A Calibration-Free Pipelined-SAR ADC With Cross-Stage Gain-Mismatch Error Shaping and Inherent Noise Shaping

A Calibration-Free Pipelined-SAR ADC With Cross-Stage Gain-Mismatch Error Shaping and Inherent Noise Shaping 150 150
Author(s): Jihang Gao, Yaohui Luan, Siyuan Ye, Jiajia Cui, Xinhang Xu, Linxiao Shen

Abstract:

This article presents a calibration-free pipelined-successive-approximation-register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) based on the proposed cross-stage gain-mismatch-error shaping (CS-GMES) mechanism. The CS-GMES is realized by including the entire 2nd stage into MES operation to unify the gain error and the 2nd-stage mismatch error. A feedback capacitor provides cross-stage connection and mismatch …

Abstract:

This letter presents an ultralow-noise, power-efficient, and pulse-width modulation (PWM)-dimming-tolerant photocurrent readout circuit for under-display ambient light sensor (ALS). A transimpedance amplifier (TIA) with a feedback diode achieves G $\Omega $ -level resistance and 6 fA/ $\surd $ Hz input current noise, enabling sub-pA resolution. Instability and noise folding are mitigated at …

A Compact, Highly-Digital Sensor-Fusion-Based Joint V dd-Temperature Sensor for SoC Thermal Management

A Compact, Highly-Digital Sensor-Fusion-Based Joint V dd-Temperature Sensor for SoC Thermal Management 150 150
Author(s): Hikmet Seha Öztürk, Julian Arenas, Carlos Tokunaga, Nasser Kurd, Visvesh S. Sathe

Abstract:

This article presents a fine-grained thermal sensing network for thermal management in SoCs. Sensor nodes in this network are made up of joint supply voltage ( $V_{\mathrm {dd}}$ ) and temperature ( $T$ ) sensors, which are compact and highly digital. Measurements from these simple but imperfect sensors are jointly processed to extract …

A 14-b Energy-Efficient BW/Power Scalable CTDSM With a Frequency-Controlled Current Source

A 14-b Energy-Efficient BW/Power Scalable CTDSM With a Frequency-Controlled Current Source 150 150
Author(s): Xinjie Wu, Xiaopeng Yu, Nick Nianxiong Tan, Zhong Tang

Abstract:

This work presents a 14-bit energy-efficient bandwidth (BW)/power scalable continuous-time delta–sigma modulator (CTDSM) for sensor interfaces in IoT applications. To ensure low noise for small input signals and achieve BW/power scalability, it is built around Gm-C integrators biased via a linear frequency-controlled current source (FCCS). The FCCS …

Frequency-Agile Self-Interference Cancellation in a Wideband Compact Full-Duplex Receiver Using Cascaded Low-Noise and High-Delay-Bandwidth-Product APFs

Frequency-Agile Self-Interference Cancellation in a Wideband Compact Full-Duplex Receiver Using Cascaded Low-Noise and High-Delay-Bandwidth-Product APFs 150 150
Author(s): Xingyu Ma, Wei Li, Shijiao Dong, Ruiyu Lyu, Fan Chen, Yunyou Pu, Chuangguo Wang, Hongtao Xu

Abstract:

Wideband self-interference cancellation (SIC) in a full-duplex (FD) system requires the cancellers to achieve flat nanosecond-scale RF delay while minimizing the noise penalty to the receiver (RX). This work proposes: 1) cascadable hybrid low-noise first-order all-pass filters (APFs) in the first tap of the RF canceller to reduce the noise figure (…

A Benchmark of Cryo-CMOS Dynamic Comparators in a 40 nm Bulk CMOS Technology

A Benchmark of Cryo-CMOS Dynamic Comparators in a 40 nm Bulk CMOS Technology 150 150
Author(s): Bram Veraverbeke, Filip Tavernier

Abstract:

All cryo-CMOS quantum-classical control interfaces require an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) bridging the analog qubits and the digital control logic. Dynamic comparators play a crucial role in the precision, speed, and power consumption of these ADCs. Yet, their performance is severely impacted by the cryogenic environment. Therefore, this letter benchmarks, for …

Ultra-Low-Power Dynamic-Bias Comparators With Self-Clocked Latch in 65-nm CMOS

Ultra-Low-Power Dynamic-Bias Comparators With Self-Clocked Latch in 65-nm CMOS 150 150
Author(s): Anojh Kumaran Rajendra, Harijot Singh Bindra, Bram Nauta

Abstract:

This article introduces two comparators featuring a dynamic-bias preamplifier and self-clocked latches, tailored for ultra-low-power and medium-speed applications with <500- $\mu $ V input-referred noise (IRN). The proposed self-clocked latches are activated by the preamplifier outputs and therefore operate with a lower common-mode current, which in turn minimizes the crowbar current …
