Generation of accurate on-chip time constants and stable transconductances
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A method for generating accurately known on-chip time constants and less accurate but stable transistor transconductances over process, power-supply, and temperature variations is presented. The technique uses a constant-g/sub m/ bias circuit, which has a resistor that is tuned with a fully integrated CMOS phase-locked loop (PLL) locked to an external frequency reference (normally present in most systems). Other on-chip analog circuits biased using the same constant-g/sub m/ bias circuit are also stabilized. The PLL uses a charge-pump structure with three control loops (two digital and one analog) having overlapping ranges with hysteresis to minimize tuning glitches in the steady state. The PLL has a lock range of 135 to 300 MHz, and displays an RMS jitter of 15.6 ps. The transconductances generated from the circuit display a 2.2% variation for a 60/spl deg/C change in temperature, and a 1.3% variation for a 10% variation in power-supply voltage. The design has been fabricated in a 0.35-/spl mu/m CMOS process, using an active area of 1200/spl times/1200 /spl mu/m/sup 2/ and draws 5.8 mA from a 3.3-V supply.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
