This paper describes the design and implementation of a reconfigurable low-power sigma-delta modulator (SDM) for multi-standard wireless communications in a 90 nm CMOS technology. Both architectural and circuital reconfigurations are used to adapt the performance of the modulator to multi-standard applications. The feasibility of the presented solution is demonstrated using system-level simulations as well as transistor-level simulations of the modulator. HSPICE simulation results show that the proposed modulator achieves 76.8/78.9/80.8/85/89.5 dB peak signal-to-noise plus distortion ratio (SNDR) within the standards WiFi, WiMAX, WCDMA, Bluetooth and GSM with the bandwidth of 12.5 MHz, 10 MHz, 1.92 MHz, 0.5 MHz, and 250 kHz, respectively, under the power consumption of 37/37/12/5/5 mW using a single 1 V power supply.

<em>In this paper floating gate MOS (FGMOS) along with sleep transistor technique and leakage control transistor (LECTOR) technique has been used to design low power SRAM cell. Detailed investigation on operation, analysis and result comparison of conventional 6T, FGSRAM, FGSLEEPY, FGLECTOR and FGSLEEPY LECTOR has been done. All the simulations are done in Cadence Virtuoso environment on 45 nm standard CMOS technology with 1 V power supply voltage. Simulation results show that FGSLEEPY LECTOR SRAM cell consumes very low power and achieves high stability compared to conventional FGSRAM Cell</em>

Data Switching

A novel low power clock gated successive approximation register (SAR) is proposed. The new register is based on gating the clock signal when there is no data switching activity. It operates with fewer transistors and no redundant transitions which makes it suitable for low power applications. The proposed register consisting of 8 bits has been designed up to the layout level with 1 V power supply in 90 nm CMOS technology and has been simulated using SPECTRE. Simulation results have shown that the proposed register saves up to 75% of power consumption.

Abstract The paper presents a second order current mode sigma-delta modulator designed with the help of a new elaborated tool to optimize the transistor sizes. The circuit is composed of two continuous time loop filters, a current comparator and a one bit DAC with a current output. The resulting circuit, designed in a 65 nm 1.2 V CMOS technology, has a bandwidth of 2 MHz for a clock frequency of 250 MHz. The electrical simulation results show that it achieves a maximum signal-to-noise-plus-distortion ratio (SNDR) of 53.6 dB while dissipating 93 μW, which corresponds to an efficiency of 59.7 fJ/conv. The fully current mode structure makes the circuit suitable to be applied in a current mode signal processing like biosensors or image pixels arrays.
