A High-Speed D-FF and a 11-Bit Up-Down Counter Using Unipolar Oxide TFTs on a Flexible Foil

A High-Speed D-FF and a 11-Bit Up-Down Counter Using Unipolar Oxide TFTs on a Flexible Foil 150 150

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

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 (…

Impact of Aging, Self-Heating, and Parasitics Effects on NSFET and CFET

Impact of Aging, Self-Heating, and Parasitics Effects on NSFET and CFET 150 150

Abstract:

This work presents a comparative analysis of complementary field-effect transistor (CFET) and nanosheet FET (NSFET) architectures, with a focus on self-heating effects (SHEs), negative bias temperature instability (NBTI), hot carrier degradation (HCD), and the impact of back-end-of-line (BEOL) parasitics on standard cell performance. NBTI degradation is modeled using a framework …

1.58-b FeFET-Based Ternary Neural Networks: Achieving Robust Compute-In-Memory With Weight-Input Transformations

1.58-b FeFET-Based Ternary Neural Networks: Achieving Robust Compute-In-Memory With Weight-Input Transformations 150 150

Abstract:

Ternary weight neural networks (TWNs), with weights quantized to three states (−1, 0, and 1), have emerged as promising solutions for resource-constrained edge artificial intelligence (AI) platforms due to their high energy efficiency with acceptable inference accuracy. Further energy savings can be achieved with TWN accelerators utilizing techniques such as compute-in-memory (CiM) and …

A 1-8 GHz, 190MHz BB BW Mixer-First Receiver With Bootstrapped Mixer Switches Achieving Over 16dBm In-Band IIP3 150 150

Abstract:

In this article, we propose a wideband mixer-first receiver with improved in-band (IB) linearity. It uses bootstrapped N-path mixer switches to achieve a constant on-state gate–source voltage for large IB signals. We analyze the tradeoff between on-state resistance and off-state subthreshold current in conventional mixer switches and introduce a …
