A 0.4-V 32-kHz Pulse-Injection Temperature-Compensated Crystal Oscillator With Sub-Cycle CL Modulation and DLL-Reused Temperature Sensor

A 0.4-V 32-kHz Pulse-Injection Temperature-Compensated Crystal Oscillator With Sub-Cycle CL Modulation and DLL-Reused Temperature Sensor 150 150
Author(s): Haihua Li, Pui-In Mak, Rui P. Martins, Ka-Meng Lei

Abstract:

This article presents a 0.4-V 32 kHz pulse-injection (PI) temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) that incorporates subcycle capacitive load ( $C_{\text {L}}$ ) modulation for frequency compensation. The proposed TCXO compensates for the crystal’s frequency deviation ( $\Delta f$ ) by dynamically adjusting the enabling duration of the additional $C_{\text {L}}$ within each …

A 48-Gb/s Inductorless PAM-4 Optical Receiver With 1.28-pJ/bit Efficiency in 28-nm CMOS

A 48-Gb/s Inductorless PAM-4 Optical Receiver With 1.28-pJ/bit Efficiency in 28-nm CMOS 150 150
Author(s): Chongyun Zhang, Li Wang, Fuzhan Chen, Quan Pan, Xianbo Li, C. Patrick Yue

Abstract:

This work presents a 48-Gb/s four-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM-4) optical receiver (ORX) with a linear analog front-end (AFE) and an integrated sampler. The AFE employs a transadmittance-stage transimpedance-stage (TAS-TIS) topology, replacing conventional CML-based variable gain amplifiers (VGAs) and post-amplifiers, avoiding continuous-time linear equalizers and passive inductors while preserving …

A 38.1 fJ/Bit Capacitive-Latch True Random Number Generator Featuring Both Autozeroed Inverter Mismatch and Accelerated Evaluation

A 38.1 fJ/Bit Capacitive-Latch True Random Number Generator Featuring Both Autozeroed Inverter Mismatch and Accelerated Evaluation 150 150
Author(s): Woojin Lee, Changmin Sim, Changjoo Kim, Jinwoo Jeon, Hyundo Jung, Taihyun Kim, Chulwoo Kim

Abstract:

This work presents a capacitive-latch (C-latch) true random number generator (TRNG) that achieves both inverter mismatch autozeroing and accelerated evaluation by utilizing coupling capacitors. The proposed C-latch TRNG samples the mismatch between inverter equalization voltages through coupling capacitors during the equalization phase, effectively autozeroing inverter mismatch and enabling high-entropy raw …

Author(s): Hyeon-Ji Choi, Joo-Mi Cho, Hyo-Jin Park, Seok-Jun Lee, Sung-Wan Hong

Abstract:

This letter presents an off-chip output capacitor (CO)-scalable (OCS) boost converter. The proposed OCS boost converter is possible to operate both with and without the off-chip CO. In addition, it operates in a whole conversion ratio (CR) range over 1 while maintaining a small current ripple of an inductor, resulting …

Reconfigurable Ferroelectric Bandpass Filter With Low-Frequency Noise Analysis for Intracardiac Electrogram Monitoring

Reconfigurable Ferroelectric Bandpass Filter With Low-Frequency Noise Analysis for Intracardiac Electrogram Monitoring 150 150
Author(s): Jianwei Jia, Zhenge Jia, Omkar Phadke, Yiyu Shi, Shimeng Yu

Abstract:

Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) provide real-time monitoring and immediate defibrillation for life-threatening arrhythmias. However, the intracardiac electrogram (IEGM) acquisition of ICDs faces stringent constraints, including power consumption, low-frequency noise, and patient-specific physiological variability. This article introduces an ultralow-power, high-resolution, reconfigurable three-stage bandpass filter designed specifically for IEGM, utilizing ferroelectric field-effect …
