ABSTRACT

A low power programmable low drop-out regulator capable of providing 1V output has been proposed. The regulator requires a supply voltage of 1.2V and works in the temperature range of -40 to 125 ˚C in nominal corner (i.e, normal doping for PMOS and NMOS Field Effect Transistors), yielding a load regulation of 3%. The output voltage level is controlled externally by means of 2 1-bit control signals. The circuit provides a DC gain of 30 dB and a maximum DC Power Supply Rejection Ratio of -35 dB and a worst case PSRR of -20 dB. Power dissipation in the load is nearly 100 µW.


KEYWORDS

Low Drop-Out, Voltage Regulator, Low Power, Low quiescent current.

ABSTRACT

A rail-to-rail class-AB CMOS buffer is proposed in this paper to drive large capacitive loads. A new technique is used to reduce the leakage power of class-AB CMOS buffer circuits without affecting dynamic power dissipation .The name of applied technique is LECTOR, which gives the high speed buffer with the reduced low power dissipation (1.05%) and reduced area (2.8%). The proposed buffer is simulated at 45nm CMOS technology and the circuit is operated at 3V supply with cadence software. This analog circuit is performed with extremely low leakage current as well as high current driving capability for the large input voltages. The proposed paper is achieved very high speed with very low propagation delay range i.e.(292×10-12). So the delay of the circuit is reduced to 10%. The settling time of this circuit is reduced by 24% (in ns) at 3V square wave input. The measured quiescent current is 41µA.

ABSTRACT

As, the number of vehicles are increased day by day in rapid manner. It causes the problem of traffic congestion, pollution (noise and air). To overcome this problem A FPGA based parking system has been proposed. In this paper, parking system is implemented using Finite State Machine modelling. The system has two main modules i.e. identification module and slot checking module. Identification module identifies the visitor. Slot checking module checks the slot status. These modules are modelled in HDL and implemented on FPGA. A prototype of parking system is designed with various interfaces like sensor interfacing, stepper motor and LCD.

CROSSTALK MINIMIZATION FOR COUPLED RLC INTERCONNECTS USING BIDIRECTIONAL BUFFER AND SHIELD INSERTION

Damanpreet Kaur and V.Sulochana

Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) Mohali, India

ABSTRACT
Crosstalk noise is often induced in long interconnects running parallel to each other. There is a need to minimize the effect of these crosstalk noise so as to maintain the signal integrity in interconnects. In this paper crosstalk noise is minimized using various techniques such as repeater (bidirectional buffer) insertion along with shielding, skewing and shielding & skewing simultaneously. With the help of these techniques crosstalk noise is controlled to a great extent in long interconnects. Pre-layout and Post-layout simulations for crosstalk are carried out for these techniques at 180nm technology node using Cadence EDA tools. The influences of these techniques are analyzed and it is found that crosstalk is reduced up to 32 % with repeater insertion, 47% with skewing, 58% with shielding and 81% with skewing & shielding simultaneously.

Crosstalk, Bidirectional Buffer, Shielding, Skewing.
