    학위논문 (박사)-- 서울대학교 대학원 : 전기·컴퓨터공학부, 2013. 2. 정덕균.Two types of serial data communication receivers that adopt a multichannel architecture for a high aggregate I/O bandwidth are presented. Two techniques for collaboration and sharing among channels are proposed to enhance the loop-linearity and channel-expandability of multichannel receivers, respectively. The first proposed receiver employs a collaborative timing scheme recovery which relies on the sharing of all outputs of phase detectors (PDs) among channels to extract common information about the timing and multilevel signaling architecture of PAM-4. The shared timing information is processed by a common global loop filter and is used to update the phase of the voltage-controlled oscillator with better rejection of per-channel noise. In addition to collaborative timing recovery, a simple linearization technique for binary PDs is proposed. The technique realizes a high-rate oversampling PD while the hardware cost is equivalent to that of a conventional 2x-oversampling clock and data recovery. The first receiver exploiting the collaborative timing recovery architecture is designed using 45-nm CMOS technology. A single data lane occupies a 0.195-mm2 area and consumes a relatively low 17.9 mW at 6 Gb/s at 1.0V. Therefore, the power efficiency is 2.98 mW/Gb/s. The simulated jitter is about 0.034 UI RMS given an input jitter value of 0.03 UI RMS, while the relatively constant loop bandwidth with the PD linearization technique is about 7.3-MHz regardless of the data-stream noise. Unlike the first receiver, the second proposed multichannel receiver was designed to reduce the hardware complexity of each lane. The receiver employs shared calibration logic among channels and yet achieves superior channel expandability with slim data lanes. A shared global calibration control, which is used in a forwarded clock receiver based on a multiphase delay-locked loop, accomplishes skew calibration, equalizer adaptation, and the phase lock of all channels during a calibration period, resulting in reduced hardware overhead and less area required by each data lane. The second forwarded clock receiver is designed in 90-nm CMOS technology. It achieves error-free eye openings of more than 0.5 UI across 9− 28 inch Nelco 4000-6 microstrips at 4− 7 Gb/s and more than 0.42 UI at data rates of up to 9 Gb/s. The data lane occupies only 0.152 mm2 and consumes 69.8 mW, while the rest of the receiver occupies 0.297 mm2 and consumes 56 mW at a data rate of 7 Gb/s and a supply voltage of 1.35 V.1.

    This annual report comprises a set of summaries, describing task objectives, progress and results or accomplishments, future outlook, and financial status for each director's discretionary fund (DDF) task that was active during fiscal year 1984. Publications and conference presentations related to the work are listed. The individual reports are categorized as interim or final according to whether the task efforts are ongoing or completed. A partial list of new tasks to be initiated with fiscal year 1985 funds and a glossary of abbreviations and acronyms, used by the task authors in their summaries are included. The table of contents lists the DDF reports in sequence by their task number, which is derived from the 13-digit code assigned to account for the fund awarded to the task project

    This book features the manuscripts accepted for the Special Issue “Applications in Electronics Pervading Industry, Environment and Society—Sensing Systems and Pervasive Intelligence” of the MDPI journal Sensors. Most of the papers come from a selection of the best papers of the 2019 edition of the “Applications in Electronics Pervading Industry, Environment and Society” (APPLEPIES) Conference, which was held in November 2019. All these papers have been significantly enhanced with novel experimental results. The papers give an overview of the trends in research and development activities concerning the pervasive application of electronics in industry, the environment, and society. The focus of these papers is on cyber physical systems (CPS), with research proposals for new sensor acquisition and ADC (analog to digital converter) methods, high-speed communication systems, cybersecurity, big data management, and data processing including emerging machine learning techniques. Physical implementation aspects are discussed as well as the trade-off found between functional performance and hardware/system costs

    Sensors Fault Diagnosis Trends and Applications

    Get PDF
    Fault diagnosis has always been a concern for industry. In general, diagnosis in complex systems requires the acquisition of information from sensors and the processing and extracting of required features for the classification or identification of faults. Therefore, fault diagnosis of sensors is clearly important as faulty information from a sensor may lead to misleading conclusions about the whole system. As engineering systems grow in size and complexity, it becomes more and more important to diagnose faulty behavior before it can lead to total failure. In the light of above issues, this book is dedicated to trends and applications in modern-sensor fault diagnosis
