A 0.19-PEF Bandwidth/Power Scalable Dynamic Amplifier 150 150

Abstract:

This letter presents an energy-efficient dynamic amplifier. It utilizes source-coupled input boosting and time-domain differential sampling techniques to boost the effective input signal by $4\times $ compared to its floating inverter amplifier (FIA) prototype without noise or power penalties. With discharge-based dynamic biasing, the bandwidth (BW) and power of the amplifier …

A 40-GS/s 8-bit Time-Interleaved ADC Featuring SFDR-Enhanced Sampling and Power-Efficient Time-Domain Quantization in 28-nm CMOS

A 40-GS/s 8-bit Time-Interleaved ADC Featuring SFDR-Enhanced Sampling and Power-Efficient Time-Domain Quantization in 28-nm CMOS 150 150

Abstract:

This article reports a 40-GS/s 8-bit time-interleaved (TI) time-domain (TD) gated-ring-oscillator analog-to-digital converter (GRO-ADC). An interleaving number of 32 is achieved with a single-channel 8-bit GRO-ADC operating at 1.25 GS/s, leading to a low front-end design complexity compared to recently published arts. The sampling front end employs a linearity-enhanced boosted …

LIF Neuron Based on a Charge-Powered Ring Oscillator in Weak Inversion Achieving 201 fJ/SOP

LIF Neuron Based on a Charge-Powered Ring Oscillator in Weak Inversion Achieving 201 fJ/SOP 150 150

Abstract:

This letter presents the experimental results of a leaky-integrate-and-fire neuron (LIF) neuron based on time-domain analog circuitry. This kind of neuron is the core of spiking neural network (SNN) used in edge applications. Edge applications require power-efficient neuron designs whose power consumption is extremely low when idle, and low when …
