This paper presents a wakeup timer in 40-nm CMOS for Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications based on a bang-bang Digital-intensive Frequency-Locked Loop (DFLL). A self-biased Σ Δ Digitally Controlled Oscillator (DCO) is locked to an RC time constant via a feedback loop consisti ...

In this paper, we propose a method to suppress supply pushing of an LC oscillator such that it may directly operate from a switched-mode dc-dc converter generating fairly large ripples. A ripple replication block (RRB) generates an amplified ripple replica at the gate terminal ...

For remote vital signs and occupancy detection in many smart home/building applications, radar sensors are a preferred option over cameras, due to privacy preservation and robustness to ambient light conditions. These radars not only need to provide precise range and vital sig ...

This paper presents a 1.8-2.7 GHz low-power ring-oscillator-based fractional-N injection-locked digital PLL (IL-DPLL) in 40-nm CMOS for Internet-of-Things clock generation. A two-path injection technique is proposed to improve the in-band phase noise and the integrated jitter ...

A 40-nm CMOS wakeup timer employing a bang-bang digital-intensive frequency-locked loop for Internet-of-Things applications is presented. A self-biased ΣΔ digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) is locked to an RC time constant via a single-bit chopped comparator and a digital loop ...

We propose an ultra-low-power (ULP) and low-voltage phase-tracking RX for IoT applications. Several popular standards are defined for IoT, e.g., IEEE802.15.4 and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), where they envision massive numbers of interconnected sensors; however, the cost of rep ...

Neuromorphic systems offer a promising solution to the computational challenges of intra-cortical Brain-Computer Interfaces (iBCIs), leveraging the event-driven nature of biological neural networks for enhanced power efficiency and data scalability. The exponential growth in neur ...
While there are many technologies and electronic systems used to detect the human vital signs by monitoring the heart beat rate & respiration rate, all these systems rely on physical contact with the human body. Furthermore, each measuring system can only be used for a singl ...
This thesis presents an ultra-low power wakeup timer locked to an RC time constant that can meet the stringent power requirements of the nodes for Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications. The wakeup timer, fabricated in a 40-nm CMOS process, employs a bang-bang digital-intensive fr ...
