This paper presents a novel fold-back current limiting protection circuit used in sub-threshold low dropout regulator (LDO) for wireless sensor applications. By sensing the output current and output voltage, then comparing the sampled results with VREF, the proposed protection circuit can control the gate voltage of the power transistor to limit the output current. The maximum output current and short current of the sub-threshold LDO can be limited to 330 mA and 90 mA, respectively, which can save up to 71.9% of power consumption in the case of an output short-circuit condition compared with traditional constant current limiting protection methods. In a 0.35-μm CMOS technology, the sub-threshold LDO can provide a 3.3 V output voltage stably under the 5 V input voltage when the load current changes from 1 μA to 200 mA, and the load regulation rate is only 0.019 mV/mA.

In this paper, a 5.05MHz, 2.06μW/MHz, 22ppm/°C relaxation oscillator working as temperature varies from -40°C to 125°C and supply voltage varies from 1.1V to 2V is proposed and designed in a 180nm CMOS process. By using a single comparator control method and a reduced charging/discharging capacitance, the energy-per-cycle figure of merit reaches 2.06μW/MHz. With on-chip voltage and current reference and optimized comparator delay times, the output frequency has a temperature coefficient of only 22ppm/°C. The frequency changes for only 16% when supply voltage varies from 1.1V to 2V.

With the development of artificial intelligence technology, the usage of perception, storage and computing integrated devices for neuromorphic computing has become a research hotspot. We have successfully fabricated a photonmemristive device with optical sensing ability, which could simulate the synaptic behaviors in the human brain. The device could receive and respond to ultraviolet light, and realize synaptic functions, such as short-term plasticity, long-term potentiation and paired-pulse facilitation. In addition, it was able to be applied in the image identification field, the recognition rate could reach 92.2%. The device still had high stability and low operating current after light pulses excitation. The two-terminal photonic memristive unit is expected to be integrated into a 3D system and have broad application prospects in the field of artificial intelligence.

This paper presents a peak-tunable PAM-4 linear equalizer for 200-Gb/s communication in 130-nm SiGe BiCMOS process. It consists of two stage continuous-time linear equalizers (CTLE) and an output driver. The feedforward and degeneration techniques are employed to realize multiple peaks at high, middle and low frequency points, respectively. Moreover, the equalizer can reach a maximum 20.6-dB compensation with a fixed peaking frequency at 51 GHz. The simulation results show that with an 18-dB lossy channel, the proposed equalizer provides a 53-GHz bandwidth and 200-Gb/s PAM-4 eye. It consumes 159-mW power under 2.8/3.3-V supply and achieves 0.80-pJ/bit power efficiency.

Fluctuations in Vth distribution can pose reliability problems for true random number generators (TRNGs). Here, we propose an explanation of the mechanism for voltage-to-time transformation scheme, which improve the reliability of TRNGs by fine-grained segmentation of time. Compared with conventional schemes, test scheme in this work can tolerate 50% cycle-to-cycle (C2C) and device-to-device (D2D) distribution shift and ensure the independence of random bits. This work provides a distinct and reliable evidence for tolerating frequent parameter shifts in voltage-to-time transformation scheme, which increase Vth robustness, reduce device requirements in practical use, and avoid redundant measurements and extra calibration in the test.

This paper presents a low power, low phase noise, and small chip area transformer-based PMOS-only stacked-g», LC VCO in a 28-nm process. Both the top and bottom use PMOS cross-coupled pairs to provide negative resistances with suppressing the flicker noise. An interleaved transformer is used to get a higher coupling coefficient to achieve small chip area and high passive voltage gain. The VCO exhibits a wide turning range from 4.2 to 5.6 GHz, and low phase noise from -120 dBc/Hz to -113 dBc/Hz at 1MHz frequency offset, respectively. It consumes minimum 678 μ W and maximum 680 μ W from a 0.8V supply voltage which does not require internal LDO or DC-DC converter to reduce the supply voltage.

Herein a digitally controlled ring oscillator (DCRO) using noise cancellation technology is presented for an all digital phase-locked loops (ADPLLs) system. The design introduced a noise insensitive current source combined with current digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to achieve high resolution with wide tuning range, and better supply noise immunization. Meanwhile, regulated cascode topology is utilized to ensure the equality of drain source voltage of current mirror arrays under various current injecting into DCRO alleviating the channel-length modulation effect. The proposed design was implemented in 40 nm CMOS process operating from 4 to 5GHz with 100kHz resolution. Simulation results show that the supply sensitivity of current source can averagely reach -151.5dB and DCRO achieves static and dynamic supply noise immunity of 0.021 %-fout/1% VDD and 0.011 %-fout/1 %-VDD respectively at 4.5GHz. The overall power dissipation is 0.84mW from a 1.2V supply.

this paper presents a 110-GHz wideband direct-detection imaging unit integrating balanced power detector and log-periodic antenna in 0.25 μm GaAs pHEMT technology. The detector mainly consists of a 90° bridge, two identical transistors for detection, and a low-pass filter. Coplanar waveguides (CPW) are deployed to implement transmission lines in a compact size. In addition, an on-chip log-periodic antenna is co-designed to connect with the detector. Simulation results demonstrate that the peak responsivity of the detector is 8 kV/ W at 98 GHz with a 3 dB bandwidth from 85.9 GHz to 128.9 GHz and a low in-band noise equivalent power (NEP) of 0.87-1.5 pW/Hz1/2.

A DLL-based offset calibration loop (OCL) is proposed to eliminate the DC offset and low-frequency flicker noise of the two differential paths to optimize the input signal-to-noise ratio before signal demodulation. The loop technology that can effectively calibrate the offset reduces the false alarm rate of the wake-up receiver (WuRX), and improves the sensitivity and robustness. This design uses 65nm LP CMOS process for layout design and simulation verification. With a supply voltage of 0.4V, the DC offset voltage on the signal path is reduced from an initial 5mV to a calibrated 39µV, resulting in a total system power consumption of 7.4nW.
