A leakage current suppression technique for cascade SRAM array in 55 nm CMOS technology

Sub-threshold leakage is a major issue for low power circuits design, especially for SRAM design in SoC. Sub-threshold leakage can be decreased by scaling down supply voltage. However, this may dramatically increase the circuit delay. In this paper, we propose a novel 6 T SRAM array structure with a switch module which operates in the near threshold region to reduce the leakage current. In order to verify our proposed leakage reduction scheme, we designed and simulated an 8192 kB SRAM array based on a 16 KB single port SRAM cell memory model in 55 nm process. Several 6 T SRAM Array instances are implemented in 55-nm 1P6M CMOS technology to measure the standby current of the proposed scheme as well. With the proposed technique~ we achieved 28.3% reduction for leakage current compared to traditional 6 T SRAM array, in standby mode where gate leakage is dominant. The total penalty is 2% area increase and 1% speed reduction.

A low-power DC offset independent of IF gain calibration method for zero-IF receiver

A novel low-power DC offset calibration （DCOC） method independent of intermediate frequency （IF） gain for zero-IF receiver applications has been reported. The conventional analog DCOC method consumes greater power and affects the performance of the receiver. The conventional mixed-signal method requires enhanced memory to store the calibration results at different receiver gains as the DC offset is relative to the radio frequency （RF） and IF gain. A novel algorithm is presented to make the DCOC process independent of IF gain, which significantly reduces the memory area. With the proposed circuit, the receiver calibrates only once so settle-time and power consumption of the IF circuit is lowered. A DCOC circuit with the proposed method is manufactured in 0.18 p.m CMOS technology that drains nearly 0 mA equivalent current from a 1.8 V power supply.

Counterworking the Operation Disturbance of a Radiators Structure due to External Actions

The operation of a complicated radiators structure creating a required field in a given area is disturbed often due to different external actions. As an example, the impact of metallic objects approaching off to an antenna system with minimal irradiation on user＇s body is analyzed. In this case, the zone itself, where the area of a weak field （a dark spot） is created, is generally not approachable for sensors installation. In order to counteract the disturbance of the system operation due to presence of different metallic objects in close proximity to the radiators, two methods based on two information sources are studied. These information sources are antennas driving currents and fields at a predetermined point outside the given area. As an example, the antenna system used in the compensation method for reducing human＇s body irradiation, to which a metal object approaches, is analyzed. The conditions of severe external actions are considered： a great metal body and a small distance from this body to the dark spot. It is shown that under these conditions of severe external actions the second method based on the field values measuring demonstrates a higher efficiency. A block scheme for structure of an automatic adjustment is suggested. The considered problem is a common one, and developers of radio circuits are faced with them constantly.

Environmental Monitoring in Museums Based on Wireless Sensor Network via Cell Phone

Conservation of artworks in museums is a crucial issue to prevent their degradation. Thus, it is fundamental to continuously monitor the environment where artifacts are located. The WISE-MUSE project proposes the use of WSNs （wireless sensor networks） to carry out monitoring and automatically control of museums＇ environment and structural health. The deployment of a WSN can help to implement these measurements continuously, in a real-time basis, and in a much easier and cheaper way than when using traditional measuring equipment and procedures. Nevertheless, continuous monitoring implies providing immediate information of any abnormal value detected in the museums＇ environment. Thus, this contribution arises： the development of a new mobile application that allows users to continuously monitor the environment, but specially helps them to be more aware of any undesirable changes that may occur.
