A 2 $\times$ 56 Gb/s 0.78-pJ/b PAM-4 Crosstalk Cancellation Receiver With Active Crosstalk Extraction Technique in 28-nm CMOS

A 2 $\times$ 56 Gb/s 0.78-pJ/b PAM-4 Crosstalk Cancellation Receiver With Active Crosstalk Extraction Technique in 28-nm CMOS 150 150

Abstract:

A 2 $times$ 56 Gb/s 0.78-pJ/b four pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM-4) single-ended multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) crosstalk cancellation and signal reutilization (XTCR) receiver (RX) is investigated for medium-reach (MR) backplane communications. An XTCR scheme based on active crosstalk extraction (A-XTCR) is proposed to improve the signal reutilization efficiency of the RX. By …

A 2.8 $\mu$ s Response Time 95.1% Efficiency Hybrid Boost Converter With RHP Zero Elimination for Fast-Transient Applications

A 2.8 $\mu$ s Response Time 95.1% Efficiency Hybrid Boost Converter With RHP Zero Elimination for Fast-Transient Applications 150 150

Abstract:

This article proposes a hybrid boost converter that eliminates the right-half-plane (RHP) zero. The proposed converter can be designed with a broad bandwidth up to a tenth of the switching frequency, such that the converter can attain fast transient response as a buck converter. Besides, it features a left-half-plane zero …

Analysis and Design of a 10.4-ENOB 0.92–5.38- $\mu$ W Event-Driven Level-Crossing ADC With Adaptive Clocking for Time-Sparse Edge Applications

Analysis and Design of a 10.4-ENOB 0.92–5.38- $\mu$ W Event-Driven Level-Crossing ADC With Adaptive Clocking for Time-Sparse Edge Applications 150 150

Abstract:

Level-crossing ADCs (LCADCs) operate on changes in the input signal, resulting in an event-driven power consumption and data output. For signals with time-sparse activity (e.g., neural action potentials, and ECG), such ADCs can offer advantages at the system level through the reduced data rate that decreases the transmission and/…

A 1.8–65 fJ/Conv.-Step 64-dB SNDR Continuous- Time Level Crossing ADC Exploiting Dynamic Self-Biasing Comparators

A 1.8–65 fJ/Conv.-Step 64-dB SNDR Continuous- Time Level Crossing ADC Exploiting Dynamic Self-Biasing Comparators 150 150

Abstract:

This work presents a power-efficient level crossing (LC) ADC designed to digitize sparse signals. It uses dynamically self-biased comparators, which require minimal current when the input voltage is far from a decision threshold. It also uses a DAC architecture which avoids the signal attenuation commonly present in prior LC ADC …
