A fully differential 900 MHz CMOS LNA using, as input stage, nMOS and pMOS inductively degenerated pairs, in shunt configuration, achieves the following performance: 2 dB NF, 22 dB voltage gain, -3 dBm IIP3 with 8 mA current consumption. As additional feature of this LNA is a variable gain. Measurements have been performed on packaged dies. No external components are used, except for an SMD inductor (used for tuning purposes), placed in series with the on-chip gate spiral inductor.

The developed 256-Mb double-data-rate (DDR) SDRAM employs a one-cycle stage-selection analog DLL (delayed-locked loop) circuit-running at IO mW with a 20-ps jitter and a 65- cycles lock-in - and a fully differential clocking system to provide 2~ 0.33-ns clock-to-data-output delay, 0.06-ns setup time and 0.26-ns hold time with respect to the data strobe. This performance represents the possibility of over 250-MHz (500 Mb/s/pin) operation. An even/odd-shared redundancy circuit for a 2-b prefetch reduces the number of fuses by 33%.

A 10-Gb/s phase-locked clock and data recovery circuit incorporates a 5-GHz interpolating voltage-controlled oscillator and a half-rate phase detector. The phase detector provides a linear characteristic while retiming and demultiplexing the data with no systematic phase offset. Fabricated in a 0.18-/spl mu/m CMOS technology, the circuit exhibits an rms jitter of 6.6 ps in the recovered clock with random data input of length 2/sup 23/-1. The power dissipation is 99 mW from a 2.6-V supply.

This paper presents a fast 64-bit parallel carry look-ahead binary adder implemented in a 1 GHz research prototype 64-bit PowerPC microprocessor. Efficient use of dynamic compound gates enables implementation of the adder in just three stages of delayed reset dynamic logic. The computation uses only G (Generate) and P (Propagate), and the inverse of Carry is computed from G, P, and a strobe signal.

To lower the supply voltage and reduce the power dissipation of the RF front-end of wireless communication systems, a double-balanced square-law MOSFET mixer is proposed. It is applied to up- and down-conversion mixer cores. Implemented in a 0.35-/spl mu/m CMOS process, the up-conversion mixer core operates with a supply voltage of 0.5 V and a supply current of 0.8 mA in the 5-GHz band. The local leakage is suppressed below -40 dBc. The down-conversion mixer core drains 0.4 mA from a 1-V supply in the same band. The conversion gain is 6 dB and the 3rd-order input-referred intercept point (IIP3) is +5 dBm.

A trans-impedance amplifier integrated with an InP PIN photodiode has been demonstrated for 10 Gb SONET receiver. The shunt feedback trans-impedance amplifier is fabricated in 0.25 /spl mu/m modular Si BICMOS technology. The feedback resistance of 870 /spl Omega/ is achieved with a bandwidth of 8.5 GHz. The sensitivity of the trans-impedance amplifier at 10 Gb/s is -17 dBm at a bit-error-rate (BER) of 10/sup -12/ with 2/sup 31/-1 pseudo-random bits.

Two circuit techniques are proposed to design a SDRAM which operates both at a double-data-rate (DDR) and a single-data-rate (SDR). The common/separated I/O scheme enables 2-bit prefetching under a DDR and interrupt operations under an SDR with half the number of data-bus lines otherwise needed. The SSTL/LVTTL-compatible input buffer allows a narrow setup/hold time. Furthermore, the three-size flexible column redundancy enhances the yield. To evaluate these techniques, a 256-Mb SDRAM has been designed assuming 0.16-/spl mu/m technology and simulated with 167-MHz operations.

A 64-kByte cache exploits combined address generation and word line decoding in the SRAM array, translation array, and directory. In place of a late select, set selection in the two-way associative cache is accomplished in the decode path by accessing a stored prediction from a sum-indexed array built into the decoder.

For the new millennium, several "third" dimensional approaches in the memory area will take place with continuous revolutionary development from current technologies for various customers' demands. In the mean time, various and combined evolutionary technologies such as micro-machining technology, multi-chip stacking techniques, mixed digital/analog circuits, merged memories on a chip, cloning and genetics, biochemistry and magnetics areas are awaiting a breakthrough and will be pursued toward the generic memory goals of high density, high speed and low power more closely.
