Author(s): Lautaro N. Petrauskas, Bahman K. Boroujeni, Frank Ellinger

Abstract:

In this work, a cross-coupled voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) for the high frequency RFID and citizen bands (CBs) is investigated, and implemented on a flexible Indium gallium zinc oxide thin film transistor (TFT) technology. To circumvent the challenges of integrating passive components in this frequency range and minimize the circuit’s …

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’…

Antiferromagnetic Programmable Neuron: Structure, Training, and Pattern Recognition Applications

Antiferromagnetic Programmable Neuron: Structure, Training, and Pattern Recognition Applications 150 150
Author(s): I. Sotnyk, O. Prokopenko

Abstract:

Artificial neurons based on antiferromagnetic (AFM) spin Hall oscillators (SHOs) are promising elements for creating ultra-fast, energy-efficient neuromorphic computing systems. These structures can generate picosecond spikes in response to dc and ac electric currents, thereby mimicking the reaction of biological neurons to an external stimuli. However, conventional AFM neurons have …

A 298–334-GHz Scalable Injection-Locked Phased-Array Radiator With Second-Subharmonic-Termination-Assisted Waveform Formulation for Power Enhancement

A 298–334-GHz Scalable Injection-Locked Phased-Array Radiator With Second-Subharmonic-Termination-Assisted Waveform Formulation for Power Enhancement 150 150
Author(s): Meng Yang, Liang Wu

Abstract:

This article introduces an injection-locked $4\times 2$ phased-array radiator featuring scalability in both horizontal and vertical dimensions. The system architecture is constructed by sequentially cascading four identical phase-shifting and frequency-quadrupling (PSFQ) elements in a chain-like configuration and then cohering two such chains, thereby achieving global frequency synchronization. Particularly, phase shifting and …

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

A 0.4-V 32-kHz Pulse-Injection Temperature-Compensated Crystal Oscillator With Sub-Cycle CL Modulation and DLL-Reused Temperature Sensor 150 150
Author(s): Haihua Li, Pui-In Mak, Rui P. Martins, Ka-Meng Lei

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 …

An 8.5 MHz 42 ppm/°C Relaxation Oscillator With Charge-Pump Delay Cancellation and Digital Chopping Demodulation

An 8.5 MHz 42 ppm/°C Relaxation Oscillator With Charge-Pump Delay Cancellation and Digital Chopping Demodulation 150 150
Author(s): Yongjia Li, Jianlin Xia, Feng Cheng, Yifan Cao, Jin Wu, Encheng Zhu, Xiaofeng Sun, Dejin Wang, Long Zhang, Zhongyuan Fang, Weifeng Sun

Abstract:

This letter presents an RC oscillator featuring a mixed-signal compensation loop that simultaneously mitigates comparator offset, loop delay, switch on-resistance, and temperature dependency. The oscillator employs an auxiliary comparator, a charge pump, and a differential difference amplifier (DDA)-based main comparator to suppress ramping voltage overshoots caused by device and …

A Fast Transient Response Fully Integrated LDO With a Novel Resetting Oscillator Control Method

A Fast Transient Response Fully Integrated LDO With a Novel Resetting Oscillator Control Method 150 150
Author(s): Masoud Kargaran, Amir Besharati Rad, Ali Medi

Abstract:

This article introduces a novel resetting oscillator regulator (ROR) control method for low-dropout (LDO) regulators, designed to achieve fast settling times for both load and reference input steps. The proposed ROR integrates a high-speed loop that independently functions as an oscillator in a closed-loop configuration, along with a separate high-rate …
