Measured DNL and INL are -0.59/0.67 LSB and -1.2/1.33 LSB respectively. At sampling rate of 100-kS/s with 1.8-V supply, the ADC consumes only 2-μW power and achieves a SNDR of 64.42-dB, SFDR of 71.2-dB resulting in an FoM of 14-fJ/Conversion-step.

This provides a unity gain bandwidth (UGB) greater than 1MHz and phase margin greater than 60° for the range of loads mentioned above. The circuit has a 100uW of DC power dissipation for a 2V supply. The proposed technique uses two compensation capacitances of 1pf and 500fF only. The design achieves a unity gain bandwidth of 9.227MHz at 500pF capacitive load.

While recent studies on split manufacturing have focused on graph theoretic algorithms to effect a minimum cut split, none of them have discussed the effect of circuit performance due to the splitting. In this paper we show that split manufacturing has an adverse effect on power supply requirement, if circuit performance metrics have to stay the same before and after splitting. In particular, we have shown that multiple power supplies are necessary if circuit performance metrics have to be satisfied before and after the splitting procedure.","PeriodicalId":328401,"journal":{"name":"2016 International Conference on VLSI Systems, Architectures, Technology and Applications (VLSI-SATA)","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124632973","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 compass contains complete 2-axis sensors, analog, and digital electronics and also contains all the firmware for heading computation and calibration. The rotation encoder is an electromechanical device which obtains the angular position of the motor shaft it is connected to and then converts this position into some analog or digital value.
