A 4.3-GHz voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) using an addressable array of cross-coupled minimum size NMOS transistor pairs for post fabrication selection is demonstrated in 65-nm CMOS. An algorithm based on Hamming distance using the phase noise measurements of ~1,500 array combinations was used to identify combinations that have record phase noise of -130dBc/Hz at 1-MHz offset from a 4.3-GHz carrier, while consuming 5.2 mW from a 1-V supply. The operating frequency of circuits using post fabrication selection in its high frequency path is increased to 5 GHz.

A 0.003 mm2 5.2 mW/tap analog receive-side feedforward equalizer (RX-FFE) is demonstrated in 40 nm CMOS for up to 20 GBd ADC-based links. The FFE is constructed entirely with analog-inverter transconductors and capacitors, avoiding the use of area-intensive inductors. The delay element is implemented as a first-order Padé approximant of an ideal delay. The equalization performance is measured to be sufficient to relax the ADC resolution requirement by 1 bit. The total power consumed is less than 26 mW with less than 9.2 nV/√Hz output noise for all configurations.

This paper presents a new energy-efficient ring oscillator collapse-based comparator, which is demonstrated in a 15-bit SAR ADC. The comparator automatically adjusts comparison energy according to its input difference without any control, eliminating unnecessary energy spent on coarse comparisons. The employed SAR ADC supplements a 10-bit differential main CDAC with a 5-bit common-mode CDAC. This offers an additional 5 bits of resolution with common mode to differential gain tuning that improves linearity by reducing the effect of switch parasitic capacitance. A test chip fabricated in 40nm CMOS shows 74.12 dB SNDR and 173.4 dB FOMs. The comparator consumes 104 nW with the full ADC consuming 1.17 μW.

A low-power precision-scalable processor for ConvNets or convolutional neural networks (CNN) is implemented in a 40nm technology. Its 256 parallel processing units achieve a peak 102GOPS running at 204MHz. To minimize energy consumption while maintaining throughput, this works is the first to both exploit the sparsity of convolutions and to implement dynamic precision-scalability enabling supply- and energy scaling. The processor is fully C-programmable, consumes 25-288mW at 204 MHz and scales efficiency from 0.3-2.6 real TOPS/W. This system hereby outperforms the state-of-the-art up to 3.9× in energy efficiency.

This paper describes the design of a low power fully-adaptive wideband, flexible reach transceiver in 16nm FinFET CMOS embedded within FPGA. The receiver utilizes a 3-stage CTLE with a segmented AGC to minimize parasitic peaking and 15-tap DFE to operate over both short and long channels. The transmitter uses a swing boosted CML driver architecture. Low noise wideband fractional N LC PLLs combined with linear active inductor based phase interpolators and high speed clocking are utilized for low jitter clock generation. The transceiver achieves >1200mVdpp TX swing with <;190 fs RJ and 5.39 ps TJ to achieve BER <; 10-15 over a 30 dB loss backplane at 32.75 Gb/s, while consuming 577 mW.

A digital phase noise cancellation technique for ring oscillator-based I/Q receivers is presented. Ring oscillator phase noise, including supply-induced phase noise, is extracted from digital phase-locked loop (DPLL) and used to restore the randomly rotated baseband signal in digital domain. The receiver prototype fabricated in 65nm CMOS technology achieves phase noise reduction from -88 to -109dBc/Hz at 1MHz offset, and an integrated phase noise (IPN) reduction from -16.8 to -34.6dBc, when operating at 2.4GHz.

A sub-nW voltage reference is presented that uses only PMOS transistors, thereby providing inherently low process variation and enabling trim-free operation for LDOs and other applications in nW microsystems. Sixty chips from 3 different wafers in 180nm CMOS are measured, showing an untrimmed within-wafer σ/μ of 0.26% and wafer-to-wafer σ/μ of 1.9%. Measurement results also show a temperature coefficient of 48-124ppm/°C from -40°C to 85°C. Outputting a 0.986V reference voltage, the reference operates down to 1.2V and consumes 114pW at 25°C.

28.3 Gb/s transceiver with 35 dB channel loss equalization is presented. The transmitter deploys 3-tap feed forward equalizer (FFE). The driver employs the hybrid architecture of low voltage differential signaling (LVDS) and source-series-terminated (SST) driver which enables the low power consumption and output signal amplitude fine tune. The receiver comprised with continuous time linear equalizer (CTLE) and 2-tap loop unrolled decision feedback equalizer (DFE). It saves the power consumption by not applying DFE at the eye edge, and increases the eye margin with adaptive sampling clock phase adjustment capability. The transceiver is composed of one PLL and four lanes, occupies 1.67 mm2 and consumes 829 mW (7.3 pJ/bit).

Amazing progress in machine-learning, largely based on deep neural networks, has started to make applications once considered impossible, such as real-time translation or self-driving cars, a reality. However, even if, on some restricted problems, machine-learning is getting close to human-level performance, we are still far from the capabilities of the human brain. Machine-learning researchers themselves acknowledge that the progress observed in the past 10 years has been largely due to rapid increase in computing performance, allowing to tackle larger neural networks and larger training sets. So the computer systems and circuits communities can play a very significant role in enabling future progress. While GPUs have been a major driver of this recent progress, both the slowing rate of improvement of standard CMOS technology and the need for even faster progress suggest to at least explore alternative approaches. In this talk, we will discuss lessons learned from research on architectures for machine-learning, and that some of the hurdles ahead largely lie at the circuit level, but can possibly be overcome in the near future.
