This paper proposes a new design for hardening a CMOS memory cell at the nano feature size of 32 nm. By separating the circuitry for the write and read operations, the static stability of the proposed cell configuration increases more than 4.4 times at typical process corner, respectively compared to previous designs. Simulation shows that by appropriately sizing the pull-down transistors, the proposed...
An on-chip buck converter with 3D chip stacking is proposed and the operation is experimentally verified. The manufactured converter achieves a maximum power efficiency of 62% for an output current of 70mA with a switching frequency of 200MHz and a 2x2mm on-chip LC output filter in 0.35mum CMOS. The use of glass epoxy interposer to increase the maximum power efficiency up to 71.3%, and the power efficiency...
In this work, the bulk-gate controlled circuit to improve the power supply ripple ratio (PSRR) of a Low Dropout Regulator (LDO) which deteriorates due to lowering power consumption is proposed. Designing with 0.25 mum CMOS process, the simulation results by HSPICE shown that the proposed circuit provides a high performance of PSRR even though 1/10 of the power consumption is reduced compare to the...
This paper describes a comparative analysis between two topologies of operational amplifiers to design a 40 MS/s 12-bit pipeline analog to digital converter (ADC). The analysis includes AC and transient simulation to select the proper topology. This ADC is implemented in a 0.35 mum AMS CMOS technology with 3.3 V single power supply. The capacitors and selected operational amplifiers were scaled for...
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...
