A fourth-order low-pass continuous-time filter for a WSN transmitter is presented. The active RC filter was chosen for the high linearity, designed by using the leapfrog topology imitates the passive filter. The operation amplifier (op-amp) adopted by the filter is feed-forward operation amplifier, which could get the GBW as large as possible under the low power consumption. The cut-off frequency deviation due to the process corner, aging and temperature deviation is adjusted by an automatic frequency tuning circuit. The filter in a 0.18μm RF CMOS technology consumes 1mW from a 1V power supply. The measured results of the chip show that the bandwidth is about 1.5MHz. The voltage gain of filter is about-4.5dB with the buffer, the ripple in the pass-band is lower than 0.5 dB, and the channel rejection ratio is larger than 30dB at 4MHz.

In this paper, novel realization of low-voltage low-power active-RC complex filters is presented. The previously proposed method to compensate for opamp non-idealities in real active-RC filter design, which is suitable for low-power low-voltage application, is extended such that it can be used in the case of complex filter design. Subsequently, fifth-order Chebyshev complex filter with 1-MHz center frequency, bandwidth and 0.5-dB bandpass ripple has been designed for Bluetooth application. Simulation results show that the designed complex filter consumes about 1 mW under 1-V single supply. Its image rejection ratio (IRR) and out-of-band third-order input intercept point (IIP3) are about 80 dB and 37.5 dBV p respectively.

Static random access memory (SRAM) is an important component of embedded cache memory of handheld digital devices. SRAM has become major data storage device due to its large storage density and less time to access. Exponential growth of low power digital devices has raised the demand of low voltage low power SRAM. This paper presents design and implementation of 6T SRAM cell in 180 nm, 90 nm and 45 nm standard CMOS process technology. The simulation has been done in Cadence Virtuoso environment. The performance analysis of SRAM cell has been evaluated in terms of delay, power and static noise margin (SNM).

In this work, a new composite transistor cell using dynamic body bias technique is proposed. This cell is based on self cascode topology. The key attractive feature of the proposed cell is that body effect is utilized to realize asymmetric threshold voltage self cascode structure. The proposed cell has nearly four times higher output impedance than its conventional version. Dynamic body bias technique increases the intrinsic gain of the proposed cell by 11.17 dB. Analytical formulation for output impedance and intrinsic gain parameters of the proposed cell has been derived using small signal analysis. The proposed cell can operate at low power supply voltage of 1 V and consumes merely 43.1 nW. PSpice simulation results using 180 nm CMOS technology from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) are included to prove the unique results. The proposed cell could constitute an efficient analog Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) cell library in the design of high gain analog integrated circuits and is particularly interesting for biomedical and instrumentation applications requiring low-voltage low-power operation capability where the processing signal frequency is very low.
