The architecture is based on fractional-order elements implemented with both active and passive components, offering an accurate transfer function behavior between 10kHz and 1MHz. The high-level architecture includes an analog all-pass filter coupled with a current conveyor. Performance and accuracy of the proposed architecture is confirmed via Monte-Carlo simulation. The proposed circuitry has been designed in TSMC 90nm CMOS process and simulated using the Cadence IC suite.","PeriodicalId":243968,"journal":{"name":"2020 32nd International Conference on Microelectronics (ICM)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127626945","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}

Dynamic and leakage power consumption in VLSI systems are effectively reduced by ultra-low voltage operation, being that the maximum energy efficiency is achieved at supply voltage below 0.5V. Feedback-controlled analog LDO based on an operational amplifier can fail if it operates at sub/near-threshold voltage. Digital LDOs have potential to replace the analog circuits in the feedback loop for a digital equivalent, which enables ultra-low voltage operation. An efficiency peak of 98%, an steady-state error lower than 7mVp was achieved by post-layout simulations for a load current range from 100μA to 1.25mA.","PeriodicalId":243968,"journal":{"name":"2020 32nd International Conference on Microelectronics (ICM)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128565877","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}
