The PMR employs passive integrators in parallel to simultaneously integrate the average result of the multiple sequential residual voltages. The proposed PMR technique provides an alternative scheme to enhance the NS rather than increasing the order of the integrator to suppress the instability and power. A prototype 7-bit second-order NS-SAR ADC is designed and simulated in a 130-nm CMOS process. PMR increases the effective number of bits (ENOBs) to 10.6 bit, which enhances the NS effect of 3.6 bit.

It consists of three main approaches that are separated based on the distance calculation circuit (DCC) and, more specifically; Euclidean distance, Sigmoid function, and Squarer circuits. The main building blocks of each approach are the DCC and the current comparator (CC). The operational principles of the architecture are extensively elucidated and put into practice through a power-efficient configuration (operating less than 650 nW) within a low-voltage setup (0.6 V). Each specific implementation is tested on a brain tumor classification task achieving more than 96.00% classification accuracy. The designs are realized using a 90-nm CMOS process and developed utilizing the Cadence IC Suite for both schematic and physical design. Through a comparative analysis of postlayout simulation outcomes with an equivalent software-based classifier and related works, the accuracy of the applied modeling and design methodologies is validated.","PeriodicalId":13425,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Systems","volume":"32 11","pages":"1969-1982"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142194475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this method imposes a significant area and power/energy overhead. Also, the majority-based voter in the typical TMR designs is highly sensitive to soft errors and the design diversity of the triplicated module, which may result in an error for a small difference between the output of the TMR modules. However, a wide range of applications deployed in critical systems are inherently error-resilient, that is, they can tolerate some inexact results at their output while having a given level of reliability. In this article, we propose a high precision redundancy multiplier (HPR-Mul) that relies on the principles of approximate computing to achieve higher energy efficiency and lower area, as well as resolve the aforementioned challenges of the typical TMR schemes, while retaining the required level of reliability. The HPR-Mul is composed of full precision (FP) and two reduced precision (RP) multipliers, along with a simple voter to determine the output. Unlike the state-of-the-art RP redundancy multipliers (RPR-Muls) that require a complex voter, the voter of the proposed HPR-Mul is designed based on mathematical formulas resulting in a simpler structure. Furthermore, we use the intermediate signals of the FP multiplier as the inputs of the RP multipliers, which significantly enhance the accuracy of the HPR-Mul. The efficiency of the proposed HPR-Mul is evaluated in a 15-nm FinFET technology, where the results show up to 70% and 69% lower power consumption and area, respectively, compared to the typical TMR-based multipliers. Also, the HPR-Mul outperforms the state-of-the-art RPR-Mul by achieving up to 84% higher soft error tolerance. Moreover, by employing the HPR-Mul in different image processing applications, up to 13% higher output image quality is achieved in comparison with the state-of-the-art RPR multipliers.","PeriodicalId":13425,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Systems","volume":"32 11","pages":"2012-2022"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142194479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
