Temperature sensors and voltage references require cells that generate both PTAT (Proportional To Absolute Temperature) and NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) voltages. We pre...
The Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) is a fundamental block in RF IC architectures. Today’s wireless communication applications do require a high level of performances from s...

1 The increasing test data volume required to ensure high test quality when testing a System-on-Chip is becoming a problem since it (the test data volume) must fit the ATE (Automa...
Leakage power consumption of current CMOS technology is already a great challenge. ITRS projects that leakage power consumption may come to dominate total chip power consumption a...
