商品描述

With the fast advancement of CMOS fabrication technology, more and more signal-processing functions are implemented in the digital domain for a lower cost, lower power consumption, higher yield, and higher re-configurability. This has recently generated a great demand for low-power, low-voltage A/D converters that can be realized in a mainstream deep-submicron CMOS technology. However, the discrepancies between lithography wavelengths and circuit feature sizes are increasing. Lower power supply voltages significantly reduce noise margins and increase variations in process, device and design parameters. Consequently, it is steadily more difficult to control the fabrication process precisely enough to maintain uniformity. The inherent randomness of materials used in fabrication at nanoscopic scales means that performance will be increasingly variable, not only from die-to-die but also within each individual die. Parametric variability will be compounded by degradation in nanoscale integrated circuits resulting in instability of parameters over time, eventually leading to the development of faults. Process variation cannot be solved by improving manufacturing tolerances; variability must be reduced by new device technology or managed by design in order for scaling to continue. Similarly, within-die performance variation also imposes new challenges for test methods.

In an attempt to address these issues, Low-Power High-Resolution Analog-to-Digital Converters specifically focus on: i) improving the power efficiency for the high-speed, and low spurious spectral A/D conversion performance by exploring the potential of low-voltage analog design and calibration techniques, respectively, and ii) development of circuit techniques and algorithms to enhance testing and debugging potential to detect errors dynamically, to isolate and confine faults, and to recover errors continuously. The feasibility of the described methods has been verified by measurements from the silicon prototypes fabricated in standard 180nm, 90nm and 65nm CMOS technology.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

隨著CMOS製造技術的快速進步,越來越多的信號處理功能被實現在數位領域,以降低成本、降低功耗、提高良率和更高的可重構性。這最近對可以在主流深亞微米CMOS技術中實現的低功耗、低電壓的A/D轉換器產生了巨大的需求。然而,光刻波長與電路特徵尺寸之間的差異正在增加。較低的供電電壓顯著降低了噪聲裕度,並增加了製程、元件和設計參數的變異。因此,精確控制製造過程以維持均勻性變得越來越困難。在納米尺度上使用的材料固有的隨機性意味著性能將變得越來越不穩定,不僅在晶片之間,甚至在每個單獨的晶片內部。參數變異將因納米級集成電路的退化而加劇,導致參數隨時間的不穩定,最終導致故障的產生。製程變異無法僅通過改善製造公差來解決;必須通過新型元件技術來減少變異,或通過設計來管理,以便持續擴展。同樣,晶片內部性能變異也對測試方法提出了新的挑戰。

為了解決這些問題,《低功耗高解析度類比數位轉換器》專注於:i) 通過探索低電壓類比設計和校準技術的潛力,改善高速度和低雜散頻譜的A/D轉換性能的功率效率;ii) 開發電路技術和算法,以增強測試和除錯的潛力,動態檢測錯誤,隔離和限制故障,並持續恢復錯誤。所描述方法的可行性已通過在標準180nm、90nm和65nm CMOS技術中製造的矽原型的測量得到了驗證。
