High-speed accumulators are frequently used as a benchmark of the high-speed performance and ability to yield large scale circuits in InP double hetereojunction bipolar (DHBT) processes. In previous work, we reported test results of an InP DHBT 4-bit accumulator with 624 transistors operating at 41 GHz clock frequency with a power consumption of 4.1W. In this work, we report on modifications that allow the circuit to operate at a lower supply voltage and a corresponding lower power consumption. Simulation results for this modification indicate that a 16% power reduction can be obtained, while maintaining a high-speed operating frequency of 40 GHz.

The continuous scaling down of metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) led to the considerable impact in the analog-digital mixed signal integrated circuit design for system-on-chips (SoCs) application. SoCs trends force ADCs to be integrated on the chip with other digital circuits. These trends present new challenges in ADC circuit design based on existing CMOS technology. In this paper, we have designed and analyzed a 3-bit high speed, low-voltage and low-power flash ADC at 32nm CNFET technology for SoC applications. The proposed ADC utilizes the Threshold Inverter Quantization (TIQ) technique that uses two cascaded carbon nanotube field effect transistor (CNFET) inverters as a comparator. The TIQ technique proposed has been developed for better implementation in SoC applications. The performance of the proposed ADC is studied using two different types of encoders such as ROM and Fat tree encoders. The proposed ADCs circuits are simulated using Synopsys HSPICE with standard 32nm CNFET model at 0.9 input supply voltage. The simulation results show that the proposed 3 bit TIQ technique based flash ADC with fat tree encoder operates up to 8 giga samples per second (GSPS) with 35.88µW power consumption. From the simulation results, we observed that the proposed TIQ flash ADC achieves high speed, small size, low power consumption, and low voltage operation compared to other low power CMOS technology based flash ADCs. The proposed method is sensitive to process, temperature and power supply voltage variations and their impact on the ADC performance is also investigated.

The conventional shift register consists of master and slave (MS) latches with each latch receiving the data from the previous stage. Therefore, the same data are stored in two latches separately. It leads to consuming more electrical power and occupying more layout area, which is not satisfactory to most circuit designers. To solve this issue, a novel cross-latch shift register (CLSR) scheme is proposed. It significantly reduced the number of transistors needed for a 256-bit shifter register by 48.33% as compared with the conventional MS latch design. To further verify its functions, this CLSR was implemented by using TSMC 40 nm CMOS process standard technology. The simulation results reveal that the proposed CLSR reduced the average power consumption by 36%, cut the leakage power by 60.53%, and eliminated layout area by 34.76% at a supply voltage of 0.9 V with an operating frequency of 250 MHz, as compared with the MS latch.

A novel low-power and high-speed D flip-flop is presented in this letter. The flip-flop consists of a single low-power latch, which is controlled by a positive narrow pulse. Hence, fewer transistors are used and lower power consumption is achieved. HSPICE simulation results show that power dissipation of the proposed D flip-flop has been reduced up to 76%. The operating frequency of the flip-flop is also greatly increased.

Time-based analog-to-digital converter is considered a crucial part in the design of software-defined radio receivers for its higher performance than other analog-to-digital converters in terms of operation speed, input dynamic range and power consumption. In this paper, two novel voltage-to-time converters are proposed at which the input voltage signal is connected to the body terminal of the starving transistor rather than its gate terminal. These novel converters exhibit better linearity, which is analytically proven in this paper. The maximum linearity error is reduced to 0.4%. In addition, the input dynamic range of these converters is increased to 800 mV for a supply voltage of 1.2 V by using industrial hardware-calibrated TSMC 65 nm CMOS technology. These novel designs consist of only a single inverter stage, which results in reducing the layout area and the power consumption. The overall power consumption is 18 μW for the first proposed circuit and 15 μW for the second proposed circuit. The novel converter circuits have a resolution of 5 bits and operate at a maximum clock frequency of 500 MHz.

This paper describes the design of a high speed min/max architecture based on a new current comparator. The main advantage of the proposed circuit which employs a novel preamplifier-latch comparator is the higher operating frequency feature in comparison with previous works. Because the comparator can work in voltage mode, the min/max structure can be redesigned either in voltage or current mode. The designed comparator is refreshed without any external clock. Therefore, it does not degrade the speed performance of proposed min/max structure. These features along with low power consumption qualify the proposed architecture to be widely used in high speed fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs). Post-layout simulation results confirm 3.4 GS/s comparison rate with 9-bit resolution for a 0.9 V peak-to-peak input signal range for the comparator and 800 MHz operating frequency for min/max circuit. The power consumption of whole structure is 912 μW from a 1.8 V power supply using TSMC 0.18-μm CMOS technology.

Now a Days in modern VLSI technology different kinds of errors are invitable. A new type of adder i.e. error tolerant adder(ETA) is proposed to tolerate those errors and to attain low power consumption and high speed performance in DSP systems. In conventional adder circuit, delay is mainly certified to the carry propagation chain along the critical path, from the LSB to MSB. If the carry propagation can be eliminated by the technique proposed in this paper, a great improvement in speed performance and power consumption is achieved. By operating shifting and addition in parallel, the error tolerant adder tree compensates for the truncation errors. To prove the feasibility of the ETA, normal addition operation present in the DFT or DCT algorithm is replaced by the proposed addition arithmetic and the experimental results are shown. In this paper we propose error tolerant Adder (ETA). In the view of DSP applications the ETA is able to case the strict restriction on accuracy, speed performance and power consumption when compared to the conventional Adders, the proposed one provides 76% improvement in power-delay product such a ETA plays a key role in digital signal processing system that can tolerate certain amount of errors.

In this paper, a fin field-effect transistor (FinFET)-based domino technique dynamic node-driven feedback transistor domino logic (DNDFTDL) is designed for low-power, high-speed and improved noise performance. In the proposed domino technique, the concept of current division is explored below the evaluation network for enhancement of performance parameters. Simulations are carried out for 32-nm complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) and FinFET node using HSPICE for 2-, 4-, 8- and 16-input OR gates with a DC supply voltage of 0.9[Formula: see text]V. Proposed technique shows a maximum power reduction of 73.93% in FinFET short-gate (SG) mode as compared to conditional stacked keeper domino logic (CSKDL) technique and a maximum power reduction of 72.12% as compared to modified high-speed clocked delay domino logic (M-HSCD) technique in FinFET low-power (LP) mode. The proposed technique shows a maximum delay reduction of 35.52% as compared to voltage comparison domino (VCD) technique in SG mode and a reduction of 25.01% as compared to current mirror footed domino logic (CMFD) technique in LP mode. The unity noise gain (UNG) of the proposed circuit is 1.72–[Formula: see text] higher compared to different existing techniques in FinFET SG mode and is 1.42–[Formula: see text] higher in FinFET LP mode. The Figure of Merit (FOM) of the proposed circuit is up to [Formula: see text] higher as compared to existing domino logic techniques because of lower values of power, delay and area and higher values of UNG of the proposed circuit. In addition, the proposed technique shows a maximum power reduction of up to 68.64% in FinFET technology as compared to its counterpart in CMOS technology.
