Continued proliferation of semiconductors for a smarter society drives the evolution of flash memory technologies towards higher density, lower power consumption, and lower cost. This year, a new generation of 3D NAND Flash memory with up to 96-stacked word-line layers is introduced. For the first time, a memory with over 1Tb density is demonstrated using a 4b/cell 3D NAND technology. An ultra-low latency flash controller with a new high-speed 3D NAND is proposed in order to fill a large performance gap between DRAM and Flash memories.

Connecting things wirelessly requires optimization from multidisciplinary areas. This session will introduce state-of-the-art wireless transceivers supporting ultra-lower-power IoT and connectivity solutions. In this session, a high-performance WLAN SoC supporting up to 802.11ax 1024QAM will be presented. Then, two-blockers-tolerant high-sensitivity Bluetooth Low-Energy (BLE) transceivers in 65nm and 40nm CMOS will be presented followed by a best-in-class performance all-digital PLL for BLE in 16nm FinFET technology, and an energy-harvesting BLE transmitter in 28nm CMOS. An ultra-low-power wakeup receiver enabling event-driven sensor nodes and an ultrasonic wake-up receiver using a precharged capacitive micro-machined ultrasound transducer will be shown. Finally, a 5.8GHz near-field radio achieving the smallest die size of 116μm×116μm will be presented in this session.

Many state-of-the-art systems for machine learning are limited by memory in terms of the energy they require and the performance they can achieve. This session explores how this bottleneck can be overcome by emerging architectures that perform computation inside the memory array. This necessitates unconventional, typically mixed-signal, circuits for computation, which exploit the statistical nature of machine-learning applications to achieve high algorithmic performance with substantial energy and throughput gains. Further, the architectures serve as a driver for emerging memory technologies, exploiting the high-density and nonvolatility these offer towards increased scale and efficiency of computation. The innovative papers in this session provide concrete demonstrations of this promise, by going beyond conventional architectures.

The session presents LO-generation systems aimed at 5G communications and sub-mm-wave sensing systems. The first three papers focus on mm-wave CMOS LOs for multiband 5G systems and highlight the importance of injection-locked frequency multipliers and accurate quadrature generation for the 28-to-44GHz band. Then, the session continues with a BiCMOS 301.7-to-331.8GHz source and a 4GHz inverse-Class-F CMOS VCO. A quad-core BiCMOS 15GHz VCO is presented next, while a 7.4-to-14GHz CMOS PLL concludes the session.

This session's high-resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) with 12 to 19b ENOB introduce a number of advanced circuit design techniques to achieve very high performance with low power consumption. While many of the proposed designs use an efficient SAR architecture where possible for moderate resolution, higher performance is consistently enabled by delta-sigma and pipeline architectures. Precision is further enabled by techniques such as hardware re-use, calibration, dynamic element matching, chopping, and correlated double-sampling.

Demand for high-performance and high-capacity DRAMs is increasing more dramatically than in the past, due to the emergence of new areas such as machine learning, VR and AR. In line with this trend, new innovations with capacities of 16Gb and data-rate speeds of 18Gb/s/pin are introduced this year. These changes are common to high-performance computing, gaming graphics, mobile, and server fields, including artificial intelligence. Two graphics DRAM papers of the next generation GDDR6 standard show a maximum data rate of 16 to 18Gb/s/pin with single-ended signaling, and 16Gb high-density DRAMs in a 10nm process node are introduced in LPDDR4X and DDR4. HBM2 is extended to an 8H stack for 64Gb density while keeping a BW of 341GB/s.
