Abstract In this paper, an area and power efficient current mode frequency synthesizer for system-on-chip (SoC) is proposed. A current-mode transformer loop filter suitable for low supply voltage is implemented to remove the need of a large capacitor in the loop filter, and a current controlled oscillator with additional voltage based frequency tuning mechanism is designed with an active inductor. The proposed design is further integrated with a fully programmable frequency divider to maintain a good balance among output frequency operating range, power consumption as well as silicon area. A test chip is implemented in a standard 0.13 µm CMOS technology, measurement result demonstrates that the proposed design has a working range from 916 MHz to 1.1 l GHz and occupies a silicon area of 0.25 mm2 while consuming 8.4 mW from a 1.2 V supply.

Frequency Detector

A novel phase frequency detector is designed which is made up of 16 transistors whereas conventional is of 48 transistors. This paper also presented the design of charge pump circuit and current starved VCO (CSVCO). These are the critical blocks that are widely used for applications like clock and data recovery circuit, PLL, frequency synthesizer. The proposed PFD eliminates the reset circuit using pass transistor logic and operates effectively at higher frequencies. The circuits are designed using Cadence Virtuoso v6.1 in 45nm CMOS technology having supply voltage 1V. It was found that the power consumption of PFD is 138.2 nW which is significantly lesser than other designs. CSVCO also analysed at operating frequency of 10 MHz to give output oscillation frequency of 1.119 GHz with power dissipation of 18.91 μW. Corner analysis done for both the PFD and CSVCO for various process variations. Monte Carlo analysis also done for the proposed PFD and presented CSVCO to test the circuit reliableness.

The paper describes a voltage level shifter for power efficient applications which is simulated in tanner spice tool using 45nm technology. The conservative voltage level shifter is designed by using 6 transistors. The voltage level shifter cell generally used for shifting the voltage range of the signal from one voltage domain to another. This is required when the chip operate at multiple voltage domains. The circuit parameters like leakage voltage and average power dissipation are calculate for this circuit. Mainly level shifter consists of two voltage levels. One is low logic supply voltage (VDDL) another one is high logic supply voltage (VDDH). The simulation results of proposed level shifter with Wilson current mirror by 45nm technology for the input frequency of 1MHZ, the power dissipation of 0.177nW with 3db gain of 9.78.

As power consumption is one of the major issues in biomedical implantable devices, in this paper, a novel quantization method is proposed for successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) which can save 80% power consumption in contrast to conventional structure for electroencephalogram (EEG) signal recording systems. According to the characteristics of neural signals, the principle of the proposed power saving technique was inspired such that only the difference between current input sample and the previous one is quantized, using a power efficient SAR ADC with fewer resolutions. To verify the proposed quantization scheme, the ADC is systematically modeled in Matlab and designed and simulated in circuit level using 0.18[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m CMOS technology. When applied to neural signal acquisition, spice simulations show that at sampling rate of 25[Formula: see text]kS/s, the proposed 8-bit ADC consumes 260[Formula: see text]nW of power from 1.8[Formula: see text]V supply voltage while achieving 7.1 effective number of bits.

A power efficient circuit topology is proposed to implement a low-voltage CMOS 2-input pass-transistor XOR gate. This design aims to minimize power dissipation and reduce transistor count while at the same time reducing the propagation delay. The XOR gate utilizes six transistors to achieve a compact circuit design and was fabricated using the 130 nm IBM CMOS process. The performance of the XOR circuit was validated against other XOR gate designs through simulations using the same 130 nm CMOS process. The area of the core circuit is only about 56 sq · µm with 1.5659 ns propagation delay and 0.2312 nW power dissipation at 0.8 V supply voltage. The proposed six-transistor implementation thus compares favorably with other existing XOR gate designs.

Power dissipation becoming a limiting factor in VLSI circuits and systems. Due to relatively high complexity of VLSI systems used in various applications, the power dissipation in CMOS inverter, arises from it’s switching activity, which is mainly influenced by the supply voltage and effective capacitance.[1,2,3] To optimize power dissipation, the researches show various techniques like appropriate coding, appropriate design architectures, appropriate manipulation algorithms. In this paper we have applied adiabatic logic design approach to design COMS inverter. Adiabatic switching techniques based on energy recovery principle are one of the innovative solutions at a circuit and logic level achieve reduction in power [12] Various adiabatic logic based inverters are shown. Mainly our aim is to design and simulate PFAL inverters. Finally we have calculated dissipated power of static CMOS inverter and compare it with that of PFAL based inverter. [4, 6]
