design and measurement of the bipolar Track-and-Hold Amplifier is described in this paper. The circuit works at the sample rate of 10 GS/s and has linearity of 8-bit at input signal of 3 GHz. Based on the open-loop switched emitter follower architecture, the circuit implies several techniques to achieve 8-bit performance at GHz range. An input buffer and switch were modified to decrease errors and increase the speed.

As the signal processing speed of electronic devices increases, transmission capability over 10Gbps has been required for printed wiring boards (PWBs).designing these PWBs capable of Giga-speed signal transmission, traditional MHz-based signal integrity simulation does not always ensure signal integrity.2008, Simdesign Technocenter, a business unite of Sumitomo Electric system Solution Co., Ltd., developed a new method to overcome this problem by combining 3-D electromagnetic simulation and several GHz signal integrity simulations. Since then, this method has enabled us to obtain accurate simulation results even for over 10 Gbps signals. In this study, this method is applied to 40Gbps optical receiver modules to optimize signal routing with the aim of improving transmission characteristics at over 10Gbps. Firstly, simulation results and measured values are compared to verify the conformity of simulation models. Next, simulation using a 40Gbps optical receiver module model is conducted to consider optimum signal routing. The result shows that this method reduces calculation time without compromising simulation accuracy, and thus increases simulation trial cycles. Although some differences are found between simulation results and actual measurements, similar transmission characteristics are obtained by changing model shapes and improving the modeling method of the adjacent area of a source injection point. Thus, we have succeeded in eliminating unnecessary design and trial routines by feeding back these simulation results to the actual PWB design process. This paper describes mainly challenges in the development of this design method using electromagnetic simulations and explains the advantages of the method.

This article describes an approach to embed technology independent, synthesizable FPGA-like cores into ASIC designs. The motivation for this concept is to combine the best aspects of the two chip design domains ASIC and FPGA. ASICs have better timing performance, are cheaper in mass production and less power consumptive. FPGAs have the big advantage to be reconfigurable. With FPGA-like cores being embedded into ASICs this extraordinary FPGA feature is transferred to the ASIC domain. The main innovative aspect of the approach proposed in this paper is not the concept of combining ASIC and FPGA on one die. This has already been done before. The novelty is to find ways to use standard components and cells for the FPGA part to be able to enhance ASIC designs without being restricted by technological and vendor related barriers. Among many other applications reconfigurability can be leveraged to improve verification problems, which arise with today's 100 million gate designs. Dedicated, synthesized PSL [23] monitors, which are loaded in embedded FPGA cores, accelerate the process of narrowing error locations on the chip.
We propose a high level synthesis approach to generate RT level hardware from a specification of operation properties. The property language is called InTerval Language (ITL) and we assume the set of properties is com...

Low power design can be exploited at various levels, e.g., system level, architecture level, circuit level, and device level. This paper gives a brief overview of low power design principals, then focuses discussion on circuit level methods specifically state-of-the-art low power design techniques of clocking systems. Finally we discuss low power optimization techniques at system and architecture level.
Power consumption is the bottleneck of system performance and is listed as one of the top three challenges in ITRS 2008. Low power design can be exploited at various levels, e.g., system level, architecture level, cir...

In this paper a low power, 4-bit, 50 MHz flash ADC in 130 nm technology is presented. Power consumption is the most important objective in this ADC. Two blocks, S/H and Latch, can be omitted in this ADC because of the comparator and encoder structures. Flash ADC has a peak SNDR of 23.47 dB at Nyquist frequency while the power consumption is 130 muW with a binary code encoder. This reduces to 115 muW if output data are in Gray code. The proposed ADC achieves 0.1625 pJ per conversion-step if the output is binary.
