Sustainable Status Monitoring of MOSFETs in a Fully Integrated RF Amplifier by Thermal Voltage Sensing of On-Chip Thermopile 150 150

Abstract:

In this letter, a sustainable status monitoring of MOSFETs in a fully integrated two stage RF amplifier by thermal voltage sensing of on-chip thermopile is implemented in 0.18- $\mu \text{m}$ CMOS technology. The designed micro-thermopile consists of many thermocouples electrically connected in series by Al and P-type polysilicon, which …

OCCAM: An Error Oblivious CAM

OCCAM: An Error Oblivious CAM 150 150

Abstract:

Content addressable memories (CAMs) are widely used in many applications in general purpose computer microarchitecture, networking and domain-specific hardware accelerators. In addition to storing and reading data, CAMs enable simultaneous compare of query datawords with the entire memory content. Similar to SRAM and DRAM, CAMs are prone to errors and …

A Dynamic Power-Only Compute-in-Memory Macro With Power-of-Two Nonlinear SAR ADC for Nonvolatile Ferroelectric Capacitive Crossbar Array

A Dynamic Power-Only Compute-in-Memory Macro With Power-of-Two Nonlinear SAR ADC for Nonvolatile Ferroelectric Capacitive Crossbar Array 150 150

Abstract:

Analog computing-in-memory (CIM) using emerging resistive nonvolatile memory (NVM) technologies faces challenges, such as static power consumption, current flow-induced IR drop, and the need for multiple power-hungry ADCs. In this letter, we present ferroelectric capacitive array (FCA)-based energy/area-efficient CIM macro used for charge-domain multiply-and-accumulate operations, which addresses the …
