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 …

Abstract:

Transformer models have revolutionized artificial intelligence (AI) applications across various domains, but their increasing complexity poses significant challenges in terms of computational and memory demands. While processing-in-memory (PIM) paradigms have been adopted to address these limitations, existing PIM-based transformer accelerators still face hurdles such as: 1) focusing solely on optimizing attention …

A 6.2b-ENOB 2.5 GS/s Flash-and-VCO-Based Subranging ADC Using a Residue Shifting Technique

A 6.2b-ENOB 2.5 GS/s Flash-and-VCO-Based Subranging ADC Using a Residue Shifting Technique 150 150
Author(s): Sungjin Kim, Jeonghyun Lee, Yoonse Cho, Jintae Kim, Jaehyouk Choi, Heein Yoon

Abstract:

This letter presents a 7-bit pipelined subranging ADC that integrates a 3-bit flash ADC with a ring VCO-based quantizer. A resistor-ladder-based residue shifter (RLRS) replaces traditional residue amplifiers, efficiently shifting the residue voltage into the most linear region of the $K_{textrm {VCO}}$ , thereby eliminating the need for post-linearity calibration. …
