    The rapid expansion in data communication due to the increased multimedia applications and cloud computing services necessitates improvements in optical transceiver circuitry power efficiency as these systems scale well past 10 Gb/s. In order to meet these requirements, a 26 GHz transimpedance amplifier (TIA) is presented in a 0.25-µm SiGe BiCMOS technology. It employs a transformer-based regulated cascode (RGC) input stage which provides passive negative-feedback gain that enhances the effective transconductance of the TIA’s input common-base transistor; reducing the input resistance and pro- viding considerable bandwidth extension without significant noise degradation or power consumption. The TIA achieves a 53 dBΩ single-ended transimpedance gain with a 26√ GHz bandwidth and 21.3 pA/H z average input-referred noise current spectral density. Total chip power including output buffering is 28.2 mW from a 2.5 V supply, with the core TIA consuming 8.2 mW, and the chip area including pads is 960 µm × 780 µm. With the advance of photonic devices, optical interconnects becomes a promising technology to replace the conventional electrical channels for the high-bandwidth and power efficient inter/intra-chip interconnect. Second, a silicon photonic transceiver is presented for a silicon ring resonator-based optical interconnect architecture in a 1V standard 65nm CMOS technology. The transmitter circuits incorporate high-swing drivers with non-linear pre-emphasis and automatic bias-based tuning for resonance wavelength stabilization. An optical forwarded-clock adaptive inverter-based transimpedance amplifier (TIA) receiver trades-off power for varying link budgets by employing an on-die eye monitor and scaling the TIA supply for the required sensitivity. At 5 GB/s operation, the ring modulator un- der 4Vpp driver achieves 12.7dB extinction ratio with 4.04mW power consumption, while a 0.28nm tuning range is obtained at 6.8µW/GHz efficiency with the bias-based tuning scheme implemented with the 2Vpp transmitter. When tested with a wire-bonded 150f- F p-i-n photodetector, the receiver achieves -12.7dBm sensitivity at a BER=10−15 and consumes 2.2mW at 8 GB/s. Third, a novel Nano-Photonic Network-on-Chip (NoC) architecture, called LumiNoC, is proposed for high performance and power-efficient interconnects for the chip-multi- processors (CMPs). A 64-node LumiNoC under synthetic traffic enjoys 50% less latency at low loads versus other reported photonic NoCs, and ∼25% less latency versus the electrical 2D mesh NoCs on realistic workloads. Under the same ideal throughput, LumiNoC achieves laser power reduction of 78%, and overall power reduction of 44% versus competing designs

    Die Vermischung von Mikrowellen- und optischen Technologien – Mikrowellenphotonik – ist ein neu aufkommendes Feld mit hohem Potential. Durch die Nutzung der Vorzüge beider Welten hat die Mikrowellenphotonik viele Anwendungsfälle und ist gerade erst am Beginn ihrer Erfolgsgeschichte. Der Weg für neue Konzepte, neue Komponenten und neue Anwendungen wird dadurch geebnet, dass ein höherer Grad an Integration sowie neue Technologien wie Silicon Photonics verfügbar sind. In diesem Werk werden zuerst die notwendigen grundlegenden Basiskomponenten – optische Quelle, elektro-optische Wandlung, Übertragungsmedium und opto-elektrische Wandlung – eingeführt. Mithilfe spezifischer Anwendungsbeispiele, die von Chipebene bis hin zur Systemebene reichen, wird der elektrooptische Codesign-Prozess veranschaulicht. Schließlich werden zukünftige Ausrichtungen wie die Unterstützung von elektrischen Trägern im Millimeterwellen- und THz-Bereich sowie Realisierungsoptionen in integrierter Optik und Nanophotonik diskutiert.The hybridization between microwave and optical technologies – microwave photonics – is an emerging field with high potential.

In this work, first, the necessary basic building blocks – optical source, electro-optical conversion, transmission medium and opto-electrical conversion – are introduced. With the help of specific application examples ranging from chip level to system level, the electro-optical co-design process for microwave photonic systems is illustrated. Finally, future directions such as the support of electrical carriers in the millimeter wave and THz range and realization options in integrated optics and nanophotonics are discussed

    A 40-mV-Swing Single-Ended Transceiver for TSV with a Switched-Diode RX Termination

    No full text
    A switched-diode termination (SDT) is proposed to implement a low-power transceiver circuit for on-chip single-ended signaling through a through-silicon via (TSV). The channel signal swing is limited to 40 mV by the SDT to reduce the transmitter (TX) power. An inverter-cascade amplifier is used to reduce the receiver (RX) power. The SDT consists of an nMOS diode and a pMOS diode, which are connected in a series between power rails through the RX input node. Only one of these two diodes is switched on depending on the RX output data, which eliminates the short-circuit current of the center-tap resistor termination. Inverter feedback is applied to the cascade amplifier of the RX to increase the bandwidth from 0.9 to 5.0 GHz. The transceiver in the 65-nm CMOS process combined with an emulated five-stack TSV on the same chip works at 8 Gb/s with 149 fJ/b/pF and a 1.2-V supply.X1132sciescopu

    Low-Power High-Speed Transceivers with Channel-Swing of 40mV for TSV and PCB Channels

    No full text
    DoctorTwo transceiver circuits are proposed for low-power high-speed transmission by reducing the channel-signal-swing to 40mV; one is a single-ended transceiver circuit for an on-chip through-silicon via (TSV) channel and the other is a differential transceiver circuit for a 12” FR-4 channel. First, the single-ended transceiver circuit for on-chip TSV channel employs a switched-diode termination (SDT). The channel signal swing is limited to 40 mV by the SDT to reduce the transmitter (TX) power without short-circuit current loss of the center-tap resistor termination. An inverter-cascade amplifier is used to reduce the receiver (RX) power. Inverter feedback is applied to the cascade amplifier of the RX to increase the bandwidth from 0.9 to 5.0 GHz. The transceiver in the 65-nm CMOS process combined with an emulated five-stack TSV on the same chip works at 8 Gb/s with 149 fJ/b/pF and a 1.2-V supply. Second, the differential transceiver circuit has 40mVppd channel signal-swing, 9mVppd receiver (RX) input sensitivity, and 0.59pJ/b energy efficiency at 9Gb/s with a 12” FR-4 channel. A current-integrating TIA (CI-TIA) is used as a RX pre-amplifier to enhance the RX input sensitivity by increasing the voltage gain of the CI-TIA to around 18 at 9Gb/s. A voltage-mode pre-emphasis equalizer is combined with a current-mode logic (CML) driver at transmitter (TX) to save the low-frequency de-emphasis current of the conventional current-mode equalizer combined with a CML driver. The voltage-mode equalizer consists of a series connection of an inverter and a capacitor; the equalization coefficient is proportional to the supply voltage of the inverter. The transceiver chip in a 65nm CMOS process consumes 2.8mW at TX and 2.5mW at RX with a 1V supply and a 12” FR-4 channel at 9Gb/s

    Sprachtechnologie ist eine große und wachsende Industrie, die das Leben von technologieinteressierten Nutzern auf zahlreichen Wegen bereichert. Viele potenzielle Nutzer werden jedoch ausgeschlossen: Nämlich alle Sprecher, die nur schwer oder sogar gar nicht Sprache produzieren können. Silent-Speech Interfaces bieten einen Weg, mit Maschinen durch ein bequemes sprachgesteuertes Interface zu kommunizieren ohne dafür akustische Sprache zu benötigen. Sie können außerdem prinzipiell eine Ersatzstimme stellen, indem sie die intendierten Äußerungen, die der Nutzer nur still artikuliert, künstlich synthetisieren. Diese Dissertation stellt ein neues Silent-Speech Interface vor, das auf einem neu entwickelten Messsystem namens Elektro-Optischer Stomatografie und einem neuartigen parametrischen Vokaltraktmodell basiert, das die Echtzeitsynthese von Sprache basierend auf den gemessenen Daten ermöglicht. Mit der Hardware wurden Studien zur Einzelworterkennung durchgeführt, die den Stand der Technik in der intra- und inter-individuellen Genauigkeit erreichten und übertrafen. Darüber hinaus wurde eine Studie abgeschlossen, in der die Hardware zur Steuerung des Vokaltraktmodells in einer direkten Artikulation-zu-Sprache-Synthese verwendet wurde. Während die Verständlichkeit der Synthese von Vokalen sehr hoch eingeschätzt wurde, ist die Verständlichkeit von Konsonanten und kontinuierlicher Sprache sehr schlecht. Vielversprechende Möglichkeiten zur Verbesserung des Systems werden im Ausblick diskutiert.:Statement of authorship iii Abstract v List of Figures vii List of Tables xi Acronyms xiii 1.

Articulation-to-Speech: Optimal hyperparameters 189 Bibliography 191Speech technology is a major and growing industry that enriches the lives of technologically-minded people in a number of ways. Many potential users are, however, excluded: Namely, all speakers who cannot easily or even at all produce speech. Silent-Speech Interfaces offer a way to communicate with a machine by a convenient speech recognition interface without the need for acoustic speech. They also can potentially provide a full replacement voice by synthesizing the intended utterances that are only silently articulated by the user. To that end, the speech movements need to be captured and mapped to either text or acoustic speech. This dissertation proposes a new Silent-Speech Interface based on a newly developed measurement technology called Electro-Optical Stomatography and a novel parametric vocal tract model to facilitate real-time speech synthesis based on the measured data. The hardware was used to conduct command word recognition studies reaching state-of-the-art intra- and inter-individual performance. Furthermore, a study on using the hardware to control the vocal tract model in a direct articulation-to-speech synthesis loop was also completed. While the intelligibility of synthesized vowels was high, the intelligibility of consonants and connected speech was quite poor. Promising ways to improve the system are discussed in the outlook.:Statement of authorship iii Abstract v List of Figures vii List of Tables xi Acronyms xiii 1. Introduction 1 1.1.
