High efficiency CMOS rectifier circuit for UHF RFID applications has been developed. The rectifier utilizes self Vth cancellation (SVC) scheme in which threshold voltage of MOSFETs is cancelled by applying gate bias voltage generated by output voltage of the rectifier itself. Very simple circuit configuration and no power dissipation feature of the scheme enable excellent power conversion efficiency (PCE) especially in small RF input power conditions. At higher RF input power conditions, PCE of the rectifier automatically decreases. This is the built-in self-power-regulation function. Proposed SVC CMOS rectifier has been fabricated with 0.35 mum CMOS process and the measured performance has been compared with other types of rectifiers. The SVC CMOS rectifier achieves 29% PCE at -9.9 dBm RF input power condition. This PCE is larger than ever reported rectifiers under the condition.
开发了用于超高频RFID应用的高效CMOS整流电路。整流器采用自v值抵消(SVC)方案,通过施加整流器自身输出电压产生的栅极偏置电压来抵消mosfet的阈值电压。该方案电路结构简单,无功耗特性,尤其在射频输入功率小的情况下具有优异的功率转换效率(PCE)。在较高的射频输入功率条件下,整流器的PCE会自动降低。这是内置的自调节功率功能。采用0.35 μ m CMOS工艺制备了SVC整流器,并与其他整流器进行了性能测试。SVC CMOS整流器在-9.9 dBm射频输入功率条件下实现29% PCE。这种PCE比以往任何报道的整流器都要大。

A fully reconfigurable gm-C biquadratic low-pass filter is presented with a bandwidth tunable over more than two orders of magnitude starting from 100 kHz up to 20 MHz able to cover all common wireless standards. Furthermore, power and performance can be traded thanks to a new switching technique inside Nauta's transconductor that allows changing its transconductance and input capacitance independently. Bandwidth, quality factor, noise level, linearity and common mode suppression arc all programmable over a very wide range. The circuit is realized in a 0.13 mum CMOS technology and consumes between 103 muA (100 kHz) and 11.85 mA (20 MHz) from a 1.2 V supply for a low integrated noise setting around 25 to 35 muVrms and an IIP3 of 10 dBVp giving an SFDR of 68 dB. Extra power can be saved when higher noise levels are allowed. Measurement results confirm flexibility, noise-power scaling and linearity behavior of the biquad architecture.

The power of 3 different power domains is managed by continuous co-locking of voltage and clock, dynamically varying clock frequency and supply voltage level from 90 MHz to 200 MHz and from 1.0 V to 1.8 V, respectively. A test 3D-graphics SoC is divided into 3 power domains and their power are managed separately. The workload of each domain is the control parameter to each power management unit (PMU). It takes 0.45 mm2 with 0.18 um CMOS process and consumes 5 mW. Total SoC takes 17.2 mm2 and consumes 52.4 mW at full operation with triple domains power management.

We discuss results of the design and operations of a CMOS image sensor with high S/N ratio while keeping wide dynamic range. Readout gains and input-referred noises of the image sensor are improved by actively using a pixel source follower feedback operation. A 1/4-inch 5.6 mum times 5.6 mum pixel VGA color CMOS image sensor with a lateral overflow integration capacitor in pixel in a 0.18 mum 2P3M CMOS process achieves about 1.7 times the gain compared with the case where the feedback operation is not positively used, resulting in a high input-referred conversion gain exceeded 200 muV/e-, a low input-referred noise below 2 e- without column amplifier and a high full well capacity of about 1.3 times 105 e-.

In this paper, we presented an SoC based HW/SW co-design architecture for multi-standard audio decoding. It is developed to support the audio standards of AAC LC profile, Dolby AC3, Ogg Vorbis, MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) and Windows Media Audio (WMA). A VLSI reconfigurable filterbank based on CORDIC algorithm is developed to accelerate the multi-standard decoding process. We designed and implemented an SoC platform to verify the interbank as an IP core. Experimental result shows that the architecture is able to perform real-time audio decoding at low frequency (typically 10.6MHz for AAC and 11.3 MHz for MP3) and the implementation cost is low (44.3k gates, 34k bytes RAM and 45k bytes data ROM for 5 audio standards). The architecture is also flexible for extending support of new formats and standards.

A single chip NFC transceiver supporting not only NFC active and passive mode but also 13.56 MHz RFID reader and tag mode was designed and fabricated. The proposed NFC transceiver can operate as a RFID tag even without external power supply thanks to a dual antenna structure for initiator and target. The area increment due to additional target antenna is negligible because the target antenna is constructed by using a shielding layer of initiator antenna.

This paper presents the VLSI design and implementation of the baseband inner receiver for IEEE 802.16-2004 (i.e. the fixed WiMAX) OFDM mode. The design consists of low power packet detection, low complexity CORDIC-based carrier frequency compensation, recursive FFT and channel compensation. In the packet detection and carrier frequency compensation, we use sign-bit method, sliding mapping correlator, and the multiplier mapping function to achieve low complexity design. In the FFT design, we use the radix-8 memory-based recursive FFT to achieve small area design. Fabricated in TSMC 0.18 mum technology, the chip occupies 2.4 x 2.4 mm2 area and consumes about 114 mW under 1.8V power supply.1

A 3-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for software defined radio applications that can work at a sampling rate of 20 GS/s is presented in this paper. In order to operate at Ku-band, two flash current mode logic (CML) ADCs are time-interleaved to achieve a 20 GHz sampling rate. A 3-bit current-steering digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is also designed for testing the high-speed ADC. The ADC-DAC RFIC is implemented in a 0.12 mum SiGe technology and occupies an area of 1.5 times 1.7 mm2. The total power consumption for the entire ADC-DAC chip is 2.36 W with a 4.2 V power supply. The ADC-DAC RFIC is packaged in a 44-pin CLLC package and achieves a peak spurious free dynamic range (SFDR) of 30.5 dBc and a peak effective number of bits (ENOB) of 2.8 bits at a 20 GS/s sampling rate.
