The transitional supply current and the power fluctuation of each logic style are compared in order to verify the logic ability for resistance against side-channel analysis attacks in cryptographic hardware implementation. The full custom layout is designed in cadence virtuoso IC6.1 with the chip size of 172×155 μm2, and the cyclical power consumption of 14 pJ at 12.5 MHz using 0.18 μm CMOS technology for the CSSAL multiplier has achieved, while TDPL has 183 × 173 μm2 of the chip size, and the power consumption is 122.6 pJ which is about nine times higher than the one of the CSSAL. The low-power adiabatic logics are also thoroughly investigated, and the comparative data demonstrate that the proposed CSSAL multiplier has similar performance on power reduction and resistive to thwart side channel analysis at low frequency application.","PeriodicalId":342333,"journal":{"name":"2013 European Conference on Circuit Theory and Design (ECCTD)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126902670","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 circuit controls and reads out five bimolecular sensors as well as pH and temperature sensors for biosensor calibration. The IC supports both chronoamper-ometry (CA) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements, which are commonly used in biosensing. Different voltage waveforms are generated to control CV by using a single configurable waveform generator and programmable constant voltage levels are produced to enable CA. To reduce the area and power consumption of the interface electronics, a unified circuit is designed for CV, CA and pH readout. The biosensors produce currents that are converted by a 13.5-bit sigma delta analog to digital converter. The circuit has been designed and realized in 0.18 μW technology. It consumes 711 μW from a 1.8 V supply voltage, making it suitable for remotely powered and implantable applications.","PeriodicalId":342333,"journal":{"name":"2013 European Conference on Circuit Theory and Design (ECCTD)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129284912","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 skeleton describes the topological structure of a network. The constitutive relation describes the physical properties assigned to its branch set. The behavior of a network is defined as the set of all signal pairs obeying its constitutive relation and both Kirchhoff's laws. Multipoles are introduced as ordered pairs consisting of a network and a family of terminal classes. The terminal classes are disjoint subsets of the node set of the corresponding network. Multiports are defined as multipoles whose terminal classes contain exactly two nodes. Based on these concepts a general theory of the terminal behavior of multipoles is developed.","PeriodicalId":342333,"journal":{"name":"2013 European Conference on Circuit Theory and Design (ECCTD)","volume":"466 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121949725","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}

This paper proposes a novel approach for the linearization of the CS RF-DAC. An output transformer decouples the output from the circuit core and attenuates the voltage swing seen by the RF-DAC current cells. A lumped element model of a transformer is used in calculations and simulations to analyze the performance of the transformer in the Mixing-DAC application, and to select optimal design parameters for high linearity. Verification with a simulation model of an RF-DAC shows that the output related non-linearity (IMD3) of the CS RF-DAC improves with about 14dB when the proposed transformer parameters are used.","PeriodicalId":342333,"journal":{"name":"2013 European Conference on Circuit Theory and Design (ECCTD)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134181601","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 method uses partitioning to divide the original circuit into small parts that can be then approximated accurately with low-order reduced-order models (ROMs). The use of low-order ROMs enables the use of positive-valued macromodels with standard RLCK realization. The coupling is reduced with a two-stage reduction separately for the inductive and capacitive coupling. This allows for efficient sparsification of the coupling effect. The method is verified with test simulations of the 65-nm technology node and is shown to produce good reduction results in terms of CPU speedup and generated error.","PeriodicalId":342333,"journal":{"name":"2013 European Conference on Circuit Theory and Design (ECCTD)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125213700","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}
