Low Offset

Circuit intricacy, speed, low-offset voltage, and resolution are essential factors for high-speed applications like analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The comparator circuit with preamplifier increases the power dissipation, as it requires higher amount of currents than the latch circuitry. In this research, a novel topology of dynamic latch comparator is illustrated, which is able to provide high speed, low offset, and high resolution. Moreover, the circuit is able to reduce the power dissipation as the topology is based on latch circuitry. The cross-coupled circuit mechanism with the regenerative latch is employed for enhancing the dynamic latch comparator performance. In addition, input-tracking phase is used to reduce the offset voltage. The Monte-Carlo simulation results for the designed comparator in 0.18 μm CMOS process show that the equivalent input-referred offset voltage is 720 μV with 3.44 mV standard deviation. The simulated result shows that the designed comparator has 8-bit resolution and dissipates 158.5 μW of power under 1.8 V supply while operating with a clock frequency of 50 MHz. In addition, the proposed dynamic latch comparator has a layout size of148.80 μm×59.70 μm.

A new dynamic comparator with offset elimination circuit is proposed. The offset elimination circuit decreases the influence of the offset voltage effectively and increases the resolution of the comparator. The simulation results show that, if the pre-set offset voltage is 10[Formula: see text]mV, the offset elimination circuit can decrease to the enough low value, which meets the requirements of the system. The standard deviation of the offset voltage decreases from 7.27[Formula: see text]mV to 1.15[Formula: see text]mV with the utilization of the offset elimination circuit in Monte Carlo simulation.

In this proposed work, a low offset voltage (mV) and high speed voltage comparator circuit is designed and simulated. With the unceasing rise of various wireless portable communication systems, high speed transceiver circuits, and high speed memory circuit design, sensitized sensor technologies, and wireless sensor network design, the design of high speed, low offset voltage and low power operated comparators are indispensable blocks in the design of a very good analog to digital converter architecture. The proposed work does not entail the usage of any pre-amplification stages, which accounts for the direct reduction of current consumption and silicon area. The MOSFETs at the input differential pair stage of the CMOS comparator circuit are designed to operate in near sub-threshold region rather than in saturation region to account for the low power consumption. The proposed double tail dynamic latched comparator in this work is implemented in 90μm CMOS technology with the operating power supply voltage (VDD) of 1.2 V and sampling frequency of 600 MHz using Microwind EDA tool. The simulated results indicate that the total power consumption is calculated to be of the order of 126.3μw with the delay of 876ps. From the obtained results, the proposed double tail dynamic latched circuit has considerably lowered both the propagation delay time and power consumption, when compared to the previous works.

A low power 12-bit, 20 MS/s asynchronously controlled successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to be used in wireless access for vehicular environment (WAVE) intelligent transportation system (ITS) sensor based application is presented in this paper. To optimize the architecture with respect to power consumption and performance, several techniques are proposed. A switching method which employs the common mode charge recovery (CMCR) switching process is presented for capacitive digital-to-analog converter (CDAC) part to lower the switching energy. The switching technique proposed in our work consumes 56.3% less energy in comparison with conventional CMCR switching method. For high speed operation with low power consumption and to overcome the kick back issue in the comparator part, a mutated dynamic-latch comparator with cascode is implemented. In addition, to optimize the flexibility relating to the performance of logic part, an asynchronous topology is employed. The structure is fabricated in 65 nm CMOS process technology with an active area of 0.14 mm2. With a sampling frequency of 20 MS/s, the proposed architecture attains signal-to-noise distortion ratio (SNDR) of 65.44 dB at Nyquist frequency while consuming only 472.2 µW with 1 V power supply.

This paper presents the low-power circuit techniques suitable for high-speed digital parallel interfaces each operating at over 10 Gbps. One potential application for such high-performance I/Os is the interface between the channel IC and the magnetic read head in future compact hard disk systems. First, a crosstalk cancellation technique using a novel data encoding scheme is introduced to suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI) generated by the adjacent parallel I/Os . This technique is implemented utilizing a novel 8-4-PAM signaling with a data look-ahead algorithm. The key circuit components in the high-speed interface transceiver including the receive sampler, the phase interpolator, and the transmitter output driver are described in detail. Designed in a 0.13-μm digital CMOS process, the transceiver consumes 310 mW per 10-Gps channel from a I-V supply based on simulation results. Next, a 20-Gbps continuous-time adaptive passive equalizer utilizing on-chip lumped RLC components is described. Passive equalizers offer the advantages of higher bandwidth and lower power consumption compared with conventional designs using active filter. A low-power, continuous-time servo loop is designed to automatically adjust the equalizer frequency response for the optimal gain compensation. The equalizer not only adapts to different channel characteristics, but also accommodates temperature and process variations. Implemented in a 0.25-μm, 1P6M BiCMOS process, the equalizer can compensate up to 20 dB of loss at 10 GHz while only consumes 32 mW from a 2.5-V supply.

Multipliers and Adders place an important role in various digital systems such as computers, process controllers and signal processors in order to achieve high speed and low power. Two input XOR/XNOR gate and 2:1 multiplexer modules are used to design the Hybrid Full adders. The XOR/XNOR gate is the key punter of power included in the Full adder cell. However this circuit increases the delay, area and critical path delay. Hence, the optimum design of the XOR/XNOR is required to reduce the power consumption of the Full adder Cell.
