The power consumption of the /spl mu/P has been reduced by scaling down the supply voltage. The whole system has been implemented using a 0.35/spl mu/m CMOS process that features low-threshold voltages for MOS devices to maintain the speed performance. The /spl mu/P can be set in idle mode to further reduce the overall power consumption. To allow fast recovery from the /spl mu/P idle mode, the PLL runs continuously during this mode. Therefore, the power consumption of the PLL has to be minimized. To obtain the highest performance from the /spl mu/P, the output jitter of the PLL has to be as low as possible. The power switching noise generated by the running /spl mu/P directly affects the output jitter of the on-chip PLL. In summary, the challenge was to design a PLL which combines limited jitter, low-supply voltage and low-power consumption.","PeriodicalId":162539,"journal":{"name":"1996 IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference.

Concurrent processing of analog signals results in power and/or speed advantages over flash and multistep ADC architectures. While self-calibration techniques reduce the effects of component mismatches, the digital crosstalk due to correction circuitry can degrade the noise and linearity performance of the overall converter. Previous pipeline ADCs achieve high speed and high resolution, but with the digital circuitry off chip. This 16 b 1 MSample/s pipeline ADC with on-chip digital correction circuitry operates on a single SV analog supply. Problems due to digital crosstalk and solutions reducing its effects are presented. Reduction of integral non-linearity (INL) errors due to capacitor voltage coefficient are discussed.","PeriodicalId":162539,"journal":{"name":"1996 IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference.

Currently large systems, 64 processing nodes and above, can require multiple cabinets to house all their electronic equipment. This low-density packaging not only leads to expensive systems but also suffers from increased latency, skew, and other physical problems that limit overall performance. As thermal management schemes have progressed there is a growing trend to package more electronics into smaller physical volumes. The result is the integration of more processing nodes (PN) per integrated circuit, more PNs per printed circuit board (PCB), and more PCBs per shelf. This necessary hardware compression leads to an interconnect bottleneck at the backplane. One approach to overcome these interconnection limitations of electrical backplanes is to exploit the temporal and spatial bandwidth available with the free-space optical technology. A free-space optical backplane is composed of a large number of optically interconnected smart pixel arrays (SPAs). A smart pixel is an optoelectronic device that combines optical inputs and/or outputs with electronic processing circuitry, and is capable of being integrated into two-dimensional arrays. In an intelligent optical backplane, the SPAs control the flow of information between the PCBs.","PeriodicalId":162539,"journal":{"name":"1996 IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference.
