Abstract:

This letter presents a simultaneous bidirectional (SBD) transceiver for post HBM4. It is difficult to increase the data rate due to poor channel characteristics of the silicon interposer and the limited physical area of the IO in high-bandwidth memory (HBM) interface. SBD signaling is attractive because it doubles the per-pin …

A 15-MHz, 2.7-mm2 Notch-Free Hybrid Magnetic Current Sensor With Feedforward Ripple Cancellation and ±0.8% Local Gain Non-Uniformity

A 15-MHz, 2.7-mm2 Notch-Free Hybrid Magnetic Current Sensor With Feedforward Ripple Cancellation and ±0.8% Local Gain Non-Uniformity 150 150
Author(s): Feng Cheng, Jianlin Xia, Encheng Zhu, Long Zhang, Zhongyuan Fang, Xiaofeng Sun, Dejin Wang, Shaoping Li, Jing Zhu, Yongjia Li, Weifeng Sun

Abstract:

This article proposes a hybrid magnetic current sensor achieving a 15-MHz bandwidth within a compact 2.7-mm2 area. To mitigate the pole–zero mismatch inherent in the two-stage integrator topology, a dual-output Gm-C integrator with subtractor-based compensation is proposed, achieving a ±0.8% local gain non-uniformity. A wideband feedforward ripple suppression scheme cancels …

A 0.5–2.5-GS/s Resettable Ring-VCO-Based ADC Eliminating Quantization-Noise Shaping

A 0.5–2.5-GS/s Resettable Ring-VCO-Based ADC Eliminating Quantization-Noise Shaping 150 150
Author(s): Tao Lu, Zixiang Liu, Hao Yang, Sai-Weng Sin, Fujiang Lin, Liheng Lou, Robert Bogdan Staszewski, Yizhe Hu

Abstract:

This article presents a Nyquist-rate Analog-to-digital converter (ADC) operating from 0.5 to 2.5 GS/s based on an open-loop resettable ring VCO (R-RVCO). By inherently embedding the $1 {\,}-{\,}z^{-1}$ transfer function, the R-RVCO eliminates the need for an explicit differentiator, suppresses VCO phase-noise (PN) integration, and avoids quantization-noise (QN) shaping within …

Adelia: A 4-nm LLM Processing Unit With Streamlined Dataflow and Dual-Mode Parallelism for Maximizing Hardware Efficiency

Adelia: A 4-nm LLM Processing Unit With Streamlined Dataflow and Dual-Mode Parallelism for Maximizing Hardware Efficiency 150 150
Author(s): Sukbin Lim, Jung-Hoon Kim, Seungjae Moon, Junseo Cha, Dongjin Seo, Jongho Kim, Hunjong Lee, Jinwon Lee, Joo-Young Kim

Abstract:

The proliferation of large language models (LLMs) as cross-domain foundation models is fueled by aggressive scaling in both parameter counts and inference-time computation. The emergence of sophisticated reasoning models further accelerates this trend, demanding longer context windows and escalating the computational and memory burdens of inference. A fundamental challenge arises …

Author(s): Bo Pang, Fei You, Taotao Pang, Rongxing Qin, Zehua Xiao, Yingjie Liu, Yingyu Liu, Xinyu Wang, Junfu Guo, Songbai He

Abstract:

This article presents a 2–18 GHz high-efficiency CMOS nonuniform distributed power amplifier (NDPA) with a novel reconfigurable inductive termination technique for ultra-broadband efficiency enhancement. First, the inherent drawback of the degrading efficiency with growing frequency in a conventional non-reconfigurable NDPA architecture with multi-octave bandwidth is studied. A simple and effective reconfigurable …

A 70-GHz Bandwidth Amplifier With Integrated Differential Bridged T-coil Peaking and Uniform Group Delay

A 70-GHz Bandwidth Amplifier With Integrated Differential Bridged T-coil Peaking and Uniform Group Delay 150 150
Author(s): Giovanni Scarlato, John R. Long

Abstract:

A two-stage amplifier in 22-nm FD-SOI CMOS integrates a fully-differential bridged T-coil for the first time. Circuit performance is benchmarked against an identical amplifier topology designed with single-ended T-coils (pseudo-differential) and an unpeaked reference. It realizes 70-GHz bandwidth with $12~\pm ~2$ -ps group delay and >10-dB return loss across 90 GHz. Bandwidth …
