In this paper we will present a low-phase-noise wide-tuning-range oscillator suitable for scaled CMOS processes. It switches between the two resonant modes of high-order LC resonator that consists identical tanks coupled by capacitor and transformer. The mode switching method does not add lossy to thus doubles frequency tuning range without degrading phase noise performance. Moreover, leads 3 dB lower than single tank, which provides way achieving low in process. Finally, novel using...
We will introduce a design of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) based on digital delay lines. Instead voltage comparators, they convert the input into code by lines and are mainly built blocks.

Hematocrit, defined as the volume percentage of red blood cells in blood, is an important indicator human health status, which demonstrates capability to deliver oxygen. It has been studied over many decades using vivo, vitro, and silico experiments, recent studies have shown that its major feature microvascular networks temporal-spatial heterogeneity. The present work a numerical study such heterogeneity, based on direct simulations cellular-scale flow complex networks. take into account...

To maintain the quality circulating blood, splenic macrophages detect biochemical signals biophysical RBCs selectively clear them erythrophagocytosis. In sickle disease (SCD), display alterations affecting their interaction with macrophages, leading to aberrant phagocytosis that may cause life-threatening spleen sequestration crises. illuminate mechanistic control...
In this paper, we present a distributed dual-band LC oscillator suitable for low-phase-noise applications. It switches between the odd and even resonant modes of fourth-order resonator. contrast to other switched-resonator designs, used mode selection do not carry current, therefore, affect quality factor resonator, which leads low phase noise. Analysis shows it achieves same phase-noise figure-of-merit (FoM) as single-band that uses inductor active core. This was verified by prototype in...
At rates of 100Gb/s and above, CMOS DSP-based transceivers integrated with high-sampling-rate data converters are critical to realize the phase-sensitive modulation schemes based on coherent detection that essential metro long-haul networks [1].

For transmission at 100Gb/s,...
This paper presents a distributed multi-phase oscillator based on left-handed LC-ring. In contrast to traditional designs that couple multiple LC-tanks through MOSFETs, it uses an LC-ring as single high-order resonator generates resonant signal. By avoiding coupling MOSFETs which deteriorate phase noise significantly, can synthesize phases while maintaining the same phase-noise figure-of-merit (FoM) single-stage LC oscillator. also provides systematic way of trading power for noise. The...
