Author(s): Feifan Hong, Jiawen Chen, Pingda Guan, Sayan Kumar, Robert Bogdan Staszewski, Teerachot Siriburanon

Abstract:

In this article, we present a differentially injection-locked clock multiplier (ILCM) featuring an ultra-wide frequency tuning range (TR) and low jitter, achieved through a compact folded-inductor-based magnetic-flux cancellation technique. A co-designed series-LC dual-mode quadrature ring oscillator (QRO) and edge-combining frequency doubler operating in the mm-wave band jointly extend the TR …

Author(s): Chaorong Wang, Quan Pan, Xiaohu Fang

Abstract:

This letter presents a design methodology for broadband and compact millimeter-wave (mm-wave) single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switches targeting the Ku–Ka band. Conventional SPDT switches based on quarter-wavelength transmission line typically occupy significant chip area, while alternative designs utilizing standard $\pi $ -type equivalent circuits often suffer from bandwidth degradation due to …

Abstract:

This article presents a D-band direct-digital modulation (DDM) transmitter with on-chip digital calibration blocks for future beyond-5G (B5G) wireless communication. The proposed DDM architecture mitigates the need for complex intermediate frequency (IF) generation and power-hungry digital-to-analog converters (DACs). The transmitter is implemented primarily in TSMC’s 16-nm p-FinFETs, …

Abstract:

This article presents a 32-channel time-multiplexed highly digital neural recording front-end (RFE) that exhibits sub- $8.8~\mu $ s recovery latency from large stimulation artifacts while delivering high-resolution data at the Nyquist rate. The RFE is time-shared across 32 channels for low-frequency electrocorticography (ECoG) recording and across four channels for high-frequency action potentials (…

BASS-PLL: A Bandwidth Augmented Sub-Sampling PLL Achieving a Wide Bandwidth Above 30% of the Reference Frequency and a Worst Case FoMREF of −247.9 dB at 3 GHz With a Ring Oscillator

BASS-PLL: A Bandwidth Augmented Sub-Sampling PLL Achieving a Wide Bandwidth Above 30% of the Reference Frequency and a Worst Case FoMREF of −247.9 dB at 3 GHz With a Ring Oscillator 150 150
Author(s): Tong Zhang, Yiwen Zhang, Xueke Cai, Weihao Jie, Yanling Zheng, Deyong Li, Yang Zhao, Yongfu Li, Honglan Jiang, Patrick P. Mercier, Hui Wang

Abstract:

This work presents a bandwidth augmented sub-sampling phase-locked loop (BASS-PLL) architecture that features simultaneous out-of-band noise suppression by direct and multipath sampling of the ring oscillator’s (ROs) output and in-band noise suppression via an intrinsic sub-sampling mechanism, ultimately combining the benefits of over-sampling PLLs (OS-PLLs) and sub-sampling PLLs (SS-PLLs) …

A Fast-Settling mm-Wave LO With I/Q-Calibrated SSB Mixer and Frequency-Tuned ILO Filter Achieving Sub-ns Settling Time and −56 dBc Spur

A Fast-Settling mm-Wave LO With I/Q-Calibrated SSB Mixer and Frequency-Tuned ILO Filter Achieving Sub-ns Settling Time and −56 dBc Spur 150 150
Author(s): Jaewon Oh, Cheol So, Hyojun Kim, Songcheol Hong, SeongHwan Cho

Abstract:

This article presents a fast-settling 60-GHz local oscillator (LO) for stepped-carrier orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM), employing an I/Q-calibrated single-sideband (SSB) mixer with a frequency-tuned injection-locked oscillator (ILO) filter. The SSB mixer enables instantaneous frequency hopping, while the ILO acts as a high- $Q$ bandpass filter that suppresses mixer-induced spurs. …

3-D Stacked HBM and Compute Accelerators for LLM: Optimizing Thermal Management and Power Delivery Efficiency

3-D Stacked HBM and Compute Accelerators for LLM: Optimizing Thermal Management and Power Delivery Efficiency 150 150
Author(s): Janak Sharda, Madison Manley, Jungyoun Kwak, Chinsung Park, Muhannad Bakir, Shimeng Yu

Abstract:

Advanced packaging is becoming essential for designing hardware accelerators for large language models (LLMs). Different architectures, such as 2.5-D integration of memory with logic, have been proposed; however, the bandwidth limits the throughput of the complete system. Recent works have proposed memory on logic systems, where high bandwidth memory (HBM) …
