It occupies 0.02mm2, and achieves 0.04°C resolution and ±2°C accuracy from 20°C to 95°C after a single temperature trim. This performance is enabled by the use of dynamic threshold MOSFETs as temperature sensing devices, and by using chopping and trimming to mitigate the effects of device mismatch and process spread. The sensor consumes 9uW at a conversion rate of 7-kHz and a resolution of 50mK, which corresponds to a resolution FoM of 3.2pJK2. When used to control the self-refresh period of an 8GB mobile DRAM, the sensor reduces its standby current by 7x over a 20°C to 95°C range.","PeriodicalId":11845,"journal":{"name":"ESSCIRC Conference 2015 - 41st European Solid-State Circuits Conference (ESSCIRC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90302662","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}

By dynamically triggering a dummy final retiming stage, the signal-dependent induced pattern for the switching time of the DAC current source cells is broken. The immediate effect is the significant distortion reduction (IM3 improves up to 15 dB), especially for narrowband signals. Thus, the full linearity potential of these transmitters is achieved by an IM3 of -73 dBc at 1 GHz for only 2 MHz tone spacing. With minimal design optimizations, the overall DAC power consumption increase due to the dummy triggering is limited to only 10%. Two latest generation (40 nm and 28 nm) high-speed wide-band DAC-based wireline transmitters have been used as test vehicles for verifying this technique.","PeriodicalId":11845,"journal":{"name":"ESSCIRC Conference 2015 - 41st European Solid-State Circuits Conference (ESSCIRC)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78273667","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}
