EMI Effects in CMOS Time-Mode Circuits

This paper presents the effects of a noisy electromagnetic environment in the Time-Mode Signal Processing (TMSP). The basic building block of all the TMSP circuits is designed in a standard 180nm CMOS technology and it is exposed to the electromegnetic interferences (EMI), picked up from the I/O pins and the power supply rails. It is found that the TMSP circuits are suscpetible to the interferences which can cause timing jitter and non linearity.
