The LNA design is based on a common source (CS) cascade amplifier with resistive feedback that is used to do input matching and reduce the noise figure. Source follower and LC series resonances are used to do output matching. The LNA achieves the gain of 17dB ~ 22dB, a noise figure (NF) of 2.23 ~ 2.68 dB at frequency from 0.5 to 3.5 GHz, The DC power consumption is 32.8mW at 1.8 V supply voltage. The LNA is fabricated with TSMC 0.18-μm CMOS process.

Further discussion is needed to clarify the mechanism of this large MR effect.","PeriodicalId":293371,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Meeting for Future of Electron Devices, Kansai (IMFEDK)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131067706","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}

All the device structure is made from silicon single crystal layer on SOI wafer. Two-axis movements of needle-like contactor tip are independently detected by the two independent suspensions. The movement is precisely detected by integrated strain detection circuits. Obtained results from the sensors were carefully analyzed with statistical analysis and FFT, and various objective facts have been made clear. For example, the rougher the feel texture of a paper surface, the lower the mutual relation between the time-domain waveform of surface micro roughness and the corresponding instantaneous frictional force. This is an example of never known knowledge about surface feel of touch, and a lot of information to quantify the sense of touch has been extracted using the tactile sensor in this study.","PeriodicalId":293371,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Meeting for Future of Electron Devices, Kansai (IMFEDK)","volume":"637 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123345575","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}
