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

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

A Passive and Scalable High-Order Neuromorphic Circuit Enabled by Mott Memristors 150 150

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

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

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 …
