A reistorless current reference source, e.g. for fast communication interfaces, has been described. Addition of currents with opposite temperature coefficient (PTC and NTC) and body effect have been used to temperature compensation. Cascode structures have been used to improve the power supply rejection ratio. The reference current source has been designed in a GLOBALFOUNDRIES 65 nm technology. The presented circuit achieves 55 ppm/°C temperature coefficient over range of −40 °C to 125 °C. Reference current susceptibility to process parameters variation is ±3 %. The power supply rejection ratio without any filtering capacitor at 100 Hz and 10 MHz is lower than −127 dB and −103 dB, respectively.

Multiobjective optimization taking area, power consumption and robustness into account was used to pick two implementations of the minority-3 function as building blocks to implement Muller C-elements. According to our simulations, the generally better among the two implementations was a 12 transistor implementation based on a 10 transistor minority-3 gate, when compared to a 24 transistor implementation based on 2-input nand, 2-input nor and invert functions. For room temperature and a supply voltage of 150mV, the simulated delays for the 12T and 24T implementations were 16.2 µs and 18.5 µs, respectively. The mean static power consumption figures were for the same conditions 2.6pW and 7.4pW, for the 12T and 24T implementations respectively. Switching energy was also simulated for a 150mV supply voltage. The switching energy for the 12T version of the Muller C-element was almost 44% lower compared to the 24T implementation. We also report delay, power and energy for a supply voltage of 300mV.

In silicon bulk CMOS technology the variability of the device parameters is a key drawback that may be a limiting factor for further miniaturizing nodes. New nanoscale beyond-CMOS devices are being studied such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The goal of this paper is to evaluate the parameter variability in Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistors (CNFETs) and its potential capability to be a promising alternative to Si-CMOS technology. The impact of the carbon nanotube diameter variations as well as the presence of metallic carbon nanotubes in the transistor are analyzed (device level). This variability model is used to make a comparison between Si-MOSFET and CNFET Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) 6T cells (circuit level).

This paper presents an architecture of a hardware network packet generator designed for the COMBOv2 cards using the NetCOPE development platform. The packet generator internal structure allows synthetic IPv4 and IPv6 network packet creation as well as the real network packet transmission. Based on COMBOv2 add-on interface card, the generator is able to transmit packets at speed of 2×10 Gbit/s or 4×1 Gbit/s. Synthetic data are created using high quality pseudo-random number generator. If desired, previously captured network packets can be transmitted back to the network with exactly the same time drift as were captured. This is accomplished by extremely precise timestamps, which can be generated by the Timestamp Module included in the NetCOPE platform.

The developed algorithms are based on the symmetric diagnostics model at system level. Effectiveness and complexity of the implemented algorithms were evaluated by experiments over several regular computing architectures (hypercube, torus, 2-dimensional grid).

An assessment on analog circuit reliability for an advanced 32nm high-κ metal gate technology is given from the analog designer's point of view. Selected analog circuit blocks are investigated with respect to device stress states. A custom test structure, designed to reveal analog related device characteristics including relaxation effects, was used to perform stress measurements. In addition to common aging in inversion mode, degradation in accumulation mode is determined. Experiments reveal that relaxation shows a large variety in drift behavior, and degradation induced variations - even for analog size devices - can reach significant values. Both topics are main issues for analog circuits design. Thereupon a general approach to consider device aging for analog circuit reliability is proposed.

This paper presents the implementation of the error recovery scheme from temporary faults, applicable for datapaths of coarse-grained reconfigurable architectures. We have chosen the DART architecture as a vehicle to study various aspects related to implementation of the instruction retry in a complex highly parallel reconfigurable system. Synthesis results have confirmed the time, hardware, and power consumption efficiency of the proposed approach, which can be applied independently on the concurrent error detection scheme actually used.

In this paper, we present a low cost Forward Transform and Quantization (FTQ) implementation for H.264/AVC encoders in mobile applications. To reduce the hardware implementation overhead, the proposed design uses only one unified architecture of 1-D transform engine to perform all required transform processes, including discrete cosine transform and Walsh Hadamard transform. This design also enables to share the common parts among multipliers that have the same multiplicands. The performance of the design is taken into consideration and improved by using a fast architecture of the multiplier in the quantizer, the most critical component in the design. Experimental results show that our architecture can completely finish transform and quantization processes for a 4∶2∶0 macroblock in 228 clock cycles and the achieved throughput is 445Msamples/s at 250MHz operating frequency while the area overhead is very small, 147755µm2 (approximate 15KGates), with the 130nm TSMC CMOS technology.

In this paper low-voltage LC voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) with low sensitivity to process, voltage and temperature (PVT) variations has been presented. VCO operates at 3.2 GHz and its output signal frequency is divided by 2 in quadrature divider to generate quadrature signals at 1.6 GHz. The NMOS cross-coupled architecture, proper varactor biasing, tuning curve linearization technique and switched-capacitor (SC) current source were used to reduce the sensitivity to PVT variations. The LC-VCO was designed with the usage of Low-Leakage UMC 90 nm CMOS technology. It achieves phase noise of −117 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset and draws 1.2 mA (VCO+Quadrature Divider) from 1.2 V supply voltage.
