Presently, cellular physiology diagnoses rely on high-resolution medical imaging and when translated to a cellular/tissue-level, these images, albeit with different biomarkers, may not holistically characterize a pathogen's effect due to the cell's complex multi-physiological responses [3]. In particular, new pathogen/virus variants often exhibit unknown pathological effects on cellular physiological functions. Hence, desired digital physiology cellular platforms should support sensing a wide variety of cells under different conditions, including those with rapid physiological features, e.g., neuron/cardiac cells.","PeriodicalId":6830,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Solid- State Circuits Conference (ISSCC)","volume":"231 1","pages":"202-204"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76437849","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}

Small area and low power are both critical for these applications due to increasing battery life and shrinking form-factors. Flicker noise poses an issue for such systems although the use of well-known techniques in state-of-the-art designs such as chopper stabilization [1]–[2] are often sufficient for its mitigation. Alternatively, the pseudo-pseudo-differential (PPD) architecture [3] has demonstrated flicker cancellation through the use of single-ended circuits although area and power savings promised by this technique remain undemonstrated. This paper presents a DT single-loop DSM audio ADC utilizing a single-ended ring-amplifier-based integrator to achieve 108.8dB DR with 203.5µW power consumption within a compact area of 0.0375mm2.

In [3], the Class-AB amplifier is replaced by a more power-efficient Class-D amplifier (CDA) in series with an additional inductor. However, a series resistor is still required to damp the resulting LC resonant circuit, which could otherwise draw excessive currents when excited by large-signal distortion (e.g. clipping) harmonics around the LC resonance frequency. Alternatively, by using a feed-forward architecture based on LC filter diagnostics to limit overshoot currents, the series resistor can be replaced by a second inductor, at the expense of increased system complexity and cost [4].","PeriodicalId":6830,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Solid- State Circuits Conference (ISSCC)","volume":"7 1","pages":"1-3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88355582","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}

This can be done by canceling the predicted instantaneous time offset between the frequency reference (FREF) and the variable oscillator-clock (CKV) edges prior to the PD. There are currently two main cancellation strategies. The first is to align FREF and CKV by inserting a digital-to-time converter (DTC) on either path. However, due to the DTC nonlinearity and its susceptibility to PVT variations, the PLL can suffer from large fractional spurs. Although system-level techniques, e.g., background calibration [1], supply ripple reduction [2], and DTC code randomization [3], can partially alleviate these DTC issues, the overall system complexity worsens. The second method is to convert and cancel the predicted time offset in the voltage domain [4]. This arrangement is less sensitive to PVT variations. However, the accuracy of the time-to-voltage conversion relies on the strict trade-offs between the power consumption, noise, and linearity of a current source. In this work, we introduce a third solution based on a time-mode arithmetic unit (TAU), which outputs a weighted sum of time delays between the (falling) edges of FREF and CKV, as well as between two consecutive CKV edges. Compared with DTC-based solutions, it is less sensitive to PVT variations, as its output merely varies by the ratio of RC time constants, thus ensuring low fractional spurs with no extra system complexity. Compared to the voltage-domain solutions, the absence of a current source is beneficial for phase-noise optimization and migration to more advanced technology nodes. Moreover, TAU can implicitly provide a time-amplification (TA) gain, thus further suppressing the noise of subsequent blocks.","PeriodicalId":6830,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Solid- State Circuits Conference (ISSCC)","volume":"29 1","pages":"380-382"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82677274","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}

However, these tasks are often implemented using multiple cameras due to divergent requirements, resulting in increases in form factor. Higher resolutions and frame rates are required to take pictures and video, while lower resolutions and frame rates are preferred especially for always-on computer vision to save power. To reduce the form factor, this paper presents a single-chip solution where both high-resolution viewing images and lower-resolution computer vision images are generated from one CMOS Image sensor (CIS). Full field-of-view programmable image resolutions are made possible with floating-diffusion (FD) binning through serial switches. In-frame dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) is applied to minimize power at lower pixel resolutions and frame rates. 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 and 1/192 binning modes are demonstrated using a $2560(mathsf{H})times 1920(mathsf{V})$ pixel array that, at 1fps, consumes $790mumathsf{W}$ for full-color VGA and 120µW for motion-detection (MD) mode.","PeriodicalId":6830,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Solid- State Circuits Conference (ISSCC)","volume":"190 1","pages":"104-106"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79559563","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}
