A Fully Integrated Digital LDO With Adaptive Sampling and Statistical Comparator Selection

A Fully Integrated Digital LDO With Adaptive Sampling and Statistical Comparator Selection 150 150

Abstract:

Digital LDOs are gaining attention for their operation with small output capacitance. Adaptive sampling with a large frequency scaling ratio is required for fast transient response with low-power operation. Furthermore, the design of a fluctuation detector to deal with large load steps is important. This letter describes an adaptive-sampling digital …

INTIACC: A Programmable Floating-Point Accelerator for Partial Differential Equations

INTIACC: A Programmable Floating-Point Accelerator for Partial Differential Equations 150 150

Abstract:

This article presents a 32-bit floating-point (FP32) programmable accelerator for solving a wide range of partial differential equations (PDEs) based on numerical integration methods. Compared to prior works that have fixed-point systems and are only applicable to specific types of PDEs, our proposed, integration accelerator for PDEs, named INTIACC, accelerator …

A 50-Gb/s Multicarrier Transmitter Using DAC-Based Polar Drivers in 22-nm FinFET

A 50-Gb/s Multicarrier Transmitter Using DAC-Based Polar Drivers in 22-nm FinFET 150 150

Abstract:

A digital-to-analog converter (DAC)-based polar transmitter (TX) is proposed for multicarrier signaling in wireline applications. The proposed TX achieves a 50-Gb/s total data rate with maximized spectral efficiency by using three parallel 5-GS/s DAC-based drivers and two orthogonal carriers of 5 and 10 GHz. The three DAC-based drivers operating …

A 90 µW at 1 fps and 1.33 mW at 30 fps 120-dB Intrascene Dynamic Range 640 × 480 Stacked Image Sensor for Autonomous Vision Systems

A 90 µW at 1 fps and 1.33 mW at 30 fps 120-dB Intrascene Dynamic Range 640 × 480 Stacked Image Sensor for Autonomous Vision Systems 150 150

Abstract:

We present an ultralow-power high dynamic range (DR) image sensor dedicated to autonomous vision systems, produced in a back illuminated 65 nm/40 nm stacked process and based on a time-to-digital pixel with in-pixel A/D conversion and data memory. Key to the low-power consumption is a new in-pixel comparator without dc …
