On-Chip Charge-Trap-Transistor-Based Mismatch Calibration of an 8-Bit Thermometer Current-Source DAC

On-Chip Charge-Trap-Transistor-Based Mismatch Calibration of an 8-Bit Thermometer Current-Source DAC 150 150
Author(s): Mohammadreza Zeinali, Sudhakar Pamarti

Abstract:

This letter presents an on-chip mismatch calibration technique for current-source digital-to-analog converters (DACs) using charge-trap transistors (CTTs) in 22-nm FDSOI technology. The proposed method exploits programmable threshold voltage (VTH) shifts in CTTs to locally tune the current of near-minimum-sized devices without external trimming. A compact 8-bit thermometer DAC is implemented …

Abstract:

This work describes a side-channel attack (SCA)-resistant hash-based message authentication code (HMAC) accelerator with secure hash algorithm 2 (SHA-2) using Boolean and arithmetic masking along with the first-reported ASIC implementation in Intel 4 CMOS with 10 M measured traces. Previously reported masked datapath suffers from high area/performance overheads (>100%) designs due to …

Abstract:

This letter presents a low pixel-to-pixel variation (PPV) time-to-digital converter (TDC) array designed for light detection and ranging (LiDAR) applications. The TDC array is implemented in a 0.18- $\mu $ m HV CMOS process, integrated with a single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) array. SPAD-based LiDAR systems require high-precision timing resolution across the …

A 0.015-mm2 0.5-V Synthesizable Hybrid PLL With Multi-Phase Linear Proportional-Gain Paths

A 0.015-mm2 0.5-V Synthesizable Hybrid PLL With Multi-Phase Linear Proportional-Gain Paths 150 150
Author(s): Qibang Sun, Liqun Feng, Woogeun Rhee, Hanjun Jiang

Abstract:

This brief presents a 0.015-mm2 0.5-V synthesizable hybrid phase locked loop (PLL). All blocks including an analog proportional-gain path can be logically or physically synthesized with digital cells and hardware languages. To mitigate the mismatch and common-mode fluctuation problems of a voltage-mode phase detector, multi-phase proportional-gain paths are designed for …

A 28-nm FeFET Compute-in-Memory Macro With 64×64 Array Size and On-Chip 4-Bit Flash ADC

A 28-nm FeFET Compute-in-Memory Macro With 64×64 Array Size and On-Chip 4-Bit Flash ADC 150 150
Author(s): Vaidehi Garg, Jianwei Jia, Omkar Phadke, Shimeng Yu

Abstract:

Compute-in-memory (CIM) using emerging nonvolatile memory devices is a promising candidate for energy-efficient deep neural network (DNN) inference at the edge. Ferroelectric field-effect transistors (FeFETs) have recently gained attention as nonvolatile, CMOS-compatible devices with a higher on/off ratio and lower read and write energy compared to resistive random-access memory (…

Abstract:

This manuscript presents an experimental characterization of a novel high speed D flip-flop (D-FF). The circuit was fabricated on a $27\mu $ m thick flexible polyimide substrate using a nMOS only, single gate amorphous Indium-Gallium-Zinc-Oxide (a-IGZO) thin-film transistor (TFT) technology. Reliable response of the D-FF was noticed from measurements up to …

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
Author(s): Jakob Finkbeiner, Raphael Nägele, Manuel Wittlinger, Markus Grözing, Manfred Berroth, Georg Rademacher

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 (…
