Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) combined with a graphene charge transducer promise to provide a photoconducting platform with high quantum efficiency and large intrinsic gain, yet compatible with cost-efficient polymer substrates. The response time in these devices is limited, however, and fast switching is only possible by sacrificing the high sensitivity. Furthermore, tuning the QD size toward infrared absorption using conventional organic capping ligands progressively reduces the device performance characteristics. Here we demonstrate methods to couple large QDs (>6 nm in diameter) with organometal halide perovskites, enabling hybrid graphene phototransistor arrays on plastic foils that simultaneously exhibit a specific detectivity of 5 × 10 Jones and high video-frame-rate performance. PbI and CHNHI co-mediated ligand exchange in PbS QDs improves surface passivation and facilitates electronic transport, yielding faster charge recovery, whereas PbS QDs embedded into a CHNHPbI matrix produce spatially separated photocarriers leading to large gain.

This paper presents a clock generator for a MIPI M-PHY serial link transmitter, which includes an ADPLL, a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO), a programmable multiplier, and the actual serial driver. The paper focuses on the design of a DCO and how to enhance the frequency resolution to diminish the quantization noise introduced by the frequency discretization. A s a r e s u l t , a 1 7 -k H z D C O f r e q u e n c y t u n i n g r e s o l u t i o n i s demonstrated. Furthermore, implementation details of a lowpower programmable 1-to-2-or-4 frequency multiplier are elaborated. The design has been implemented in a 40-nm CMOS process. The measurement results verify that the circuit provides the MIPI clock data rates from 1.248 GHz to 5.83 GHz. The DCO and multiplier unit dissipates a maximum of 3.9 mW from a 1.1 V supply and covers a small die area of 0.012 mm 2 .
