Based on the measurement data of TFET device published, we have for the first time drawn the Q line of the new designed CMOS compared with the conventional CMOS to verify its feasibility. The static power consumption of it can be optimized and reduced to 4.6E–8 A, and all of the logic operations are correct and have enough swing for manipulating its following operation. Due to its unique structure and the output node being shared by the load and the driver, the integration density of it can be reduced dramatically. The area benefit thus more than 58.5% has been achieved compared with the conventional CMOS layout. In addition, the delay time is improved more than 63%.","PeriodicalId":412093,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Symposium on Next Generation Electronics","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129793221","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}

Design concepts of capacitor averaging and sorting techniques are employed to mitigate the error effect of capacitor mismatch. Moreover, the sorted capacitors and digital-to-digital converter (DAC) voltages in a 2.5-bit multiplying analog-to-digital converter (MDAC) are well configured to further enhance the linearity of the pipelined ADC. Only slight circuit modification of an MDAC and minor additional digital circuits are required for a pipelined ADC with the proposed technique. Simulation results demonstrate that dynamic and static performances of a 14-bit 2.5-bit/stage pipelined ADCs are improved significantly compared with previous techniques.","PeriodicalId":412093,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Symposium on Next Generation Electronics","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126280670","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 virtual platform uses QEMU as the instruction-accurate instruction set simulator (IA-ISS) and is capable of running a full-fledged operating system such as Linux. The proposed interface enables the hardware modeled in SystemC to access hardware modeled in QEMU; thus, it can be used to facilitate the co-design of diverse hardware models and device drivers at the early stage of Electronic System Level (ESL) design flow. Our experimental results—of using Direct Memory Access Controller (DMAC) with two master ports and one slave port as an example—show that the proposed interface makes it possible for migrating hardware models from QEMU to SystemC and for cross verifying the hardware models and device drivers. Moreover, the virtual platform is capable of providing instruction-accurate statistics, thus making it easy for evaluating the performance of the hardware models and for design space exploration.","PeriodicalId":412093,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Symposium on Next Generation Electronics","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121880128","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}
