  • Design techniques for clocking high performance signaling systems

    Creator:
    Hanumolu, Pavan Kumar
    Abstract:
    Scaling of CMOS technology has progressed relentlessly for the past several decades. In order for this unprecedented scaling to benefit the performance of large digital systems, the communication bandwidth between integrated circuits (ICs) must scale accordingly. However, interconnect technology does not scale as aggressively, making communication between chips the major...

  • Scalable Array Transceivers with Wide Frequency Tuning Range for Next Generation Radios

    Creator:
    Agrawal, Abhishek
    Abstract:
    Scalable array transceivers with wide frequency tuning range are attractive for next-generationradios. Key challenges for such radios include generation of LO signals with widefrequency tuning range, scalable synchronization between multiple array unit cells andtolerance to in-band and out-of-band interferers. This thesis presents approaches toaddress these challenges in commercial CMOS technologies.The...

  • 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...

  • Highly digital power efficient techniques for serial links

    Creator:
    Inti, Rajesh
    Abstract:
    Low power, high speed serial transceivers are employed in a wide range of applications ranging from chip-to-chip, backplane, and optical interconnects. Apart from being capable of handling a wide range of data rates, the transceivers should have low power consumption (mW/Gbps) and be fully integrated. This work discusses enabling techniques...

  • Low-power techniques for supply-noise mitigation in phase-locked loops

    Creator:
    Arakali, Abhijith
    Abstract:
    Modern day digital systems employ frequency synthesizers to provide a common clock to the system. They are undergoing large scale integration due to which, mitigation of the effect of noise on power supply has become a major design consideration in clocking circuits. Rapid scaling of CMOS technology mandates the design...
