Capacitive sensors are one of the most widely used sensors today. In recent years, High resolution has assumed a paramount role in sensor design, guaranteeing precise measurement outcomes. Quantification to the aF level is urgently needed. This paper presents the first dynamic Zoom capacitance to digital converter (CDC) incorporating noise coupling (NC) technology, which is intended for high-precision sensor applications in the audio domain. The proposed dynamic CDC is a hybrid of a high-resolution $\mathbf{\Delta}\mathbf{\Sigma}$ modulator $(\mathbf{\Delta}\mathbf{\Sigma}\mathbf{M})$ and a high-efficiency SAR-based CDC to achieve better performance. It is implemented in the TSMC 180 nm process, and the simulation results show that it achieves 109.9dB DR and 109.3dB SNR within the bandwidth of 20kHz, consuming $\mathbf{81}\boldsymbol{\mu}\mathbf{W}$ from a 1.2V supply. These advancements are accomplished through the combined utilization of coarse and fine conversions, noise coupling techniques, SAR-assisted multi-bit quantizers, and operational transconductance amplifiers (OTAs) based on dynamic bias inverters.

This paper presents a resistance self-biased inverse class-F 23 voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). The VCO keeps ultra-low amplitude and phase mismatches by inducing a resistance between primary and secondary coils of the transformer. It also induces both 2 nd and 3 rd harmonic resonances to reduce 1/f 3 corner frequency. The VCO is designed in 40nm CMOS with frequency range of 12.1GHz to 16.5GHz. The post simulation results show that it achieves − 118dBc/Hz and −109dBc/Hz at 1MHz offset frequency at 12.1GHz and 16.5GHz respectively, whose 1/f 3 corner frequency is 54kHz and 20kHz. The power consumption of the VCO is 14.3mW at 1.1V supply. The core area is 0.03mm 2 .

High-level Synthesis (HLS) becomes popular since it can improve productivity of circuit designs. The optimization of HLS is necessary since the design space is vast and different configurations can lead to various power, performance and area (PPA). In this paper, we model the design space exploration (DSE) as a multi-objective black-box optimization problem via Bayesian optimization with float encoding method to explore the Pareto front of HLS designs for PPA objectives, where Multi-objective Tree-structured Parzen Estimator (MOTPE) is adopted as the surrogate model which can search the tree-structured design space efficiently and Expected Hypervolume Improvement (EHVI) is used as the acquisition function to guide the optimization. The experimental results show that our method achieves LPDA gains by 66.30% and 41.25%, compared with two meta-heuristic algorithms, simulated annealing (SA) and NSGA-II. Our learned Pareto front is closer to the reference Pareto front than SA and NSGA-II, with an average improvement in ADRS by 94.72% and 69.58% respectively.

Routing architecture has a significant effect on the performance and area of FPGA. In academia, the global routing architecture is mainly based on the connection blocks (CBs) and switch blocks (SBs). There are input crossbars inside the logic blocks (LBs) which are used to connect the LB pins and feedbacks to the LUT inputs. Muxes in the crossbar are used to implement the intra-cluster connections. In the previous researches, there are few papers focusing on the exploration of feedback interconnects. Besides, it is hard to model the complex feedback interconnects in commercial FPGAs as the feedbacks can only connect to the muxes in the crossbar in the CB-SB architecture. In this paper, we enhance VPR to support GRB (general routing block) architecture which replaces the CBs, SBs and input crossbars to alleviate this problem and explore complex feedback interconnects. Four parameters are proposed to describe the feedback interconnects architecture. Compared to the CB-SB like feedback interconnects architecture, experimental results show that the proposed architecture can achieve 4.5% improvement on the routing area, 2.1% improvement on the critical path delay and 6.5% improvement on the area-delay product with VTR benchmarks.

In this paper, a novel lossless and near-lossless RAW image compression algorithm based on JPEG-LS is proposed. To achieve high performance and low complexity, the algorithm reduce the context module, merge the run mode with the regular mode and propose an adaptive Golomb-Rice coding technique. The algorithm mainly consists of four parts : pixel structure conversion, pixel prediction, run mode module and adaptive Golomb-Rice coding module. Compared to JPEG-LS, this algorithm achieves comparable performance to JPEG-LS while reducing complexity. Additionally, it allows users to adjust parameters to achieve lossless and near-lossless compression supporting random access and non-random access.

Routing architecture has a large impact on the FPGA performance and area. In academia, the routing architecture is mainly based on the connection blocks (CBs) and switch blocks (SBs). There are also input crossbars inside the logic blocks (LBs). Muxes with high fanins are used to implement the intra- and inter-cluster connections. In the previous researches, CBs, SBs and input crossbars are designed separately which may miss some potential optimization spaces to trade off area, delay and routability. Besides, it is hard to model the complex routing architecture in commercial FPGAs. In this paper, we propose a novel tile-based routing architecture, versatile interconnection block (VIB) which replaces the CBs, SBs and input crossbars to alleviate this problem. All the routing resources are included in the VIBs which are based on two level mux topology used in many commercial FPGAs. Six parameters are proposed to describe the VIB architecture. In addition, VTR 8 is enhanced to support the proposed VIB architecture. Then, we compare the proposed architecture with the latest work of two level mux design. Experimental results show that the proposed VIB architecture can achieve 18.9% improvement on the routing area, 2% improvement on the routability and 16.6% improvement on the area-delay product with VTR benchmarks.
