This book was released on 2022-09-01 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing demand in electronic portability imposes low power consumption as a key metric to analog and digital circuit design. Tunnel FET (TFET) devices have been explored mostly in digital circuits, showing promising results for ultra-low power and energy efficient circuit applications. The TFET presents a low inverse sub-threshold slope (SS) that allows a low leakage energy consumption, desirable in many digital circuits, especially memories.In this book, the TFET is explored as an alternative technology also for ultra-low power and voltage conversion and management circuits, suitable for weak energy harvesting (EH) sources. The TFET distinct electrical characteristics under reverse bias conditions require changes in conventional circuit topologies. In this book, ultra-low input power conversion circuits based on TFETs are designed and analyzed, evaluating their performance as rectifiers, charge pumps and power management circuits (PMC) for RF and DC EH sources.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been a tremendous evolution in integrated circuit technology in the past decades. With the scaling of complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) transistors, faster, less power consuming and more complex chips per unit area have made possible electronic gadgets to evolve to what we see today. The increasing demand in electronic portability imposes low power consumption as a key metric to analog and digital circuit design. While dynamic power consumption decreases quadratically with the decrease of power supply voltage, leakage power presents a limitation due to the inverse sub-threshold slope (SS). A power supply reduction implies a consequent threshold voltage reduction that, given the fixed SS, cause an exponential increase in leakage current. This poses a limitation in the reduction of power consumption that is inherent to the conventional thermionicbased transistors (MOSFETS and FinFETs). In thermionic-based transistors the SS at room temperature is limited to 60 mV/dec. To circumvent the SS limitation of conventional transistors, devices with different carrier injection mechanisms independent of the thermal (Boltzmann) distribution of mobile charge carriers are required. The Tunnel Field-Effect Transistor (TFET) is presented as the most promising post CMOS-technology due to its non-thermal carrier injection mechanism based on Band-To-Band Tunneling (BTBT) effect. TFETs are known as steep slope devices (SS 60 mV/dec at room temperature). Large current gain (ION/IOFF 105) at low voltage operation (sub-0.25 V) and extremely low leakage current have already been demonstrated, placing TFETs as serious candidates for ultra-low power and energy efficient circuit applications. TFETs have been explored mostly in digital circuits and applications. In this thesis, the use of TFETs is explored as an alternative technology also for ultra-low power and voltage conversion and management circuits, suited for weak energy harvesting (EH) sources. As TFETs are designed as reverse biased p-i-n diodes (different doping types in source/drain regions), the particular electrical characteristics under reverse bias conditions require changes in conventional circuit topologies. Rectifiers, charge pumps and power management circuits (PMC) are designed and analyzed with TFETs, evaluating their performance with the proposal of new topologies that extend the voltage/power range of operation compared to current technologies and circuit topologies. TFET-based PMCs for RF and DC EH sources are proposed and limitations (with solutions) of using TFETs in conventional inductor-based boost converters identified.
