A Complementary Positive Feedback-Assisted Current Mirror-Based Level Shifter for Energy-Efficient Level Conversion for Wide Voltage Ranges

A Complementary Positive Feedback-Assisted Current Mirror-Based Level Shifter for Energy-Efficient Level Conversion for Wide Voltage Ranges 150 150

Abstract:

A complementary positive feedback-assisted current mirror-based level shifter (CPFLS) is proposed to reliably convert subthreshold signals to higher voltages. By adopting a positive feedback structure, the CPFLS mitigates the delay degradation and short-circuit current issues inherent in a prior art, WCMLS, due to its negative feedback design. Additionally, the CPFLS …

PANNA: A 558 TOPS/W Pipelined All-Analog Neural Network Accelerator in 22 nm FD-SOI

PANNA: A 558 TOPS/W Pipelined All-Analog Neural Network Accelerator in 22 nm FD-SOI 150 150

Abstract:

Analog computing offers intrinsic energy and latency benefits that makes it attractive for real-time and edge applications. Conventional analog accelerators suffer from repeated conversions between analog and digital domain, which degrades efficiency and throughput. We propose an all-analog pipelined neural network accelerator architecture in 22 nm fully-depleted silicon-on-insulator (FD-SOI) complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (…

A Linear Dynamic Voltage Scaling Technique With Adaptive Minimum Voltage Headroom Tracking for Implantable Neurostimulation

A Linear Dynamic Voltage Scaling Technique With Adaptive Minimum Voltage Headroom Tracking for Implantable Neurostimulation 150 150

Abstract:

This letter presents a linear dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) technique using a dual-loop multistage charge-pump maintaining the minimum voltage headroom for implantable neurostimulation. By adopting an analog DVS with adaptive feedback divider, the stimulus current source could be always kept operating at the boundary of the saturation region and the …
