The automatic DC-Offset cancellation block consists of one voltage comparator, one 5-bit R-2R auxiliary DAC and a SAR digital block. The proposed DC-Offset cancellation works during power-on sequence, then stores the value of control word in registers and shuts down the comparator and SAR block to save power after the cancellation operation. Unlike other methods, the proposed method has no influence on the desired signal, and does not disturb the work of transceiver. The proposed block is fabricated in 0.13um CMOS process as one sub-block of a RF transceiver. It occupies only 100um * 200um active area, and consumes only 100uA current under 1.2 V power supply. It is a low-cost solution for cancelling DC-Offset voltage both in receivers and transmitters.","PeriodicalId":382098,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on ASIC","volume":"16 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":"116809758","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 accelerate temperature-aware floorplanning with fixed die area and unchanged heat dissipation system, this work proposes a novel architecture-level TA method PS-BloTAM. It first uses HotSpot to build the pre-sampling thermal resistance (TR) matrix S with a sampling block array. Then, according to size and position of modules in the given floorplanning solution, PS-BloTAM analytically computes this given floorplan's TR matrix R with S. Finally temperatures of modules in different working modes can be easily estimated with previous R. Adopting traditional idea of design library, PS-BloTAM is able to efficiently compute temperature distributions of numerous floor-plans. Experiments show that comparing with HotSpot, PS-BloTAM achieves 43X speedup with average and maximum errors less than 1.65% and 6.64% respectively.","PeriodicalId":382098,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on ASIC","volume":"73 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":"127642220","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 found that there is an effect enhancement for the combination of the decoupling resistors and capacitors in increasing the SEU linear energy transfer (LET) threshold of the cell, compared with the sum of the SEU LET threshold increments resulting from the corresponding resistors and capacitors, respectively. Also, with the product of the resistance r and capacitance c being constant, a larger r produces a higher SEU LET threshold.
