The front-end electronics (FEE) of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) is needed very low power consumption and higher readout bandwidth to match the low power requirement of its Short Strip application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC) (SSA) and to handle a large number of pileup events in the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (LHC). A low-noise, wide bandwidth, and ultra-low power FEE for the pixel-strip sensor of the CMS has been designed and simulated in a 0.35 µm Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) process. The design comprises a Charge Sensitive Amplifier (CSA) and a fast Capacitor-Resistor-Resistor-Capacitor (CR-RC) pulse shaper (PS). A compact structure of the CSA circuit has been analyzed and designed for high throughput purposes. Analytical calculations were performed to achieve at least 998 MHz gain bandwidth, and then overcome pileup issue in the High-Luminosity LHC. The spice simulations prove that the circuit can achieve 88 dB dc-gain while exhibiting up to 1 GHz gain-bandwidth product (GBP). The stability of the design was guaranteed with an 82-degree phase margin while 214 ns optimal shaping time was extracted for low-power purposes. The robustness of the design against radiations was performed and the amplitude resolution of the proposed front-end was controlled at 1.87% FWHM (full width half maximum). The circuit has been designed to handle up to 280 fC input charge pulses with 2 pF maximum sensor capacitance. In good agreement with the analytical calculations, simulations outcomes were validated by post-layout simulations results, which provided a baseline gain of 546.56 mV/MeV and 920.66 mV/MeV, respectively, for the CSA and the shaping module while the ENC (Equivalent Noise Charge) of the device was controlled at 37.6 e− at 0 pF with a noise slope of 16.32 e−/pF. Moreover, the proposed circuit dissipates very low power which is only 8.72 µW from a 3.3 V supply and the compact layout occupied just 0.0205 mm2 die area.

A low input step-up DC/DC converter and power manager in 0.18-μm CMOS process is presented. The proposed converter can work with the input voltage as low as 20 mV. The extremely low input voltage makes it suitable for energy harvesting and power management. Four logic controlled outputs provide the best voltage for various applications to accommodate low power design requirements. A low current low dropout regulator (LDO) is utilized to provide a regulated 2.2 V output for powering low power processors or other low power integrated circuit (ICs). Reserve energy on the storage capacitor CSTORE provides power when the input voltage source is unavailable, thus prolongs the life of the system and expands the application range. Extremely low quiescent current (6 μA) and high efficiency design (64%@300 μA load current) ensure the fastest possible charge times of the output reservoir capacitor. This work provides a complete power management solution for wireless sensing and data acquisition.

This paper presents an offset-cancellation and low power cascaded comparator with new technique for flash Analog-to-Digital Converters. The improved structure cancels both input and output offset voltage by the feedback from outputs to common inputs. The total current consumption is reduced sharply for a clock circle with 1:2 dutyratio. The improved comparator is implemented in 0.35μm CMOS process. The Spectre simulation results show that the offset voltage of the improved structure is 3.14996mV with σ = 2.0347mV,and total current consumption is 17.59μA, while the offset voltage and total current consumption of the primary one is -5.649mV with σ = 14.254mV and 57.18μA 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).

An ultra-low-power K-band LC-VCO (voltage-controlled oscillator) with a wide tuning range is proposed in this paper. Based on the current-reuse topology, a dynamic back-gate-biasing technique is utilized to reduce power consumption and increase tuning range. With this technique, small dimension cross-coupled pairs are allowed, reducing parasitic capacitors and power consumption. Implemented in SMIC 55 nm 1P7M CMOS process, the proposed VCO achieves a frequency tuning range of 19.1% from 22.2 GHz to 26.9 GHz, consuming only 1.9 mW–2.1 mW from 1.2 V supply and occupying a core area of 0.043 mm2. The phase noise ranges from −107.1 dBC/HZ to −101.9 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset over the whole tuning range, while the total harmonic distortion (THD) and output power achieve −40.6 dB and −2.9 dBm, respectively.
