We present two fully differential limiting amplifiers with and without inductive peaking, designed and integrated in 0.18mm digital CMOS technology. The key design trade-offs, the importance of inductive coupling between neighboring channels, as well as th ...
We address the quantitative comparison of two basic connection schemes for on-chip communication, connection-oriented and connection-less, regarding their enforcement of a defined Quality-of-Service for the communication. For such comparison, we have built ...
This paper presents a new approach for monitoring and estimating device reliability of nanometer-scale devices prior to fabrication. A four-layer architecture exhibiting a large immunity to permanent as well as random failures is used. A complete Monte Car ...
