A 5-stage CIC filter is used to reduce area and power consumption, and the decimation rate is configurable to achieve different output data rates from 7.8125Hz -1000Hz. The default decimation rate is 256, and the corresponding output data rate is 1000Hz. The amplifier chopping technology and sampling capacitor chopping technology are used to reduce the influence of low-frequency noise and DC offset and improve the overall performance. The ADC is implemented by tsmc 0.18μm CMOS process. According to the chip test results, when the power supply voltage is 5V and the data rate is 1000Hz, the noise of the ADC is 2.23μVRMS, and the data rate is 7.8125Hz, the noise of the ADC is 0.16μVRMS, and the current consumption of the analog modulator circuit is about 220μA.","PeriodicalId":233584,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 14th International Conference on ASIC (ASICON)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123423842","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}

However, the quantity of network parameters in these methods also grows rapidly, thus making them difficult for training and deployment on resource-limited platforms. In this paper, we propose a Scale Recurrent Generative Network (SRGN), in which a new scale recurrent structure is raised and deployed on top of the general learning-based inpainting methods. The scale recurrent procedure stores the context information in different scales to achieve better memorability while keeping the network parameters in the same order of magnitude. To add the iterations on scale dimension, we combine max pooling and average pooling in the downsampling procedure and introduce scale factor in the loss function. The qualitative and quantitative comparisons on the Places2 dataset show that the texture and detail of our generated image are significantly improved in comparison with peer works.","PeriodicalId":233584,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 14th International Conference on ASIC (ASICON)","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124504913","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 adjusting the injection sequence of carrier stored (CS) layer, the injection efficiency of the CS layer has been significantly improved, and the trade-off of on-state voltage drop (Von) and collector saturation current (ICsat) has been almost fully optimized. TCAD simulation results show that the ICsat and Von of the CSTBT with optimized process are reduced by 19.7% and 15.1%, respectively. Additionally, comparing the CSTBT with the same Von under the two processes, the ICsat and turn-off time of the CSTBT with optimized process are reduced by 76.1% and 7.8%, respectively. Besides, after the process optimization, the gate trench depth of the device can be further reduced. Result shows shallower gate trench can offer larger design freedom for obtaining excellent trade-off relationship between turn-off loss (Eoff) and Von. Therefore, this process optimization method is an attractive solution for power electronics applications.","PeriodicalId":233584,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 14th International Conference on ASIC (ASICON)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124814504","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}

The enhanced SSCP consists an input stage, the current mirrors, and an output stage for selecting the effective period, which is highlighted in this paper. The function of the SSCP is to convert the voltage sampled by the Sub-Sampling Phase Detector (SSPD) into current signal and then charge the Loop Filter (LF). Unlike the traditional SSCP, whose output stage is a simple switch array, the proposed SSCP output stage includes a capacitor and customized switches. By charging the capacitor and then charging the LF by the capacitor, the deviation of the output voltage existed at the rising edge of the reference clock is eliminated, thus the frequency drift is suppressed. To verify the advantages of the proposed SSCP, a complete Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) based on 180nm process was built.
