Power-supply circuits for ultralow-power subthreshold MOS-LSIs
A low-voltage power supply circuit is developed for micropower CMOS LSI applications, especially for microwatt smart-sensor LSIs. The circuit consists of a switched-capacitor voltage converter and a series regulator. The switched converter lowers battery voltage 1.5–3V to a low voltage of 0.5–0.7V to drive the series regulator, and the series regulator provides LSI logic gates with a power volt...
متن کاملTemperature-compensated CMOS current reference circuit for ultralow-power subthreshold LSIs
This paper proposes a low-current reference circuit for power-aware LSI applications. The circuit consists of two current generation subcircuits which are based on β-multiplier circuit, one with a positive and the other with a negative temperature coefficient. The variation of the reference current in a sample circuit designed to produce a current of 230 nA can be kept very small within ±1.3% i...
متن کاملTranslinear Circuits Using Subthreshold Floating-Gate MOS Transistors
We describe a family of current-mode circuits with multiple inputs and multiple outputs whose output currents are products and/or quotients of powers of the input currents. These circuits are made up of multiple-input oating-gate MOS (FGMOS) transistors operating in the subthreshold regime. The powers are set by capacitor ratios; hence, they can be quite accurate. We analyze the general family ...
متن کاملDynamic Charge Restoration of Floating Gate Subthreshold MOS Translinear Circuits
We extend a class of analog CMOS circuits that can be used to perform many analog computational tasks. The circuits utilize MOSFET’s in their subthreshold region as well as capacitors and switches to produce the computations. We show a few basic currentmode building blocks that perform squaring, square root, and multiplication/division which should be sufficient to gain understanding of how to ...
متن کاملLow-power temperature-to-frequency converter consisting of subthreshold CMOS circuits for integrated smart temperature sensors
A low-power temperature-sensing oscillator was developed using a 0.35m standard CMOS process. This oscillator generates a clock pulse whose frequency is proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT frequency). It consists of a PTAT current generator controlled with an external reference clock and a frequency-locked loop biased with an external reference voltage. The PTAT current generator makes u...
