Abstract:

This work presents a CMOS-only [micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS)-free] electronic nose (e-nose) for concurrent multi-gas-sensing applications. The proposed system integrates 4096 capacitance-to-digital converter (CDC) pixels, each implementing a compact bandpass sigma–delta ( $\Sigma \Delta $ ) ADC with a single feedback coefficient and no additional feedforward or feedback paths, achieving each pixel footprint …

Author(s): Chenghao Zhang, Maliang Liu, Yuan Chang, Yihang Yang, Jinhai Xiao, Yintang Yang, Yong Chen

Abstract:

This article reports a 40-GS/s 8-bit time-interleaved (TI) time-domain (TD) gated-ring-oscillator analog-to-digital converter (GRO-ADC). An interleaving number of 32 is achieved with a single-channel 8-bit GRO-ADC operating at 1.25 GS/s, leading to a low front-end design complexity compared to recently published arts. The sampling front end employs a linearity-enhanced boosted …

A Folded-Differential Switched-Capacitor SRAM CIM Macro With Scalable MAC Sizes for TinyML Inference

A Folded-Differential Switched-Capacitor SRAM CIM Macro With Scalable MAC Sizes for TinyML Inference 150 150
Author(s): Zhonghao Chen, Ling-An Cheong, Tianyi Yu, Yiming Chen, Guodong Yin, Teng Yi, Yongpan Liu, Huazhong Yang, Xueqing Li

Abstract:

This letter presents a switched-capacitor SRAM compute-in-memory macro optimized for TinyML inference. Key features include: 1) an area-efficient folded-differential multiply-and-accumulate (FD-MAC) scheme to double the signal margin; 2) a closed-loop floating-inverter amplifier (FIA)-based charge accumulation technique for signal-to-noise ratio enhancement and multiply-and-accumulate (MAC) voltage integration; and 3) a sparsity-aware multistep MAC method …

An 11.95-ENOB 560-MS/s Amplifier-Switching Subranging Analog-to-Digital Converter With Multi-Threshold Comparators

An 11.95-ENOB 560-MS/s Amplifier-Switching Subranging Analog-to-Digital Converter With Multi-Threshold Comparators 150 150
Author(s): Ritaro Takenaka, Tetsuya Iizuka

Abstract:

This article proposes a 14-bit, 560-MS/s subranging analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that employs an amplifier-switching architecture with multi-threshold comparators. The proposed amplifier-switching architecture reuses a flash quantizer multiple times during subranging conversion by amplifying the residue voltage with an appropriate gain at each quantization step. This approach reduces the required …
