Tajalli, ArminLeblebici, Yusuf2009-12-022009-12-022009-12-02201010.1109/DATE.2010.5457110https://infoscience.epfl.ch/handle/20.500.14299/44584This article discusses system-level techniques to optimize the power-performance trade-off in subthreshold circuits and presents a uniform platform for implementing ultra-low power power-scalable analog and digital integrated circuits. The proposed technique is based on using subthreshold source-coupled or current-mode approach for both analog and digital circuits. In addition to possibility of operating with ultra-low power dissipation, because of similar basis for constructing analog and digital parts, a common power management unit could be used for optimizing the power-performance of the entire mixed-signal system. Some circuit examples have been provided to show the performance of the proposed circuits in practice.Source coupled logicMixed-signalAnalog integrated circuitsCMOS circuitsDigital integrated circuitsAnalog to digital converterUltra low powerfolding and interpolatingSubthresholdWeak inversionUltra-Low Power Mixed-Signal Design Platform Using Subthreshold Source-Coupled Circuitstext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
