To simulate such systems, it is necessary to use optoelectronic models of the behavior of the photodetectors. The most used photodetectors in CMOS technologies are vertical photodiodes, but for specific applications, lateral photodiodes are needed. Vertical photodiodes can be described by one dimensional models but in lateral photodiode, bidimensional effects appear. Therefore a physical two dimensional model of lateral photodiode has been developed. An electrical model was defined and physical parameters which take place in this model, were presented. The results were compared to an approximated one dimensional model and show that a two dimensional model is needed to simulate the light response of lateral photodiodes","PeriodicalId":399250,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Design and Test of Integrated Systems in Nanoscale Technology, 2006.

We can obtain high Q factors over 80 at 2.9 GHz. Even, Q-VCO exhibits lower phase noise performance for a given power dissipation. From a carrier at 2.9 GHz, dissipating 2.4 mA under a 2.5 V power supply and 1V tuning voltage, simulated phase noise results are -1.36 dBc/Hz at an offset of 100 kHz.

This study presents two generic globally asynchronous locally synchronous (GALS) NoC architectures called GHXPolygon (for generic extended polygon) and GHXSpidergon (for generic extended spidergon). These architectures are inspired respectively from the GeNOC and Octagon NoC of TIMA laboratory, and the Spidergon called also STNoC, of STMicroelectronics. GEXSpidergon and GHXPolygon architectures are based on a central router responsible to transfers urgent messages and used in the case of clogging of the close router towards the destination. It comprises multiple interconnected input and output ports and dynamic arbitration mechanisms that resolve any output port conflicts based on the messages priorities. The proposed router is based on a wormhole commutation technique and the adaptive routing with an efficient path fetching algorithm based on finite state machine to avoid deadlock problems. Handshaking and aloha protocols are implemented on each router to guarantee the inter routers communication. The proposed router can be also used with other NoC architectures such as the tree and the mesh topologies The functionalities correctness have been verified by using a traffic generation VHDL based strategy","PeriodicalId":399250,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Design and Test of Integrated Systems in Nanoscale Technology, 2006.

The focus is on the inverters used in multiphase clock-generator circuits (CGCs) commonly needed for switched-capacitor (SC) sigma-delta (SigmaDelta) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). Closed form expressions relating timing jitter and PSN are presented and the results are compared with Monte-Carlo simulations performed in Spectre at BSIM3v3 transistor model level using the processes AMS 0.35mum and UMC 0.18mum. The PSN is assumed to have a white frequency distribution with independent power and ground noise. The results show that the transformation process is approximately linear and that the jitter impact decreases as transistors move deeper into the submicron domain. Furthermore, the transformation process is not symmetrical and is dependent on switching direction, even if the PMOS and NMOS sizings are such that the effects due to difference in hole and electron mobility are mitigated","PeriodicalId":399250,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Design and Test of Integrated Systems in Nanoscale Technology, 2006.
