In this paper, a low power and high speed flash Analog-to-Digital Converter using current-mode concept is proposed. Current-mode approach offers a number of advantages over conventional voltage-mode approach, such as lower power consumption small chip area improved accuracy etc. Rescently this concept was applied to algorithmic A/D Converter. But, its conversion speed is limited to medium speed. Consequently this converter is not applicable to the high speed signal processing system. This ADC is fabricated in 1.2um double metal CMOS standard process. This ADC's conversion time is measured to be 7MHz, and power consumption is 2.0mW, and differential nonlinearity is less than 1.14LSB and total harmonic distortion is -50dB. The active area of analog chip is about 350 x 550u$m^2$. The proposed ADC seems suitable for a single chip design of digital signal processing system required high conversion speed, high resolution small chip area and low power consumption.

A high-speed and accurate analog buffer is proposed for mobile display using LTPS TFTs. The proposed analog buffer is common source type with sampling and negative feedback mode. Therefore, driving speed of the proposed buffer is faster than previously reported one. In addition, the accuracy is very high because of high negative feedback gain. The simulation results show that maximum mischarging voltage of the proposed buffer is 8mV and previously reported one is 37mV. And Power consumption of the proposed buffer is $43.1{\mu}W$, which is 73% of previously reported one.

When an optical disc is being played. the pick-up converts light to analog signal at first. The analog signal is equalized for removing the inter-symbol interference and then the equalized analog signal is converted into the digital signal for extracting the synchronized data and clock signals. There are a lot of algorithms that minimize the BER in extracting the synchronized data and clock when high. density optical disc like BD is being played in low speed. But if the high-density optical disc is played in high speed, it is difficult to adopt the same extraction algorithm to data PLL and PRML architecture used in low speed application. It is because the signal with more than 800MHz should be processed in those architectures. Generally, in the 0.13-${\mu}m$ CMOS technology, it is necessary to have the high speed analog cores and lots of efforts to layout. In this paper, the parallel data PLL and PRML architecture, which enable to process in BD 8x speed of the maximum speed of the high-density optical disc as the extracting data and clock circuit, is proposed. Test results show that the proposed architecture is well operated without processing error at BD 8x speed.

A series of soil bin experiment was carried out on sandy loam to investigate if it is possible to predict implement draft by some analog tool. Chisel configuration resembling a cone penetrometer section was used as an analog tool. The angle of cone was 30 degree. Three types of tillage implement, or oriental janggi, moldboard plow and chisel plow were chosen for this study. Experimental tillage speed was 0.22, 0.33, 0.49 m/s ad tillage depth was 8, 12, 16cm. For the experimental tillage speed range, the increase of tillage speed did not affect the tillage draft for the three types of implement and analog tool, but as the tillage depth increased, tillage draft of the three types of implement and analog tool increased linearly. The linear relationship was found between the tillage draft of analog tool and that of three types of tillage implement for the experimental tillage depth and speed range with high value of $R^2$ Thus it was concluded from the above results that an analog tool can be used to predict the tillage draft of oriental janggi, moldboard plow and chisel plow. But more experiment for various soil types and theoretical verification are needed for more generallization.

This paper describes an 8-bit CMOS folding A/D converter for set-top box. Modular low-power, high-speed CMOS A/D converter for embedded systems aims at design techniques for low-power, high-speed A/D converter processed by the standard CMOS technology. The time-interleaved A/D converter or flash A/D converter are not suitable for the low-power applications. The two-step or multi-step flash A/D converters need a high-speed SHA, which represents a tough task in high-speed analog circuit design. On the other hand, the folding A/D converter is suitable for the low-power, high-speed applications(Embedded system). The simulation results illustrate a conversion rate of 40MSamples/s and a Power dissipation of 80mW(only analog block) at 2.5V supply voltage.

Most of neural network chips use an analog-type maximum selector circuit (MS). As the increase of integration level, the analog MS has difficulties in achieving sufficient resolution. Contrary, the digital-type MS is easy to get high resolution but slower than its analog counterparts. A new high-speed digital MS circuit called MSIT (Maximum Selector with Internal Trigger-signal) is presented in this paper. The MSIT has been designed to achieves both the high reliability by using trigger-signals and high speed by removing the unnecessary waiting times. The response time of MSIT is 3.4ns for 32 data with 10-bit resolution in the simulation with 1.2V, $0.13{\mu}m$-process model parameters, which is much faster than its analog counterparts. It shows that digital MS circuits like MSIT can achieve higher speed as well as higher resolution than analog MS circuits.

The analog-to-digital-converter-based (ADC-based) backplane receivers that consist of a front-end ADC followed by a digital equalizer are gaining more popularity in recent years, as they support more sophisticated equalization required for high data rates, scale better with fabrication technology, and are more immune to PVT variations. Unfortunately, designing an ADC-based receiver that meets tight power and performance budgets of high-speed backplane link systems is non-trivial as both front-end ADC and digital equalizer can be power consuming and complex when running at high speed. This paper reviews the state of art designs for the front-end ADC and digital equalizers to suggest implementation choices that can achieve high speed while maintaining low power consumption and complexity. Design-space exploration using system-level models of the ADC-based receiver allows through analysis on the impact of design parameters, providing useful information in optimizing the power and performance of the receiver at the early stage of design. The system-level simulation results with newer device parameters reveal that, although the power consumption of the ADC-based receiver may not comparable to the receivers with analog equalizers yet, they will become more attractive as the fabrication technology continues to scale as power consumption of digital equalizer scales well with process.

A multi-bit sigma-delta modulator architecture is described for low-distortion performance and a high-speed operation. The proposed architecture uses both a delayed code and a delayed differential code of analog-to-digital converter in the feedback path, thereby suppressing signal components in the integrators and relaxing the timing requirement of the analog-to-digital converter and the scrambler logic. Implemented by a 0.13 ${\mu}m$ CMOS process, the sigma-delta modulator achieves high linearity. The measured spurious-free dynamic range is 89.1 dB for -6 dBFS input signal.

There is an increasing interest in high-speed signal processing in modern telecommunication and SC circuit, HDTV, ISDN. There are many methods of high-speed signal processing. This paper describes a design approach for the realization of high-frequency Op-amp in CMOS technology. A limiting factor in Op-amp based analog integrated circuits is the limited useful frequency range. this thesis will develop a CMOS op-amp architecture with improved gainband width product with this technique an op-amp will achieve up to 170MHz (CL=2pF) unity-gain frequency with a 1.2-micron design rule. This CMOS op-amp is particularly suitable for achieving wide and stable closed-loop band widths, such as required in high-frequency SC filters, high-speed analog circuits.
