In this paper, a multiplying digital-to-analog converter (MDAC) circuit for low-power high-resolution CMOS algorithmic A/D converters (ADC's) is proposed. The proposed MDAC is designed to operte properly at a supply at a supply voltge between 3 V and 5 V and employs an analog0domain power reduction technique based on a bias switching circuit so that the total power consumption can be optimized. As metal-to-metal capacitors are implemented as frequency compensation capacitors, opamps' performance can be varied by imperfect process control. The MDAC minimizes the effects by the circuit performance variations with on-chip tuning circuits. The proposed low-power MDAC is implementd as a sub-block of a 10-bit 200kHz algorithmic ADC using a 0.6 um single-poly double-metal n-well CMOS technology. With the power-reduction technique enabled, the power consumption of the experimental ADC is reduced from 11mW to 7mW at a 3.3V supply voltage and the power reduction ratio of 36% is achieved.

This work presents a low-power CMOS image sensor (CIS) with a multi-column-parallel (MCP) readout structure while focusing on improving its performance compared to previous works. A delta readout scheme that utilizes the image characteristics is optimized for the MCP readout structure. By simply alternating the MCP readout direction for each row selection, additional memory for the row-to-row delta readout is not required, resulting in a reduced area of occupation compared to the previous work. In addition, the bias current of a pre-amplifier in a successive approximate register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) changes according to the operating period to improve the power efficiency. The prototype CIS chip was fabricated using a 0.18-㎛ CMOS process. A 160 × 120 pixel array with 4.4 ㎛ pitch was implemented with a 10-bit SAR ADC. The prototype CIS demonstrated a frame rate of 120 fps with a total power consumption of 1.92 mW.

A fuzzy microcontroller is presented implementing a simplified inference mechanism. Fuzzification, rule composition and defuzzification are carried out by means of (basically) analog current-mode CMOS circuits operating in strong inversion. Also a voltage interface is provided with the external world. Combining analog and digital techniques allow a programming capability.

In this paper, the CMOS four-quadrant analog multipliers for low-voltage low-power applications are presented. The circuit approach is based on the characteristic of the LV (Low-Voltage) composite transistor which is one of the useful analog building blocks. SPICE simulations are carried out to examine the performances of the designed multipliers. Simulation results are obtained by $0.25{\mu}m$ CMOS parameters with 2V power supply. The LV composite transistor can easily be extended to perform a four-quadrant multiplication. The multiplier has a linear input range up to ${\pm}0.5V$ with a linearity error of less than 1%. The measured -3dB bandwidth is 290MHz and the power dissipation is $37{\mu}W$. The proposed multiplier is expected to be suitable for analog signal processing applications such as portable communication equipment, radio receivers, and hand-held movie cameras.

A phase-locked loop (PLL) is described which is operable from 0.4 GHz to 1.2 GHz. The PLL has basically the same architecture as the conventional analog PLL except the locking information is stored as digital code. An analog-to-digital converter is embedded in the PLL, converting the analog loop filter output to digital code. Because the locking information is stored as digital code, the PLL can be turned off during power-down mode while avoiding long wake-up time. The PLL implemented in a 0.18 ${\mu}m$ CMOS process occupies 0.35 $mm^2$ active area. From a 1.8 V supply, it consumes 59 mW and 984 ${\mu}W$ during the normal and power-down modes, respectively. The measured rms jitter of the output clock is 16.8 ps at 1.2 GHz.

심장박동 조절장치를 위한 저전압 저전력 전단 처리기를 제안한다. 제안된 회로는 80 Hz에서 120 Hz의 대역폭을 가지는 4차의 스위치드 커패시터 필터와 0 dB에서 24 dB까지 0.094 dB 간격으로 전압이득의 조절이 가능한 전압증폭기를 구현하였다. 낮은 전압에서 동작하고, 전력소모를 극소화하기 위해서 인버터 기반의 스위치드 커패시터 회로를 사용하였으며, 인버터가 가지는 작은 전압이득을 보상하기 위해서 상호상관 기법을 사용하였다. 제안된 회로는 $0.35-{\mu}m$ CMOS 공정을 이용하여 구현되었으며, 5kHz의 샘플링 주파수에서 80-dB의 SFDR을 가진다. 이때 전력소모는 1 V의 전원전압에서 330 nW에 불과하다.
