“…Architectural and circuit-level innovations in wireless transceiver SoCs (System-on-a-Chips) have been continuing toward the realization of multiband and multimode communications systems [1]. For such SoCs, implementation of calibration methods for RF/analog circuits becomes mandatory to overcome their performance degradation caused by process, voltage and temperature variations [2].…”

Abstract:We propose a 32-bit 16-program-cycle nonvolatile memory fabricated in a standard 0.18 µm CMOS technology based on a channel hot-electron trapping at the transistor gate sidewall. Its target application is calibration of RF/analog circuits for multiband/multimode communication systems, that demands in-field multiple-time programmability and data select-ability. The issue of the one-time programmability in the proposed memory cell is overcome by the addressing memory cell array, and the promised reliability is observed through the optimization of program and restore operations. The developed nonvolatile memory is applied to a dual-band PLL synthesizer with an area overhead of 8.5%.
