Reliable Circuit Techniques for Low-Voltage Analog Design in Deep Submicron Standard CMOS

    • Dr. Christian Fayomi

    • Assistant Professor, Université du Québec à Montréal (UQÀM)

  • View details »

    An overview of circuit techniques dedicated to design reliable low-voltage (1-V and below) analog functions in deep submicron standard CMOS processes. The challenges of designing such low-voltage and reliable analog building blocks are addressed both at circuit and physical layout levels. State-of-the-art circuit topologies and techniques (input level shifting, bulk and current driven, DTMOS), used to build main analog modules (operational amplifier, analog CMOS switches) are covered with the implementation of MOS capacitors.

Low Power, Robust SRAMs for nano-metric Technologies

    • Manoj Sachdev

    • Professor, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Waterloo

  • View details »

    Embedded random access memories can occupy up to 70% of the total area of modern System on Chips (SoCs). Embedded SRAMs are the most popularly used due to their robustness compared to DRAMs. Owing to a number of constraints, embedded SRAMs have a significant impact on power, performance, testability and yield of complex SoCs. In this presentation, some of these issues will be discussed.
