A programmable autonomous address-control-memory architecture (PA3) which supports memory based reconfigurable microcomputer (user structured microcomputer) is proposed. The PA3 provides finite autonomous device and executes the state transition control without CPU. The PA3 can be directly accessed as memory and support logic operation circuit of counter, and PWM, etc. When the logical function is mounted on silicon using the PA3, there is no need to relocate and rewire like FPGA. Each logic function module is achieved by loading the library which include logic function and wiring information. The performance depends on the characteristic of SRAM. The Standards bus interface of PA3 also supports both memory and peripheral buses in a microcomputer. The PA3 modeling and evaluation of the basic logical operation / function modules have been simulated.

This paper is focused on the main issues of designing a SoC for a completely autonomous mm3-sized microrobot. It is described how all the electronics are included in a unique chip, the special requirements in the assembly process and how the hard constraints in power consumption are managed. Power in the robot is delivered by solar cells mounted on top and two supercapacitors which act as batteries. The maximum available energy for the SoC is 400 muW for driving the robot actuators and 1 mW for data processing. The special architecture of the SoC and power awareness are required to manage the very low available power.

A SigmaDelta phase-interpolation direct digital synthesizer (DDS) is presented. This DDS generates frequencies from 400 MHz up to 500 MHz. Phase interpolation uses dual slope integration on a single capacitor and current is provided by a digital to analog converter (DAC). The SigmaDelta enables high frequency resolution and shapes quantization noise. The DDS has been integrated on a 65-nm CMOS STMicroclectronics technology. The power consumption is about 29 mVV without buffers under 1.2 V for a 500-MHz operating frequency.

A current-mode data transceiver for mobile applications is described. This transceiver has a multi-level current transmitter with simple clock recovery and a low-input impedance receiver, and realizes low-voltage swing (about 20 mV) with 150-300 muA drive current at 625 Mbps by differential manner. The transceiver operates with a 1.5-V single power supply, and consumes 3 mV including transmitter and receiver when simultaneous data and clock transmission at 625 Mbps is achieved through a single differential I/O connecting the transmitter and receiver pair.

A referenceless, continuous-rate, fast-locking CDR with an operating range of 180 Mb/s to 3.2 Gb/s is presented. The harmonic lock property of a rotational frequency detector and the maximum run-length limit of 8B10B encoded data are utilized to detect a harmonic lock and to accelerate acquisition process. A separate VCO control scheme is introduced to stabilize the loop with a modest amount of on-chip capacitance.

This paper presents a 10 Gb/s burst-mode transimpedance amplifier (BMTIA), which has been fabricated in a 0.13 mum CMOS process. For the burst-mode receivers in passive optical networks (PONs), the preamplifier has to receive the burst-mode data packages with different amplitudes and provides a short settling time which is required for high data transmission efficiency. In this paper, a 10 Gb/s BMTIA is presented to achieve a wide dynamic range of 42.5 dB and fast settling time within Ins. It dissipates 7.2 mW excluding output buffer from a single 1.2 V supply voltage.

A capacitor-free fast-transient-response low-dropout voltage regulator (LDO) with dual-loop controlled paths is presented in this paper. This technique can make the transient response to be faster than other LDOs with traditional controlled loop. Especially, the performance of settling time of proposed LDO is excellent without off-chip capacitors. With 1.5 V power supply voltage, the output voltage is designed as 1.2V. The prototype of the LDO is fabricated with TSMC 0.35-mum DPQM CMOS processes. The active area is only 360 mum times 345 mum.
