A Precise-Tracking NBTI-Degradation Monitor Independent of NBTI Recovery Effect
Scaling has accelerated transistor degradation with respect to aging, especially for Negative Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI), which can cause more than a 10% degradation in delay [1]. It is known that in NBTI condit

A 16Gb/s 1st-Tap FFE and 3-Tap DFE in 90nm CMOS
Much effort has been made toward producing a high-speed multi-tap decision feedback equalizer (DFE), which would be a key component in removing intersymbol interference (ISI) in high-speed chip-to-chip communication. A l

An 18Gb/s Duobinary Receiver with a CDR-Assisted DFE
As shown in Fig. 16.1.3, when the transmitter output patterns are especially toggle patterns (1010…), the received input data have intermediate voltages between VH and VL (or the slicer outputs (DH(T), DL(T)) consequentl

A Widely-Tunable Reconfigurable CMOS Analog Baseband IC for Software-Defined Radio
Although software-defined radio (SDR) transceivers that operate with many current and future wireless systems (i.e., cellular, WLAN, WPAN, broadcast and GPS standards) have been extensively developed [1-2], demands for e
