TODO

  • Add more temperature sensors (one in each corner)
  • Connect digital signals to LA
  • Include SAR-ADC
  • Fix pdn shorts in ADC
  • Maybe include PLL from Christof
  • Make clock and reset of config reg async
  • Use define.v in user_proj_wrapper
  • Check settings is user_defines.v, mgmt vs user
  • In tempsense, add power pins to the directly instantiated standard cells?
  • Add stand-alone VDAC (and delay-cell?) from tempsense for testing.

12b SAR-ADC

This design is a nonbinary, asynchronous (= self-clocked) 12b SAR ADC, using a segmented 9+3b capacitive DAC with a thermometer-coded 9b capacitor array with 3b binary capacitor cells.

The ADC allows oversampling and includes a programmable boxcar FIR decimation filter. OSR=1/4/16/64/256 is supported.

The internal timing can be adapted by programmable delay cells. Further, the ADC uses result averaging (configurable 1/3/7/15/31) on the LSB steps to reduce the impact of comparator thermal noise.

Synthesizable digital temperature sensor

This design is a fully-synthesizable temperature sensor using a fully-synthesizable voltage-mode DAC. This design has been submitted to the ISSCC2023 Code-a-Chip contest.

Four instances of the temperature sensor are included so that the die corner temperatures can be individually measured.

16b Delta-Sigma Audio DAC

This design is a purely digital implementation of a 1b-output delta-sigma DAC supporting a 16b data input (signed INT). It includes an asynchronous FIFO for easy interfacing with a host system.

The 1b digital output (out_p plus inverted out_n) allows the easy connection of a power H-bridge to implement a class-D audio DAC plus amplifier.

Several test modes (FIFO loop-back replay, sinusoidal tone generator) are included for testing.
