The objective is to simultaneously minimize the source-to-terminal delay and the total wirelength. First, a top-down partitioning method is used to divide the chip into four sub-regions according to the position of the source. Then, the terminals in each sub-region are connected by a fast sequential routing tree algorithm. The major steps of the routing algorithm include minimal spanning tree constructing, invalid edges pushing and routing. It shows experimentally that the maximum source-to-terminal delay of the routing tree is improved by 74%. Compared to previous results, total wirelength is significantly reduced by 34.7%.","PeriodicalId":256061,"journal":{"name":"2007 50th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132316025","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 paper discusses the effect of four different input matching methodologies on the gain of narrow-band LNAs. Measurement results of two LNAs fabricated in a 0.18 mum CMOS technology are also presented. Two ultra-wideband (UWB) LNA designs that aim for low- voltage and low-power operation are also discussed in this paper. The UWB LNAs consume a power of 5.8 mW from a 0.8 V supply voltage, while achieving a maximum gain of 12.5 dB and an input matching better than -10 dB from 2-10 GHz with a NF of 3.5 dB. A fully integrated, 2.4 GHz class-E PA, with a class-F driver stage is also discussed in this work, demonstrating the feasibility of using CMOS class-E PAs for low-transmit power applications. The circuit was fabricated in a standard 0.18 mum CMOS technology with a maximum drain efficiency of 53%. When operating from a 1.2 V supply, the PA delivers an output power of 14.5 mW with a power-added efficiency (PAE) of 51%. The supply voltage can go down to 0.6 V with an output power of 3.5 mW and a PAE of 43%. Finally, the paper also discusses a simple transmitter and receiver front-end, in addition to a single-block simplified, low- power PLL transmitter design.","PeriodicalId":256061,"journal":{"name":"2007 50th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130871886","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 technique allows a pure standard cell based design which is inherently area, power and design time efficient compared to existing solutions proposed in the literature. The proposed design employs a statistical random sampling technique to measure and correct the duty cycle of a clock to produce source synchronous signals and to adjust the phase of the incoming strobe to correctly capture data. The proposed circuits are used to interface Samsung K4T51163QB_D5 DDR2 chips to a massively parallel processing logic ASIC chip, targeted to IBM Cu-08 90 nm technology. The proposed design is a fully digital solution based on standard cell components and does not require any custom designed component. This makes it extremely design time efficient and portable across most ASIC and FPGA technologies.","PeriodicalId":256061,"journal":{"name":"2007 50th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130922816","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}

It is also used to evaluate the gradient, Jacobian or Hessian matrices in analog computer aided design. In (Zhu and Opal, 2006) the authors presented a Volterra series based sensitivity analysis of mildly nonlinear circuits in the frequency domain. This sensitivity calculation can be expensive in certain circumstances because of multiple mixing effects (Zhu, 2007). In this paper, we propose the concept of nonlinear transfer matrix (NTM) to improve computational efficiency.

We propose use of differential ring oscillators (DRO) for thermal sensing, utilizing the temperature dependence of the oscillation frequency. In current starved inverter topology using the 45 nm technology node, they have a resolution of 2degC and a low active power consumption of less than 25 muW which can be reduced further by 60-80% by gating the design. A high threshold design proves to be better in terms of leakage, non-linearity error, overall power consumption as well as sensitivity to power supply variations. The standard deviation in measurement (%) caused by process variations and supply noise is within 3% for low Vt design; it increases to 5% for a high Vt design. In a reduced supply bounce configuration, the measurement error caused due to supply noise can be reduced by 15-60%.","PeriodicalId":256061,"journal":{"name":"2007 50th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126628249","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}

Contrary to the older technology generations, the speed of standard zero-body-biased circuits in a 32 nm CMOS technology is enhanced when the temperature is increased at the nominal supply voltage. The enhancement of circuit speed provides new opportunities to lower the energy consumed by active circuits at elevated temperatures. Temperature-adaptive supply and threshold voltage tuning techniques are proposed in this paper to reduce the high temperature active mode energy consumption without degrading the circuit speed. Results indicate that the energy consumption can be lowered by up to 21% by dynamically scaling the supply voltage at elevated temperatures. An alternative technique based on temperature-adaptive reverse body-bias exponentially reduces the leakage currents as well as the parasitic junction capacitances of the MOSFETs. The temperature-adaptive threshold voltage tuning through reverse body-bias yields an active mode energy reduction by up to 29.8% as compared to the standard zero body-biased circuits at high temperatures.","PeriodicalId":256061,"journal":{"name":"2007 50th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems","volume":"369 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126707519","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}
