[13]. Another advantageous feature
is the minimization of the switches'
on-resistance value and excursion
for energy efficient and high speed
switched-capacitors circuits (e.g.,
analog-to-digital conver ters), as in
[14] and [5].
For the first method, on-chip
body bias generators have to be
carefully considered for integration in terms of power consumption,
ripple, and noise on the generated
control voltages. They may have a
constant over time operation or duty
cycled, depending on the system
operation. And finally, they can address smaller or larger islands of
transistors to be tuned or controlled. This consists of a new category
of embedded power management
blocks. For the second method, the
fixed positive BB voltage can come
from a supply (1 or 1.8 V), and the
negative one can be easily generated by a simple charge-pump voltage generator.
A short overview of planar UTBB FD-SOI
technologies has been presented, focusing on
analog, RF, mmW, and mixed signal designs.
Example of Body Bias Fully Enabled
RF-Mixed Signal ULV SoC in
28-nm FD-SOI
The design of an Impulse RadioUltra Wide Band (IR-UWB) Binary
Phase-Shift Keying (BPSK) and Bi nary Position Modulation (BPM) RF
transmitter operated at 0.55 V, IEEE
802.15.4a compliant, is an excellent example of a ULV RF-mixedsignal SoC implementation in 28-nm
FD-SOI [9]. This chip serves three
emission channels from a single
reconfigurable signal path (3.5, 4.0,
and 4.5 GHz, respectively) and has
configurable data rates of 0.11, 0.85,
1.7, 6.81, and 27.24 Mb/s, respectively. The RF and mixed-signal SoC
features the digital and RF transmit
path and the frequency synthetizer
but also the DC-DC converter (1.2
to 0.55 V) and the body bias generator (up to ±1.8 V, for variable output voltage).
This design takes full advantage
of FD-SOI body biasing techniques
for tuning, trimming, and loop control, and this is done at the circuit
and system levels in very elegant
ways (Figure 14). First of all, an extremely low power phase-locked
loop-free architecture with aggressive duty cycling is proposed, compensated by on-chip adaptive FBB
for local oscillator tuning and trimming upon the requested transmit frequency. The Digital Power
