A completely integrated 4:1 multiplexer for high-speed operation and low power consumption is presented. The circuit uses a new architecture where four data streams are multiplexed in one stage. Pulses with a duty cycle of 25% switch the inputs to the multiplexer (MUX) output. The pulses are generated from the clock signal and the divided clock signal. Measurement results show the performance of the IQ divider. Current-mode logic is used because of the higher speed compared to static CMOS and the robustness against common-mode disturbances. The multiplexer uses no output buffer and directly drives the 50-/spl Omega/ environment. The lower number of gates compared to the conventional tree topology enables low-power design. Relaxed timing conditions are additional benefits of the one-stage MUX topology. The IC is fabricated in a 0.13-/spl mu/m standard bulk CMOS technology and uses 1.5-V supply voltage. The MUX works up to 30 Gb/s and consumes 70 mW. 相似文献

This paper describes the results of an implementation of a Bluetooth radio in a 0.18-/spl mu/m CMOS process. A low-IF image-reject conversion architecture is used for the receiver. The transmitter uses direct IQ-upconversion. The VCO runs at 4.8-5.0 GHz, thus facilitating the generation of 0/spl deg/ and 90/spl deg/ signals for both the receiver and transmitter. By using an inductor-less LNA and the extensive use of mismatch simulations, the smallest silicon area for a Bluetooth radio implementation so far can be reached: 5.5 mm/sup 2/. The transceiver consumes 30 mA in receive mode and 35 mA in transmit mode from a 2.5 to 3.0-V power supply. As the radio operates on the same die as baseband and SW, the crosstalk-on-silicon is an important issue. This crosstalk problem was taken into consideration from the start of the project. Sensitivity was measured at -82 dBm. 相似文献

A fully integrated 2:1 multiplexer IC which operates at up to 50 Gbit/s data rate is presented. The MUX uses inductive shunt peaking and an output series inductor for higher bandwidth. The MUX directly drives the 50 /spl Omega/ load. The IC is fabricated in a 0.13 /spl mu/m bulk CMOS technology and draws 65 mA at 1.5 V supply voltage. The output voltage swing is 2/spl times/100 mV. 相似文献

The paper describes a bioluminescence detection lab-on-chip consisting of a fiber-optic faceplate with immobilized luminescent reporters/probes that is directly coupled to an optical detection and processing CMOS system-on-chip (SoC) fabricated in a 0.18-/spl mu/m process. The lab-on-chip is customized for such applications as determining gene expression using reporter gene assays, determining intracellular ATP, and sequencing DNA. The CMOS detection SoC integrates an 8 /spl times/ 16 pixel array having the same pitch as the assay site array, a 128-channel 13-bit ADC, and column-level DSP, and is fabricated in a 0.18-/spl mu/m image sensor process. The chip is capable of detecting emission rates below 10/sup -6/ lux over 30 s of integration time at room temperature. In addition to directly coupling and matching the assay site array to the photodetector array, this low light detection is achieved by a number of techniques, including the use of very low dark current photodetectors, low-noise differential circuits, high-resolution analog-to-digital conversion, background subtraction, correlated multiple sampling, and multiple digitizations and averaging to reduce read noise. Electrical and optical characterization results as well as preliminary biological testing results are reported. 相似文献

This paper describes a high-speed CMOS adaptive cable equalizer using an enhanced low-frequency gain control method. The additional low-frequency gain control loop enables the use of an open-loop equalizing filter, which alleviates the speed bottleneck of the conventional adaptation method. In addition, combined adaptation of low-frequency gain and high-frequency boosting improves the adaptation accuracy while supporting high-frequency operation. The open-loop equalizing filter incorporates a merged-path topology and offers infinite input impedance, which are suitable for higher frequency operation and cascaded design. This equalizing filter controls its common-mode output voltage level in a feedforward manner, thereby improving bandwidth. A prototype chip was fabricated in 0.18-/spl mu/m four-metal mixed-mode CMOS technology. The realized active area is 0.48/spl times/0.73 mm/sup 2/. The prototype adaptive equalizer operates up to 3.5 Gb/s over a 15-m RG-58 coaxial cable with 1.8-V supply and dissipates 80 mW. Moreover, the equalizing filter in manual adjustment mode operates up to 5 Gb/s over a 15-m RG-58 coaxial cable. 相似文献

Scaling of CMOS technologies has a great impact on analog design. The most severe consequence is the reduction of the voltage supply. In this paper, a low voltage, low power, AC-coupled folded-switching mixer with current-reuse is presented. The main advantages of the introduced mixer topology are: high voltage gain, moderate noise figure, moderate linearity, and operation at low supply voltages. Insight into the mixer operation is given by analyzing voltage gain, noise figure (NF), linearity (IIP3), and DC stability. The mixer is designed and implemented in 0.18-/spl mu/m CMOS technology with metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitors as an option. The active chip area is 160 /spl mu/m/spl times/200 /spl mu/m. At 2.4 GHz a single side band (SSB) noise figure of 13.9 dB, a voltage gain of 11.9 dB and an IIP3 of -3 dBm are measured at a supply voltage of 1 V and with a power consumption of only 3.2 mW. At a supply voltage of 1.8 V, an SSB noise figure of 12.9 dB, a voltage gain of 16 dB and an IIP3 of 1 dBm are measured at a power consumption of 8.1 mW. 相似文献

Fully differential 8-to-1 current-mode multiplexer for 10 Gbit/s serial links in 0.18 /spl mu/m CMOS
A new fully differential CMOS current-mode multiplexer where a high multiplexing speed is achieved by performing multiplexing at low-impedance node, and inductive shunt peaking with active inductors is presented. The differential configuration of the multiplexer not only minimises the effect of common-mode disturbances, particularly those coupled from the power and ground rails, but more importantly, the flow of the out currents in the opposite directions minimises the effect of electro-magnetic interference from channels, making the multiplexer particularly attractive for high-speed data transmission over long interconnects and printed circuit board (PCB) traces. The proposed multiplexer also ensures that total current drawn from the supply voltage is constant, thereby minimising the amount of noise injected to the substrate. The multiplexer has been implemented in TSMC's 1.8 V 0.18 /spl mu/m CMOS technology and analysed using Spectre from Cadence Design Systems with BSIM3.3 v device models. Simulation results demonstrate that the multiplexer offers sufficiently large eye opening when multiplexing at 10 Gbit/s. 相似文献

A downconversion double-balanced oscillator mixer using 0.18-/spl mu/m CMOS technology is proposed in this paper. This oscillator mixer consists of an individual mixer stacked on a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). The stacked structure allows entire mixer current to be reused by the VCO cross-coupled pair to reduce the total current consumption of the individual VCO and mixer. Using individual supply voltages and eliminating the tail current source, the stacked topology requires 1.0-V low supply voltage. The oscillator mixer achieves a voltage conversion gain of 10.9 dB at 4.2-GHz RF frequency. The oscillator mixer exhibits a tuning range of 11.5% and a single-sideband noise figure of 14.5 dB. The dc power consumption is 0.2 mW for the mixer and 2.94 mW for the VCO. This oscillator mixer requires a lower supply voltage and achieves a higher operating frequency among recently reported Si-based self-oscillating mixers and mixer oscillators. The mixer in this oscillator mixer also achieves a low power consumption compared with recently reported low-power mixers. 相似文献

An analysis of regenerative dividers predicts the required phase shift or selectivity for proper operation. A divider topology is introduced that employs resonance techniques by means of on-chip spiral inductors to tune out the device capacitances. Configured as two cascaded /spl divide/2 stages, the circuit achieves a frequency range of 2.3 GHz at 40 GHz while consuming 31 mW from a 2.5-V supply. 相似文献

This paper presents the design of three- and nine-stage voltage-controlled ring oscillators that were fabricated in TSMC 0.18-/spl mu/m CMOS technology with oscillation frequencies up to 5.9 GHz. The circuits use a multiple-pass loop architecture and delay stages with cross-coupled FETs to aid in the switching speed and to improve the noise parameters. Measurements show that the oscillators have linear frequency-voltage characteristics over a wide tuning range, with the three- and nine-stage rings resulting in frequency ranges of 5.16-5.93 GHz and 1.1-1.86 GHz, respectively. The measured phase noise of the nine-stage ring oscillator was -105.5 dBc/Hz at a 1-MHz offset from a 1.81-GHz center frequency, whereas the value for the three-stage ring oscillator was simulated to be -99.5 dBc/Hz at a 1-MHz offset from a 5.79-GHz center frequency. 相似文献

Presented in this paper is a pipelined 285-MHz maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) decoder IC. The 8.7-mm/sup 2/ IC is implemented in a 1.8-V 0.18-/spl mu/m CMOS technology and consumes 330 mW at maximum frequency. The MAP decoder chip features a block-interleaved pipelined architecture, which enables the pipelining of the add-compare-select kernels. Measured results indicate that a turbo decoder based on the presented MAP decoder core can achieve: 1) a decoding throughput of 27.6 Mb/s with an energy-efficiency of 2.36 nJ/b/iter; 2) the highest clock frequency compared to existing 0.18-/spl mu/m designs with the smallest area; and 3) comparable throughput with an area reduction of 3-4.3/spl times/ with reference to a look-ahead based high-speed design (Radix-4 design), and a parallel architecture. 相似文献

This paper presents a hardware implementation of a sound localization algorithm that localizes a single sound source by using the information gathered by two separated microphones. This is achieved through estimating the time delay of arrival (TDOA) of sound at the two microphones. We have used a TDOA algorithm known as the "phase transform" to minimize the effects of reverberations and noise from the environment. Simplifications to the chosen TDOA algorithm were made in order to replace complex operations, such as the cosine function, with less expensive ones, such as iterative additions. The custom digital signal processor implementing this algorithm was designed in a 0.18-/spl mu/m CMOS process and tested successfully. The test chip is capable of localizing the direction of a sound source within 2.2/spl deg/ of accuracy, utilizing approximately 30 mW of power and 6.25 mm/sup 2/ of silicon area. 相似文献

This letter presents a fully integrated distributed amplifier in a standard 0.18-/spl mu/m CMOS technology. By employing a nonuniform architecture for the synthetic transmission lines, the proposed distributed amplifier exhibits enhanced performance in terms of gain and bandwidth. Drawing a dc current of 45mA from a 2.2-V supply voltage, the fabricated circuit exhibits 9.5-dB pass-band gain with a bandwidth of 32GHz while maintaining good input and output return losses over the entire frequency band. With a compact layout technique, the chip size of the distributed amplifier including the testing pads is 940/spl times/860/spl mu/m/sup 2/. 相似文献

A two-stage self-biased cascode power amplifier in 0.18-/spl mu/m CMOS process for Class-1 Bluetooth application is presented. The power amplifier provides 23-dBm output power with a power-added efficiency (PAE) of 42% at 2.4 GHz. It has a small signal gain of 38 dB and a large signal gain of 31 dB at saturation. This is the highest gain reported for a two-stage design in CMOS at the 0.8-2.4-GHz frequency range. A novel self-biasing and bootstrapping technique is presented that relaxes the restriction due to hot carrier degradation in power amplifiers and alleviates the need to use thick-oxide transistors that have poor RF performance compared with the standard transistors available in the same process. The power amplifier shows no performance degradation after ten days of continuous operation under maximum output power at 2.4-V supply. It is demonstrated that a sliding bias technique can be used to both significantly improve the PAE at mid-power range and linearize the power amplifier. By using the sliding bias technique, the PAE at 16 dBm is increased from 6% to 19%, and the gain variation over the entire power range is reduced from 7 to 0.6 dB. 相似文献

A low-power fully integrated synthesizer for Bluetooth applications is presented. The circuit with quadrature output signals at 2.45 GHz and 15-mW power dissipation has been designed in a digital 0.18-/spl mu/m CMOS process with 1.8-V supply voltage. The only external component is a 64-MHz crystal. Measurements have been performed on packaged samples mounted on an FR-4 board and show that the Bluetooth requirements are met. The measured phase noise is below -120 dBc/Hz at 3-MHz offset, and the resulting residual frequency modulation is 7.4-kHz rms. The tuning range consists of an analog and digital tuning mechanism, resulting in more than 15% overall tuning range. 相似文献

A fully integrated system-on-a-chip (SOC) intended for use in 802.11b applications is built in 0.18-/spl mu/m CMOS. All of the radio building blocks including the power amplifier (PA), the phase-locked loop (PLL) filter, and the antenna switch, as well as the complete baseband physical layer and the medium access control (MAC) sections, have been integrated into a single chip. The radio tuned to 2.4 GHz dissipates 165 mW in the receive mode and 360 mW in the transmit mode from a 1.8-V supply. The receiver achieves a typical noise figure of 6 dB and -88-dBm sensitivity at 11 Mb/s rate. The transmitter delivers a nominal output power of 13 dBm at the antenna. The transmitter 1-dB compression point is 18 dBm and has over 20 dB of gain range. 相似文献

A high-speed optical interface circuit for 850-nm optical communication is presented. Photodetector, transimpedance amplifier (TIA), and post-amplifier are integrated in a standard 0.18-/spl mu/m 1.8-V CMOS technology. To eliminate the slow substrate carriers, a differential n-well diode topology is used. Device simulations clarify the speed advantage of the proposed diode topology compared to other topologies, but also demonstrate the speed-responsivity tradeoff. Due to the lower responsivity, a very sensitive transimpedance amplifier is needed. At 500 Mb/s, an input power of -8 dBm is sufficient to have a bit error rate of 3/spl middot/10/sup -10/. Next, the design of a broadband post-amplifier is discussed. The small-signal frequency dependent gain of the traditional and modified Cherry-Hooper stage is analyzed. To achieve broadband operation in the output buffer, so-called "f/sub T/ doublers" are used. For a differential 10 mV/sub pp/ 2/sup 31/-1 pseudo random bit sequence, a bit error rate of 5/spl middot/10/sup -12/ at 3.5 Gb/s has been measured. At lower bit-rates, the bit error rate is even lower: a 1-Gb/s 10-mV/sub pp/ input signal results in a bit error rate of 7/spl middot/10/sup -14/. The TIA consumes 17mW, while the post-amplifier circuit consumes 34 mW. 相似文献

This paper presents an integrable RF sampling receiver front-end architecture, based on a switched-capacitor (SC) RF sampling downconversion (RFSD) filter, for WLAN applications in a 2.4-GHz band. The RFSD filter test chip is fabricated in a 0.18-/spl mu/m CMOS technology and the measurement results show a successful realization of RF sampling, quadrature downconversion, tunable anti-alias filtering, downconversion to baseband, and decimation of the sampling rate. By changing the input sampling rate, the RFSD filter can be tuned to different RF channels. A maximum input sampling rate of 1072 MS/s has been achieved. A single-phase clock is used for the quadrature downconversion and the bandpass operation is realized by a 23-tap FIR filter. The RFSD filter has an IIP/sub 3/ of +5.5 dBm, a gain of -1 dB, and more than 17 dB rejection of alias bands. The measured image rejection is 59 dB and the sampling clock jitter is 0.64 ps. The test chip consumes 47 mW in the analog part and 40 mW in the digital part. It occupies an area of 1 mm/sup 2/. 相似文献

A 20-GHz phase-locked loop with 4.9 ps/sub pp//0.65 ps/sub rms/ jitter and -113.5 dBc/Hz phase noise at 10-MHz offset is presented. A half-duty sampled-feedforward loop filter that simply replaces the resistor with a switch and an inverter suppresses the reference spur down to -44.0 dBc. A design iteration procedure is outlined that minimizes the phase noise of a negative-g/sub m/ oscillator with a coupled microstrip resonator. Static frequency dividers made of pulsed latches operate faster than those made of flip-flops and achieve near 2:1 frequency range. The phase-locked loop fabricated in a 0.13-/spl mu/m CMOS operates from 17.6 to 19.4GHz and dissipates 480mW. 相似文献
