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 …

RXO-LDPC: A Physics-Inspired Relaxation Oscillator-Based Solver Leveraging Six-Body Spin Interactions for Soft Decoding of LDPC Codes

RXO-LDPC: A Physics-Inspired Relaxation Oscillator-Based Solver Leveraging Six-Body Spin Interactions for Soft Decoding of LDPC Codes 150 150
Author(s): Evangelos Dikopoulos, Luke Wormald, Ying-Tuan Hsu, Wei Tang, Po-Shao Chen, Zhengya Zhang, Michael P. Flynn

Abstract:

Physics-inspired computing harnesses continuous-time (CT) operation, massive parallelism, and direct compute load mapping to coupled CMOS-based spins to accelerate solving complex optimization problems. This work advances the field by introducing relaxation oscillator (RXO)-low-density parity check (LDPC), a combinatorial optimization problem (COP) engine that natively supports six-body spin interactions for …

A Passive and Scalable High-Order Neuromorphic Circuit Enabled by Mott Memristors 150 150
Author(s): Zikang Lin, Xiaohui Wu, Shujing Zhao, Weihua Liu, Xin Li, Li Geng, Chuanyu Han

Abstract:

In this study, VO2 Mott memristors have been successfully fabricated, leading to the proposal of a passive and scalable high-order neural circuit. This circuit consists of two coupled VO2 Mott memristors, two resistors, and three capacitors. The proposed high-order neural circuit demonstrates 11 distinct firing behaviors similar to those of biological …

A Ping-Pong Charge-Sharing Locking PLL With Implicit Reference Doubling and Simultaneous Frequency/Duty-Cycle Calibrations

A Ping-Pong Charge-Sharing Locking PLL With Implicit Reference Doubling and Simultaneous Frequency/Duty-Cycle Calibrations 150 150
Author(s): Sayan Kumar, Teerachot Siriburanon, Sumit Dash, Patchara Sawakewang, Shuja Andrabi, Jon Strange, Khurram Muhammad, Chih-Ming Hung, Robert Bogdan Staszewski

Abstract:

We propose a new ping-pong (PP) charge-sharing locking (CSL) phase-locked loop (PLL) architecture that enhances the strength of charge-injection into the oscillator’s LC-tank using complementary charge-sharing capacitors during both positive and negative halves of the reference clock, effectively achieving an implicit $2times $ reference frequency multiplication. The design includes a …

A Multi-Core Series-Resonance CMOS Oscillator

A Multi-Core Series-Resonance CMOS Oscillator 150 150
Author(s): Shiwei Zhang, Wei Deng, Haikun Jia, Zhihua Wang, Baoyong Chi

Abstract:

Multi-core and series-resonance (SR) techniques have been proposed to achieve ultra-low phase noise (PN) performance. In this article, a scalable ring-coupling scheme is proposed for multi-core expansion. The mechanism provides intrinsic oscillation and PN reduction without compromising the passive network, specifically tailored for the SR oscillator. The dual closed ring …
