This paper presents the design of a 6-18GHz low-noise amplifier (LNA) utilizing noise canceling technique to achieve large bandwidth and low noise figure (NF) simultaneously. The LNA is composed of three stages, resistive shunt feedback cascode topology is adopted for the first one, which is convenient for wideband input impedance matching. Besides, the second and third stage are designed for noise canceling and gain compensation respectively. Inductive peaking technique is employed to broaden the bandwidth. Implemented in 130-nm CMOS PD-SOI technology, the proposed LNA achieves maximum 15.44dB gain and minimum 2.42dB NF with flatness of ±1.44dB and 0.109dB/GHz respectively across 6-18GHz, whose fractional bandwidth is as large as 100%.

GPGPUs utilize multi-dimensional memory subsystems to provide the bandwidth needed by their multi-dimensional parallelism. However, an unfavorable address mapping leads to imbalanced memory request distribution across the memory resources, causing degraded performance and poor power efficiency. The optimal mapping is both application- and hardware-dependent. This paper provides a software-hardware co-design to dynamically reconfigure the address mapping according to the trace of the targeted application. First, a circuit to sample the entropy of address bits is proposed to capture the optimal address mapping. Second, a dynamic reconfiguration mechanism is designed to apply the optimal address mapping. Simulation results show up to 45% performance improvement over fixed address mappings.

Cu/SiO2 hybrid bonding is a potent tool to effectively mitigate data-movement issues within von Neumann architecture due to the shortening of the distance between the processor and the memory unit. To protect stacked chip performance, the realization of hybrid bonding at low temperatures (<260°C) is paramount. The essence of low-temperature hybrid bonding lies in the construction of desirable chemical structures on Cu and SiO2 surfaces. Therefore, this paper presents two types of feasible surface-activation strategies to achieve selective/non-selective hydrophilization of the Cu/SiO2 surface. Regardless of activation strategy, the Cu-Cu interface with sufficient grain growth and seamless amorphous SiO2-SiO2 interface structure were obtained at 200 °C. Moreover, the non-selective hydrophilization of Cu/SiO2 surface based on Ar/O2→NH4OH activation realized interfacial layer-free SiO2-SiO2 interface, which can provide more reliable mechanical support for next-generation data-centric applications.

Trapping effects (TE) have significant influence on device performances, including Pulse-IV, scattering parameters and linearity. Due to its slight influence on GaAs high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs), the TE are always neglected in compact models like EE-HEMT. In this paper, we present a physical-based quasi-physical zone division (QPZD) large-signal model and the TE is characterized by using simplified Shockley-Read-Hall (SRH) model, which can characterize the dynamic process of electron capture and emission. The results show that a more accurate model is obtained with TE taken into consideration, which can characterize the Pulse-IV and radio frequency (RF) performance with less errors, especially the linearity of GaAs HEMTs under two-tone excitation with high input dynamic range.

A CMOS broadband millimeter-wave power amplifier (PA) based on a Sandwiched Transformer (ST) output matching network is presented in this paper. The ST output matching network with a three-layer structure providing a larger coupling coefficient (k) than the traditional two-layer stack structure is proposed for PA's output matching network. The layout of the transistors is optimized to improve the PA's performance. Fabricated in 65-nm CMOS process, the PA has achieved 15 dBm OP1dBand 36.5% peak power added efficiency (PAE). The 3-dB bandwidth of the PA is from 22.8 GHz to 32.8 GHz.

The input buffer is widely used in the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to isolate input signal from the internal sample-and-hold network and package. In this work, we propose a wide-band and high-linearity input buffer which is based on cascade complementary source follower (CCSF) structure. It is consisted of two-stage PMOS source follower (SF) and NMOS SF with improved linearity. Designed in 65-nm CMOS under 2.5-V supply, the post-layout simulation result shows that the differential input buffer achieves a Nyquist SFDR of 78.3 dB at 4 GS/s sampling rate and consumes 21.14 mW.

Flexible active-matrix sensor arrays provide large area and high spatial resolution for emerging sensing applications in electronic skin, health monitoring, and human-machine interfaces. However, it is still a challenge to achieve flexible active-matrix sensor arrays with low cost, low crosstalk, high sensitivity, and high uniformity characteristics. Here, we demonstrate a low-cost, high-resolution flexible sensor array by integrating solution-processed indium oxide (In2O3) transistor array with stimuli-sensitive (force, light, etc.) layers. This strategy provides an effective and universal solution to achieve large-area, active-matrix sensor arrays for future soft electronics applications.

The influence of temperature change on device directly affects the memory performance, especially in access latency and energy consumption. Based on temperature monitor, temperature adaptive magnetic random access memory (MRAM) eliminates the impact of temperature on storage performance. However, limited by the characteristics of the magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) device and the operating mode of the MRAM array, wider operating temperature brings challenges to the design of monitor. In this work, based on MRAM array, using the method of segmented detection, we propose a novel temperature monitor for monitoring temperature under -55~125°C. Simulation results show that the temperature monitor can detect the temperature with an accuracy of 5°C within 1.2μs.

In this work, we present a reconfigurable SRAM computing-in-memory (CIM) macro supporting ping-pong operation and pipeline operation for multi-mode multiply-and-accumulate (MAC) operations. The macro can be reconfigured to execute AND or XNOR, offering great flexibilities to cover binary neural network (BNN), ternary neural network (TNN), and multi-bit operation through serially 1-bit AND operations. The main contributions include: (1) A reconfigurable scheme to map inputs and weight of 8T1C bit-cell, supporting three MAC operations; (2) An architecture integrated ping-pong operation and two-level CIM pipeline. Simulated in a standard 28-nm process, the proposed design shows good computing linearity and variations. The average energy efficiency of 1b-AND, BNN, and TNN MAC operation are 1533.7, 1522.9, and 1713.2 TOPS/W, respectively.

This paper presents an analog-assisted digital low dropout regulator (LDO) by adopting a delta sigma modulator (DSM) and a finite impulse response (FIR) filter for reduced output ripple. By employing a dual-mode gain-controlled voltage detector (GCVD) and a gear-shift algorithm, reduced recovery time is achieved. An exponential-ratio array (ERA) is designed to expand the load current range. A charge pump (CP) LDO as an analog-assisted loop enhances transient performance. The proposed digital LDO is implemented in 180nm CMOS. For an output voltage of 0.9V, a maximum load current of 100mA and 5500× load current range are achieved with an input voltage of 1V. The undershooting voltage is 78mV when the load current changes from 210mA to 100mA, and the output ripple is 0.37mV.
