Author(s): Xinyi Wu, Chenxu Zhao, Hui Chen, Xun Bao, Yaolong Hu, Aoyang Zhang, Leibo Liu

Abstract:

This letter presents a compact, multiband reflection-type phase shifter (RTPS) implemented in 65-nm CMOS that overcomes the narrowband limitations of conventional passive loads. The proposed design utilizes an inductive-load modulation. By injecting a secondary signal to actively manipulate the magnetic flux, the equivalent inductance is boosted to enable operation across …

Abstract:

This letter presents a 10-bit ENOB charge-sharing SAR ADC with a fully integrated dynamic bandgap reference (BGR), enabling first-order noise shaping and ultralow-power (ULP) operation. The charge-sharing ADC and dynamic BGR form an ideal pair: both operate without static current, allowing compact integration and high precision. The SAR uses only …

A Low-Spur Fractional-N DPLL With Analog Pre-Distortion DTC Implementing Second-/Third-Order Calibration

A Low-Spur Fractional-N DPLL With Analog Pre-Distortion DTC Implementing Second-/Third-Order Calibration 150 150
Author(s): Daxu Zhang, Yuncheng Zhang, Dingxin Xu, Hongye Huang, Waleed Madany, Zezheng Liu, Wenqian Wang, Yuang Xiong, Ashbir Aviat Fadila, Duo Li, Minzhe Tang, Dongfan Xu, Atsushi Shirane, Kenichi Okada

Abstract:

This article presents a low-spur, low-jitter fractional-N digital phase-locked loop (DPLL) employing an analog pre-distortion digital-to-time converter (APD-DTC) to suppress fractional spurs by compensating for both second- and third-order nonlinearities without using complex digital pre-distortion. To support background calibration, a spur-level detection scheme using phase detector gain (PDG) is proposed …

Verifica: Near-Memory Symbolic Interval Computing Formal Neural Network Verification Accelerator

Verifica: Near-Memory Symbolic Interval Computing Formal Neural Network Verification Accelerator 150 150
Author(s): Edward Jongyoon Choi, Byeongseon Choi, Jiho Chun, Minkyu Je, Bongjin Kim

Abstract:

Formal robustness verification of neural networks is essential for deploying machine learning (ML) systems in safety-critical applications. However, existing verification frameworks are predominantly software-based, incurring prohibitive computational costs and long runtimes, severely limiting scalability and practical deployment. Although symbolic interval analysis enables scalable over-approximate verification, its effectiveness is limited by …

Abstract:

This article proposes a hybrid magnetic current sensor achieving a 15-MHz bandwidth within a compact 2.7-mm2 area. To mitigate the pole–zero mismatch inherent in the two-stage integrator topology, a dual-output Gm-C integrator with subtractor-based compensation is proposed, achieving a ±0.8% local gain non-uniformity. A wideband feedforward ripple suppression scheme cancels …
