An all digital phase-locked loop (ADPLL) has been implemented in a 90-nm CMOS process. It uses a phase-frequency detector
(PFD) connected to two time-to-digital converters (TDC). To save power the TDCs use delay line cells with uneven delay time.
During frequency acquisition an automatic tuning bank controller selects active bank of the digitally controlled oscillator
(DCO), which features three separate tuning banks for both high resolution and wide frequency tuning range. To further increase
the resolution a high-speed delta-sigma modulator is also used, modulating the DCO fine tuning word. The PLL achieves a measured
phase noise of −125 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset from a divided-by-2 carrier frequency of 2.58 GHz. The core area is 0.33 mm2 and the current consumption is 30 mA from a 1.2 V supply. 相似文献

A 12 GHz PLL with digital output phase control has been implemented in a 90 nm CMOS process. It is intended for LO signal
generation in integrated phased array transceivers. Locally placed PLLs eliminate the need of long high frequency LO routing
to each transceiver in a phased array circuit. Routing losses are thereby reduced and the design of integrated phased array
transceivers becomes more modular. A chip was manufactured, featuring two separate fully integrated PLLs operating at 12 GHz,
with a common 1.5 GHz reference. The chip, including pads, measures 1050 × 700 μm2. Each PLL consumes 15 mA from a 1.2 V supply, with a typical measured phase noise of −110 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset. The phase
control range exceeds 360°. 相似文献

The design of a wideband low-power continuous-time (CT) sigma-delta modulator (ΣΔM) is presented. At system level, an improved
direct design method is used which allows direct design of the modulator in continuous-time domain. The modulator employs
a low-latency flash quantizer to minimize excess loop delay. Digital-to-analog (DAC) trimming technique is used to correct
the quantizer offset error, which permits minimum-sized transistors to be used for fast and low-power operation. The modulator
is designed in 90 nm CMOS process with single 1.0-V power supply. It achieves a dynamic range (DR) of 75 dB and a signal-to-noise-and-distortion-ratio
(SNDR) of 70 dB in a 25 MHz signal bandwidth with 16.4 mW power dissipation. 相似文献

This work presents the design and the measured performance of a 8 Gb/s transimpedance amplifier (TIA) fabricated in a 90 nm CMOS technology. The introduced TIA uses an inverter input stage followed by two common-source stages with a 1.5 kΩ feedback resistor. The TIA is followed by a single-ended to differential converter stage, a differential amplifier and a 50 Ω differential output driver to provide an interface to the measurement setup. The optical receiver shows a measured optical sensitivity of ?18.3 dBm for a bit error rate = 10?9. A gain control circuitry is integrated with the TIA to increase its input photo-current dynamic range (DR) to 32 dB. The TIA has an input photo-current range from 12 to 500 μA without overloading. The stability is guaranteed over the whole DR. The optical receiver achieves a transimpedance gain of 72 dBΩ and 6 GHz bandwidth with 0.3 pF total input capacitance for the photodiode and input PAD. The TIA occupies 0.0036 mm2 whereas the complete optical receiver occupies a chip area of 0.46 mm2. The power consumption of the TIA is only 12 mW from a 1.2 V single supply voltage. The complete chip dissipates 60 mW where a 1.6 V supply is used for the output stages. 相似文献

This paper introduces an adaptive semiblind background calibration of timing mismatches in a two-channel time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter (TIADC). By injecting a test tone at the frequency of half the overall sampling frequency of TIADC, the timing mismatch between two sub-ADCs can be quickly estimated with great accuracy without affecting the normal operation of the TIADC. The estimated coefficient can then be used in compensation module formed by a fixed structure to calibrate the timing mismatches. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed estimation and correction technique. 相似文献

In this paper, we present the design and experimental evaluation of 1 V analog front-end amplifiers designed in 90 nm CMOS
technology for capacitive micro-machined ultrasound transducers (CMUTs) for medical ultrasound imaging systems. We propose
two front-end amplifier topologies based on an inverter-based cascode amplifier; the first is a continuous time amplifier
and the second is a charge sampling amplifier (CSA). The proposed front-end amplifiers are designed to amplify the signals
from CMUTs in the frequency bandwidth from 15 to 45 MHz with a centre frequency of 30 MHz. From the measurements, the continuous
time single-ended transimpedance amplifier achieves a voltage gain of 19 dB, an output noise power spectral density of 0.042 (μV)/SQRT(Hz) at a centre-frequency of 30 MHz, and a total harmonic distortion of −23 dB at 450 mV p–p output voltage at 30 MHz
input signal frequency. It draws only 598 μA per amplifier from a 1 V power supply. Its area measured only about 32 μm × 32 μm
per amplifier. On the other hand, a sampling based front-end amplifier [CSA] achieves a transfer gain of 17.4 dB at an input
signal frequency of 30 MHz and an upper 3 dB cut-off frequency of 46 MHz at a sampling clock frequency of 100 MHz. It consumes
586 μA per amplifier from a 1 V power supply and achieves a signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio of 45.7 dB with a peak-to-peak output
signal amplitude of 500 mV at a sampling frequency of 100 MHz. It occupies an area of 1470.2 μm2 (which is equivalent to 38 μm × 38 μm), which also includes the area of the switches for the CSA that will be used for the
single CMUT element. 相似文献

A novel mm-wave phase modulating transmit architecture, capable of achieving data rates as high as 10 Gb/s is presented at 120 GHz. The circuit operates at a frequency of 120 GHz. The modulator consists of a differential branchline coupler and a high speed 4-to-1 analog multiplexer with direct digital input. Both a QPSK as well as a 8QAM constellation are supported. To achieve high output power, a 9-stage power amplifier is designed and connected to the multiplexer output. The complete chip is integrated in a 65 nm low power CMOS technology. Capacitive neutralization is used to achieve high gain and good stability for the MOS devices. Also, various differential transmission line topologies are investigated to achieve high performance in terms of loss and area consumption. 相似文献

This paper presents a 75–90 GHz down-conversion mixer applied in automotive radar, which is characterized with high linearity, low local oscillator (LO) drive as well as high conversion gain (CG) using TSMC 65-nm CMOS general-purpose technology. The good linearity and isolation of mixer are required for automotive radar to cover short-middle-far range detection. The mixer includes an enhanced double-balanced Gilbert-cell core with series peaking transmission line and source degeneration technique for improving linearity and CG, two on-chip baluns and intermediate frequency (IF) buffer for IF test. Besides, to make the design more accurate and efficient, the modeling and design of millimeter-wave (mm-wave) passive devices are introduced. The mixer consumes 12 mW under 1.5 V. The input 1 dB compression point (P1dB) is 2.5 dBm as well as IIP3 of 13.2 dBm at 80 GHz. High performances are achieved with the CG of 5 dB at 76 GHz with LO power of 0 dBm for frequencies of 75–90 GHz which covers the application of automotive radar frequency band (76–81 GHz) and LO-RF isolation of 33–37 dB for frequencies of 60–90 GHz. The area of the mixer is 0.14 mm2, with PADs included. 相似文献

High-fidelity recording of neural signals requires varying levels of signal gain to capture low-amplitude single-unit activity
in the presence of high-amplitude population activity. A floating-point approach has been used to widen the dynamic range
of analog-to-digital converters (ADC) designed for this application. In this paper we present an ADC, designed for multi-channel,
portable neural signal recording systems. To achieve low power consumption, small die area and wide dynamic range, an ADC
based on a time-based algorithm, combined with a floating-point pipelined structure has been designed and simulated. A conventional
variable-gain amplifier (VGA) stage has been eliminated in favor of a reference-current in a time-based ADC architecture.
The 12-b pipelined time-based floating-point ADC has been designed with a 7-b mantissa and an exponent that provides an additional
5 bits of dynamic range. The mantissa is determined by a uniform 7-b pipelined time-based analog to digital converter. The
ADC chip was designed and simulated in a 90 nm CMOS process, which occupies an active area of 360 μm × 550 μm, and consumes
7.8 μW at 1.2 V in full-scale conversion. 相似文献

In this paper, an ultra-low-power successive approximation register analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for energy limited applications is presented. The ADC resolution is enhanced by using a noise-shaping technique which does not need any integrator and only uses a finite impulse response (FIR) filter. To provide a first-order noise-shaping, the quantization error is firstly extracted by using the digital-to-analog converter (DAC) dummy capacitor and it is then employed in the error feedback scheme. The proposed structure employs a low-gain and low-swing operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) to realize the FIR filter which operates only at the sampling phase. To minimize the power consumption of the ADC analog part, the OTA is powered off during the conversion phase. The proposed ADC is designed and simulated in a 90 nm CMOS technology using Spectre with a 0.5 V single power supply. The simulated ADC uses a fully-differential 8-bit charge redistribution DAC with an oversampling ratio of 8 and achieves 10.7-bit accuracy. The simulated average power consumption is 4.53 μW and the achieved maximum SNDR and SFDR are 66.1 and 73.1 dB, respectively, resulting in a figure of merit of 27.6 fJ/conversion-step. 相似文献

This paper presents a low-power imaging diversity front-end receiver employing the maximum-ratio-combining algorithm for free-space
optical communication. It consists of seven signal channels and an output stage, each channel has a front-end transimpedance
amplifier, a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) estimator and a variable gain amplifier (VGA). The imaging receiver circuit was implemented
in a 90 nm CMOS process. The maximum-ratio weighting is achieved with the SNR estimator and variable gain amplifier (VGA),
which provides the signal with a gain proportional to the signal amplitude. The maximum ratio combining feature was demonstrated
with two channels driven by photodiode emulation circuits for electrical characterization. The power dissipation for the whole
chip is 43 mW from a single 1.2 V supply. 相似文献

In the past few years, the mm-wave silicon, especially 60 GHz CMOS design has experienced a transition from an obscure topic to a research hot spot. This paper presents the design of a 60 GHz receiver front-end using 65 nm CMOS technology. Initially, a heterodyne receiver front-end architecture is presented to exploit its possible compatibility with legacy systems. In order to implement the front-end, an EM simulation based methodology and the corresponding design flow are proposed. A transistor EM model, using existing compact models as core, is developed to account for the parasitic elements due to wiring stacks. A spiral inductor lumped model, based on S-parameter data from EM simulation is also derived. After the device modeling efforts, a single-stage LNA and a single-gate mixer are designed using 65 nm CMOS technology. They are characterized by EM co-simulation, and compared with the state-of-the-art. After integration, the simulated front-end achieves a conversion gain of 11.9 dB and an overall SSB noise figure of 8.2 dB, with an input return loss of −13.7 dB. It consumes 6.1 mW DC power, and its layout occupies a die area of 0.33 mm × 0.44 mm. 相似文献

Design and performance of a robust 180 nm CMOS standalone VCO and the integrated PLL 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

The design details of a low power/wide tuning range phase locked loop (PLL) is presented in 180 nm CMOS together with the
simulated and post fabrication measured performance. The PLL has been specifically designed for applications requiring a wide
tuning range (1.55–2.28 GHz) while maintaining low power consumption (18 mW) and good phase noise (−100.9 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz).
The tuning range represents significant improvement over other reported PLL CMOS implementations. To illustrate the robustness
of the architecture, a 90 nm CMOS design is included with a 5.8–9.45 GHz tuning range (48%), phase noise of −111.7 dBc/Hz,
and power consumption of 18.6 mW. The stand alone voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) and the PLL were fabricated on a single
180 nm die providing a unique opportunity to analyze and measure both the stand alone VCO phase noise performance and the
integrated PLL phase noise performance. The contributions to the PLL phase noise (phase detector, charge pump, VCO, divider,
and reference source) are delineated and both the theoretical and measured PLL phase noise performance is discussed. Design
tradeoffs are included such as effect of loop bandwidth on phase noise contributions. 相似文献

In this paper, we propose a low-power all digital phase-locked loop with a wide input range, and a high resolution TDC that
uses phase-interpolator and a time amplifier. The resolution of the proposed TDC is improved by using a phase-interpolator
which divides the inverter delay time and the time amplifier which extends the time difference between the reference frequency
and the DCO clock. The phase noise of the proposed ADPLL is improved by using a fine resolution DCO with an active inductor.
In order to control the frequency of the DCO, the transconductance of the active inductor is tuned digitally. To cover the
wide tuning range and to operate at a low-power, a three-step coarse tuning scheme is used. In addition, the DCO gain needs
to be calibrated digitally in order to compensate for gain variations. The die area of the ADPLL is 0.8 mm2 using 0.13 μm CMOS technology. The frequency resolution of the TDC is 1 ps. The DCO tuning range is 58% at 2.4 GHz and the
effective DCO frequency resolution is 0.14 kHz. The phase noise of the ADPLL output at 2.4 GHz is −120.5 dBc/Hz with a 1 MHz
offset. The total power consumption of the ADPLL is 12 mW from a 1.2 V supply voltage. 相似文献

Design challenges of a 65 nm CMOS stacked folded differential PA structure for mobile communications

In this paper, a novel phase-locked loop (PLL) architecture with multiple charge pumps, which is used to design a fast-locking
PLL and a low-phase-noise PLL, is proposed. The effective capacitance and resistance of the loop filter in terms of voltage
is scaled up/down according to the locking status by controlling the magnitude and direction of the charge pump current. Two
PLLs, one with a fast-locking characteristic and the other with a low-phase-noise characteristic, are designed and fabricated
in a 0.35-μm CMOS process based on the proposed architecture. The fast-locking PLL has a locking time of less than 6 μs and
a phase noise of −90.45 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset. The low-phase-noise PLL has a locking time of 25 μs, a phase noise of −105.37 dBc/Hz
at 1 MHz offset, and a reference spur of −50 dBc. Both PLLs have an 851.2 MHz output frequency. 相似文献

A surface acoustic wave-less receiver front-end for GSM, TD-LTE and TD-SCDMA standards featuring a novel low noise amplifier (LNA) architecture and harmonic rejection technique is presented. The two-stage LNA uses capacitive feedback in the first stage for wideband input matching. It can operate from 500 MHz up to 2.5 GHz with an S11 below ?15 dB. The harmonic rejection mixer structure operates using two- and four-phase local oscillator signals and is capable of achieving a high harmonic rejection over a wide channel bandwidth. The average harmonic rejection is above 60 dB measured over a 20 MHz LTE channel and above 70 dB over a GSM channel. The mixer structure contains digitally tunable resistor and capacitor banks for precise tuning, causing the peak harmonic rejection in the channel to exceed 80 dB. The precise tuning capability ensures good harmonic rejection in the presence of process mismatch and duty cycle mismatch. The 1-dB received signal compression point with a blocker present at 20/80 MHz offset for low-/high-band is 0 and +2 dBm, respectively. In-band IIP3, and IIP2 are ?14.8 and >49 dBm, respectively, for low-band. For high-band they are ?18.2 and >44 dBm. Implemented in 65 nm CMOS, the complete front-end consumes 80 mW of power. 相似文献
