4操作。结合其多分频和调谐能力,分频能力范围为14.0-38.0GHz,功耗为2.8 - 5.4mW。
