Imec, Holst Centre and ROHM Present Breakthrough Solution for Ultra Low Power Internet of Things radios

February 13, 2017

San Francisco (US) — Feb.8, 2017— At the 2017 International Solid-State Circuits Conference in San Francisco (US), imec, the world-leading research and innovation hub in nanoelectronics and digital technologies, Holst Centre (set up by imec and TNO) and ROHM today presented an all-digital phase-locked loop (ADPLL) for Internet-of-Things (IoT) radio transceivers. Whereas a PLL is traditionally one of the major power consumers in a radio and can take up to 30% of the radio area, this new ADPLL features a small area (0.18mm² in 40nm CMOS), low power consumption (0.67mW) and excellent performance. With all spurs lower than -56dBc and jitter … Read More → "Imec, Holst Centre and ROHM Present Breakthrough Solution for Ultra Low Power Internet of Things radios"
