**Abstract:**

Accurate split-CV mobility measurements require to overcome Bias Temperature Instabilities (BTI) which are a key issue in GaN-on-Si MOS-channel HEMTs. In this article, a rigorous methodology to extract the split-CV mobility as a function of the electron density and the temperature at Al2O3/GaN interface is depicted. Drain current ID(VG) and gate-to-channel capacitance CGC(VG) measurements are performed simultaneously under fast gate voltage ramp to prevent BTI. The voltage ramp enables fast CGC(VG) measurements and allows to bypass the frequency effect which can be observed when using small signal capacitance measurements. Thus, this technique paves the way to a reliable determination of intrinsic electron transport properties of GaN transistors.

**Abstract:**

This paper presents a transmitter(TX) and an adaptive receiver(RX) for the next-generation automotive camera link with PAM-4 signaling. TX utilizes push-pull current drivers and 3-tap FFE to improve impedance matching and eye margin, respectively. To cancel the sampler offset for a lower BER, instead of adjusting data and threshold levels(dtLevs), the gain of a programmable gain amplifier is adjusted adaptively under fixed dtLevs. The TX delivers 8-Gb/s PAM-4 signal to the adaptive RX through a 12-m cable(22-dB loss) with a BER of 1E-8. The prototype chips consume 65.2 mW(excluding PLL), exhibiting an FoM of 0.37 pJ/bit/dB.

**Abstract:**

This work presents a dielectric waveguide communication link at 135 GHz, reaching 27 Gb/s non-return to-zero (NRZ) communication without any equalization at a bit-error-rate (BER) below 10-12 and up to 50 Gb/s 4-level pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM4) over 3 m of fiber at a BER below 10-6 when equalization is applied. This work is the first to break the 25 Gb/s barrier at distances of 1 m and above. These results are achieved by combining a low power, multilevel mm-wave transceiver with a coupler on printed circuit board (PCB) and a fiber design optimized for low dispersion.

A 55nm SiGe BiCMOS ADC front-end is reported with record 200-GS/s sampling rate and SNDR larger than 32 dB and 25.3 dB up to 45 GHz and 63 GHz, respectively. This performance is enabled by the architecture of the front-end with a single level of samplers which maximizes bandwidth and linearity, by the reduced-voltage MOS CML switch, and by a dc-to-62 GHz, 25%duty-cycle non-overlapping quadrature clock generator. The total power consumption of the ADC front-end is 635 mW.

**Abstract:**

This paper presents a 6GS/s 0.5GHz bandwidth CT 2-1-1 MASH 3b ΔΣ modulator in 40nm CMOS. To enable the 0.5GHz bandwidth, the modulator employs current-mode excess loop delay compensation with phase boosting, current-mode locally-time-interleaved quantizers, and on-chip comparator offset calibration to realize high-speed ELD-compensated 3-bit quantizers. High sampling frequency, multi-bit quantization and multi-stage noise-shaping enable the ADC to achieve 58dB DR in 500MHz BW when sampled at 6GHz. If sampled at 4GHz, 65dB DR can be achieved at a BW of 300MHz.

**Abstract:**

This paper reports the first silicon-verified current-steering DAC using enhanced constant-switching-activity data-weighted-averaging (CSA-DWA). It achieves data-independent constant switching activities for all the input codes by exploiting redundant switching elements. In addition, a power supply network optimization is presented to meet the increased timing-match requirement due to the adopted extra switching elements. Without calibration, the fabricated 16-bit 4GS/s DAC in 65nm CMOS achieves >70dBc spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) and <-80dBc third-order intermodulation distortion (IM3) up to 1GHz, showing 4-15dB SFDR and 5-14dB IM3 improvement across the Nyquist band.

**Abstract:**

A triple-mode RF system on a chip (SoC) is reported which supports cellular Internet of Things (IoT) standards eMTC, NB-IoT, and EC-GSM, as well as 2G fallback. In the eMTC mode, the SoC achieves best-in-class performance for reference sensitivity (-112.3 dBm), coverage extension mode A (-128.5 dBm) and B (-136.8 dBm), respectively. A very efficient RTC, combined with dynamic power management of unused clocks and idle blocks, also leads to excellent performance in cellular IoT power-saving modes, such as extended discontinuous reception and power-saving mode.

**Abstract:**

This work presents a true random number generator (TRNG) based on a stochastic delta-sigma modulator (DSM) with ring oscillator (RO) integrators. The TRNG leverages noise and jitter in the ROs as an entropy source. A multi-bit non-return to- zero (NRZ) digital-to-analog converter (DAC) in the feedback path ensures DSM noise dominates input swing seen by the frontend integrators. Hence, the DSM can concurrently operate as an ADC and TRNG. A 65nm prototype achieves Shannon entropy > 0.999998 with lower-bound min-entropy > 0.995 at 52Mbps throughput while passing all NIST tests across multiple chips and voltage/temperature corners without needing calibration. The combined power consumption of ADC and TRNG is 0.36mW which is the lowest among state-of-the-art RO TRNGs. Low power consumption, high entropy, and concurrent operation of the TRNG as an ADC are principal contributions of this work.

**Abstract:**

This paper presents a widely tunable digital delay element suitable for low-power low-frequency continuous-time digital signal processing systems. The design uses features of the 28 nm FD-SOI CMOS technology to precisely control currents in the pA range and significantly reduce leakage power. The measured tuning range is significantly larger than prior art covering more than 3 decades from 30 ns to 100 µs making it suitable for CT-DSP low frequency filters. At 0.7 V supply voltage, the dynamic power consumption is 15 fJ/event with a residual power consumption due to leakage of 14 pW.
