As the VLSI technology node is getting into the sub-100 nm regime, the reliability issues caused by random interferences such as noise, process variations and manufacturing defects are changing the nature of digital computation from deterministic to probabilistic. This paper studies the principle of probabilistic-based Markov Random Field (MRF) design methodology for CMOS static logic gates. The MRF design technique is able to significantly improve the reliability and interference tolerance of the logic circuits. A Differential Cascode Voltage Switch (DCVS) based MRF logic design method is proposed, which presents substantial noise immunity improvement over the normal MRF logic circuits. The proposed method is validated by simulation in 65 nm CMOS technology.

Ultra-Wideband (UWB) is a promising technology for short range wireless communication and precise ranging. In this paper, we first briefly review different approaches of UWB technique, and then concentrate on impulse radios. Various impulse UWB transceiver circuits and systems for different applications such as WPAN, WSN and WBAN are presented. Some recently developed pulse-based UWB radios are also introduced for specified applications. The advance of impulse radio is concluded and the future work is illuminated.

A 1.8-mW, 18.5-mm 2 64-channel current readout ASIC was implemented in 0.18-μm CMOS together with a new calibration scheme for silicon nanowire biosensor arrays. The ASIC consists of 64 channels of dedicated readout and conditioning circuits which incorporate correlated double sampling scheme to reduce the effect of 1/f noise and offset from the analog front-end. The ASIC provides a 10-bit digital output with a sampling rate of 300 S/s whilst achieving a minimum resolution of 7 pA rms . A new electrical calibration method was introduced to mitigate the issue of large variations in the nano-scale sensor device parameters and optimize the sensor sensitivity. The experimental results show that the proposed calibration technique improved the sensitivity by 2 to 10 times and reduced the variation between dataset by 9 times.

A 170μW readout IC for a capacitive MEMS acceleration sensor was implemented in a 1.5V 0.13μm CMOS for high-end medical motion sensing applications. The accelerometer achieves a 45μg/vHz noise floor and a dynamic range larger than 87dB for a 400Hz bandwidth. Power reduction is achieved by introducing reset and common-mode feedback circuit techniques based on a non-unity-gain feedback configuration.
