A technique for designing DLLs and PLLs using CMOS buffers with a regulated supply is presented. By scaling the charge pump current and the output resistance of the regulating amplifier, the proposed loops achieve a wide bandwidth that tracks the operating frequency, a constant damping factor, large operating range and low noise sensitivity. Prototype loops designed in 0.35-/spl mu/m CMOS processes exhibit >10x operating range and less than 1% input tracking jitter.

A channel-select filter with on-chip PLL tuning for CDMA IS-95 has been integrated in a 0.35-/spl mu/m digital CMOS technology. To achieve both low power and robustness, dynamic range scaling is implemented on an elliptic ladder prototype. The dynamic range scaling is based on the special requirement for the wireless receiver. A new method to analyze the trade-off between filter noise and power consumption is presented. The filter and PLL dissipate 2.9 mW and 1.6 mW from a 3-V supply, and the die area is 1.06 mm/sup 2/. The filter achieves 61 dB stopband rejection, 0.05 dB/0.2/spl deg/ I/Q gain/phase mismatch, 100 /spl mu/Vrms input-referred noise, 20 dBm IIP3, and 58 dB SFDR.

The bit-line leakage current of an SRAM, induced by transistor leakage at low V/sub DD/ and dependent on cell data associated with the bit-line, is detected in a pre-charge cycle and compensated for during a read/write cycle. By this scheme, V/sub th/ can be lowered to 0.23 V/sub DD/ in a 0.07 /spl mu/m/1.0 V CMOS, as it was before, keeping V/sub th/ and delay scalability of the high-speed SRAM.

The demand for high density and high-speed programming in flash memories has grown because of audio- and video- storage applications. A multilevel technique is the most effective approach to improving memory density, but it requires precise control of a memory cell's Vth that doesn't degrade programming performance. To enable this, we have developed a selective verify scheme for high-speed programming based on simultaneous multilevel programming. A selective verify scheme with asymmetrical cell operation and two-bank operation makes 5-MB/s programming throughput in 3-bit/cell flash memories attainable.

A modular 256 KB advanced transfer cache tile has been developed to implement the on-die second level caches of the 0.18 /spl mu/m Intel(R) Pentium(R) III processor family. The cache tile is stepped from 1 to 8 times to form implementations from 256 KB to 2 MB. Each tile is a self-contained cache delivering a line of 32 B every 2 clock cycles at 1.0 GHz. A charge-share data sense technique overlaps the data and tag array accesses for reduced latency at lower power. Modular tiled cache design also achieves low power through hierarchical power management and reduced test time through PBIST (programmable built in self test).

We have built a 16-tap, 7-bit, 200 MHz, mixed-signal FIR filter that consumes 3 mW at 3.3 V. The filter uses p-channel synapse transistors to store the tap coefficients; electron tunneling and hot-electron injection to modify the tap weights; digital registers for the delay line; and multiplying digital-to-analog converters to multiply the digital delay-line values with the analog tap weights. The measured bandwidth is 225 MHz; the measured tap multiplier resolution is 7 bits at 200 MHz. The total die area is 0.13 mm/sup 2/; we can readily scale the design to higher bit resolutions and longer delay-lines.

This paper demonstrates a skew and jitter suppressed delay locked loop (DLL) architecture used for over 400 Mbps operating DDR SDRAMs. Two novel replica adjusting techniques are introduced, which reduce timing skews between external clocks and data outputs. An improved delay line architecture is introduced, which realizes a high frequency and jitter suppressed DLL.

This analog-to-digital converter achieves a minimum sampling rate of 105 Msample/S at a total power dissipation of 850 mW while achieving 11.0 effective number of bits (SNR=68 dB) and an SFDR of >80 dB for sampling analog input frequencies up to 70 MHz. The converter uses a switched capacitor multi-bit per stage architecture and incorporates an on-chip differential input buffer, a dedicated track/hold amplifier and an internally compensated wideband differential reference amplifier.

We have developed a pump-hopping level-up converter and a differential-input, level-down converter that, enable level conversion for I/O interfacing in sub-1-V LSIs. The level-up converter transforms signals of 0.64 V to 3.6 V within 5 ns with a 0.14-/spl mu/m CMOS technology. The differential input level down converter enables stable operation even at VDD of 0.5 V. These proposed level converters also provide the immunity against power-supply bouncing, which is essential for low-voltage and high-speed LSIs.
