For the mobile fronthauling, a seamless combination of optical fiber and wireless link is an attractive solution. In this article, a millimeter-wave-over-fiber system is demonstrated based on an analog radio-over-fiber architecture that accommodates a variety of modulation formats for different wireless applications and, hence, can be practically transparent to the wireless signal formats. This millimeter-wave-over-fiber heterogeneous system is an efficient remote antenna prototype with a small form factor supporting future wireless networks. The core of the system features high-speed optical components, fiber array, wireless electronic front-end ICs, and patch antenna array. A high-speed Ge photodetector and a SiGe electro-absorption modulator are bonded to a CMOS chip consisting of a transimpedance amplifier, a power amplifier, a low-noise amplifier, and a modulator driver. Considering 28-GHz 16-QAM OFDM signals, the opto-electronic transmitter and receiver achieve an error vector magnitude of 10% and 7.5%, respectively, satisfying 5G requirements.","PeriodicalId":100636,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Solid-State Circuits Magazine","volume":"16 4","pages":"41-53"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142636417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For over two decades, the Solid State Circuits Society (SSCS) community has been investigating low-overhead, generic physical countermeasures that extend beyond provably secure architectural and masking techniques. This paper summarizes prominent circuit-level techniques designed to mitigate side-channel attacks (SCA). Additionally, this work discusses recently introduced attack detectors those demonstrate the potential for further reducing overhead by employing detection and mitigation strategies, thereby eliminating the need for always-on countermeasures. This paper also proposes future directions for circuit-level countermeasures.","PeriodicalId":100636,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Solid-State Circuits Magazine","volume":"16 4","pages":"96-108"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142636382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Edge computing systems can improve their energy efficiency and reduce response latency by exploiting this neuromorphic principle. The neuromorphic approach for the extraction of acoustic features replaces conventional ADC and DSP with biological cochlea-inspired filters and event generators implemented in mixed-signal circuits. The resulting sparse feature events drive inference in dynamic-sparsity-aware neural network accelerators to reduce computational load and memory access. The demonstration of edge keyword spotting shows the dynamic savings in power. Exploiting dynamic sparsity at all levels will be the next step toward the design of intelligent devices for the edge.","PeriodicalId":100636,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Solid-State Circuits Magazine","volume":"16 4","pages":"62-69"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142636415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
