Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Journal of Low Power Electronics and Applications (ISSN 2079-9268, https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jlpea) is an open access journal, which provides an advanced forum for the studies of electronics for low power applications. It publishes reviews, regular research papers and short communications. JLPEA’s aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.

This Special Issue of JLPEA is dedicated to selected papers from the 13th IEEE International SoC (System-on-Chip) Design Conference (ISOCC 2016) held in Jeju, Korea from 23–26 October, 2016. Extended versions of papers presented at the conference will be invited for submission to this Special Issue. A selection of the invited papers will be made based on their low-power relevance and their scientific/technical merit.

Sensors play the most important role in observing changes in an environment they are a part. They detect even the smallest changes and send the information to other electronic devices. Making sure that these sensors provide an accurate output is equally crucial, as the data it measures and collects are used for analysis. Until now, calibrating sensors has been done manually by following a sequence of procedures, and is usually performed on-site or in a laboratory prior to deployment. To eliminate the manual procedure in the calibration (at the very least), an ion-sensitive field-effect transistor (ISFET) with a built-in calibration registers circuit was created through segmented eight-bit binary search in a three-point algorithm using a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The circuit was created using a three-point calibration algorithm and three standard buffers (pH 4, pH 7, and pH 10). The block diagram, schematic diagram, and the number of logic gates were derived after synthesizing the Verilog program in Xilinx/FPGA. An average of 0.30% error was computed to prove the reliability of the created circuit using FPGA. Having an ISFET with built-in calibration registers will alleviate the work of experts in performing calibrations. This would follow the plug and play standard, hence its being a calibration-ready ISFET device. With this feature, it could be used as a pH level meter or a remote sensor node in several applications. Full article

Carrier aggregation is one of the key features to increase the data rate given a scarce bandwidth spectrum. This paper describes the design of a high performance receiver suitable for carrier aggregation in LTE-Advanced and future 5 G standards. The proposed architecture is versatile to support legacy mode (single carrier), inter-band carrier aggregation, and intra-band carrier aggregation. Performance with carrier-aggregation support is as good as legacy receivers. Contradicting requirements of high linearity and the low noise is satisfied with the single-gm receiver architecture in addition to supporting carrier aggregation. The proposed cascode-shutoff low-noise trans-conductance amplifier (LNTA) achieves 57.1 dB voltage gain, 1.76 dB NF (noise figure) , and - 6 . 7 dBm IIP3 (Third-order intercept point) with the power consumption of 21.3 mW in the intra-band carrier aggregation scenario. With legacy mode, the same receiver signal path achieves 56.6 dB voltage gain, 1.33 dB NF, and - 6 . 2 dBm IIP3 with a low power consumption of 7.4 mW. Full article
