A Wide-Range Low-Power Thyristor-Based Delay Element With Improved Temperature Sensitivity
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This brief describes an improved CMOS thyristor-based delay element (THDE) in which two current sources, digitally-controlled (DC) and voltage-controlled (VC), are implemented to demonstrate the design choice trade-offs and offer a wide range of delays. Both THDE designs show reduced temperature sensitivity while allowing an extended tuning range. Prototypes fabricated in a 0.35-$ {\mu }\text{m}$CMOS process exhibit measured delay range of 26 ns-$4.5 {\mu }\text{s}$for DC-based delay element and$16 {\mu }\text{s}$-5 ms for VC-based delay element. At their maximum delay amounts, the integrated THDEs consume 4.1 and$1.58 {\mu }\text{W}$, respectively, from a 3.3-V supply. Also, the fabricated delay cells show a temperature sensitivity of 900 and 2710 ppm/°C, respectively, when operating at maximum delay.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
