  This paper presents a novel threshold-compensation technique for multi-stage voltage multipliers employed in low power applications such as passive and autonomous wireless sensing nodes (WSNs) powered by energy harvesters. The proposed threshold-reduction technique enables a topological design methodology which, through an optimum control of the trade-off among transistor conductivity and leakage losses, is aimed at maximizing the voltage conversion efficiency (VCE) for a given ac input signal and physical chip area occupation. The conducted simulations positively assert the validity of the proposed design methodology, emphasizing the exploitable design space yielded by the transistor connection scheme in the voltage multiplier chain. An experimental validation and comparison of threshold-compensation techniques was performed, adopting 2N5247 N-channel junction field effect transistors (JFETs) for the realization of the voltage multiplier prototypes. The attained measurements clearly support the effectiveness of the proposed threshold-reduction approach, which can significantly reduce the chip area occupation for a given target output performance and ac input signal

  In this paper, we characterize and model a bidirectional front-end based on pseudo-floating gate amplifier (PFGA) for actuation and read-out of resonating sensors. The basic idea consists of swapping the power supply of the PFGA in order to change the directionality of the front-end. A detailed description of the system has been discussed in this paper and supported by simulations and measurement results. A prototype has been fabricated using discrete components and tested with a real transducer (Murata MA40S4) and a Butterworth Van Dyke (BvD) load, which has proved to be proved to be a well approximated model for resonant sensors. The bidirectional amplifier has been implemented with the integrated circuit CD4007UB, which is a commercial discrete component containing low leakage MOSFET. The values chosen for the BvD load are Rb = 330 W, Lm = 60 mH, Cs = 450 pF, CE = 2.2 nF, which are approximately the same values of the lumped parameters reported in the data-sheet of the real sensor. This transducer is characterized by a nominal resonant frequency of 40 kHz. Measurement results show good fitting with the models developed in this work and the possibility to predict the sensor response by using the BvD load.

  In this paper, we present a low power bump circuit for finding similarity between two voltages. The circuit is based on a voltage correlator that in combination with a differential pair achieves the low power behavior. The circuit has low power consumption and low sensitivity when the different between the two input is large, but as they approach each other the sensitivity increases. The proposed circuit is very simple in design and can have more than 4 orders of magnitude less power consumption than the normal bump circuit.

  In this paper, we analyze the effects of channel leakage on the design, modelling and characterization of a high voltage pseudo-floating gate amplifier (PFGA) used as sensor front-end. Leakages are known as a major challenge in new modern CMOS technologies, which are used to bias the PFGA, and consequently affect the behavior of the amplifier. As high voltages are desired for actuation of many types of resonating sensors, especially in ultrasound applications, PFGA implemented in high voltage and low leakage technologies, such as older CMOS fabrication processes or power MOSFET can be the only option. The challenge with these technologies used to implement the PFGA is that the leakages are very low, which affect the biasing of the floating gate. However, the numerous advantages of this type of amplifier, implemented with modern fabrication processes, such as high flexibility, compactness, low power consumption , etc. encouraged the authors to research about this topic. This work provides analysis of the working principle and the design rules for this amplifier, emphasizing the major differences between PFGA implemented in low leakage and high leakage technologies. Static and dynamic analysis, input offset and non-linearity of the PFGA are the main topics of this article. Three different design approaches are presented in this paper, in order to provide a more general design procedure and offset compensation for any low leakage PFGA. The amplifier has been simulated in AMS-0.35mm CMOS models for supply voltages of 5 V and 10 V. Two prototypes have been realized to verify the validity of the modelling and the simulation results. Both devices have been realized by using discrete components and mounted on a printed circuit board. In this work, MOSFETs are realized by using commercial IC CD4007UB and 2N7000. Measurement results of the first prototype proved that the implementation of a low leakage PFGA is possible after that the input offset of the amplifier has been compensated. Measurement results of the second prototype have been used to characterize the low leakage PFGA, extracting the best performances from this amplifier, realized with less components and providing a more compact device. Finally, design rules have been summarized in order to implement this amplifier, which enjoys compactness and a relative low power dissipation.

  In this paper, we present a solution to the ultra low voltage inverter by adding a keeper transistor in order to make the semi-floating-gate more stable and to reduce the current dissipation. Moreover, we also present a differential ULV inverter and elaborate on the reliability and fault tolerance of the gate. The differential ULV gate compared to both a former ULV gate and standard CMOS are given. The results are obtained through Monte-Carlo simulations.

  In this paper we present a bulk-controlled Pseudo Floating-Gate (BCPFG) Bandpass filter. The filter has a limited Open-Loop gain and linearity for supply voltages down to 600mV . The filter is based on Pseudo Floating-Gate active load amplifier and in addition to gain, it offers frequency band adjustment. Both the low- and high-frequency cutoffs are controlled electronically using bias voltages through the transistor bulks. The BCPFG BP filter enjoys low component spread and compactness, containing only small size transistors and capacitors suited for integration. The simulations presented in this paper are valid for the 90nm CMOS transistor models from STM having a V DD equal to 1.2V and threshold voltage of 250mV.

  Simple and symmetrical ultra low-voltage current mode analog circuits and autozeroing amplifiers are presented. The low-voltage analog circuits are based on low-voltage inverters resembling precharge digital logic. Ultra low-voltage analog circuits can be operated at supply voltages down to 250 mV with rail-to-rail input and output swing. The output current of the ultra low-voltage symmetrical transconductance amplifier can be quite large due to a current boost technique. Ultra low-voltage analog circuits can be operated at supply voltages down to 250 mV with rail- to-rail input and output swing. The current headroom is 3 lA and the supply voltage is 300 mV. For supply voltages down to 300 mV simulated data shows that the maximum clock frequency is approximately 600 MHz.

Furthermore, the delay variations due to mismatch is much less than for conventional CMOS. Differential domino gates for AND/NAND and OR/NOR operation are presented.

  In this paper we present an ultra low-voltage and high speed D flip-flop. The flip-flop has an increased current level compared to standard CMOS circuits operating at low supply voltages. The increased current level is obtained by using a synchronized capacitive coupling to a semi floating-gate. The delay of the static differential flip-flop presented is less than 12% compared to conventional differential CMOS flip-flops. The presented circuits have been simulated using Hspice and are valid for 90nm TSMC CMOS process. The proposed high-speed and ultra low-voltage flip-flop can be used for any digital lowvoltage CMOS application.

  In this paper we present a tunable Auto-Zeroing Amplifier(AZA). The amplifier is based on Pseudo Floating gate and in addition to gain, it offers frequency band adjustment. Both the low- and high-frequency cutoffs are controlled electronically using bias voltages, thus the amplifier can be used in design of various time continues filters. The peak gain of the AZA is 22dB dB at 100 MHz and has a bandwidth from. The AZA enjoys low component spread and compactness, containing only small size transistors and capacitors suited for integration. We will also show a second order section realized using the AZA. The simulations presented in this paper are valid for the 90nm CMOS transistor models from STM having a V DD equal to 1.2V and threshold voltage of 0.25V.
