Transmission Speed

In the present technology development billions of transistors are fabricated on a single chip, which improves the performance of circuits in terms of high data transmission speed and power consumption. This requirement of data transmission speed is achieved with the help of high-speed transceivers. In this paper, we present a high-speed asynchronous wave-pipelined serializer and deserializer (SerDes) transceiver implemented using current-mode logic (CML). This asynchronous transceiver circuit does not require a clock and therefore it saves large amount of power which is consumed in the phase locked loop (PLL) and frequency synthesizer circuits. Further, the proposed design is built using CML which saves more power. CML circuit operates at relatively higher speed as compared to CMOS circuits which helps the circuit to operate at higher data rate. Compared to conventional CML latch, a novel CML latch is proposed in our design to increase the speed. The circuit is implemented in standard CMOS 65-nm technology. The total power consumed by the serializer and deserializer is 9.32[Formula: see text]mW, which is very less as compared to published related works. The proposed asynchronous SerDes transceiver operates at 18.1-Gbps data transmission rate with low power dissipation.

Driving Signal

Process and supply variations all have a large influence on current-mode signaling (CMS) circuits, limiting their application on the fields of high-speed low power communication over long on-chip interconnects. A variation-insensitive CMS scheme (CMS-Bias) was offered, employing a particular bias circuit to compensate the effects of variations, and was robust enough against inter-die and intra-die variations. In this paper, we studied in detail the principle of variation tolerance of the CMS circuit and proposed a more suitable bias circuit for it. The CMS-Bias with the proposed bias circuit (CMS-Proposed) can acquire the same variation tolerance but consume less energy, compared with CMS-Bias with the original bias circuit (CMS-Original). Both the CMS schemes were fabricated in 180 nm CMOS technology. Simulation and measured results indicate that the two CMS interconnect circuits have the similar signal propagation delay when driving signal over a 10 mm line, but the CMS-Proposed offers about 9% reduction in energy/bit and 7.2% reduction in energy-delay-product (EDP) over the CMS-Original. Simulation results show that the two CMS schemes only change about 5% in delay when suffering intra-die variations, and have the same robustness against inter-die variations. Both simulation and measurements all show that the proposed bias circuits, employing self-biasing structure, contribute to robustness against supply variations to some extent. Jitter analysis presents the two CMS schemes have the same noise performance.

In this paper, we propose a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor (CIS) that has built-in mask circuits to selectively capture either edge-detection images or normal 8-bit images for low-power computer vision applications. To detect the edges of images in the CIS, neighboring column data are compared in in-column memories after column-parallel analog-to-digital conversion with the proposed mask. The proposed built-in mask circuits are implemented in the CIS without a complex image signal processer to obtain edge images with high speed and low power consumption. According to the measurement results, edge images were successfully obtained with a maximum frame rate of 60 fps. A prototype sensor with 1920 × 1440 resolution was fabricated with a 90-nm 1-poly 5-metal CIS process. The area of the 4-shared 4T-active pixel sensor was 1.4 × 1.4 µm2, and the chip size was 5.15 × 5.15 mm2. The total power consumption was 9.4 mW at 60 fps with supply voltages of 3.3 V (analog), 2.8 V (pixel), and 1.2 V (digital).

Number Of Iterations

For the greedy algorithm required a large number of iterations, this paper proposed one adaptive bit allocation algorithm based on Hughes-Hartogs algorithm which was improved greedy algorithm .Under the constraint of bit error rate and data transmission rate, the algorithm first used the Chow algorithm to allocate some of the bits, and then used the greedy algorithm to allocate the remaining bits. When minimize the total power by this algorithm, the iterations of this algorithm were significantly less than the greedy algorithm. By computer simulation, the results showed that performance of this algorithm was very close to the greedy algorithm, and the number of this algorithm’s iterations was 7.4%~34% of the greedy algorithm.

Power Delay Product

The recent increase in popularity of portable systems and rapid growth of packaging density in VLSI circuit’s has enable designers to design complex functional units on a single chip. Power, area and speed plays a major role in the design and optimization of an integrated circuit. Carry select adder is high speed final stage adder widely used in many data processing units. In this work, conventional D-flip flop is replaced by a new design using negative edge triggered D-flip flop. The proposed CSA is implemented in a faster partitioned Dadda multiplier and simulated by using MICROWIND tool. The results reveal that for 16 bit CSA improvement of power delay product (PDP) of the proposed design using negative edge triggered D flip flop is 78% & 18% when compared to CSA with BEC and CSA with conventional D flip flop. When CSA implemented in a partitioned Dadda multiplier it results in performance improvement of 74 % with little increase in total power dissipation.
