Pipelined ADC suffers from finite nonlinear gain in amplifiers, ratio mismatch in capacitors, and errors in voltage references. Most calibration schemes do not account for reference voltage errors or nonlinearity in amplifiers, which introduce severe distortion in pipelined ADCs designed in a deep-submicron and nanometer-scale digital CMOS process. The proposed digital calibration scheme uses an insignificant, low-speed, low-power, high-resolution sigma-delta ADC to estimate a set of digital error-correction parameters in background using an adaptive LMS algorithm. The technique is shown to correct all static errors within a single framework - finite amplifier gain, capacitor ratio mismatch, voltage reference errors and amplifier nonlinearity. The scheme is demonstrated for a 14-bit A/D converter intended for speeds higher than 100Msample/s.","PeriodicalId":184894,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International SOC Conference, 2004.

Addressing this issue, this paper presents a low-power power-aware scalable pipelined Booth multiplier that makes use of the sharing common functional unit, ensemble of optimized Wallace-trees and a 4-bit array-based adder-tree for DSP applications. Our multiplier detects the input operands for their dynamic range and accordingly implements a 16-bit, 8-bit or 4-bit multiplication operation. \"The multiplication mode is determined by the dynamic-range detection unit, which generates and dispatches the control signals for the pipeline stages. For the 8-bit and 4-bit computations, the proposed Booth multiplier leads to a 29% and 58% power consumption reduction over a non-scalable Booth multiplier, respectively. The proposed scalable pipelined Booth multiplier proves to be globally 20% more power efficient than a non-scalable pipelined Booth multiplier, and also it has fast speed due to pipelining.","PeriodicalId":184894,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International SOC Conference, 2004.

Efficient implementation of turbo codes has significant impact on the power efficiency of mobile systems. Especially, as the need for software defined radio (SDR) system is growing, the appropriate selection of DSP processors becomes an important design issue. In this work, we show that using a processor that operates using the logarithmic number system is more power efficient for executing the turbo codes than traditional fixed point and floating point processors. Further, we modify the Logarithmic Number System (LNS) processor to support less accurate addition to reduce power consumed by max*, an important operation performed during turbo decoding. Our simulation shows that this optimization reduces the power consumption of turbo coding by 27.6% with negligible impact on the signal to noise ratio.","PeriodicalId":184894,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International SOC Conference, 2004.
