본 논문에서는 2개의 송 수신 안테나를 갖는 MIMO 통신 시스템을 위한 저전력 심볼 검출기의 구조를 제안한다. 제안된 심볼 검출기는 MIMO 전송 기법 중 공간 다이버시티(spatial diversity, SD) 모드뿐 아니라 공간 다중화(spatial multiplexing, SM) 모드를 모두 지원하며, ML 수준의 성능을 제공한다. 또한, 연산 블록의 공유와 MIMO 모드에 따라 구분되는 클럭 신호를 사용하여 하드웨어의 전력 소모량을 크게 감소시켰다. 제안된 하드웨어 구조는 하드웨어 설계 언어 (HDL)을 이용하여 설계되었고, $0.13{\mu}m$ CMOS standard 셀 라이브러리를 사용하여 합성되었다. 전력 소모량은 Synopsys Power CompilerTM을 사용하여 측정되었고, 그 결과 기존의 설계 구조대비 제안된 구조의 경우 최대 85%까지의 평균 소모 전력을 감소시킬 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 Early-late detector, Duty-rate modulator, 그리고 LSI(Lock Status Indicator)를 사용하여 작은 크기와 빠른 위상고정 시간을 갖는 위상고정루프를 제안하였다. 제안된 위상고정루프는 작은 용량을 가진 하나의 커패시터를 사용하게 됨으로써 칩의 크기를 결정하는 루프필터의 크기가 작아지게 되어 크기를 최소화 하였다. 기존의 전하펌프와 달리 2개의 전하펌프를 사용하여 하나의 커패시터를 사용하더라도 2차 루프필터를 사용 한 것과 같은 전압파형을 만들어 줌으로써 위상을 고정시킬 수 있다. 2개의 전하펌프는 UP, DN신호 위상의 빠르기를 감지해주는 Early-late detector와 일정한 비율의 파형을 만들어주는 Duty-rate modulator에 의해 제어된다. LSI회로를 사용함으로써 빠른 위상고정시간을 얻을 수 있다. 제안된 위상고정루프는 1.8V $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS 공정을 사용하여 설계하였고, Hspice 시뮬레이션을 통해 회로의 동작을 검증하였다.

All image data acquisition systems for example the digital camera and digital camcorder, use the image sensor to convert the image data (light) into electronic data. These image sensors are used in satellite camera for high quality and resolution image data. There are two kinds of image sensors, the one is the CCD (charge coupled device) detector sensor and the other is the CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) image sensor. The CCD sensor control system has more complex than the CMOS sensor control system. For the high quality image data on CCD sensor, the precise timing control signal and the several voltage sources are needed in the control system. In this paper, the comparison of the CCD with CMOS sensor, the CCD sensor characteristic, and the control system will be described.

In this paper, a full-wave rectifier (FWR) with a simple vibration detector suitable for use with vibrational energy harvesting systems is presented. Conventional active FWRs where active diodes are used to reduce the diode voltage drop and increase the system efficiency are usually powered from the output. Output-powered FWRs exhibit relatively high efficiencies because the comparators used in active diodes are powered from the stable output voltage. Nevertheless, a major drawback is that these FWRs consume power from the output storage capacitor even when the system is not harvesting any energy. To overcome the problem, a technique using a simple vibration detector consisting of a peak detector and a level converter is proposed. The vibration detector detects whether vibrational energy exists or not in the input terminal and disables the comparators when there is no vibrational energy. The proposed FWR with the vibration detector is designed using a $0.35-{\mu}m$ CMOS process. Simulation results have verified the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. By using the proposed vibration detector, a decrease in leakage current by approximately 67,000 times can be achieved after the vibration disappears.

In this paper, a low-complexity and low-power soft output multiple input multiple output (MIMO) symbol detector is proposed for mobile devices with two transmit and two receive antennas. The proposed symbol detector can support both the spatial multiplexing mode and spatial diversity mode in single hardware and shows the optimal maximum likelihood (ML) performance. By applying a multi-stage pipeline structure and using a complex multiplier based on the polar-coordinate, the complexity of the proposed architecture is dramatically decreased. Also, by applying a clock-gating scheme to the internal modules for MIMO modes, the power consumption is also reduced. The proposed symbol detector was designed using a hardware description language (HDL) and implemented using a 65nm CMOS standard cell library. With the proposed architecture, the proposed MIMO detector takes up an area of approximately $0.31mm^2$ with 183K equivalent gates and achieves a 150Mbps throughput. Also, the power estimation results show that the proposed MIMO detector can reduce the power consumption by a maximum of 85% for the various test cases.

This paper describes a new type of the spatial filter detector (SFD) with variable and multi-valued weighting function. This SFD called variable spatial filter detector with multi-valued weighting function (VSFDwMWF) uses current-mode circuits for noise resistance and high-resolution weighting values. Total weighting values consist of 7bit, 6-signal bit and 1-sign bit. We fabricate VSFDwMWF chip using Rohm 0.35${\mu}$m CMOS process. VSFDwMWF chip includes two-dimensional 10${\times}$13 photodiode array and current-mode weighting control circuit. Simulation shows the weighting values are varied and multi-valued by external switching operation. The layout of VSFDwMWF chip is shown.

A design study of phase detectors for the 2.5 Gb/s CDR circuit using a standard 0.18-${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS process has been performed. The targeted CDR is based on the phase-locked loop and thus it consists of a phase detector, a charge pump, a LPF, and a VCO. For high frequency operation of 2.5 Gb/s, phase detector and charge pump, which accurately compare phase errors to reduce clock jitter, are critical for designing a reliable CDR circuit. As a phase detector, the Hogge phase detector is selected but two transistors are added to improve the performance of the D-F/F. The charge pump was also designed to be placed indirectly input and output.

A Quadrature phase detector for high-speed delay-locked loop is introduced. The proposed Quadrature phase detector is composed of two nor gates and it determines if the phase difference of two input clocks is 90 degrees or not. The delay locked loop circuit including the Quadrature phase detector is fabricated in a 0.18 urn standard CMOS process and it operates at 5 ㎓ frequency. The phase error of the delay-locked loop is maximum 2 degrees and the circuits are robust with voltage, temperature variations.
