This paper presents the first 150GHz amplifier in a digital 65nm CMOS technology. Design techniques to preserve raw transistor gain near fmax include layout optimization, dummy-prefilled microstrip lines (MSL) for design-rule compliance, and matching topologies which minimize passive element losses. To the authors’ knowledge, the measured 8.3dB gain, 6.3dBm saturated output power (Psat), 1.5dBm...

Abstract: This paper presents a new methodology for design of high speed CMOS operational amplifier in Sub-micron region. The opamp uses a compensation technique which increases the unity gain frequency and phase margin simultaneously.

We investigate a synchronous circuit reliability for 65nm−40nm CMOS technology. The impact of Random telegraph noise (RTN) and Negative Bias Temperature Instability (NBTI) on a circuit is evaluated. We found two things. (i) RTN at one or a few stages of a combinational circuit induces a large delay fluctuation under low voltage operation. (ii) LSI lifetime can be extended by utilizing NBTI reco...

Dynamic domino logic circuits are widely used in modern digital VLSI circuits. These dynamic circuits are often favored in high performance designs because of the speed advantage offered over static CMOS logic circuits. The main drawbacks of dynamic logic are a lack of design automation, a decreased tolerance to noise and increased power Consumption. Dynamic CMOS circuits, featuring a high spee...

This paper presents a fully integrated CMOS Vband Injection-Locked Power Amplifier (ILPA) for phase and frequency modulated millimeter-Wave (mm-Wave) transmitter. At mm-Wave frequency, multi-stage PAs are usually employed to achieve enough power gain due to low power gain of CMOS transistor even though it has low power efficiency. This work investigates mm-Wave ILPA for constant envelope modula...

This paper examines the suitability of advanced SiGe BiCMOS and sub 65nm CMOS technologies for applications beyond 80GHz.
