A Ten-Level Series-Capacitor 24-to-1-V DC–DC Converter With Fast In Situ Efficiency Tracking, Power-FET Code Roaming, and Switch Node Power Rail 150 150

Abstract:

This work presents a high-efficiency ten-level series-capacitor 24-to-1-V buck converter with three techniques to improve its efficiency and reliability. First, we propose a fast in situ efficiency tracking (FIT) technique to maximize efficiency across load conditions and process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) variations. The second technique is the power-FET …

An IEEE 802.15.4/4z Coherent Quadrature Hybrid Correlation UWB Receiver in 65-nm CMOS

An IEEE 802.15.4/4z Coherent Quadrature Hybrid Correlation UWB Receiver in 65-nm CMOS 150 150

Abstract:

This article presents a coherent ultra-wideband (UWB) receiver architecture based on a quadrature hybrid correlation (QHC) method that significantly reduces the digital-correlation-relevant power in the conventional standard-compliant UWB receiver. The proposed QHC receiver front end employs analog correlation, two-step synchronization with a digital-assisted path, and time-interleaved (TI) sampling methods for …

A 4-Element Ka-Band Phased-Array Receiver With Code-Domain Hybrid Beamforming

A 4-Element Ka-Band Phased-Array Receiver With Code-Domain Hybrid Beamforming 150 150

Abstract:

This letter presents a 4-element phased-array receiver with code-domain hybrid beamforming (CDHBF) in 65-nm CMOS technology. Code-division multiplexing is used to fully preserve the flexibility in the digital domain while using a single RF interface, which reduces the RF chain complexity, reduces the chip area, and improves power efficiency. Phase …

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 …
