This paper presents a new power efficient single ended sense amplifier (SA). The proposed circuit is based on the direct current voltage conversion technique. It has been simulated using Microwind3 and DSCH3 tools (advanced BSIM 4 level) for 90 nm CMOS technology in terms of power consumption, sense time and results were compared to other circuits. The proposed SA circuit consumes more than 50% less power and gives 90% faster sensing speed compared to other circuits. The lower power consumption is due to lower leakage current, lower voltage drop on bit-line and faster speed is due to positive feedback of the circuit. The proposed circuit is more robust against any process and temperature variation.

This paper presents the novel way to deal with diminish power utilization in a ternary content addressable memory (TCAM) designed in current innovation. The main aim of this TCAM design is to reduce the dynamic power consumption. In TCAM large amount of the power consumption happens during search operation, so we focussed on this area. Here right now give pragmatic plan of a TCAM which is arranged for low-power applications. Simulation of this design has done in Tanned EDA V.16 tool. For simulations of Low power TCAM designs we used predictive technology model (PTM) 45nm for high-performance applications which include metal gate, high-k and stress impact of CMOS technology.

AbstractUltracompact and low-power-consumption optical switches are desired for high-performance telecommunication networks and data centers. Here, we demonstrate an on-chip power-efficient 2 × 2 thermo-optic switch unit by using a suspended photonic crystal nanobeam structure. A submilliwatt switching power of 0.15 mW is obtained with a tuning efficiency of 7.71 nm/mW in a compact footprint of 60 μm × 16 μm. The bandwidth of the switch is properly designed for a four-level pulse amplitude modulation signal with a 124 Gb/s raw data rate. To the best of our knowledge, the proposed switch is the most power-efficient resonator-based thermo-optic switch unit with the highest tuning efficiency and data ever reported.

A new technique for reducing the offset of latch-type sense amplifier has been proposed and effect of enable signal voltage upon latch-type sense amplifier offset in SRAM has been investigated in this paper. Circuit simulation results on both StrongARM and Double-tail topologies show that the standard deviation of offset can be reduced by 31.23% (StrongARM SA) and 25.2% (Double-tail SA) , respectively, when the voltage of enable signal reaches 0.6V in TSMC 65nm CMOS technology. For a column of bit-cell (1024 bit-cell), the total speed is improved by 14.98% (StrongARAM SA) and 22.26% (Double-tail SA) at the optimal operation point separately, and the total energy dissipation is reduced by 30.45% and 29.47% with this scheme.

A low power readout integrated circuit (ROIC) for 512 × 512 cooled infrared focal plane array (IRFPA) is presented. A capacitive trans-impedance amplifier (CTIA) with high gain cascode amplifier and inherent correlated double sampling (CDS) configuration is employed to achieve a high performance readout interface for the IRFPA with a pixel size of 30 × 30 μm2. By optimizing column readout timing and using two operating modes in column amplifiers, the power consumption is significantly reduced. The readout chip is implemented in a standard 0.35 μm 2P4M CMOS technology. The measurement results show the proposed ROIC achieves a readout rate of 10 MHz with 70 mW power consumption under 3.3 V supply voltage from 77 K to 150 K operating temperature. And it occupies a chip area of 18.4 × 17.5 mm2.


Memories are an essential unit of any digital circuit, thus their power consumption must be considered during the designing process of the cells. To improve performance, reduce delay and increase stability, it is advisable to decrease the power consumed by the memory. Due to high demand of speed, high performance, there’s a need to decrease the size of the device, thereby increasing the devices placed per chip. This high integration makes chips more complex but improves device performance. Design of SRAM cells with speed and low power is crucial so as to replace DRAMs. The layout of SRAM has advanced to meet the requirements of the present industry in accordance with parameters like delay, power consumption and stability etc. This paper presents the aim of analyzing different technologies used to make SRAM more efficient in terms of parameters such as static noise margin, latency and dissipation of power. The stability investigation of SRAM cells are usually derived from the Static Noise Margin (SNM) analysis. Here we observe a SRAM design which has used dynamic logic and pass transistor logic. We further study the effects made on this design by employing various technologies such as AVL-S, AVL-G, AVL and MT-CMOS, at 180nm CMOS technology to achieve enhancements in delay, power consumption and performance. The proposed circuits are simulated and the results obtained have been analyzed to show significant improvement over conventional SRAM designs. Cadence Virtuoso simulation is used to confirm all the results obtained in this paper for the simulation of 180 nm CMOS technology SRAMs.


With the crisis of power across the globe, green communication and power-efficient devices are getting more and more attention. This work emphasis about the implementation of Control Unit (CU) circuit on FPGA kit.

In this paper, a new design of the electro-optical tuning voltage in buried fiber ring resonator (BFRR) system is proposed. The crystals of LiNbO3, (Ba, Sr)TiO3, K(Ta, Nb)O3 and KH2PO4 are used as electro-optic core materials. The applied voltage can generate different refractive index deformation when used different electro-optic crystals. Different electro-optic crystals produce distinct maximum power loss within BFRR. The power loss in an electro-optic crystal can be controlled by tuning the applied voltage. The K(Ta, Nb)O3 crystal produce maximum power loss with lower voltage compared to other crystals.

A novel envelope modulator for envelope tracking RF power amplifier (PA) is presented in this paper. The proposed modulator consists of a parallel combination of analog class AB and digitally controlled hybrid PAs. The analog and digital class AB PAs are effective in both reducing the clock frequency and also static power dissipation, thus improving the efficiency of the modulator. On the other hand, lower clock frequencies result in simpler and more power-efficient digital to analog converters required in the architecture. The modulator digital block is evaluated with a 45[Formula: see text]nm CMOS technology. The overall power consumption of the digital block is around 76[Formula: see text]mW at 800[Formula: see text]MHz clock frequency. As an application, the designed digital block is incorporated in a complete envelope modulator architecture. The overall efficiency of the modulator, including the digital block power consumption, is around 80.7% at an average 32[Formula: see text]dBm output power for a 5[Formula: see text]MHz input signal.

As power consumption is one of the major issues in biomedical implantable devices, in this paper, a novel quantization method is proposed for successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) which can save 80% power consumption in contrast to conventional structure for electroencephalogram (EEG) signal recording systems. According to the characteristics of neural signals, the principle of the proposed power saving technique was inspired such that only the difference between current input sample and the previous one is quantized, using a power efficient SAR ADC with fewer resolutions. To verify the proposed quantization scheme, the ADC is systematically modeled in Matlab and designed and simulated in circuit level using 0.18[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m CMOS technology. When applied to neural signal acquisition, spice simulations show that at sampling rate of 25[Formula: see text]kS/s, the proposed 8-bit ADC consumes 260[Formula: see text]nW of power from 1.8[Formula: see text]V supply voltage while achieving 7.1 effective number of bits.

This paper, presents a new full-swing low power high performance full adder circuit in CMOS technology. It benefits from a full swing XOR-XNOR module with no feedback transistors, which decreases delay and power consumption. In addition, high driving capability of COUT module and low PDP design of SUM module contribute to more PDP reduction in cascaded mode. In order to have accurate analysis, the new circuit along with several well-known full adders from literature have been modeled and compared with CADENCE. Comparison consists of power consumption, performance, PDP, and area. Results show that there are improvements in both power consumption and performance. This design trades area with low PDP.
