The use of ultra-low-voltage (ULV) analog circuits for IoT applications, in which reduced power consumption is a mandatory specification, is becoming more and morean important design approach. Also, in many IoT applications, power is supplied with energy harvested from environmental sources. It is more efficient for the circuit to operate at a voltage level close to the provided by the energy harvester (between 0.3 and 0.6 V). To deal with this when using low-cost technology process nodes - 180-nm, for example, with |VT| ≈0.5V - it is necessary to apply specific design techniques that take advantage of reverse short channel effect, forward bulk bias-ing (FBB) or bulk-driven circuits. The use of low-VT transistors is also a good alternative when they are available inthe target process node. This paper presents a comprehensive scenery about modern CMOS ULV design techniques from the designer’s point of view, including design trade-offs and comments about design decisions. Four step-by-step design examples of ULV circuits are presented: a cross-coupled negative transconductor, a CMOS inverter as an analog amplifier, a pseudo-differential inverter-based amplifier, and a bulk-driven differential amplifier with active load. All designs require the biasing of transistors in moderate and weak inversion regions.The goal is to demonstrate that it is possible to design ULV analog circuits using standard-VT transistors with a supply voltage much lower than the nominal VDD.
在物联网应用中使用超低电压(ULV)模拟电路,降低功耗是强制性规范,正成为越来越重要的设计方法。此外,在许多物联网应用中,电力是由从环境中收集的能量提供的。电路在接近能量收集器提供的电压水平(在0.3和0.6 V之间)下工作效率更高。当使用低成本技术工艺节点(例如,180纳米,|VT|≈0.5V)时,为了解决这个问题,有必要应用特定的设计技术,利用反向短通道效应、正向体偏置(FBB)或体驱动电路。当在目标工艺节点上可用时,使用低vt晶体管也是一个很好的选择。本文从设计者的角度全面介绍了现代CMOS超低电压设计技术,包括设计权衡和对设计决策的评论。给出了四个ULV电路的逐步设计示例:交叉耦合负变换器,作为模拟放大器的CMOS逆变器,基于伪差分逆变器的放大器,以及带有源负载的体积驱动差分放大器。所有的设计都需要在中反转和弱反转区域中对晶体管进行偏置。目标是证明使用电源电压远低于标称VDD的标准vt晶体管设计ULV模拟电路是可能的。

Analysis of generic single-pole, two-pole, and three-pole operational transconductance amplifiers (OTAs) is carried out based on settling time. The most important design metrics of the open-loop frequency response, such as the stability margins and the gain-bandwidth product (GBW) are related to the settling time of single-, two- and three-stage OTAs in closed-loop configuration, enabling to present a design procedure for each OTA based on the settling time specifications. Transistor-level design examples are provided for each case to validate the described settling-based design strategies.

J. Castellanos
The requirements of portable devices and other applications for a compact and efficient power converter drives the integration of power converters. However, conventional switched-inductor and switched­-capacitor converters struggle with these requirements in integrated circuit dimensions. This paper introduces the state-of-the-art of a growing trend in integrated power converters, called hybrid switched converters. Here, the issues of conventional topologies are introduced, as well as the improvements addressed by hybrid converters, in terms of power efficiency, power density and voltage conversion ratio. Also, the characteristics of the four main trends in fully and highly integrated hybrid switched converters topologies are discussed.  Finally, their state-of-the-art metrics are presented and compared to the metrics of conventional integrated switched converters.

Review of Offset and Noise Reduction Techniques for CMOS CMOS的偏置和降噪技术综述
Q4 Engineering Pub Date : 2022-04-30 DOI: 10.29292/jics.v17i1.572
Carlos Alberto Dos Reis
Input referred offset voltage, 1/f noise and thermal noise are amplifier properties that directly restrict the ability of discerning signals beyond a certain limit. The ever increasing spectrum of applications of integrated circuits and trends in the semiconductor market have pushed engineers to design circuits with successively lower voltage, less power consumption, higher dynamic range, accurate gain and wider bandwidth, preferably altogether. Amplifiers input errors are key properties, which have to be minimized, however with the least negative impact upon the other equally important properties. This paper reviews some the most relevant techniques applied to reducing input errors of CMOS amplifiers aiming at to provide a condensed set of information that can help designers at the starting point of a new design of a precision analog circuit. The focus in all cases that were selected to be studied in this review work was the reduction of offset and noise regardless of any commitment of the used technique with other characteristics of the amplifier and its impacts on figures of merit like NEF and PEF. 
输入参考偏移电压、1/f噪声和热噪声是放大器特性,它们直接限制识别信号的能力超过某个极限。集成电路的应用范围和半导体市场的趋势不断扩大,促使工程师设计出具有连续更低电压、更低功耗、更高动态范围、精确增益和更宽带宽的电路,最好是一起设计。放大器输入误差是关键特性,必须将其最小化,但对其他同等重要特性的负面影响最小。本文综述了一些用于减少CMOS放大器输入误差的最相关技术,旨在提供一组浓缩的信息,帮助设计者在新的精密模拟电路设计起点上进行设计。在本次审查工作中选择研究的所有情况下,重点都是减少偏移和噪声,无论所使用的技术是否具有放大器的其他特性及其对NEF和PEF等品质因数的影响。

 The advent of the Internet-of-Things brings new challenges in circuit design. The presence of circuits and sensors in harsh environments brought the need for methodologies that account for them. Since the beginning of the transistors, the temperature is known for having a significant impact on performance, and even though very low temperature sensitivity circuits have been proposed, no general methodology for designing them exists. This paper proposes a general gm over Id technique for designing temperature-aware circuits that can be used either on measurement data, analytically, or based on simulation models. This model is validated using measurements up to 250°C of X-FAB XT018 transistors and later with a circuit design example.

Logic synthesis tools face tough challenges when providing algorithms for synthesizing circuits with increased inputs and complexity. Machine learning techniques show high performance in solving specific problems, being an attractive option to improve electronic design tools. We explore Cartesian Genetic Programming (CGP) for logic optimization of exact or approximate Boolean functions in our work. The proposed CGP-based flow receives the expected circuit behavior as a truth-table and either performs the synthesis starting from random circuits or optimizes a circuit description provided in the format of an AND-Inverter Graph. The optimization flow improves solutions found by other techniques, using them for bootstrapping the evolutionary process. We use two metrics to evaluate our CGP-based flow: (i) the number of AIG nodes or (ii) the circuit accuracy. The results obtained showed that the CGP-based flow provided at least 22.6% superior results when considering the trade-off between accuracy and size compared with two other methods that brought the best accuracy and size outcomes, respectively.

The CMOS thyristor delay element and its basic operation are presented in this paper. Six variations of the thyristor design developed over the years to extend the delay length, to improve the consistency of the delay, or to control the sensitivities of the delay are also discussed. This includes the complementary thyristor, the thyristor without the current source, the thyristor with threshold elevation, the thyristor with opposing current source, the single-ended thyristor, and the thyristor-type feedback delay element. Design considerations common to all CMOS thyristors are also discussed to provide insights on topology selection, capacitive loading, and transistor sizing.

Secure components and devices have always been and always will be a challenge for the electronics industry. In this sense, there is a constant and growing demand for new solutions that can allow reliability in the use and authenticity of components and devices. The end-user is not able to assess the existing risk, much less if the component or device is reliable in several aspects, mainly improper access to its information. This work presents a new integration of two technologies: Blockchains networks, which implement a kind of decentralized and inviolable database, which can increase resilience, security and guarantee against the alteration of the information registered in its structure; Physical Unclonable Functions (PUF), which allow the generation of a unique cryptographic key, since they use unique physical characteristics of each semiconductor component, considerably increasing security, the protection of industrial property and the opportunity for remote authentication of devices. The unprecedented contribution here is in the integration of existing technologies, in order to obtain an innovative solution of authentication and cyber security for the internet of things and other devices.
安全的组件和设备一直是,也将永远是电子行业面临的挑战。从这个意义上说,对新解决方案的需求不断增长,这种解决方案可以确保组件和设备的使用可靠性和真实性。最终用户无法评估现有风险,更不用说组件或设备在几个方面是可靠的,主要是对其信息的不当访问。这项工作提出了两种技术的新集成:区块链网络,它实现了一种去中心化和不可侵犯的数据库,可以提高弹性、安全性和对其结构中注册的信息的更改的保证;物理不可控制功能(PUF),允许生成唯一的密码密钥,因为它们使用每个半导体组件的独特物理特性,大大提高了安全性、工业产权保护和设备远程认证的机会。这方面前所未有的贡献在于整合现有技术,以获得物联网和其他设备的身份验证和网络安全的创新解决方案。

Selecting the relevant layout techniques is a key point to obtain a high-performance integrated circuit. Most of the common layout techniques, beside allowing the improvement of performance, also leads to an area overhead. Moreover, this area overhead is generally not accurately evaluated. It is proposed in this review to analyze and to evaluate the surface versus performance trade-off in three types of circuits : digital, low-frequency and radiofrequency analog circuits. Each circuit is post-layout simulated using BiCMOS SiGe 55 nm technology from STMicroelectronics. The first analysis evaluates the surface, power consumption and speed trade-off in a digital circuit implementing a 16-bit gray counter, when selecting different combinations of gates from the B55 digital library. The second analysis focuses on the implementation of an accurate capacitor ratio for switched capacitor circuits and quantifies the surface versus accuracy performance. The third analysis evaluate the performance trade-off for six different layout techniques applied on a negative resistor required for a VCO.
选择相关的布局技术是获得高性能集成电路的关键。大多数常见的布局技术除了可以提高性能外,还会导致区域开销。此外,该区域开销通常不会得到准确评估。本文建议分析和评估三种类型电路的表面与性能的权衡:数字电路、低频电路和射频模拟电路。使用STMicroelectronics的BiCMOS SiGe 55nm技术对每个电路进行后布局模拟。当从B55数字库中选择不同的门组合时,第一种分析评估了实现16位灰度计数器的数字电路中的表面、功耗和速度权衡。第二种分析侧重于开关电容器电路的精确电容器比的实现,并量化表面与精度的性能。第三种分析评估了VCO所需的负电阻器上应用的六种不同布局技术的性能权衡。
