This thesis presents a system for optimization of analog circuit topologies and component values. The topology is optimized using simulated annealing, while the component values are optimized using gradient descent. Local minima are avoided and constraints are kept through the use of coordinate transformations, as well as the use of default starting points for component values. The system is targeted for use in 3D integrated circuit design. The architecture is extendable, and is designed to eventually include capabilities for automated layout and mixed-signal design.

Abstract:
This thesis deals with the reliability analysis of a fuel pump driver circuit (FPDC), which regulates the amount of fuel pumped to a turbojet engine. Reliability analysis in such critical circuits has great importance since unexpected failures may cause serious financial loss and even human death. In this study, two types of reliability analysis are used: &ldquo
Worst Case Circuit Tolerance Analysis&rdquo
(WCCTA) and &ldquo
Failure Modes and Effects Analysis&rdquo
(FMEA). WCCTA involves the analysis of the circuit operation under varying parameters in their tolerance bands. These parameters include the resistances of the resistors, operating temperature and voltage input value. The operation of FPDC is checked and the most critical parameters are determined in the worst case conditions. While performing WCCTA, a method that guarantees the exact worst case conditions is used rather than probabilistic methods like Monte Carlo analysis. The results showed that the parameter variations do not affect the circuit operation unfavorably
operating temperature, voltage input variation and tolerance bands for the resistances are fairly compatible with the circuit operation. FMEA is implemented according to the short circuit and open circuit failures of all the electronic components used in FPDC. The components whose failure has catastrophic effect on the circuit operation have been determined and some preventive actions have been offered for some catastrophic failures.

Abstract:
The programmability property of floating-gate transistors is exploited in this work to compensate for mismatch and device parameter variations in various high performance analog circuits. A careful look is taken at the characteristics and behavior of floating-gate transistors; issues such as programming, precision, accuracy, and charge retention are addressed. An alternate approach to reduce the offset voltage of the amplifier is presented. The proposed approach uses floating-gate transistors as programmable current sources that provide offset compensation while being a part of the amplifier of interest during normal operation. This results in an offset voltage cancelation that is independent of other amplifier parameters and does not dissipate additional power. Two compact programmable architectures that implement a voltage reference based on the charge difference between two floating-gate transistors are introduced. The references exhibit a low temperature coefficient (TC) as all the transistors temperature dependencies are canceled. Programming the charge on the floating-gate transistors provides the flexibility of an arbitrary accurate voltage reference with a single design and allows for a high initial accuracy of the reference. Also, this work presents a novel programmable temperature compensated current reference. The proposed circuit achieves a first order temperature compensation by canceling the negative TC of an on-chip poly resistor with the positive TC of a MOS transistor operating in the ohmic region. Programmability of the ohmic resistor enables optimal temperature compensation while programmability of the reference voltage allows for an accurate current reference for a wide range of values. Finally, this work combines the already established DAC design techniques with floating-gate circuits to obtain a high precision converter. This approach enables higher accuracy along with a substantial decrease of the die size.

Full text
Abstract:
A fast and efficient method for the design of multi-layered circuit analog absorbing structures is developed. The method is based on optimization of specular reflection coefficient of a multi-layered absorbing structure comprising of lossy FSS layers by using Genetic Algorithm and circuit equivalent models of FSS layers. With the introduced method, two illustrative absorbing structures are designed with -15 dB reflectivity for normal incidence case in the frequency bands of 10-31 GHz and 5-46 GHz, respectively. To the author&rsquo
s knowledge, designed absorbers are superior in terms of frequency bandwidth to similar studies conducted so far in the literature. For broadband scattering characterization of periodic structures, numerical codes are developed. The introduced method is improved with the employment of developed FDTD codes to the proposed method. By taking the limitations regarding production facilities into consideration, a five-layered circuit analog absorber is designed and manufactured. It is shown that the manufactured structure is capable of 15 dB reflectivity minimization in a frequency band of 3.2-12 GHz for normal incidence case with an overall thickness of 14.2 mm.

In this thesis, we analyze state-of-art techniques for analog circuit sizing and compare them on various metrics. We ascertain that a methodology which improves the accuracy of sizing without increasing the run time or the designer effort is a contribution. We argue that the accuracy of geometric programming can be improved without adversely influencing the run time or increasing the designer's effort. This is facilitated by decomposition of geometric programming modeling into two steps, which decouples accuracy of models and run-time of geometric programming. We design a new algorithm for producing accurate posynomial models for MOS transistor parameters, which is the first step of the decomposition. The new algorithm can generate posynomial models with variable number of terms and real-valued exponents. The algorithm is a hybrid of a genetic algorithm and a convex optimization technique. We study the performance of the algorithm on artificially created benchmark problems. We show that the accuracy of posynomial models of MOS parameters is improved by a considerable amount by using the new algorithm. The new posynomial modeling algorithm can be used in any application of geometric programming and is not limited to MOS parameter modeling. In the last chapter, we discuss various ideas to improve the state-of-art in circuit sizing.

This dissertation describes a methodology for solving convex constraint problems using analog circuits. It demonstrates how this methodology can be used to design circuits that solve function-fitting problems through iterated gradient descent. In particular, it shows how to build a small circuit that can model a nonlinearity by observation, and predistort to compensate for this nonlinearity. The system fits into a broader effort to investigate non-traditional approaches to circuit design. First, it breaks the traditional input-output abstraction barrier; all ports are bidirectional. Second, it uses a different methodology for proving system stability with local rather than global properties. Such stability arguments can be scaled to much more complex systems than traditional stability criteria.

Abstract:
In the world of VLSI (very large scale integration) technology, there are many different types of circuit simulators that are used to design and predict the circuit behavior before actual fabrication of the circuit. In this thesis, I compared and evaluated existing circuit simulators by considering standard benchmark circuits. The circuit simulators which I evaluated and explored are Ngspice, Tclspice, Winspice (open source) and Spectre® (commercial). I also tested standard benchmarks using these circuit simulators and compared their outputs. The simulators are evaluated using design metrics in order to quantify their performance and identify efficient circuit simulators. In addition, I designed a sigma-delta modulator and its individual components using the analog behavioral language Verilog-A. Initially, I performed simulations of individual components of the sigma-delta modulator and later of the whole system. Finally, CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) transistor-level circuits were designed for the differential amplifier, operational amplifier and comparator of the modulator.

Synaptic plasticity is the ability of a synaptic connection to change in strength and is believed to be the basis for learning and memory. Currently, two types of synaptic plasticity exist. First is the spike-timing-dependent-plasticity (STDP), a timing-based protocol that suggests that the efficacy of synaptic connections is modulated by the relative timing between presynaptic and postsynaptic stimuli. The second type is the Bienenstock-Cooper-Munro (BCM) learning rule, a classical ratebased protocol which states that the rate of presynaptic stimulation modulates the synaptic strength. Several theoretical models were developed to explain the two forms of plasticity but none of these models came close in identifying the biophysical mechanism of plasticity. Other studies focused instead on developing neuromorphic systems of synaptic plasticity. These systems used simple curve fitting methods that were able to reproduce some types of STDP but still failed to shed light on the biophysical basis of STDP. Furthermore, none of these neuromorphic systems were able to reproduce the various forms of STDP and relate them to the BCM rule. However, a recent discovery resulted in a new unified model that explains the general biophysical process governing synaptic plasticity using fundamental ideas regarding the biochemical reactions and kinetics within the synapse. This brilliant model considers all types of STDP and relates them to the BCM rule, giving us a fresh new approach to construct a unique system that overcomes all the challenges that existing neuromorphic systems faced. Here, we propose a novel analog verylarge- scale-integration (aVLSI) circuit that successfully and accurately captures the whole picture of synaptic plasticity based from the results of this latest unified model. Our circuit was tested for all types of STDP and for each of these tests, our design was able to reproduce the results predicted by the new-found model. Two inputs are required by the system, a glutamate signal that carries information about the presynaptic stimuli and a dendritic action potential signal that contains information about the postsynaptic stimuli. These two inputs give rise to changes in the excitatory postsynaptic current which represents the modifiable synaptic efficacy output. Finally, we also present several techniques and alternative circuit designs that will further improve the performance of our neuromorphic system.

Abstract:
This research investigates lower-power lower-voltage analog circuit techniques suitable for wireless sensor applications. Wireless sensors have been used in a wide range of applications and will become ubiquitous with the revolution of internet of things (IoT). Due to the demand of low cost, miniature desirable size and long operating cycle, passive wireless sensors which don't require battery are more preferred. Such sensors harvest energy from energy sources in the environment such as radio frequency (RF) waves, vibration, thermal sources, etc. As a result, the obtained energy is very limited. This creates strong demand for low power, lower voltage circuits. The RF and analog circuits in the wireless sensor usually consume most of the power. This motivates the research presented in the dissertation. Specially, the research focuses on the design of a low power high efficiency regulator, low power Resistance to Digital Converter (RDC), low power Successive Approximation Register (SAR) Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) with parasitic error reduction and a low power low voltage Low Dropout (LDO) regulator. This dissertation includes a low power analog circuit design for the RFID wireless sensor which consists of the energy harvest circuits (an optimized rectifier and a regulator with high current efficiency) and a sensor measurement circuit (RDC), a single end sampling SAR ADC with no error induced by the parasitic capacitance and a digital loop LDO whose line and load variation response is improved. These techniques will boost the design of the wireless sensor and they can also be used in other similar low power design.

Abstract:
PCM test structures are commonly used to check the produced wafers from the standpoint of the technologist. In general these structures are managed inside the FAB and are focused on standard device properties. Hence their development and analysis is not driven by analog circuit blocks, which are sensitive or often used. Especially for DFM/Y of analog circuits the correlation between design and technology has to be defined. The knowledge of electrical behavior of test structures helps to improve the designer's sensitivity to technological questions. This paper presents a method to bring the PCM methodology into the analog circuit design to improve design performance, yield estimation and technology correlation. We show how both analog circuit and PCM blocks can be simulated and analyzed in the design phase.

Abstract:
As one of the major building blocks in a wireless receiver, the Analog-to-Digital Interface (ADI) provides link and transition between the analog Radio Frequency (RF) frontend and the baseband Digital Signal Processing (DSP) module. The rapid development of the radio technologies raises new design challenges for the receiver ADI implementation. Requirements, such as power consumption optimization, multi-standard compatibility, fast settling capability and wide signal bandwidth capacity, are often encountered in a low voltage ADI design environment. Previous research offers ADI design schemes that emphasize individual merit. A systematic ADI design methodology is, however, not suffciently studied. In this work, the ADI design for two receiver systems are employed as research vehicles to provide solutions for different ADI design issues. A zero-crossing demodulator ADI is designed in the 0.35µm CMOS technology for the Bluetooth receiver to provide fast settling. Architectural level modification improves the process variation and the Local Oscillation (LO) frequency offset immunity of the demodulator. A 16.2dB Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) at 0.1% Bit Error Rate (BER) is achieved with less than 9mW power dissipation in the lab measurement. For ADI in the 802.11b/Bluetooth dual-mode receiver, a configurable time-interleaved pipeline Analog-to-Digital-Converter (ADC) structure is adopted to provide the required multi-standard compatibility. An online digital calibration scheme is also proposed to compensate process variation and mismatching. The prototype chip is fabricated in the 0.25µm BiCMOS technology. Experimentally, an SNR of 60dB and 64dB are obtained under the 802.11b and Bluetooth receiving modes, respectively. The power consumption of the ADI is 20.2mW under the 802.11b receiving mode and 14.8mW under the Bluetooth mode. In this dissertation, each step of the receiver ADI design procedure, from system level optimization to the transistor level implementation and lab measurement, is illustrated in detail. The observations are carefully studied to provide insight on receiver ADI design issues. The ADI design for the Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) receiver is also studied at system level. Potential ADI structure is proposed to satisfy the wide signal bandwidth and high speed requirement for future applications.

Abstract:
The growing interest in programmable analog circuits has led to the development of Field Programmable Analog Arrays (FPAAs). An FPAA consists of: 1) a programmable cell that can be reconfigured to perform several analog functions. 2) an architecture that interconnects a number of copies of the programmable cell. In this thesis, the full monolithic circuit implementation of the analog part of the programmable cell is presented. Chapter I gives an introduction to the idea of FPAA and introduces the FPAA architecture and the cell block diagram. Chapter II deals with the design and verification of a differential current-mode four-quadrant multiplier. The weighting-summing circuit with the normalizing stage is discussed in Chapter III. Chapter IV presents the design of a current-mode low-voltage programmable integratorgain circuit. Programmability was achieved by changing the bias current in the designed circuits; no analog switches were used in the signal path. This shows no effect on the performance of the circuits. The presented programming method, however, relies on the availability of a programmable current source with a storage capability. The design of this current source is discussed in chapter V. Conclusions are summarized in Chapter VI. The presented designs throughout the whole thesis were supported by detailed analytical derivations with the necessary SPICE simulations to verify the performance.

In this dissertation, two important current mode circuit design subjects have been explored. In the first part, the switched-current circuit technique has been investigated. The fundamental performance and limitations of this technique are explored. One of the major limitations, the signal distortion caused by clock feedthrough has been substantially reduced by a newly developed clock feedthrough cancellation technique. In addition, a filter synthesis technique has been developed by directly simulating the structure of digital filter. Several experimental CMOS prototypes have been designed and fabricated. The measured frequency and phase responses demonstrated the feasibility of this synthesis technique. In the second part, a new logic family called current-steering logic has been developed. The fundamental performance and characteristics of this technique have been discussed including the basic inverter and NOR gate with DC analysis, transient analysis and power-delay product. It has been shown that the current-steering logic has, a much smaller current spike than conventional CMOS logic circuits, which is especially desirable in mixed-mode applications. Several experimental prototypes have verified the functionality and performance of this new technique.

In modern analog layout design, it is very important to consider layout design hierarchy for better layout quality and circuit performance especially when conducting analog device placement. To reduce unwanted parasitic effects arising from device mismatches and circuit sensitivities due to thermal gradients and process variation, it is also essential to consider device matching, device symmetry, and device proximity in each hierarchy. In addition, when integrating power and non-power devices on the same chip, the preferred thermal profile should be further considered for better thermal device matching. In this dissertation, we present a hierarchical analog placement approach with the consideration of layout design hierarchy by introducing the novel hierarchical B*-tree (HB*-tree) and automatically symmetric-feasible B*-tree (ASF-B*-tree) floorplan representations. To further achieve the most important layout constraints including, device matching, (hierarchical) device symmetry, and (hierarchical) device proximity, as well as the preferred thermal profile, we propose: (1) a pattern-based matching placement and routing approach to facilitate the layout generation of matching device groups, such as current mirrors, (2) the first linear-time packing algorithm for analog placement with symmetry constraints by introducing the symmetry-island formulation for symmetry device groups, such as differential circuits, (3) the first analog placement approach based on hierarchical circuit clustering by exploring the correlation between the proximity constraints and properties of HB*-trees, and (4) the first thermal-driven analog placement considering thermal device matching by directly optimizing the thermal profile on the chip. Experimental results based on the analog benchmark circuits show that our hierarchical analog placement approach is the most effective one to handle analog placement with matching, (hierarchical) symmetry, and (hierarchical) proximity constraints. It can achieve the best published runtime efficiency and analog circuit performance/accuracy with the least impact due to the thermal gradient.

The advantages of the proposed design include improved phase detection without ambiguity of the arrival direction and with small tuning range of the phase shifting. The summed output power varies less than 0.5 dB in the measurement of sinusoidal input signals. Signals with 16-QAM modulation are also inspected with good phase compensation.

This thesis described the design and implementation of analog filter design. We use non-opamp-based unity gain buffer to construct high-speed filter architecture. The experiment result show that we can arrive the cutoff frequency about 200Mhz.We also realize Gm-C filter with GaAs HBT technology. A high linear transconductance is used by 4:1 emitter ratio topology and we use negative resistance to improve the output impedance of transconductance. The measurement result show that we realize a 3rd order Butterworth filter by cascading method .The cutoff frequency is about 10Mhz.We also use LC ladder signal-flow to realize 5th order Elliptic filter, which is suit for baseband frequency application. The transconductance is realized in rail-to-rail topology. In the chapter six we will realize a polyphase filter to reject the image signal . The principle of a polyphase filter is different to symmetric analog filter .We use the transformation from LP to BP to realize the image rejection. The measured results verify our design and implementation of analog filter . They also provide theory and implementation

Semiconductor technology has made incredibly progress since the first electronic product was created. In contrast to digital circuits, however, the analog circuit automatic layout tool is in its comparative infancy. In order to shorten the development and design cycle of an analog layout, we propose an innovative approach to solve this issue and remedy the shortcoming of the previous work in this thesis. Our work can reduce the solution space of a floorplan and the thesis proposes the newly operation with respect to slicing tree structure. First, the sensitive MOSs are put together, and then applies a novel method to achieve global symmetry for non-sensitive MOSs in a circuit. The result shows that our approach is effective in improving the gain, bandwidth, and phase margin compared to the previous work.

This thesis complete pre-layout simulations and circuit layouts of a single-lead and a multi-lead ECG analog front-end circuits. Our proposed ECG analog front-end circuit includes an instrumentation amplifier, a band-pass filter, and a post-amplifier. Besides, we use a driving right Leg (DRL) circuit to filter out common mode interference. At first, we create an operational amplifier (OPA). Subsequently, we based on this OPA to construct a single-lead and a multi-lead ECG analog front-end circuit. We used the UMC 0.18um 2P6M CMOS process provided by National Applied Research Laboratories (NAR Labs) / Taiwan Semiconductor Research Institute (TSRI) to complete our proposed ECG analog front-end circuits. At present, pre-layout simulations and layout designs of single-lead and three-lead ECG analog front-end integrated circuits have completed. Integrating multi-lead ECG analog front-end integrated circuit components and embedded microcontrollers with built-in analog-to-digital converters to construct multi-lead ECG measurement systems can significantly reduce the volume of the systems. The results of our work will be a part of multi-lead ECG measurement system-on-chip (SoC) in the future.

The purpose of this thesis is to design a better efficiency EEG analog front-end circuit with compact size. We used the UMC 0.18um 2P6M CMOS process provided by National Applied Research Laboratories (NAR Labs) / Taiwan Semiconductor Research Institute (TSRI) to implement the analog front-end circuit of EEG machines. Due to the reduction in the size of the circuit, it can be applied to a wearable EEG machine in the future. This thesis consists of two parts, the first part is design of operational amplifiers, and the second part is to use this design of operational amplifiers to construct EEG analog front-end circuits. In the future, we will add an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to our EEG analog front-end circuits to convert the output into a digital signal. As a result, subsequent application systems will be made easier to design.

In this thesis, observer-based analog circuit diagnosis is presented. A significant portion of the fault diagnosis of the analog circuits relies on the state variables obtained from the testing node. Unfortunately, in practice, not all the state variables are accessible, and in general only the outputs of the circuit under test (CUT) are measurable. Therefore, it is necessary to observe the states from information contained in the output as well as the input variables when not all states are accessible. The subsystem that performs the observation of the state variables based on information received from the measurements of the input and output is called a state observer. Moreover, a fault diagnosis methodology is proposed based on vector fitting (VF) to analyze the analog circuit. VF is used to process the circuit frequency responses and to build the fault dictionary. From the simulation results, we can find the proposed technique is succeeded in diagnosing and locating faults quickly and exactly.

Layout design is a very important step in the analog CMOS IC design flow. Good layout quality should feature low susceptibility to digital noise and low sensitivity to process variation. It has historically been a time-consuming, manual task. The fast growth of complexity of VLSI systems and recent advances in System-On-Chip (SOC) developments, make it necessary to have powerful Computer-Aided-Design (CAD) tools to speed up the design process. This issue is especially important for analog circuit layout design. In this thesis, we present a tool to automate analog layout design with analog basic considerations (matching, symmetry, and noise coupling). It covers from device level module generation to block level placement and routing. Fist, we provide a module generator to transfer partitioned netlists to physical layout with matching consideration. Placement tool then places all cells with symmetric, wire length, and area constraints. Obstacle-avoiding shortest finding algorithm is used for our basic routing algorithm and we propose an approach to avoiding noise coupling between noisy and sensitive nets. According to experimental results, our tool can handle analog circuit layout with user specified constraints in the reasonable time and make analog layout design more efficient.

The goal of this thesis is to propose a new algorithm of virtual bass with analog circuits realization. The proposed method utilized the technique of psycho-acoustic to enhance low frequency parts of the audio signals without other costs in contrast with conventional methods which have trade-off in some performances. Poor low frequency response of small size speakers and headphones is a well-known problem. In this thesis, a new algorithm with proposed harmonics generator is first presented that we make use of theorem of missing fundamental to generate harmonics of fundamental frequency and replace it. Then the compensation followed by equal-loudness contour analysis is made to achieve the technique of loudness matching. The processed low frequency components of audio signals are then added with original high frequency components to replace the original audio signals. It is so-called virtual bass. The proposed harmonics generator includes a hysteresis comparison generator and a half-wave rectifier to generate odd and even harmonics. We also propose some simple architecture composed of analog circuits to realize the proposed algorithm which include the proposed full-wave rectifier, odd harmonics generator and even harmonics generator and use the switched-capacitor to replace the large resistance to realize filters. The detailed verification and performance will be described in the following chapters.

Semiconductor technology has made incredibly progress since the first electronic product was created. In contrast to digital circuits, however the analog circuit automatic layout tool is in its comparative infancy. In order to shorten the development and design cycle of an analog layout, we approach to the experience of engineer to increase the performance of automatic layout. Our work proposed computing parasitic capacity as cost function and optimizing segments’ interconnections and optimizing nets’ bends in routing. We mandated the symmetry nets symmetry strictly to match matching and to ensure the performance of circuit by circuit parsing. In automatic placement, we continued and optimized the work [1] of our laboratory in 2011 by modifying symmetry constraints and Process migration from 350nm to 180nm. Our work could totally achieve the circuit specification in Gain. The result of our program could pass DRC, LVS verification without manual modified and short the design cycle of an analog layout efficiently. We improved the method in Rectilinear Steiner tree and rotated the instances to compact circuit area. Keyword: analog routing, symmetry matching, capacity matching.
