A 1.2V 5GHz low-cost voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) with active common mode feedback has been implemented in a CMOS/RF 90nm technology for a robust I/Q generation using a frequency divider-by-2 (DIV2). As the input common mode of the DIV2 affects critically its performance, a calibration method to correct the output common mode of the VCO has been proposed and validated through post-layout...

A voltage controlled nano addressing circuit is proposed, which (1) improves yield and enables aggressive scaling with no requirement of precise layout design, (2) achieves precision of addressing by transistor current-to-voltage sensitivity in the circuit and applied external address voltages, and (3) is adaptive to and more robust in the presence of process variations which are expected to be...

This paper discusses the construction and application of two tools. The rst tool, MetaSim, allows multiple simulation studies to be automatically speci ed, conducted, and analyzed in such a fashion as to produce wiring rules for layout tools. One of MetaSim's current engines, Transim is a convolution simulator that incorporates a robust, rapid, and accurate method for the simulation of coupled,...

Fujitsu’s MB86H06 set-top box (STB) chip is a high-density chip featuring high-performance, superior error concealment, robust audio-video (AV) synchronization, and low cost. It comprises a QFP256 package with DDR2 memory and supports a two-layer printed circuit board (PCB) layout for a low bill of material (BOM) cost. It is widely used in the China terrestrial television broadcasting (CTTB) ma...

In this paper, we present a new method for line segments matching for indoor reconstruction. Instead of matching individual segments via a descriptor like most methods do, we match segment chains that have a distinctive topology using a dynamic programing formulation. Our method relies solely on the geometric layout of the segment chain and not on photometric or color profiles. Our tests showed...

This paper introduces a novel journal splitting algorithm. It takes full advantage of various kinds of information such as text match, layout and page numbers. The core procedure is a highly efficient text-mining algorithm, which detects the matched phrases between the content pages and the title pages of individual articles. Experiments show that this algorithm is robust and able to split a wi...

This paper describes a low cost, quick turnaround capability for generating high performance, random logic LSI and VLSI devices using the Standard Cell approach. This standard cell approach, described below, utilizes a fully automatic layout capability that automatically maximizes the speed of logic paths identified by the user as critical. In spite of the sophistication and size of the automat...
