This paper presents a dynamic latched comparator suitable for applications with very low supply voltage. It adopts a circuit topology with a separated input stage and two cross-coupled pairs (nMOS and pMOS) stages in parallel instead of stacking them on top of each other as previous works. This circuit topology enables fast operation over a wide input common-mode voltage and supply voltage range....
Soft errors induced by cosmic radiation have become an urgent issue for ultra-deep-sub-micron (UDSM) technologies. In this paper, we propose a new radiation hardened by design latch (RHBDL). RHBDL can improve robustness by masking the soft errors induced by SEU and SET. We evaluate the propagation delay, power dissipation and power delay product of RHBDL using SPICE simulations. Compared with existing...
While the CMOS analog circuits can be designed with the minimum-gate-length of the fabrication process in the alpha-power law MOSFET model, the length of a MOSFET gate has been chosen to be a larger scale than the minimum-gate-length in the conventional Shockleypsilas square model. In this paper, we describe a 6-b 100 MSPS CMOS current steering digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with the alpha-power...
Timing-error detection and recovery circuits are implemented in a 65 nm resilient circuit test-chip to eliminate the clock frequency guardband from dynamic supply voltage (VCC) and temperature variations as well as to exploit path-activation probabilities for maximizing throughput. Two error-detection sequential (EDS) circuits are introduced to preserve the timing-error detection capability of previous...
Class D amplifiers are becoming the most feasible solution for embedded audio application. However, distortions due to the non-linear nature of switching stage are the main drawback for this amplifier topology. This paper discusses the design and implementation of high fidelity audio class D using sliding mode control scheme. This design method proves to be a cost effective solution for industrial...
A novel 50% duty-cycle corrector (DCC) of digital signal processing (DSP) systems, designed with a purely digital phase-blending technique, is presented in this paper. The novel features of the proposed DCC includes a higher reliability against process, voltage and temperature variation due to the use of the synchronous mirror delay (SMD) technique, no-skew output clock, and a much faster duty-cycle...
