1-Transistor-Dynamic Random Access Memory as Reservoir for Temporal Signal Processing

1-Transistor-Dynamic Random Access Memory as Reservoir for Temporal Signal Processing 150 150
Author(s): Md Yasir Bashir, Lalith Adithya Sai C., Shubham Sahay

Abstract:

Reservoir computing (RC), a computational paradigm inspired by the recurrent neural networks (RNNs), offers a promising framework for efficient temporal processing with minimal training overhead. Hardware implementation of RC primitive requires devices that exhibit short-term memory, nonlinearity, and energy-efficient state-switching dynamics. While emerging nonvolatile memory (eNVM) technologies have been explored …

Minimizing the Noise in Low-Current Sensing by MOSFET p-n Junction Diode Feedback

Minimizing the Noise in Low-Current Sensing by MOSFET p-n Junction Diode Feedback 150 150
Author(s): Ehsan Semsar Parapari, Marco Bennati, Michele Biondi, Marco Crescentini, Federico Thei

Abstract:

This letter proposes a transimpedance amplifier (TIA) architecture that minimizes noise for continuous-time (CT) low-current sensing. The approach leverages a MOSFET to realize a pure p-n junction diode as the TIA feedback element, such that MOS channel conduction is completely suppressed. Therefore, channel-induced noise contributions associated with conventional MOS-based feedback …

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
Author(s): Shin Han, Gicheol Shin, Jongmin Lee, Yoonmyung Lee

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 …

A 6.78-MHz Single-Stage Regulating Rectifier With Dual Outputs Simultaneously Charged in a Half Cycle Achieving 92.2% Efficiency and 131 mW Output Power 150 150
Author(s): Quanrong Zhuang, Junyi Sun, Bo Li, Jie Lu, Zixu Wang, Qi’an Zhu, Xin Zhang, Yi Shi, Hao Qiu

Abstract:

Targeting the wireless power transfer (WPT) to implantable medical devices (IMDs), this work presents a 6.78 MHz single-stage dual-output (SSDO) regulating rectifier. It can support the simultaneous charging of both outputs ( $V_{\text {OUT1}}$ and $V_{\text {OUT2}}$ , $V_{\text {OUT1}} \gt V_{\text {OUT2}}$ ) in a half cycle, rather than …

Self-Enabled Write Assist Cells for High-Density SRAM in Resistance-Dominated Technology Node

Self-Enabled Write Assist Cells for High-Density SRAM in Resistance-Dominated Technology Node 150 150
Author(s): Minjune Yeo, Seungjae Yei, Keonhee Cho, Giseok Kim, Mingu Kang, Seong-Ook Jung

Abstract:

As technology scaling increases interconnect resistance, writeability degradation in static random access memory (SRAM) becomes critical. This article presents a self-enabled write assist cell (SEWAC) that mitigates writeability degradation caused by increased bitline resistance (R ${}_{\mathrm {BL}}$ ) without requiring timing control. The SEWAC has a cell-compatible layout with the standard 6…

A Reconfigurable Multimode Readout IC for Nonconductive and Capacitive Sensing With 33.9-dB SNR on 6.5-in AMOLED Panels

A Reconfigurable Multimode Readout IC for Nonconductive and Capacitive Sensing With 33.9-dB SNR on 6.5-in AMOLED Panels 150 150
Author(s): Sang Weun Kim, Jun Seong Kim, Dabin Yun, Seunghoon Ko

Abstract:

This letter presents a multimode readout IC for 6.5-in 34Tx/16Rx on-cell touch AMOLED (OCTA) panels, detecting both conductive and nonconductive objects (NCos) without panel modifications. To enable this dual detection, a reconfigurable analog front-end (AFE) is proposed, functioning as either a capacitance-to-voltage converter or a triboelectric charge sampler. In …

A Novel VGSOT-pMTJ Write Circuit for Hybrid CMOS/MTJ CIM Architecture

A Novel VGSOT-pMTJ Write Circuit for Hybrid CMOS/MTJ CIM Architecture 150 150
Author(s): Prashanth Barla, Ramya Moodakare

Abstract:

Hybrid computation-in-memory (CIM) architecture has emerged as the most promising alternative to overcome the drawbacks of the conventional CMOS-only devices used in the conventional von-Neumann architecture. In the hybrid CIM architecture, a pair of perpendicular magnetic tunnel junctions (pMTJs) is used to store one bit of information. Though there are …
