A 6-bit Serializer With Integrated Manchester Encoder Using Flexible a-IGZO TFT Technology

A 6-bit Serializer With Integrated Manchester Encoder Using Flexible a-IGZO TFT Technology 150 150

Abstract:

This article presents an experimental characterization of a novel 6-bit parallel-to-serial data converter integrated with a Manchester encoder. The system comprises an on-chip digital logic block that generates six mutually nonoverlapping control signals ( $\phi _{0-5}$ ) and three 120° phase-shifted clock signals to drive the switching transistors in the serializer and the …

A 138 Gb/s D-Band 2-D Scalable Transceiver Array With On-Chip Antennas Achieving Sub-1-pJ/b Efficiency in 28-nm Bulk CMOS

A 138 Gb/s D-Band 2-D Scalable Transceiver Array With On-Chip Antennas Achieving Sub-1-pJ/b Efficiency in 28-nm Bulk CMOS 150 150

Abstract:

This article presents a D-band 2-D scalable phased array that integrates a $2{\,}\times{\,} 2$ transceiving (TRX) radio frequency (RF) beamformer with on-chip antennas (OCAs) and a $\times 16$ local-oscillator (LO) multiplication chain. The 2-D array scalability is demonstrated by tiling $2{\,}\times{\,} 2$ chips into an array using a low-cost package to build a 16…

A High-Speed D-FF and a 11-Bit Up-Down Counter Using Unipolar Oxide TFTs on a Flexible Foil

A High-Speed D-FF and a 11-Bit Up-Down Counter Using Unipolar Oxide TFTs on a Flexible Foil 150 150

Abstract:

This manuscript presents an experimental characterization of a novel high speed D flip-flop (D-FF). The circuit was fabricated on a $27\mu $ m thick flexible polyimide substrate using a nMOS only, single gate amorphous Indium-Gallium-Zinc-Oxide (a-IGZO) thin-film transistor (TFT) technology. Reliable response of the D-FF was noticed from measurements up to …
