  • The Architecture of a Reusable Built-In Self-Test for Link Training, IO and Memory Defect Detection and Auto Repair on 14nm Intel SOC

    Creator:
    Querbach, Bruce
    Abstract:
    The complexity of designing and testing today's system on chip (SOC) is increasing due to greater integrated circuit (IC) density and higher IO and memory frequencies. SOCs for the mobile phone and tablet market have the unique challenge of short product development windows, at times less than six months, and...

  • Analysis and design on low-power multi-Gb/s serial links

    Creator:
    Hu, Kangmin
    Abstract:
    High speed serial links are critical components for addressing the growing demand for I/O bandwidth in next-generation computing applications, such as many-core systems, backplane and optical data communications. Due to continued process scaling and circuit innovations, today's CMOS serial link transceivers can achieve tens of Gb/s per pin. However, most...

  • Methods to improve the reliability and resiliency of near/sub-threshold digital circuits

    Creator:
    Crop, Joseph A.
    Abstract:
    Energy consumption is one of the primary bottlenecks to both large and small scale modern compute platforms. Reducing the operating voltage of digital circuits to voltages where the supply voltage is near or below the threshold of the transistors has recently gained attention as a method to reduce the energy...

  • Energy-efficient, short-range ultra-wideband radio transceivers

    Creator:
    Hu, Changhui
    Abstract:
    Short-range wireless communications continually attract interest from both industry and academia, and it is changing our life in every aspect in the last decade. The design of wireless transceivers is the bottleneck for variety applications, due to RF modeling inaccuracy, stringent FCC regulations over the transmitted power spectrum, interference, multi-path...

  • Compressive Sensing for Low Power Sensor Design

    Creator:
    Behravan, Vahid
    Abstract:
    Recent sensor System-on-Chips (SoC) have enabled significant advances in energy-efficiency by incorporating various micro-powered building blocks. Unfortunately, most of these sensor systems do not address the high power cost associated with data storage and transmission, which in some cases vastly exceeds the power consumed by the rest of the SoC....

  • Design Techniques of High-Speed Silicon Photonics Transceiver

    Creator:
    Li, Hao
    Abstract:
    The rapid scaling of network bandwidth and data center throughput has motivated the wide adoption of high speed transceivers. Silicon photonics (Si-Photonic) is one of the most promising techniques to realize tightly integrated optical transceivers for next-generation high speed I O standards. This dissertation focuses on the design techniques of...
