21	Horlogerie distribuée pour les SoCs synchrones Zianbetov, Eldar 25 March 2013 (has links) (PDF) Cette thèse aborde le problème de génération d'horloge globale dans les SoCs complexes dans le contexte des technologies CMOS profondément submicroniques. Actuellement, afin de contourner les difficultés liées aux techniques classiques de distribution d'horloge (p.ex. arbre, grille) dans les systèmes synchrones, les concepteurs qui désirent de se rendre sur le paradigme Synchronisation Globale se tournent vers les techniques de synchronisation rompant avec les approches classiques (par exemple oscillateurs distribués, les ondes stationnaires , oscillateurs couplés, les retards programmables). Cette étude s'inscrit dans ce courant. Dans ce travail, nous avons étudié et mis au point un système de génération d'horloge sur puce destiné à un SoC synchrone de haute fiabilité. Cette architecture est basée sur un réseau d'oscillateurs couplés en phase et en fréquence à l'aide d'un réseaux de boucles à verrouillage de phase tout numériques (ADPLLs). Pendant cette recherche nous avons mis au point les spécifications et choisi une architecture de réseau. Un modèle théorique du système a été mis en place en collaboration avec CEA-LETI et Supélec dans le cadre du projet ANR HODISS. Nous avons analysé le comportement du système dans les simulations sur différents niveaux d'abstraction, en enquêtant des conditions de stabilité de son fonctionnement synchrone. L'ADPLL a été proposé comme un nœud élémentaire du réseau de synchronisation distribuée. L'utilisation d'ADPLL permet de contourner les difficultés d'implémentation, qui sont généralement associées à PLL analogique. Nous avons conçu les blocs principaux de l'ADPLL: un oscillateur à commande numérique (Digitally-Controlled Oscillator, DCO), un détecteur de phase/fréquence (PFD) et un bloc de traitement d'erreur. Une technique de conception basée sur les cellules a été adapté pour le développement d'oscillateur. Cette technique réduit considérablement la complexité de l'implémentation de l'oscillateur. Les autres blocs ont été conçus en utilisant un flot de conception numérique commun. Afin de réduire les risques associés à l'implémentation de silicium, le système a été validé dans une plate-forme de prototypage FPGA. Les résultats des mesures ont montré que la synchronisation de réseau se comporte comme prédit par la théorie et ainsi que les simulations. Deux circuits de prototypage ont été conçus, mis en œuvre et testés dans une technologie CMOS 65 nm de STMicroelectronics. La première puce est une preuve de concept d'un DCO conçu très linéaire et monotone. Les paramètres mesurés de l'oscillateur sont conformes aux spécifications. La performance mesurée a démontré une gigue de moins de 15 ps rms, en consommant 6.2 mW/GHz @ 1.1 V. La plage de réglage de l'oscillateur est 999-2480 MHz avec une résolution de 10 bits. La deuxième puce est un réseau d'horloge avec 4x4 nœuds qui se compose de 16 ADPLLs distribués. Chacun d'entre eux utilise les blocs conçu précédemment: DCO, PFD et bloc de traitement d'erreur. Les expérimentes ont montré que la technique proposée de génération d'horloge distribuée est réalisable sur une puce réelle CMOS. La performance mesurée démontre l'erreur de synchronisation entre les oscillateurs voisins moins de 60 ps, alors que la consommation d'énergie est 98.47 mW/GHz. horloge synchrone l'architecture multi-oscillateur l'oscillateur à commande numérique bang-bang détecteur time-to-digital converter

24	Performance enhancement techniques for low power digital phase locked loops Elshazly, Amr 16 July 2014 (has links) Desire for low-power, high performance computing has been at core of the symbiotic union between digital circuits and CMOS scaling. While digital circuit performance improves with device scaling, analog circuits have not gained these benefits. As a result, it has become necessary to leverage increased digital circuit performance to mitigate analog circuit deficiencies in nanometer scale CMOS in order to realize world class analog solutions. In this thesis, both circuit and system enhancement techniques to improve performance of clock generators are discussed. The following techniques were developed: (1) A digital PLL that employs an adaptive and highly efficient way to cancel the effect of supply noise, (2) a supply regulated DPLL that uses low power regulator and improves supply noise rejection, (3) a digital multiplying DLL that obviates the need for high-resolution TDC while achieving sub-picosecond jitter and excellent supply noise immunity, and (4) a high resolution TDC based on a switched ring oscillator, are presented. Measured results obtained from the prototype chips are presented to illustrate the proposed design techniques. / Graduation date: 2013 / Access restricted to the OSU Community at author's request from July 16, 2012 - July 16, 2014 Phase locked loops Delay locked loops Supply noise mitigation background calibration Digital PLL Supply noise Time to digital converter TDC Switched ring oscillator SRO-TDC Digital circuits Low power Area efficient Digitally controlled oscillator Performance enhancement techniques Integrated circuits Frequency synthesizers Clock multipliers Integrated circuits Microelectronics Analog and mixed Circuits and systems Analog Digital Solid state circuit Phase-locked loops Electronic noise -- Prevention Low voltage systems Frequency synthesizers
25	High Performance RF and Basdband Analog-to-Digital Interface for Multi-standard/Wideband Applications Zhang, Heng 2010 December 1900 (has links) The prevalence of wireless standards and the introduction of dynamic standards/applications, such as software-defined radio, necessitate the next generation wireless devices that integrate multiple standards in a single chip-set to support a variety of services. To reduce the cost and area of such multi-standard handheld devices, reconfigurability is desirable, and the hardware should be shared/reused as much as possible. This research proposes several novel circuit topologies that can meet various specifications with minimum cost, which are suited for multi-standard applications. This doctoral study has two separate contributions: 1. The low noise amplifier (LNA) for the RF front-end; and 2. The analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The first part of this dissertation focuses on LNA noise reduction and linearization techniques where two novel LNAs are designed, taped out, and measured. The first LNA, implemented in TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) 0.35Cm CMOS (Complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) process, strategically combined an inductor connected at the gate of the cascode transistor and the capacitive cross-coupling to reduce the noise and nonlinearity contributions of the cascode transistors. The proposed technique reduces LNA NF by 0.35 dB at 2.2 GHz and increases its IIP3 and voltage gain by 2.35 dBm and 2dB respectively, without a compromise on power consumption. The second LNA, implemented in UMC (United Microelectronics Corporation) 0.13Cm CMOS process, features a practical linearization technique for high-frequency wideband applications using an active nonlinear resistor, which obtains a robust linearity improvement over process and temperature variations. The proposed linearization method is experimentally demonstrated to improve the IIP3 by 3.5 to 9 dB over a 2.5–10 GHz frequency range. A comparison of measurement results with the prior published state-of-art Ultra-Wideband (UWB) LNAs shows that the proposed linearized UWB LNA achieves excellent linearity with much less power than previously published works. The second part of this dissertation developed a reconfigurable ADC for multistandard receiver and video processors. Typical ADCs are power optimized for only one operating speed, while a reconfigurable ADC can scale its power at different speeds, enabling minimal power consumption over a broad range of sampling rates. A novel ADC architecture is proposed for programming the sampling rate with constant biasing current and single clock. The ADC was designed and fabricated using UMC 90nm CMOS process and featured good power scalability and simplified system design. The programmable speed range covers all the video formats and most of the wireless communication standards, while achieving comparable Figure-of-Merit with customized ADCs at each performance node. Since bias current is kept constant, the reconfigurable ADC is more robust and reliable than the previous published works.
