This paper presents an analog design methodology, which uses the selection of the inversion coefficient of MOS devices, to design low-voltage and low-power (LVLP) CMOS voltage references. The motivation of this work comes from the demand for analog design methods that optimize the sizing process of transistors working in subthreshold operation. The advantage of the presented method – compared to the traditional approaches for circuit design – is the reduction of design cycle time and the minimization of simulation iterations when the proposed equations are used. As a case study, a LVLP voltage reference based on subthreshold MOSFETs with a supply voltage of 0.7 V was designed in a 0.18-μm CMOS technology.

This article presents a low power digital controlled oscillator (DCO) with an ultra low power duty cycle correction (DCC) scheme. The DCO with the complementary cross-coupled topology uses the controllable tail resistor to improve the tail current efficiency. A robust duty cycle correction (DCC) scheme is introduced to replace self-biased inverters to save power further. The proposed DCO is implemented in a Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC) 40 nm CMOS process. The measured phase noise at room temperature is −115 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset with a dissipation of 210 μμW at an oscillating frequency of 2.12 GHz, and the resulin figure-of-merit is s −189 dBc/Hz.

A semicustom ASIC design methodology is used to develop a low power DSP core for mobile (battery powered) applications. Different low power design techniques are used, including dual voltage, low power library elements, accurate power reporting, pseudomicrocode, transition-once logic, clock gating, and others.
