Silicon-based 0.69-inch AMOEL microdisplay with integrated driver and timing controller circuits for microdisplay applications has been developed using 0.35 ${\mu}m$ l-poly 4-metal standard CMOS process with 5 V CMOS devices and CMP (Chemical Mechanical Polishing) technology. To reduce the large data programming time consumed in a conventional current programming pixel circuit technique and to achieve uniform display, de-amplifying current mirror pixel circuit and the current-mode data driver circuit with threshold roltage compensation are proposed. The proposed current-mode data driver circuit is inherently immune to the ground-bouncing effect. The Monte-Carlo simulation results show that the proposed current-mode data driver circuit has channel-to-channel non-uniformity of less than ${\pm}$0.6 LSB under ${\pm}$70 mV threshold voltage variaions for both NMOS and PMOS transistors, which gives very good display uniformity.

In this paper, a new CMOS fully integrated frequency-to-digital converter is proposed. The operation of the proposed circuit is based on a pulse-shrinking delay element. In the proposed circuit, a resolution of the converted digital output can be easily improved by increasing the number of the pulse-shrinking element. Also the input frequency range can be easily changed through controlling bias voltage in the pulse-shrinking element. The simulation of the designed circuit carried out by HSPICE using the CMOS 0.35${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ process technology.

In this work, we show that the excessive lattice heating problem due to parasitic pnp transistor action in the diode electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection device in the diode input protection circuit, which is favorably used in CMOS RF ICs, can be solved by adopting a symmetrical cathode structure. To explain how the recipe works, we construct an equivalent circuit for input human-body model (HBM) test environment of a CMOS chip equipped with the diode protection circuit, and execute mixed-mode transient simulations utilizing a 2-dimensional device simulator. We attempt an in-depth comparison study by varying device structures to suggest valuable design guidelines in designing the protection diodes connected to the $V_{DD}$ and $V_{SS}$ buses. Even though this work is based on mixed-mode simulations utilizing device and circuit simulators, the analysis given in this work clearly explain the mechanism involved, which cannot be done by measurements.

본 논문에서는 CMOS 이미지 센서의 동작 범위(Dynamic Range; DR)를 높이기 위해서， multiple sampling 방법과 조건적 reset 기능을 갖는 새로운 픽셀 회로를 제안한다. 제안된 구조는 한 번의 integration 시간 내에서 픽셀의 출력이 일정한 간격으로 여러 번 sampling되고 sampling된 각 신호는 기준 전압과 비교되며 이 결과에 따라 해당 픽셀을 rest 할지의 여부가 결정된다. 제안된 방법을 사용하면 이미지 센서의 최대 DR은 축적 기간 동안의 총 sampling 회수인 N 배로 증가될 수 있다. 테스트 칩은 0.65-${\mu}m$ CMOS 공정(2-P, 2-M)으로 제작되었으며 이에 대한 측정결과로 본 논문의 알고리듬이 DR의 증가에 효과적임을 확인하였다.

In this paper, the switch-level fault simulator for CMOS circuits with a gate-to-drain/source short fault is implemented. A fault model used in this paper is based on the graphical analysis of the electrical characteristics of the faulty MOS devices and the conversion of the faulty CMOS circuit to the equivalent faulty CMOS inverter in order to find its effect on the successive stage. This technique is very simple and has the increased accuracy of the simulation. The simulation result of the faulty circuit using the implemented fault simulator is compared with the result of the SPICE simulation.

A new CMOS current-mode integrator for low-voltage analog integrated circuit design is presented. The proposed current-mode integrator is based on cross-coupled gain-boosting topology. When it is compared with that of the typical current-mirror type current-mode integrator, the proposed current-mode integrator achieves high current gain and unity gain frequency with the same transistor size. As a application circuit of the proposed integrator, we designed the 1.8V 200MHz band current-mode lowpass filter. These are verified by Hspice simulation using $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS technology.
