This paper reports a 132 by 104 dynamic vision sensor (DVS) with $10 mu mathrm{m}$ pixel in a 65nm logic process and a synchronous address-event representation (SAER) readout capable of 180Meps throughput. The SAER architecture allows adjustable event frame rate control and supports pre-readout pixel-parallel noise and spatial redundancy suppression. The chip consumes $250 mu mathrm{W}$ with 100keps running at 1k event frames per second (efps), 3-5 times more power efficient than the prior art using normalized power metrics. The chip is aimed for low power IoT and real-time high-speed smart vision applications.

This paper presents a low-dropout (LDO) regulators that can supply up to 0.3A output current with high power supply rejection (PSR). The proposed BGR-recursive LDO design with PSR-boosting feedforward improves the PSR while consuming a low quiescent current of $le 50 mu mathrm {A}$.

This paper presents a four-channel time-interleaved high-speed current-steering DAC with a proposed two-stage analog multiplexer (MUX). Optimum switching times of the cascaded MUX and the sub-DACs are guaranteed by background clock phase calibration with a proposed maximum-overlap-based phase detector. A 6b 28GS/s prototype DAC fabricated in 40nm CMOS achieves a SFDR of 34.6dB at a Nyquist input and consumes 103mW under dual supply voltages of 1.1V and 1.6V.

This work proposes a dual-residue pipelined-SAR ADC that generates two residue signals from a single amplifier, which eliminates the need for gain-matching calibration. A capacitive interpolating SAR conversion technique is also proposed for the second stage for power efficiency. A prototype ADC fabricated in a 40nm CMOS occupies an active area of 0.026 mm2 and achieves an SNDR of 62.1 dB at Nyquist and 67.1 dB SFDR under a 0.9 V supply.

A 1.02pJ/b USR link carrying 416.67 Gb/s/mm die edge (500Gb/s aggregated data rate) in 16nm FinFET, while occupying 2.4mm2, is presented. To enable dense routing over conventional package material, a modified correlated NRZ signaling with low sensitivity to ISI, Xtalk, and common-mod noise has been developed. A matched CTLE/slicer topology has been employed to enhance robustness of the receiver over PVT. A very wideband Rx PLL tracks the majority of Tx jitter, resulting in significant power saving by relaxing Tx design constraints.

This paper presents a data (DQ) receiver for HBM3 with a self-tracking loop that tracks a phase skew between DQ and data strobe (DQS) due to a voltage or thermal drift. The self-tracking loop achieves low power and small area by utilizing an analog-assisted baud-rate phase detector. The proposed pulse-to-charge (PC) phase detector (PD) converts the phase skew to a voltage difference and detects the phase skew from the voltage difference. An offset calibration scheme that can compensates for a mismatch of the PD is also proposed. The proposed calibration scheme operates without any additional sensing circuits by taking advantage of the write training of HBM. Fabricated in 65 nm CMOS, the DQ receiver shows a power efficiency of 370 fJ/b at 4.8 Gb/s and occupies 0.0056 mm2. The experimental results show that the DQ receiver operates without any performance degradation under ${a}pm 10$% supply variation.

This work presents a 65nm CMOS speech recognition processor, named Thinker-IM, which employs 16 computing-in-memory (SRAM-CIM) macros for binarized recurrent neural network (RNN) computation. Its major contributions are: 1) A novel digital-CIM mixed architecture that runs an output-weight dual stationary (OWDS) dataflow, reducing 85.7% memory accessing; 2) Multi-bit XNOR SRAM-CIM macros and corresponding CIM-aware weight adaptation that reduces 9.9% energy consumption in average; 3) Predictive early batch-normalization (BN) and binarization units (PBUs) that reduce at most 28.3% computations in RNN. Measured results show the processing speed of 127.3us/Inference and over 90.2% accuracy, while achieving neural energy efficiency of 5.1pJ/Neuron, which is 2.8 × better than state-of-the-art.

A 426-GHz imaging pixel integrating a transmitter and a coherent receiver using three oscillators for triple-pushing within an area of 380×470μm2 is demonstrated. The radiated TX power is −17.9 dBm and the sensitivity is −89.6 dBm for a 1-kHz noise bandwidth. The sensitivity is the lowest among imaging pixels operating above 0.3 THz. The pixel consumes 52 mW from a 1.3-V VDD. The pixel can be used with a reflector with 47-dB gain to form a camera-like reflection mode image for an object 5 m away.

This paper presents an injection-locked PLL that employs RC pulse generator and injection timing calibration to enhance the jitter and reference spur performance. An ultra-low power oscillator is designed to reduce the overall power consumption of the PLL. The chip is fabricated in 65nm CMOS technology, occupying an area of 0.25mm2. The proposed ILPLL achieves 70fsrms integrated jitter and -66dBc reference spur, while consuming 0.2mW, which translates into -270dB FoM at 2.4GHz output frequency.
