This paper describes measurement results of on-chip IR-drop. An IR-drop measurement circuit is implemented in an LSI. It can sense the voltage drop of a power node to alter a reference voltage and clock timing. A measured waveform can be obtained automatically by using the Shmoo plot functionality of an LSI tester. Measuring two different nodes along a VDD line, differential IR-drop waveforms can be successfully obtained.

This paper presents a compact model considering the high-frequency and noise effects at the gate of MOS transistors which are caused by the channel resistance in series to the gate capacitance. The real part of input impedance, nonquasistatic charge variations and induced gate noise with correlation to the drain noise are the results. A model equation of the induced gate noise is developed for MOSFETs with very short channel lengths. Comparisons with measurements verify the accuracy of the model and its validity for short and long channel transistors.

A quadrature direct digital down converter (DDD) is presented. The converter has a continuous time /spl Delta//spl Sigma/ noise shaping loopfilter with a quadrature bandpass characteristic. Through the integration of mixers in the AD converter, RF input signals in the range 0.3-1.6 GHz can be downconverted to a digital I and Q output stream at a bit rate of 128 MHz. The circuit is designed as a front-end for low power receivers with a 2 MHz wide IF bandwidth centered around 4 MHz. The converter, integrated in a 0.25 /spl mu/m CMOS technology, consumes 14 mW from a 2 V supply.

A synthesizer in 0.6 /spl mu/m CMOS with an on-chip multiphase VCO exhibits no spurs resulting from interpolated phase errors. The proposed architecture randomizes phase errors of the multi-phase VCO to eliminate spurious tones generated by phase mismatch. Phase noise measured at 1.715 GHz is lower than -80 dBc within 20 kHz loop bandwidth and -118 dBc at 1 MHz offset with fractional spur below -70 dBc. The chip consumes 140 mW at 3.3 V and occupies 3.7 mm/spl times/4.6 mm.

CMOS technology scaling is becoming difficult beyond 70 nm node, raising new design challenges for high-performance and low-power microprocessors. This paper discusses some of the key paradigm shifts required. Circuit techniques to combat (i) increasing switching and leakage power dissipation, (ii) poor leakage tolerance of large-signal cache arrays and register files, and (iii) worsening global on-chip interconnect scaling trend, are described.

A 8-bit 200MS/s 4-2 interpolating A/D converter is presented. A novel input stage was developed to enhance the dynamic performance. Static performance is enhanced using the averaging technique. The chip has been fabricated in a standard 0.35 /spl mu/m CMOS process. An INL/DNL of 0.95/0.8 LSB was measured. An SNR figure of 44.3 dB was achieved at low frequencies: for a 30 MHz input signal an SNR figure of 43 dB was measured.
