A 60 GHz QDCO with 11 GHz Seamless Tuning for Low-Power FMCW Radars in 22-nm FDSOI

Christian Enz, Francesco Chicco, Sammy Cerida Rengifo

This paper presents the design of a 60GHz Quadrature Digitally-Controlled Oscillator for a low-power Frequency-Modulated Continuous Wave radar System-on-Chip. The accurate detection of vital signs requires 1 and Q demodulation of the received signal. The q ...

TID Degradation Mechanisms in 16-nm Bulk FinFETs Irradiated to Ultrahigh Doses

Christian Enz

This article investigates the total ionizing dose (TID) degradation mechanisms of 16-nm bulk Si FinFETs at ultrahigh doses. n- and p-FinFETs with several channel lengths are irradiated up to 1 Grad(SiO2) and then annealed for 24 h at 100 degrees C. Irradia ...

An Optimized Low-Power Band-Tuning TX for Short-Range FMCW Radar in 22-nm FDSOI CMOS

Christian Enz, Francesco Chicco, Sammy Cerida Rengifo

The paper presents a low-power transmitter (TX) as a part of a fully integrated 57-66 GHz FMCW radar system. The TX path includes a BPSK modulator and it is optimized for short-range operation with 0 dBm output power. A band-tuning technique is used for co ...

A 49 mu W 6th-Order Chebyshev SSF-based Low-Pass Analog Filter for IEEE 802.11ax

Christian Enz, Alessandro Pezzotta, Daniel Mathias Bold, Salvatore Collura

In this paper a continuous-time low-pass analog filter based on the Cascoded Super Source Follower (C-SSF) architecture, implemented in a 28-nm bulk CMOS process, is presented. The target application is the transceiver analog baseband for the next-generati ...

Experimental Verification of the Impact of Analog CMS on CIS Readout Noise

Christian Enz, Assim Boukhayma, Raffaele Capoccia

In this article, the impact of the combination of the column-level gain and the correlated multiple sampling (CMS) on the noise of CMOS image sensor (CIS) readout chains is first analyzed. The theory is then validated experimentally with CIS readout chains ...

Time-of-flight device and 3d optical detector

Christian Enz, Assim Boukhayma, Antonino Caizzone

A Time-of-flight optical device and a 3D optical detector comprising a CMOS integrated circuit with an array of photosensitive pixels that are, at least in part, interconnected to form macro-pixels (180). Each macro-pixel (180) groups a plurality of indivi ...
