A MEMS-Free 4096-Pixel CMOS E-Nose Array With MOF-Based Molecular Selectivity, In-Pixel Thermal Regeneration, and a Compact Single-Coefficient Bandpass Sigma–Delta ADC

A MEMS-Free 4096-Pixel CMOS E-Nose Array With MOF-Based Molecular Selectivity, In-Pixel Thermal Regeneration, and a Compact Single-Coefficient Bandpass Sigma–Delta ADC 150 150

Abstract:

This work presents a CMOS-only [micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS)-free] electronic nose (e-nose) for concurrent multi-gas-sensing applications. The proposed system integrates 4096 capacitance-to-digital converter (CDC) pixels, each implementing a compact bandpass sigma–delta ( $\Sigma \Delta $ ) ADC with a single feedback coefficient and no additional feedforward or feedback paths, achieving each pixel footprint …

An Eye-Opening Arbiter PUF With Auto-Error Detection and PVT-Robust Masking Achieving a BER of 2e-8

An Eye-Opening Arbiter PUF With Auto-Error Detection and PVT-Robust Masking Achieving a BER of 2e-8 150 150

Abstract:

A hybrid ring oscillator (RO)/ arbiter physical unclonable function (PUF) is implemented in a 28-nm CMOS, where two competing ROs accumulate a sufficiently large phase difference exceeding a predefined deadzone (DZ). The resulting eye-opening arbiter (EOA) architecture enables a prediction of PUF bit stability over temperature change (from −40 °C to $125~^{\…

A 70-GHz Bandwidth Amplifier With Integrated Differential Bridged T-coil Peaking and Uniform Group Delay

A 70-GHz Bandwidth Amplifier With Integrated Differential Bridged T-coil Peaking and Uniform Group Delay 150 150

Abstract:

A two-stage amplifier in 22-nm FD-SOI CMOS integrates a fully-differential bridged T-coil for the first time. Circuit performance is benchmarked against an identical amplifier topology designed with single-ended T-coils (pseudo-differential) and an unpeaked reference. It realizes 70-GHz bandwidth with $12~\pm ~2$ -ps group delay and >10-dB return loss across 90 GHz. Bandwidth …

A Cryo-CMOS Smart Temperature Sensor for the Ultrawide Temperature Range From 5 K to 296 K

A Cryo-CMOS Smart Temperature Sensor for the Ultrawide Temperature Range From 5 K to 296 K 150 150

Abstract:

This work presents a cryo-CMOS smart temperature sensor operating from room temperature down to 5 K. By adopting sensing elements (CMOS bulk diodes, pMOS/DTMOS in weak inversion) that circumvent the poor cryogenic performance of Si BJTs, a robust switched-capacitor second-order sigma–delta readout and cryogenic-aware design techniques, the sensor achieves …

Actiniaria: Distributed Dynamic-IR-Drop-Aware Timing Monitor for AVFS With Lightweight Tentacles

Actiniaria: Distributed Dynamic-IR-Drop-Aware Timing Monitor for AVFS With Lightweight Tentacles 150 150

Abstract:

Advances in integrated circuit (IC) technology have amplified the effects of process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) variations, particularly dynamic IR drop, which severely affects timing. Post-silicon IR drop monitoring circuits are lacking, forcing designers to reserve substantial static guard bands for worst-case scenarios, compromising energy efficiency. Inspired by biomimetics, this …

PANNA: A 558 TOPS/W Pipelined All-Analog Neural Network Accelerator in 22 nm FD-SOI

PANNA: A 558 TOPS/W Pipelined All-Analog Neural Network Accelerator in 22 nm FD-SOI 150 150

Abstract:

Analog computing offers intrinsic energy and latency benefits that makes it attractive for real-time and edge applications. Conventional analog accelerators suffer from repeated conversions between analog and digital domain, which degrades efficiency and throughput. We propose an all-analog pipelined neural network accelerator architecture in 22 nm fully-depleted silicon-on-insulator (FD-SOI) complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (…

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

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 …
