A 0.4-V 32-kHz Pulse-Injection Temperature-Compensated Crystal Oscillator With Sub-Cycle CL Modulation and DLL-Reused Temperature Sensor 150 150

Abstract:

This article presents a 0.4-V 32 kHz pulse-injection (PI) temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) that incorporates subcycle capacitive load ( $C_{\text {L}}$ ) modulation for frequency compensation. The proposed TCXO compensates for the crystal’s frequency deviation ( $\Delta f$ ) by dynamically adjusting the enabling duration of the additional $C_{\text {L}}$ within each …

Reference-Load Sharing Scheme: An Area- and Energy-Efficient Nonvolatile Register Design Using MTJ Devices

Reference-Load Sharing Scheme: An Area- and Energy-Efficient Nonvolatile Register Design Using MTJ Devices 150 150

Abstract:

This article proposes a circuit configuration for an area- and energy-efficient nonvolatile register using magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) devices, suitable for persistent computation in intermittent computing environments. The proposed configuration, named the reference-load sharing scheme (RLSS), stores 1 bit of information using the resistance of a dedicated MTJ device and a …
