The challenge in RF ESD protection circuit design, still a problem in definition, is to address the complex interactions between the ESD protection network and the circuit being protected in both directions. This paper discusses related key factors, e.g., switching and accidental triggering of ESD protection networks, as well as ESD-induced parasitic capacitive, resistive, noise coupling and self-generated noise effects. Evaluation techniques include S-parameter, Q-factor and overall specification examination. Low-parasitic compact structures are the solutions to RF ESD protection.

In this paper, closed-form expressions of delay and power dissipation based on the effective lumped element resistance and capacitance approximation of distributed RC lines are presented. A new closed-form solution of delay under step input excitation is developed, exhibiting an accuracy that is within 5% for a wide range of parameters. The usefulness of this solution is that both resistive and capacitive load termination is accurately modeled for use in current mode signaling. A new power dissipation model for current-mode signaling is developed to understand the design tradeoffs between current and voltage sensing. Based on these formulations, a comparison between voltage-mode repeater insertion technique and current-mode signaling over long global deep submicron interconnects is presented.

This paper presents the design and evaluation of a sequential access memory (SAM) that provides low power and high performance by replacing address decoders with special locally-communicating sequencers. A test chip containing one 16/spl times/16-b SAM and one 64/spl times/16-b SAM (consisting of four 16/spl times/16-b banks) has been designed, fabricated, and evaluated using a 0.25-/spl mu/m CMOS process. With a clock frequency of 40 MHz at 1.2 V, the measured worst-case read power dissipations for the 16/spl times/16-b SAM and the 64/spl times/16-b SAM are 344 /spl mu/W and 358 /spl mu/W respectively, demonstrating power dissipation that is largely independent of SAM size.

A 500-dpi cellular-logic processing array performs all fingerprint identification steps on one chip, from image acquisition, enhancement, to verification. Morphological functions for executing these steps are implemented in a 30/spl times/50-/spl mu/m/sup 2/ processing unit. A single-cycle datapath and a shared logic structure enable compact implementation of the processing unit. A fabricated 224/spl times/256-pixel fingerprint identification LSI demonstrates fully-functional image processing and practical accuracy of identification.

In this paper, a wide range delay-locked loop (DLL) with a fixed latency of one clock cycle is proposed. Using the phase selection circuit and the start-controlled circuit enlarges the operating frequency range of this DLL and eliminates the harmonic locking problems. The operating frequency range of the DLL can be from 1/T/sub Dmin/ to 1/(N/spl times/T/sub Dmax/), where T/sub Dmin/ and T/sub Dmax/ are the minimum and maximum delay of a delay cell, respectively, and N is the number of delay cells used in the delay line theoretically. Fabricated in a 0.35 /spl mu/m 1P3M standard CMOS process, the DLL occupies an active area of 880 /spl mu/m/spl times/515 /spl mu/m and consumes a maximum power of 132 mW at 130 MHz. The measurement results show that the operating frequency range is from 6 MHz to 130 MHz and the latency is just one clock cycle. From the entire operating frequency range, the maximum r.m.s. jitter would not exceed 25 ps.

This paper describes the architecture of integrated circuits for base-band processing in 3rd Generation (3G) mobile wireless systems. Wideband CDMA receiver functions including the RAKE, rate de/matching, channel de/interleaving, channel de/coding and multi-user detection are described. Silicon implementations of a 3GPP channel decoder and also a multi-user base-band signal processor are presented. The high speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) system providing downlink data rates in excess of 10 Mbps and the 20 Mbps multiple input/multiple output (MIMO) extensions are also described. The architecture of a 21.6 Mbps MIMO HSDPA receiver for mobile terminals with 2 or 4 antennas is shown that uses the V-BLAST MIMO detection algorithm.

A two-step ADC with interleaved fine conversion achieves 9.1 effective bits with a sampling frequency of 160 MHz. The effective resolution exceeds 8.5 bits for signal frequencies up to 66 MHz. The 10 bit converter with on-chip driver and reference measures only 1 mm/sup 2/ in a standard 0.18 /spl mu/m CMOS process and consumes 190 mW from a single 1.8 V supply. The fully embedded design is targeted at SoC-integration.

Measurements, simulations and equations show that differential and single-ended ring oscillators have comparable performance when subjected to the same deterministic noise sources. Both topologies are shown to have a much greater sensitivity to supply noise than substrate noise. It is also shown that symmetrical/asymmetrical noise injection must be considered. The measured results are compared to predictive jitter equations and Spectre/spl reg/ time domain simulations. It is shown that the measurements are in agreement with the simulations and equations.
