Accurate and efficient simulation of synchronous digital switching noise in system on a chip

Creator:: Habal, Husni
Abstract:: A new method is presented to compress switching information in large digital circuits. This is combined with an efficient approach of generating the noise signatures of cells in a digital library that results in an accurate and efficient approach for estimating the noise generated in digital circuits. This method provides...

Substrate noise coupling analysis in 0.18um silicon germanium (SiGe) and silicon on insulator (SOI) processes

Creator:: Pham, Hui En
Abstract:: Analysis of substrate noise coupling has been performed for a 0.18¹m lightly doped silicon germanium BiCMOS process. Techniques to minimize noise coupling in the chip and board design are presented, as well as methods for accurate modeling for substrate noise coupling simulations. Measurements from a test chip were taken to...

Energy efficient communication across on-chip wires in digital CMOS

Creator:: Postman, Jacob
Abstract:: For the past half century, CMOS process scaling has followed Moore's law, approximately doubling transistor density every 18 months. While locally routed wires have generally scaled with transistor size, longer wires have scaled at a slower rate and in some cases have grown larger as chip size and complexity have...

Correlated level shifting as a power-saving method to reduce the effects of finite DC gain and signal swing in opamps

Creator:: Gregoire, B. Robert
Abstract:: This thesis presents methods to reduce the effects of finite opamp DC gain, output voltage swing limitations in opamps, and component mismatches. The primary contribution of this thesis is a new switched-capacitor method named correlated level shifting (CLS). CLS enables true rail-to-rail operation by storing an estimate of the desired...

Substrate noise coupling in ring oscillator-based phase locked loops

Creator:: Shreeve, Robert
Abstract:: In this thesis, the performance degradation of a phase-locked loop due to substrate noise is examined. A new analytical equivalent circuit model for substrate noise coupling is derived for a heavily doped silicon substrate. The model has been validated with measured data from a 0.35 μm CMOS process. Since the...

Linear and nonlinear feedback linearization of radio frequency power amplifiers

Creator:: Bogya, Robert I.
Abstract:: Radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers (PA) are the most power consuming components of a mobile communications unit. They are used to convert the DC power from the battery into RF power delivered to the antenna. In a cell phone it becomes very important to use highly efficient power amplifiers, such...

Measurement and analysis of soft error vulnerability of low-voltage logic and memory circuits

Creator:: Pawlowski, Robert
Abstract:: Scaling the supply voltage into the sub/near-threshold domain is one of the most effective methods for improving the energy efficiency of next-generation electronic microsystems. Unfortunately, the relationship between low-voltage operation and radiation-induced soft error rate is not widely known, as little research has been previously performed and reported for soft-error...
