Low power and high speed multiplier design with row bypassing and parallel architecture

This paper presents a low power and high speed row bypassing multiplier. The primary power reductions are obtained by tuning off MOS components through multiplexers when the operands of multiplier are zero. Analysis of the conventional DSP applications shows that the average of zero input of operand in multiplier is 73.8 percent. Therefore, significant power consumption can be reduced by the proposed bypassing multiplier. The proposed multiplier adopts ripple-carry adder with fewer additional hardware components. In addition, the proposed bypassing architecture can enhance operating speed by the additional parallel architecture to shorten the delay time of the proposed multiplier. Both unsigned and signed operands of multiplier are developed. Post-layout simulations are performed with standard TSMC 0.18 μm CMOS technology and 1.8 V supply voltage by Cadence Spectre simulation tools. Simulation results show that the proposed design can reduce power consumption and operating speed compared to those of counterparts. For a 16×16 multiplier, the proposed design achieves 17 and 36 percent reduction in power consumption and delay, respectively, at the cost of 20 percent increase of chip area in comparison with those of conventional array multipliers. In addition, the proposed design achieves averages of 11 and 38 percent reduction in power consumption and delay with 46 percent less chip area in comparison with those counterparts for both unsigned and signed multipliers. The proposed design is suitable for low power and high speed arithmetic applications.

A symmetric complementary structure for CMOS analog squarer and four-quadrant multiplier is proposed and analyzed. Analog squarer and a four-quadrant analog multiplier by utilizing the square-algebraic identity in the MOS triode region are presented. The squarer has a symmetric complementary configuration of the push-pull source follower and provides high performance in terms of linearity, power consumption, frequency response and total harmonic distortion (THD). The squarer, with –3 dB bandwidth of 1.3 GHz, had a nonlinearity error less than 1% over input signal range of ±1 V.

The multiplier has a nonlinearity error less than 1% over ±0.5 V input range. The circuit provides a –3 dB bandwidth higher than 1.3 GHz and exhibits a THD lower than 1% with a 1 V peak-to-peak input voltage, which dissipating 2.6 mW. The second-order effects including mismatch effects are discussed. The proposed circuits will be useful in various RF analog signal-processing applications.     

Power management circuits for self-powered systems based on micro-scale solar energy harvesting

In this paper, two types of power management circuits for self-powered systems based on micro-scale solar energy harvesting are proposed. First, if a solar cell outputs a very low voltage, less than 0.5 V, as in miniature solar cells or monolithic integrated solar cells, such that it cannot directly power the load, a voltage booster is employed to step up the solar cell’s output voltage, and then a power management unit (PMU) delivers the boosted voltage to the load. Second, if the output voltage of a solar cell is enough to drive the load, the PMU directly supplies the load with solar energy. The proposed power management systems are designed and fabricated in a 0.18-μm complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor process, and their performances are compared and analysed through measurements.

Pseudo-V2 control with adaptive compensation for fast-transient current-mode buck converter

A type of pseudo-V² control, with on-chip adaptive compensation to achieve fast transient (FT) response for current mode DC–DC buck converter, has been proposed and simulated using 0.18 μm CMOS technology in this paper. Based on a new on-chip capacitor multiplier, adaptive compensation is achieved by making the compensation capacitance to track the load current. The proposed pseudo-V² control utilizes the output ripple to determine the duty cycle during load transient. Thus the overshoot/undershoot voltage and the transient recovery time are effectively reduced. Simulation results demonstrate the transient ripple is smaller than 50 mV and the transient recovery time is shorter than 10 μs for a 450 mA load current step. The maximum power conversion efficiency is 94.6% at 1 MHz switching frequency when input and output voltages are 5 V and 1.8 V, respectively.

Single-switch parallel power factor correction AC-DC converters with inherent load current feedback

Single-stage power factor correction (PFC) ac-dc converters usually suffer from high bulk capacitor voltage stress and extra switch current stress. Bulk capacitor voltage feedback with a coupled-winding structure can dramatically alleviate the stresses. However, this type of feedback is indirect because the feedback only occurs after the bulk capacitor voltage increases. This paper presents a family of single-switch single-stage parallel PFC ac-dc converters with inherent load current feedback. Unlike the bulk capacitor voltage feedback, which utilizes the decreased duty ratio and the increased bulk capacitor voltage to reduce the input power at light load, the load current feedback can reduce the input power automatically at light load while maintaining an unchanged duty ratio. The proposed converters combine the advantages of simple topology, low bulk capacitor voltage, and no extra current stress across the switch. The concept is verified using an ac-dc converter with universal-line input and 5-V, 60-W output power. The input current harmonics meet IEC1000-3-2 Class D requirements.
