In order to improve the energy efficiency of logic circuits, reductions in capacitance (C) and power supply voltage (VDD) are required, as energy consumption is proportional to CVDD2. Near-threshold (Vt) operation achieves an energy minimum. Resonant clocking can reduce the effective capacitance of the clock distribution network. In this work, a new resonant clocking scheme enabling power reduction at any clock frequency is proposed and applied to a 0.37V 980kHz near-Vt logic circuit in 40nm CMOS.

Millimeter-Wave and sub-THz imaging sensors have been demonstrated in CMOS technology recently. Mechanical scanners are still required to capture the whole image, making the systems bulky and costly. The limited resolution of the third-dimension (z-direction) also leads to a vague 3D picture. Other 2D solutions need not only focal lens, but large chip area to accommodate more pixels. This paper presents a 94GHz 3D image radar with electronic scanning. Using a 4TX/4RX beamforming technique and a modulated time-of-flight (ToF) algorithm, this prototype achieves ±28° scanning range, 2m maximum distance, and 1mm depth resolution with 960mW of power.

Recently, short distance board-to-board interconnections are widely employed in portable systems and wearable devices to accommodate many components into an extremely tight footprint. In particular, portable devices such as smart phone and tablet require over 1Gb/s data transfer through ~1mm distance between AP board and a high resolution wide screen display board. Most of display interfaces are implemented with wire-line F-PCB connector, but, they suffer from: 1) high manufacturing cost, 2) the large form factor of the connector and standard socket and 3) large capacitance values of the connector and socket degrading the channel characteristics. So far, various communication interfaces have been tried to realize low cost, small form factor and low energy operation, but with limited success. The bi-phase pule modulation was used in board-to-board communication rather than base-band transmission due to its low energy operation [1-5]. This method used the positive pulse current for data `1' and the negative pulse current for data `0', and the receiver recovered the data by sampling the data at the exact time, which requires an accurate delay control unit. However, the bi-phase pulse modulation consumes significant power because: 1) current pulses sampled at every data consume large current in TX, and 2) a power hungry delay control unit is required to exactly control the sampling time.

Technology scaling and many-core design trends demand detailed information regarding the spatial temperature distribution, which is essential for dynamic thermal management [1,2]. The number of on-chip temperature sensors in high-performance processors is increasing, with state-of-the-art commercial processors embedding up to 44 on-chip sensors [3] and the number is likely to increase in the future (Fig. 14.7.1(a)). We observe two significant challenges in on-chip temperature sensing: 1) the increasing number of sensors, and 2) placing them in a regular manner (not solely on the potential hotspots). The number of sensors is mostly constrained by their area. Indeed, the sensor area is difficult to shrink since large delay lines or a BJT with a large ADC, and digital circuits are required to generate a proportional-to-absolute-temperature (PTAT) signal [2,5,6]. Many-core processor architectures give rise to the second challenge, namely, the hotspot locations within many-core processors are difficult to predict since we cannot determine the task allocation (and heat) profile at design time [2]. Consequently, an area-efficient dense thermal monitoring technique is desirable for next-generation processors.

A pixel clock generator is widely utilized in the analog front-ends of digital TVs and also in other video applications. A low integrated jitter is required for good display quality. However, an extremely low input frequency coming from the horizontal synchronization signal (HSYNC) makes it difficult to achieve good jitter performance, because noise from the VCO cannot be sufficiently removed due to the limited loop bandwidth. In this work, a dual-loop architecture is adopted to reduce the phase noise from the VCO based on a ring oscillator. Prior work [1] proposed a dual-loop hybrid PLL composed of an analog loop for the DCO and the digital main loop. Unlike the hybrid architecture [1], our proposed PLL is composed of purely digital components and is synthesized in 28nm CMOS, including the TDC and the DCO, using a cell-based design methodology and automated layout synthesis.

Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) has become one of the standard techniques for energy efficient operation of systems by powering circuit blocks at the minimum voltage that meets the desired performance [1]. Switched Capacitor (SC) DC-DC converters have gained significant interest as a promising candidate for an integrated energy conversion solution that eliminates the need for inductors [2,3]. However, SC converters efficiency is limited by the conduction loss, bottom plate parasitic capacitance, gate drive loss in addition to the overhead of the control circuit. Reconfigurable SC converters supporting multi-gain settings have been proposed to allow efficient operation across wide output range [2,4]. Also, High density deep trench capacitors with low bottom plate parasitic capacitance have been utilized in [5] achieving a peak efficiency of 90%. In this work, we exploit on-chip ferroelectric capacitors (Fe-Caps) for charge transfer owing to their high density and extremely low bottom plate parasitic capacitance [6]. High efficiency conversion is achieved by combining the Fe-Caps with multi-gain setting converter in a reconfigurable architecture with dynamic gain selection.

The transceiver power is reduced by 27% in the single-ended point-to-point DRAM interface by increasing the termination resistance to 4×Z0 at both ends of TX and RX. The resultant increase of ISI and reflection is compensated for at RX by using the 1-tap and 2-tap integrating decision-feedback equalizer (IDFE), respectively, where the reflection tap position and the tap coefficients are found automatically during the training mode. This improves the bathtub opening of a 4-inch FR4 channel from 20% to 62.5% at 5Gb/s in 0.13μm CMOS.

Given the continuously climbing data rates of high-speed I/O's, equalizer circuits-and particularly decision-feedback equalizer (DFE) designs-are being pushed to operate at ever-higher speeds. At 20 to 40Gb/s data-rates, loop-unrolled DFEs are widely adopted to relieve the feedback timing constraints of the initial tap(s) [1]. However, loop-unrolling introduces additional delay into the critical paths of later (non-unrolled) DFE taps due to the selection MUXes, and with its exponential growth in complexity, does not scale well as the number of unrolled taps increases. Perhaps due to this challenge, no multi-tap DFE solutions with single pJ/bit efficiencies have yet been demonstrated at data rates >40Gb/s.

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) have a spectrum allocation shown in Fig. 19.4.1. The time-to-first-lock and location accuracy can be improved through simultaneous reception of two different satellite signals. This usually necessitates the use of two dedicated receivers [1] driven by a single and sometimes two separate synthesizers, which increases complexity, die area, and most importantly current consumption. To solve this problem, the architecture shown in Fig. 19.4.1 is proposed. The SoC consists of one single reconfigurable low-IF receiver, a single fractional-N frequency synthesizer, and a digital baseband processor. Since different satellite signals are uncorrelated and are buried well below the noise floor, they can be amplified and downconverted by the same RF/analog chain as an image of one another, and then separated in the digital domain by the corresponding correlator and signal processor. In the case of simultaneous GPS/Galileo and Glonass dual reception, the LO (fLO_GG) is set to 1588.608MHz. As a result, the GPS/Galileo signal becomes the image of the Glonass satellite signal with an IF frequency of 13.1MHz. Similarly, when the LO (fLO_GB) is set to 1568.256MHz, the resulting IF frequency is about 7.1MHz for GPS/Galileo and Beidou dual reception. For GPS/Galileo-only reception, the LO (fLO_GPS) is set to 1571.328MHz resulting in an IF frequency of 4.092MHz.
