Using small signal model of MOS transistor, Kirchhoff's current/voltage law, and the tool of Mathematica, the PSR with DC gain, poles, and zeros of power stage and six kinds of basic amplifiers in LDO is analyzed theoretically, and proved by the simulation of Cadence Spectre. By tabling the PSR of eight Error Amplifier (EA) composite structures of two stages, the best combination of NMOS differential input amplifier (N-DA) + PMOS input common source amplifier (P-CS) is proposed on account of DC PSR property. An LDO containing an EA of the best structure has been designed with TSMC standard 0.35 µm CMOS process. The measurement result of PSR is −75 dB @ 1 kHz. A novel guideline to improve PSR of LDO is proposed and it provides a fresh design idea. Measurement results are in agreement with the analysis also.","PeriodicalId":446584,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE 8th International Conference on ASIC","volume":"118 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123234782","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}

Because of the constant transition rate, the correlation between power consumption and signal values is significantly reduced. However, leakage still occurs in these logic styles caused by the difference of signal delay time. In this paper, a novel Look-Up-Table (LUT) Based Differential Logic (LBDL) is presented. The transition time of LBDL gates are independent of input values, hence the power consumption of LBDL is constant though the signals have different delays. Experimental results indicate that LBDL eliminates most of the leakage, while the performance and area costs are similar to WDDL1.","PeriodicalId":446584,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE 8th International Conference on ASIC","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126531965","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}

In order to avoid the rip-up and reroute which is a time-consuming process after the placement stage, in this paper, we proposed a new two-stage floorplanning approach for congestion optimization. In our approach we use the method of probability-estimation which uses the extended bounding box to evaluate the routing of nets. We also take use of the strategy of cell perturb to eliminate the routing congestion. Further reduction in congestion is obtained by our algorithm which guided by congestion. We have tested our approach on the MCNC benchmark circuits. The experiments show that our algorithms is efficient, stable and can reduce congestion largely. Compared with the traditional congestion-driven floorplanning, our 2-stage approach can alleviate the congestion efficiently in much shorter time.","PeriodicalId":446584,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE 8th International Conference on ASIC","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124966823","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 SCCB strategy is different from the traditional test method, wherein the Test Access Mechanism (TAM) and Scheduling are established as a virtual flattened form.
