P-Dits for the Frequency Assignment Problem With Transmitter Deactivation in Dense Environments

P-Dits for the Frequency Assignment Problem With Transmitter Deactivation in Dense Environments 150 150

Abstract:

The frequency assignment problem is a nondeterministic polynomial-time hard (NP-hard) optimization problem concerning the assignment of frequency channels to wireless transmitters. Typically, the aim is to minimize interference between transmitters while maintaining a high level of service. In this work, the use of probabilistic d-dimensional bits, or p-dits, for this …

TD-dAJC: A 100 MS/s 2 pJ/Pixel Time-Domain Weight and Integrating-MAC-Based Direct Analog to MJPEG Compression for Video Sensor Nodes

TD-dAJC: A 100 MS/s 2 pJ/Pixel Time-Domain Weight and Integrating-MAC-Based Direct Analog to MJPEG Compression for Video Sensor Nodes 150 150

Abstract:

Always-on, high-quality video sensors are increasingly required in wearables, surveillance, and Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices, where stringent energy constraints make efficient in-sensor compression necessary. These systems must support high-definition (HD) and 4 K video, yet conventional digital video compression pipelines consume significant power because high-speed analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) must digitize every pixel, …

A 96 × 64 SPAD LiDAR Sensor With 6× Imaging FoM Promotion by AI-Assisted Fusion of 2-D and Edge-Guided Sparse 3-D Detection 150 150

Abstract:

Flash-mode direct time-of-flight (dToF) light detection and ranging (LiDAR) is widely adopted in autonomous systems and robotics due to its capability for accurate depth measurement and robustness under challenging lighting conditions. However, scaling single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD)-based dToF pixel arrays toward higher resolution 3-D imaging introduces significant challenges in …

A 108-Gb/s PAM-8 CTLE + FFE Receiver Front-End With 1.4-Vppd Input Range in 28-nm CMOS 150 150

Abstract:

This article presents a 108-Gb/s 8-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM-8) receiver front-end capable of handling a wide input dynamic range to overcome the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) versus linearity tradeoff in higher-order modulation schemes. The proposed architecture employs a multi-path continuous-time linear equalizer (CTLE) with a bias-shifting technique, which splits …

An 18.4-Gb/s/pin Simultaneous Bidirectional Transceiver for Post HBM4 Using Four-Phase Hybrid Timing Alignment and Dual Equalization

An 18.4-Gb/s/pin Simultaneous Bidirectional Transceiver for Post HBM4 Using Four-Phase Hybrid Timing Alignment and Dual Equalization 150 150

Abstract:

This letter presents a simultaneous bidirectional (SBD) transceiver for post HBM4. It is difficult to increase the data rate due to poor channel characteristics of the silicon interposer and the limited physical area of the IO in high-bandwidth memory (HBM) interface. SBD signaling is attractive because it doubles the per-pin …
