Author(s): Yanquan Luo, Mingtao Zhan, Yi Zhong, Nan Sun

Abstract:

This paper presents a power-efficient hybrid ADC architecture: a low-resolution CT Delta-Sigma modulator (DSM) followed by a time-interleaved pipeline stage which further quantizes the quantization noise of the DSM. In the frontend CT DSM, the resistive input makes the ADC easy-to-drive, and the direct-charge-dump feedback provides a high jitter-immunity; the …

An 11.95-ENOB 560-MS/s Amplifier-Switching Subranging Analog-to-Digital Converter With Multi-Threshold Comparators

An 11.95-ENOB 560-MS/s Amplifier-Switching Subranging Analog-to-Digital Converter With Multi-Threshold Comparators 150 150
Author(s): Ritaro Takenaka, Tetsuya Iizuka

Abstract:

This article proposes a 14-bit, 560-MS/s subranging analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that employs an amplifier-switching architecture with multi-threshold comparators. The proposed amplifier-switching architecture reuses a flash quantizer multiple times during subranging conversion by amplifying the residue voltage with an appropriate gain at each quantization step. This approach reduces the required …

A Self-Injection LC Oscillator for Flicker Noise Reduction

A Self-Injection LC Oscillator for Flicker Noise Reduction 150 150
Author(s): Bahram Jafari, Ali Ghafari, Sankaran Aniruddhan, Shahriar Mirabbasi, Sudip Shekhar

Abstract:

Self-injection has been used in lasers and photonic integrated circuits to reduce the laser’s phase noise (PN). We show that self-injection can be leveraged in GHz LC oscillators as well. Our oscillator employs a current-domain self-injection technique by leveraging second-harmonic extraction, capacitive phase shifting, and self-mixing through the oscillator’…

Author(s): Xiongshi Luo, Xuewei You, Zhenghao Li, Hongzhi Wu, Yangyi Zhang, Fuzhan Chen, Xuxu Cheng, Wentao Zhou, Quan Pan

Abstract:

A dc-coupled analog single-ended (SE) transceiver (TRX) front-end supporting 224 Gb/s/lane is presented. It features SE-to-differential (S2D) and differential-to-SE (D2S) conversion, power-efficient broadband analog equalization, and noise suppression. Both the transmitter and receiver front-ends adopt pseudodifferential structures with dual-loop regulators to achieve a high power supply rejection …

Author(s): Tong Zhang, Yiwen Zhang, Xueke Cai, Weihao Jie, Yanling Zheng, Deyong Li, Yang Zhao, Yongfu Li, Honglan Jiang, Patrick P. Mercier, Hui Wang

Abstract:

This work presents a bandwidth augmented sub-sampling phase-locked loop (BASS-PLL) architecture that features simultaneous out-of-band noise suppression by direct and multipath sampling of the ring oscillator’s (ROs) output and in-band noise suppression via an intrinsic sub-sampling mechanism, ultimately combining the benefits of over-sampling PLLs (OS-PLLs) and sub-sampling PLLs (SS-PLLs) …

Author(s): Chenyang Li, Tzu-Han Wang, Dongsuk Kang, Ken Li, Xitie Zhang, Wei-En Lee, Visvesh S. Sathe, Shaolan Li

Abstract:

This article presents a two-step incremental analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that achieves high resolution and energy efficiency while substantially easing the input driving constraints and interstage gain variation. By employing a level-shifted sub-ranging architecture with an input-tracking (IT) feature, the design obviates direct input sampling, thereby significantly relaxing the demands on …

Author(s): Ahmed E. Abdelrahman, Mohamed Badr Younis, Mohamed Osama Selim, Mohamed Saad Aly, Mahmoud A. Khalil, Pavan Kumar Hanumolu

Abstract:

The rapid growth of data-intensive applications in modern data centers is driving demand for scalable, high-speed, and energy-efficient optical interconnects. Traditional noncoherent modulation schemes, such as pulse amplitude modulation (PAM), are reaching their scalability limits at higher data rates, making coherent detection increasingly attractive due to its higher spectral efficiency. …

Abstract:

Recently, 3-D human motion generation has become essential in media applications such as film production and augmented reality (AR)/virtual reality (VR) devices, requiring the generation of human joint movements and detailed 3-D meshes for each joint. Traditionally, joint creation required hours or even days, making it impractical for real-time …
