Abstract:
The present invention discloses a circuit for improving process robustness of sub-threshold SRAM memory cells, which serves as an auxiliary circuit for a sub-threshold SRAM memory cell. The output of the circuit is connected to the PMOS tube of the sub-threshold SRAM memory cell and the substrate of a PMOS tube in the circuit. The circuit comprises a detection circuit for threshold voltage of PMOS tube and a differential input and single-ended output amplifier. The circuit changes the substrate voltage of the PMOS tubes in the sub-threshold SRAM memory cell and the substrate voltage of the PMOS tube in the circuit in a self-adapting manner by detecting threshold voltage fluctuations of PMOS tubes and NMOS tubes resulted from process fluctuations and thereby regulate the threshold voltages of the PMOS tubes, so that the threshold voltage of PMOS tubes matches the threshold voltage of NMOS tubes. The circuit improves the noise margin of sub-threshold SRAM memory cells and effectively improves the process robustness of sub-threshold SRAM memory cells.
Abstract:
A wide voltage trans-impedance amplifier includes a first P-channel metal oxide semiconductor (PMOS) transistor PM1, a second PMOS transistor PM2, a third PMOS transistor PM3, a fourth PMOS transistor PM4, a fifth PMOS transistor PM5, a first bias voltage VB1, a second bias voltage VB2, a third bias voltage VB3, a first N-channel metal oxide semiconductor (NMOS) transistor NM1, and a second NMOS transistor NM2. A common-gate amplifier detects a change of an input voltage, and a negative feedback is constructed by injecting a current into a current mirror to achieve a low input impedance. The trans-impedance amplifier uses a common-gate amplifier to monitor an input voltage and uses a current mirror to perform the transconductance enhancement on an input transistor, while ensuring a relatively high loop gain.
Abstract:
A high energy efficiency switched-capacitor power converter includes the transmission gates T1-T7, the capacitors C1-C4, the load capacitor CL, and resistors, PMOS tubes and NMOS tubes. The power converter converts a stable input voltage of 3V into an output voltage of 1V by means of charge transfer. In the state of timing sequence 1, the on-chip capacitor C1, the capacitor C2 and the load capacitor CL are charged in series. In the state of timing sequence 2, the capacitor C1 and the capacitor C2 are connected in parallel to the capacitor CL to supplement the charge loss due to load for the capacitor CL. When the establishment is completed, the voltages across the capacitor C1, the capacitor C2, and the capacitor CL are basically the same. At this time, the voltage drop across the switch tube approximates 0 V during the charge transfer process.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a noise current compensation circuit. The circuit is provided with two input and output terminals A and B, and two control terminals CON and CONF. The control terminals control a work mode (work state and pre-charge state) of the compensation circuit. The compensation circuit consists of 7 PMOS transistors and 8 NMOS transistors. In the normal work state, by detecting changes of potential change rate of two signal lines in an original circuit, the noise current compensation circuit automatically enables one end of the original circuit that discharges slowly to discharge a signal more slowly, and enables one end of the original circuit that discharges rapidly to discharge a signal more rapidly, thus eliminating the influence of the noise current on the circuit and providing assistance for correct identification of subsequent circuit signals. The current compensation circuit can be used for an SRAM bit line leakage current compensation circuit, because the existence of a large leakage current on the SRAM bit line leads to the decreasing of a voltage difference between two ends of the bit line, resulting in that a subsequent circuit cannot correctly identify a signal.
Abstract:
An ultra-low-power mode control circuit for a power converter includes four modules: a level shift circuit, a start circuit, a static clamp circuit, and a control circuit. When a chip is powered on and a core voltage has not been established, the control circuit firstly starts a power source built-in clock to support operation of the power converter. When the core voltage is established, the control circuit determines whether to switch to an external clock according to a level of a mode selection signal. After the core voltage is powered down, the control circuit automatically wakes up the built-in clock to work.

PM5-PM8 form a feedback circuit. The feedback circuit clamps the current flowing through PM6 to be proportional to PM2 to obtain a temperature-stable output voltage, and can dynamically adjust the gate voltage of PM5 according to the change of load current to output different currents according to the load demand.
Abstract:
A positioning method using height-constraint-based extended Kalman filter, suitable for a GNSS navigation and positioning system, comprises: obtaining an estimated state value of a current epoch by using an extended Kalman filter algorithm and according to an estimated state value of a previous epoch; constraining a positioning height of the current epoch by establishing a height constraint condition, so as to obtain an optimum estimated value of the current epoch and a corresponding mean square error, wherein the optimum estimated value satisfies the height constraint condition; further correcting the estimated state value by using a pseudorange obtained from the mean square error and a measured Doppler shift residual to obtain a final estimated state value of the current epoch, thus more accurately obtaining positioning information of a target to be positioned in the current epoch and enhancing the accuracy of GNSS navigation and positioning.
