An integrated CMOS micromechanical resonator high-Q oscillator   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
A completely monolithic high-Q oscillator, fabricated via a combined CMOS plus surface micromachining technology, is described, for which the oscillation frequency is controlled by a polysilicon micromechanical resonator with the intent of achieving high stability. The operation and performance of micromechanical resonators are modeled, with emphasis on circuit and noise modeling of multiport resonators. A series resonant oscillator design is discussed that utilizes a unique, gain-controllable transresistance sustaining amplifier. We show that in the absence of an automatic level control loop, the closed-loop, steady-state oscillation amplitude of this oscillator depends strongly upon the dc-bias voltage applied to the capacitively driven and sensed μresonator. Although the high-Q of the micromechanical resonator does contribute to improved oscillator stability, its limited power-handling ability outweighs the Q benefits and prevents this oscillator from achieving the high short-term stability normally expected of high-Q oscillators  相似文献

A tournament-shaped magnetically coupled power-combiner architecture for a fully integrated RF CMOS power amplifier is proposed. Various 1 : 1 transmission line transformers are used to design the power combiner. To demonstrate the new architecture, a 1.81-GHz CMOS power amplifier using the tournament-shaped power combiner was implemented with a 0.18-mum RF CMOS process. All of the matching components, including the input and output transformer, were fully integrated. The amplifier achieved a drain efficiency of 38% at the maximum output power of 31.7 dBm.  相似文献

A 27 GHz cross-coupled LC voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) using a standard 0.13 mum CMOS technology is presented. The VCO using a high-Q LC resonator with a micro-strip inductor (mu-strip L) provides a phase noise of -113 dBc/Hz at a 1 MHz offset frequency. The figure - of-merit (FoM) is -194.6 dBc/Hz. To obtain high output power, it also uses a common source amplifier as a buffer and it shows the output power of -3.5 dBm at an oscillation frequency of 26.89 GHz. This is believed to be the lowest phase noise and FoM with the highest output power of a millimetre-wave VCO in CMOS technology.  相似文献

A low-power low-phase-noise 1.9-GHz RF oscillator is presented. The oscillator employs a single thin-film bulk acoustic wave resonator and was implemented in a standard 0.18-/spl mu/m CMOS process. This paper addresses design issues involved in codesigning micromachined resonators with CMOS circuitry to realize ultralow-power RF transceiver components. The oscillator achieves a phase-noise performance of -100 dBc/Hz at 10-kHz offset, -120 dBc/Hz at 100-kHz offset, and -140 dBc/Hz at 1-MHz offset. The startup time of the oscillator is less than 1 /spl mu/s. The oscillator core consumes 300 /spl mu/A from a 1-V supply.  相似文献

In this paper, a phase feedback approach for using nonlinear microelectromechanical (MEM) resonators in oscillator circuits is investigated. Phase feedback makes use of the oscillation phase condition for oscillator circuits and enables fine-tuning of the frequency at which the resonator oscillates by means of setting the phase in the feedback amplifier. The principle of the approach is illustrated for a nonlinear Duffing resonator, which is representative of many types of MEM resonators. Next, the approach is applied to an electrostatically actuated nonlinear clamped–clamped beam MEM resonator, on simulation level. Phase feedback allows for operation of the resonator in its nonlinear regime. The closed-loop technique enables control of both the frequency of oscillation and the output power of the signal. Additionally, optimal operation points for oscillator circuits incorporating a nonlinear resonator can be defined. Application of phase feedback results in more robustness with respect to dynamic pull in than in open-loop case, however, at the cost of a deteriorated phase noise response.   相似文献

We report on a high power, high efficiency, and small-size monolithic coplanar waveguide oscillator incorporating a single-stage buffer amplifier on the same chip. For the oscillator design, by changing RF current level through the device, the optimum load line was chosen in order to have an oscillation frequency insensitive to the effect of the subsequently connected amplifier, based on a device-circuit interaction concept. The amplifier, on the other hand, which was driven directly by the oscillator, was designed to achieve an overall high power and high efficiency operation. At 21 GHz, the output power of the developed chip recorded 17 dBm with an overall DC-RF efficiency of 22%. By changing the length of a source feedback line, the oscillation frequency was varied from 21 GHz to 26 GHz. For all cases, the output power remained higher than 16 dBm  相似文献

A 375-MHz surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) resonator controlled oscillator was developed for application in the Transit satellite marine navigation system. The SAW oscillator, in a 2-in/sup 3/ hybrid package, contains a heater, voltage regulator, and divider and is a direct replacement for a bulk wave oscillator and its multiplier chain. A short term stability of 2E - 10 and an aging rate of 3E - 8/day were achieved at 75°C. Comparison tests showed that the accuracy of the navigation system with the SAW oscillator was equivalent to the accuracy using the bulk oscillator.  相似文献

Millimeter-wave CMOS circuit design   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
We have developed a 27- and 40-GHz tuned amplifier and a 52.5-GHz voltage-controlled oscillator using 0.18-mum CMOS. The line-reflect-line calibrations with a microstrip-line structure, consisting of metal1 and metal6, was quite effective to extract the accurate S-parameters for the intrinsic transistor on an Si substrate and realized the precise design. Using this technique, we obtained a 17-dB gain and 14-dBm output power at 27 GHz for the tuned amplifier. We also obtained a 7-dB gain and a 10.4-dBm output power with a good input and output return loss at 40 GHz. Additionally, we obtained an oscillation frequency of 52.5 GHz with phase noise of -86 dBc/Hz at a 1-MHz offset. These results indicate that our proposed technique is suitable for CMOS millimeter-wave design  相似文献

One challenge of the implementation of fully-integrated RF power amplifiers into a deep submicro digital CMOS process is that no capacitor is available,especially no high density capacitor.To address this problem,a two-stage class-AB power amplifier with inter-stage matching realized by an inter-metal coupling capacitor is designed in a 180-nm digital CMOS process.This paper compares three structures of inter-metal coupling capacitors with metal-insulator-metal(MIM) capacitor regarding their capacitor density.Detailed simulations are carried out for the leakage,the voltage dependency,the temperature dependency,and the quality factor between an inter-metal shuffled(IMS) capacitor and an MIM capacitor.Finally,an IMS capacitor is chosen to perform the inter-stage matching.The techniques are validated via the design and implement of a two-stage class-AB RF power amplifier for an UHF RFID application.The PA occupies 370 × 200 μm^2 without pads in the 180-nm digital CMOS process and outputs 21.1 dBm with 40% drain efficiency and 28.1 dB power gain at 915 MHz from a single 3.3 V power supply.  相似文献

In this paper, two new designs are proposed for sinusoidal oscillators based on a single differential voltage current conveyor transconductance amplifier (DVCCTA). Each of the proposed circuits comprises a DVCCTA combined with passive components that simultaneously provides both voltage and current outputs. The first circuit is a DVCCTA-based single-resistance-controlled oscillator (SRCO) that provides independent control of the oscillation condition and oscillation frequency by using distinct circuit parameters. The second circuit is a DVCCTA-based variable frequency oscillator (VFO) that can provide independent control of the oscillation frequency by adjusting the bias current of the DVCCTA. In this paper, the DVCCTA and relevant formulations of the proposed oscillator circuits are first introduced, followed by the non-ideal effects, sensitivity analyses, frequency stability discussions, and design considerations. After using the 0.35-μm CMOS technology of the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), the HSPICE simulation results confirmed the feasibility of the proposed oscillator circuits.  相似文献

In this paper, an RF power amplifier intended for class 1 Bluetooth application is designed using 0.35 µm CMOS technology. A layout-aware macromodel for the BSIM3v3 MOSFET transistor for RF applications including substrate effect is investigated and used in this design. The model is validated for a 0.35 μm CMOS process using a transistor with total width of 90 μm and 18 fingers and it shows excellent agreement with the ft and S-parameter measurement data up to 6 GHz. The effects of pads and bond wires are also taken into consideration during the design process of the PA. After post-layout simulations, the amplifier delivers an output power of 19 dBm with 33.7% PAE under 3.3 V supply. This amplifier has a power control feature; its two stage circuit utilizes a cascode configuration in its first stage in order to use its bias pin as a power control input for the amplifier. Using this method, the power control range can be decreased down to 1.4 dBm which satisfies the Bluetooth standard. The chip is fabricated and is currently under testing.  相似文献

A circuit technique to simulate large variable capacitance of both positive and negative polarities over a given frequency range is discussed. The simulated capacitance can be varied by voltage control from -60 to +100 pF. The capacitor-simulating circuit is connected in parallel with a resonator to tune its parallel resonance. An oscillator with grounded resonator is also developed. Together with the variable capacitor, a voltage-controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO) is realized. The oscillation frequency of the oscillator can be tuned continuously from 452 to 461 kHz by voltage control. Detailed analyses to completely characterize the oscillator with a simple expression are presented. The prototype of the VCXO has been fabricated in a 4-μm standard CMOS process  相似文献

A low-noise CMOS instrumentation amplifier intended for low-frequency thermoelectric microsensor applications is presented that achieves submicrovolt offset and noise. Key to its performance is the chopper modulation technique combined with a bandpass filter and a matching on-chip oscillator. No external components or trimming are required. The achievable offset performance depends on the bandpass filter Q and the oscillator-to-bandpass filter matching accuracy. Constraints are derived for an optimum Q and a given matching accuracy. The improvement of common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) in chopper amplifiers is discussed. The amplifier features a total gain of 77±0.3 dB and a bandwidth of approximately 600 Hz. The measured low-frequency input noise is 8.5 nV/√Hz and the input offset is 600 nV. The measured low-frequency CMRR is better than 150 dB. The circuit has been implemented in a standard 1-μm single-poly CMOS process  相似文献

This paper describes an approach to design ESD protection for integrated low noise amplifier (LNA) circuits used in narrowband transceiver front-ends. The RF constraints on the implementation of ESD protection devices are relaxed by co-designing the RF and the ESD blocks, considering them as one single circuit to optimise. The method is applied for the design of 0.25 μm CMOS LNA. Circuit protection levels higher than 3 kV HBM stress are achieved using conventional highly capacitive ggNMOS snapback devices. The methodology can be extended to other RF-CMOS circuits requiring ESD protection by merging the ESD devices in the functionality of the corresponding matching blocks.  相似文献

The design of a CMOS clamped‐clamped beam resonator along with a full custom integrated differential amplifier, monolithically fabricated with a commercial 0.35 μm CMOS technology, is presented. The implemented amplifier, which minimizes the negative effect of the parasitic capacitance, enhances the electrical MEMS characterization, obtaining a 48 × 108 resonant frequency‐quality factor product (Q×fres) in air conditions, which is quite competitive in comparison with existing CMOS‐MEMS resonators.  相似文献
