Analog circuit design • Main disadvantage: low precision • Due to mismatch in analog circuit components such as transistors, resistors and capacitors • e.g. Amplifiers: lower input signal dynamic range Comparator: lower signal resolution Transistors: lower accuracy in current mode DAC • Advantage: • Less power consumption • Possibly smaller area
Mismatch correction • By trimming device • Larger device, layout technique in component mismatch • Autozeroing, correlated double sampling in amplifiers • Cost of extra area, power and design complexity • By in herent programming elements • Floating gate MOSFETs
First paper • Floating Gates Transistors For Precision Analog circuit Design: An Overview • Srinivasan, Graham and Hasler • Second paper • Analog Floating –Gate On chip Auditory Sensing System Interfaces • Hasler, Smith, Graham, Ellis and Anderson
First paper • Structure of Floating Gate MOSFET • Programming floating gate transistors • Programming precision • Charge retention • Application examples of Floating Gate MOSFET • Differential pairs • DAC • ADC
MOSFET • MOS Transistor • Floating Gate MOSFET • The gate is completely surrounded by SiO2 • No DC to ground • Used in Flash memory, ROM
Programming FG-MOSFET • Setting the DC voltage • Add or remove charge • Mainly two methods • Fowler Nordheim tunneling • As a global eraser for all floating gates • Hot electron injection • Program each floating gate to the desired value individually
Programming precision • What is the smallest drain current change • A single electron change results in an accuracy of or 12 bits
Charge Retention • Short term drift • Observed immediately after programming • Proportional to the amount of change that is programmed into the floating gate • Long term charge loss • Themionic emission • Related to both temperature and time
Applications • Differential pair • DAC • ADC
Second paper • Advance in analog VLSI circuits • Performance close to DSP • More option for designeer • Analog Digital Partition • Signal Processing Circuits • Noise Suppression for speech enhancement • Speech Recognition
Analog Digital Partitioning • Power and space • No overhead for tuning and programming • Work in subthreshold save power • SN VS Cost
Noise suppression • Main Idea: Attenuate the noise components
Speech Recognition • HMMs • States, transition probabilities and • Hidden states are words, output is audio signal produced by speaker • Recognition problem: what is the state of the system
