This research proposed the design and calculations of ultra-low power (ULP) Doherty power amplifier (PA) using 65 nm CMOS technology. Both the main and the peaking amplifiers are designed and optimized using equivalent lumped parameters and power combiner models. The operation has been performed in RF-nMOS subthreshold or triode region to achieve ultra-low power (ULP) and to improve the linearity of the overall power amplifier (PA). The novel design consumes a DC power of 2.1 mW, power-added efficiency (PAE) of 29.8%, operating at 2.4 GHz band, and output referred 1 dB compression point at 4.1dBm. The simulation results show a very good capability of drive current, high gain, and very low input and output insertion losses.

With the existing technology and survey it indicates the increasing the number of transistors count and exploring methodologies leads to innovative design in memories. In general SRAM occupies considerable amount of area and less performance due to leakage power that limits the operation under sub threshold region. The power consumption of the circuit design is primarily depends on the switching activity of the transistor that leads to increasing of leakage current at near or subthreshold operation. Some of the challenges like PVT variations, SEU, SEE, and RDF lead to reduction in performance, increasing the power, BTI, sizing, delay and yield. The research work in this paper primarily describes the challenges with the technology and effects on CMOS & Finfet designs. The second aspect of the paper is to represents the design methodologies of CMOS & FinFET models and its operation. The third part of the paper explains design tradeoff of FinFET SRAM. Final sections present a comparison of high performance, low power at normal and near threshold operation. The Comparisons is made on the basis of process parameters and made a conclusion with circuit functionality, reliability under different technologies. FinFET based SRAM’s are the emerging memory trends by the performance under or near sub-threshold operation with the minimal variation in the leakage current, minimal gate delay is an alternate solution to the traditional CMOS memory designs as showed in the present work.

Abstract In this paper, the electrical performance of double gate DG-MOSFET transistors in 4H-SiC and 6H-SiC technologies have been studied by BSIM3v3 model. In which the I–V and gm–V characteristics and subthreshold operation of the DGMOSFET have been investigated for two models (series and parallel) based on equivalent electronic circuits and the results so obtained are compared with the single gate SG-MOSFET, using 130 nm technology and OrCAD PSpice software. The electrical characterization of DG-MOSFETs transistors have shown that they operate under a low voltage less than 1.2 V and low power for both models like the SG-MOSFET transistor, especially the series DG-MOSFET transistor is characterized by an ultra low power. The different transistors are characterized by an ultra low OFF leakage current of pA order, very high ON/OFF ratio of and high subthreshold slope of order 0.1 V/dec for the transistors in 6H-SiC and 4H-SiC respectively. These transistors also proved higher transconductance efficiency, especially the parallel DG-MOSFET transistor.
