Abstract:

This paper proposes a digital low-dropout regulator (DLDO)-assisted buck converter featuring one-step computational droop compensation and DLDO feedback-controlled current handover. The 28-nm test chip achieves a 68-mV droop voltage and a 112-ns settling time for a 1A/0.8ns load step while maintaining a high peak efficiency of 95.5%.

A Multi-Core Series-Resonance CMOS Oscillator

A Multi-Core Series-Resonance CMOS Oscillator 150 150
Author(s): Shiwei Zhang, Wei Deng, Haikun Jia, Zhihua Wang, Baoyong Chi

Abstract:

Multi-core and series-resonance (SR) techniques have been proposed to achieve ultra-low phase noise (PN) performance. In this article, a scalable ring-coupling scheme is proposed for multi-core expansion. The mechanism provides intrinsic oscillation and PN reduction without compromising the passive network, specifically tailored for the SR oscillator. The dual closed ring …
