Author(s): Xuliang Wang, Xuchen Men, Zhoutong Liu, Wing-Hung Ki, Jin Wei, Yan Wang, Xiaosen Liu

Abstract:

A segment-interlaced switched-capacitor-parallel-inductor (SI-SCPL) converter is proposed to power a wafer-scale computing system and accommodate unbalanced load-current distribution. Benefiting from quad-path operation across all switching states, the proposed segment interlacing (SI)-SCPL achieves continuous reduction in inductor current over a wide range of control duty cycles (D). Furthermore, the symmetric …

MTDiff: A Multi-Task Diffusion Accelerator With Bandwidth-Aware Memory Partition and Efficient Digital Compute-in-Memory

MTDiff: A Multi-Task Diffusion Accelerator With Bandwidth-Aware Memory Partition and Efficient Digital Compute-in-Memory 150 150
Author(s): Jiaqi Zhou, Yiqi Jing, Yiyang Sun, Siyuan He, Le Ye, Tianyu Jia

Abstract:

Initially applied to image synthesis, diffusion models have rapidly expanded into various content generation tasks, such as 3-D scene reconstruction and video generation, due to the superior generative quality. Based on our observations, the imbalanced operational intensities across diffusion model layers lead to suboptimal hardware utilization due to inadequate bandwidth …

A Stress- and Temperature-Compensated TMR Current Sensor With ±0.13% Sensitivity Variation

A Stress- and Temperature-Compensated TMR Current Sensor With ±0.13% Sensitivity Variation 150 150
Author(s): Tianxiang Qu, Nan Wang, Zuo Zhang, Longxi Xiang, Ting Yi, Zhiliang Hong, Xiaoyang Zeng, Jiawei Xu

Abstract:

This article presents a high-precision tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR)-based non-contact current sensor with enhanced immunity to sensitivity drift. A background sensitivity stabilization loop (SSL) continuously regulates the TMR bias voltage to compensate intrinsic sensitivity variations. Through this closed-loop regulation, sensitivity drift of the TMR sensor induced by temperature, mechanical stress, …

A Line-Connected Q-Sampler-Based Multi-Phase Hybrid Converter

A Line-Connected Q-Sampler-Based Multi-Phase Hybrid Converter 150 150
Author(s): Jiacheng Yang, Zihao Tang, Rui P. Martins, Zheng Wang, Lin Cheng, Mo Huang

Abstract:

This article presents a line-connected Q-sampler-based (LQS) multi-phase (MP) hybrid converter for direct conversion from high-rail to point-of-load (PoL). The proposed topology uses an input-parallel switched-capacitor (SC) structure to support “ALL-ON” operation during load transients, while a “multi-source- ${V}_{\mathrm { X}}$ ” control decouples voltage conversion ratio (VCR) from phase count, …
