A sampling jitter tolerant continuous-time pipeline ADC
… in the bandwidth and sampling speed due to CMOS scaling have brought the deleterious effects of sampling clock jitter to the forefront. Any jitter in the sampling clock edge adds a random error to the input signal thereby limiting the maximum achievable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and hence …

Energy-efficient SRAM design in 28nm FDSOI Technology
As CMOS scaling continues to sub-32nm regime, the effects of device variations become more prominent. This is very critical in SRAMs, which use very small transistor dimensions to achieve high memory density. The conventional 6T SRAM bit-cell, which provides the smallest cell-area, fails to operate …
