The monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) are designed for a wide range of applications, ranging from an on-chip GaAs Dicke radiometer at 1.4 GHz for non-invasive internal body temperature measurements, to a transmit-receive GaN chip from 75-110 GHz with about 1W of maximum output power and a minimum noise figure of 4.2 dB in transmit and receive mode, respectively. Several other circuits are briefly discussed, e.g. high-efficiency transmitters for high peak-to-average ratio (PAPR) signals and rectifying arrays for wireless power reception.","PeriodicalId":100636,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Solid-State Circuits Magazine","volume":"16 4","pages":"70-75"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142636414","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}

Three decades later the “couldn’t this be done on a DSP?” question, or its related question “couldn’t this be done on a digital computing IC?”, has been definitively addressed with a resounding No for several implementations. This paper addresses how end-to-end analog computing system demonstrates this increased efficiency over digital computing systems. These computations are possible entirely in a standard CMOS process using Floating-Gate (FG) devices available in any CMOS IC process. The efficiency is both at the computational circuit level, as well as at the architecture level. The first crossbar and single-transistor synapse concept appeared 30 years ago. The definitive demonstration of Mead’s energy efficiency hypothesis appeared 20 years ago, and before that demonstration was the start of Compute in Memory (CiM) as well as the start of a large-scale FPAA with FG-enabled connections. Analog computing opportunities in Standard CMOS IC processes can provide many opportunities for the wider commercial market.","PeriodicalId":100636,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Solid-State Circuits Magazine","volume":"16 4","pages":"32-40"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142636232","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}
