Nowadays, PPG sensing technology at the wrist is well established. To cope with the large degree of motion turbulence presented at the wrist, PPG sensors use Green (Gr) LEDs together with multiple photodiodes (PD), and they are driven by wide-dynamic-range (DR) current-sensing front-ends [1]. It is attractive to use a near-infra-red (nIR) PPG sensor in a True Wireless Stereo (TWS), as the ear provides the best site to measure heart rhythm (more blood flow, constant distance from the heart, and less motion than at the finger or wrist). However, TWS requires a PPG sensor that is more stringent on size and power consumption (shown in Fig. 28.2.1). A promising solution [2, 3] is integrating an array of PDs with an ADC to dramatically reduce power while also providing monolithic integration. However, the limited DR (<80 dB) and the poor spectral responsivity remain challenging. This work advances [1] by demonstrating a CMOS monolithic PPG sensor, and improves spectral responsivity more than $4 times (0.3mathrm{A} /mathrm{W}$ across 400 to 1000nm) compared to [2]. The sensor is fabricated by back-side illumination (BSI) CMOS technology providing 90dB DR (18dB improvement from [3]) while consuming only $24 mu mathrm{W}$ power and 5.5mm 2 silicon area.","PeriodicalId":371093,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Solid- State Circuits Conference (ISSCC)","volume":"248 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124723581","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}

IMC achieves high energy efficiency and throughput for matrix-vector multiplications (MVMs), which dominate NNs; but, scalability poses numerous challenges, both technologically, going to advanced nodes to maintain gains over digital architectures, and architecturally, for full execution of diverse NNs. Recent demonstrations have explored integrating IMC in programmable processors [1, 2], but have not achieved IMC efficiency and throughput for full executions. The central challenge is drastically different physical design points and associated tradeoffs incurred by IMC compared to digital engines. Namely, IMC substantially increases compute energy efficiency and HW density/parallelism, but retains the overheads of HW virtualization (state and data swapping/buffering/communication across spatial/temporal computation mappings). The demonstrated architecture is co-designed with SW-mapping algorithms (encapsulated in a custom graph compiler), to provide efficiency across a broad range of mapping strategies, to overcome these overheads.","PeriodicalId":371093,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Solid- State Circuits Conference (ISSCC)","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129357852","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}

Furthermore, fin formation differences between the SRAM bitcells, the peripheral circuits and the standard logic degrade area efficiency due to the empty spaces at fin-to-fin boundary and the required dummy [1]. Memories with small capacities that use the classical SRAM design suffer from this issue the most. In this paper, we will propose a 5nm digital-based SRAM macro with a 16T cell supporting a bit-write-mask operation. We adopted the standard cell rules for the proposed SRAM layout design. The area of the 16T cell is larger than the foundry’s 6T SRAM cell; however, the total macro area of a small capacity SRAM is smaller since there is no empty space in the macro and due to its simple peripheral circuit. In addition, the proposed SRAM can be directly abutted with the standard cell region. The proposed SRAM can support ultra-wide range voltage operation due to the advantages of a digital-based bitcell design.","PeriodicalId":371093,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Solid- State Circuits Conference (ISSCC)","volume":"03 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127396733","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}

Large-chirp-bandwidth ($BW_{chirp})$ sawtooth waveforms are required to be synthesized with fast slope and high-frequency linearity for accurate detection of targets or high-quality imaging. Fractional-N phase-locked loops (PLLs) with a two-point-modulation (TPM) scheme are widely used to synthesize fast high-linearity chirps [1] –[3]. However, for a wideband multi-bank digitally controlled oscillator (DCO), the intrinsic $1/ surd Lmathrm{C}$ nonlinearity and the frequency discontinuity from overlaps between adjacent tuning bands introduce a significant gain mismatch between the two modulation paths of the TPM scheme and degrade the chirp linearity [3], [5]. To linearize the DCO tuning curve, a piecewise linear pre-distortion method is commonly used as shown in Fig. 32.5.1 [3]. In this method, the overlaps are mitigated by scaling every band with the same factor SC, which is based on the assumption that ratios of each DCO tuning band to the corresponding coarse frequency step remain the same. In practice, precise matching between these bands cannot be guaranteed. Each tuning band is then linearly fitted with its average gain $g_{i}$, but non-ideal residual frequency errors may still deteriorate the chirp linearity. As a DCO bandwidth increases, the mismatches and residual frequency errors tend to be more severe, making this method unsuitable for wideband FMCW synthesizers.","PeriodicalId":371093,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Solid- State Circuits Conference (ISSCC)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127519848","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}

To that end, image sensor vendors have tried to find new ways to avoid reduction in sensitivity and more crosstalk in the sensor through pixel architecture change and/or fabrication process refinement [2] –[4]. For example, a $0.7 mu m$ pixel sensor was demonstrated with acceptable photodiode (PD) full-well capacity (FWC) of $gt 6$,000e- as well as signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of $sim32$ dB without optical/electrical crosstalk by employing state-of-the-art full-depth deep-trench isolations (FDTIs). [4] However, further scaling requires elaborate fabrication innovation and layout ideas. At the same time, meeting every aspect of pixel performance compared to the previous generation becomes even more difficult, e.g., with respect to dark or illuminated characteristics, fixed-pattern or temporal noises, etc. The latter, in particular, is associated with in-pixel source-follower (SF) amplifiers. Therefore, electrical performance of scaled in-pixel transistors cannot be overlooked. In this paper, a 32-megpixel (MP) CIS with $0.64 mu m$ unit pixels is demonstrated with FDTI design. Innovations in terms of fabrication and design to achieve this performance with scaling are discussed.","PeriodicalId":371093,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Solid- State Circuits Conference (ISSCC)","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129966254","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}

QCs process information stored in quantum bits (qubits) that must be typically cooled down to cryogenic temperatures.

However, practical QCs will require more than thousands of qubits, making this approach impractical due to system complexity and reliability concerns. Although frequency multiplexing would reduce the interconnects to room temperature by fitting many qubit channels in the same physical interconnect, an excessive number of interconnects would still be required. An alternative, more scalable solution is a cryogenic electronic interface operating very close to the quantum processor to keep the whole control loop at cryogenic temperature, hence avoiding any high-speed interconnect to room temperature. This system must comprise drivers, readout circuits (LNAs, ADCs), and a digital controller to steer the quantum-algorithm execution [1].

Super-resolution technology enables high-resolution video streaming, image zoom-in, and far object recognition. Fig. 4.7.1 shows such an application scenario. The details of the videos/images can be reconstructed and projected to a higher-resolution screen, thereby providing a better visual experience. A hardware accelerator is needed to speed up the super-resolution process to support real-time high-resolution video streaming. Conventionally, dictionary-based approaches, such as ANR/GR [1] and A+ [2], convert the LR image into the HR one from learned mapping functions. Neural network (NN)-based algorithms generate better-quality super-resolution images by extracting features from training [3]. However, the complexity of the dictionary-based and the NN-based algorithms is excessively high, making them unsuitable for high-speed applications [4]. A rapid and accurate image super resolution (RAISR) algorithm [4] is proposed to achieve comparable quality with a much faster processing speed when compared to the previous solutions. It employs pre-learned filters to enhance the image quality based on bicubic interpolation. A pre-learned filter (also known as kernel) is selected by a hash function to address the structure-related details.","PeriodicalId":371093,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Solid- State Circuits Conference (ISSCC)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127840027","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}
