Abstract
Measurements of a sub-threshold (sub-VT) decimation
filter, composed of four half band digital (HBD) filters in
65 nm CMOS are presented. Different unfolded architectures are
analyzed and implemented to combat speed degradation. The
architectures are analyzed for throughput and energy efficiency
over several threshold options. Reliability in the sub-VT domain
is analyzed by Monte-Carlo simulations. The simulation results
are validated by measurements and demonstrate that low-power
standard threshold logic (LP-SVT) and different architectural
flavors are suitable for a low-power implementation. Silicon
measurements prove functionality down to 350mV supply, with
a maximum clock frequency of 500 kHz, having an energy
dissipation of 102 fJ/cycle.
