A high-frequency large-signal very low-distortion voltage-to-current transducer is presented. The total harmonic distortion (THD), for supply voltages of only ±2.5 V, is smaller than 0.1% for fully differential input signals up to 2.4 V peak to peak (Vpp). The dynamic range is on the order of 89 dB with the transconductor noise integrated over a bandwidth of 1 MHz. Moreover, this structure presents low sensitivity to transistor mismatches. An operational transconductance amplifier (OTA), based on this transconductor, has been used in an adjustable quality factor 1.8-MHz biquadratic continuous-time filter. The quality factor Q is controlled, from 2 to 50, with a novel current-source configuration. Both the OTA and the filter have been fabricated in a CMOS 3-μm n-well process 相似文献

This work presents an analysis on frequency planning and synthesis for multiband (MB) orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) ultra-wideband (UWB) radios operating in the range of 3.1-10.6 GHz. The most important specifications for the frequency synthesizer in an MB-OFDM UWB transceiver are provided. A synthesizer architecture for an existing frequency plan is introduced along with a discussion on its performance and implementation. An alternative frequency plan and its corresponding synthesizer architecture are also proposed. It is shown how this modified frequency plan leads to a significant simplification in the synthesizer realization. The feasible performance of both synthesizer architectures is evaluated through macromodel simulations using realistic models for the building blocks. Finally, system-level simulation results showing the impact of synthesizer spurs on the bit error rate performance of an MB-OFDM UWB receiver in the presence of interferers are provided. The presented results and discussion provide valuable insight for the implementation of a 3.1-10.6-GHz UWB synthesizer. 相似文献

A sixth-order 10.7-MHz bandpass switched-capacitor filter based on a double terminated ladder filter is presented. The filter uses a multipath operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) that presents both better accuracy and higher slew rate than previously reported Class-A OTA topologies. Design techniques based on charge cancellation and slower clocks are used to reduce the overall capacitance from 782 down to 219 unity capacitors. The filter's center frequency and bandwidth are 10.7 MHz and 400 kHz, respectively, and a passband ripple of 1 dB in the entire passband. The quality factor of the resonators used as filter terminations is around 32. The measured (filter + buffer) third-intermodulation (IM3) distortion is less than -40 dB for a two-tone input signal of +3-dBm power level each. The signal-to-noise ratio is roughly 58 dB while the IM3 is -45 dB; the power consumption for the standalone filter is 42 mW. The chip was fabricated in a 0.35-/spl mu/m CMOS process; filter's area is 0.84 mm/sup 2/. 相似文献

A maximally flat 10.7-MHz fourth-order bandpass filter with an on-chip automatic tuning system is presented. The signal-to-in-band integrated noise ratio (SNR) of the automatically tuned filter is around 68 dB. The third intermodulation distortion (IM3) is lower than -40 dB for a two-tone input signal of 3.2 V peak to peak (Vp-p). The complete system operates with supply voltages of ±2.5 V. The power consumption of the system is 220 mW. All this has been achieved due to the use of a low-distortion transconductor, the development of a high-frequency CMOS resistor, and the realization of an advanced on-chip automatic tuning system for both frequency and bandwidth control. The chip has been fabricated in a standard 1.5-μm n-well CMOS process 相似文献

A pseudodifferential CMOS operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) with wide tuning range and large input voltage swing has been designed for very small GM's (of the order of a few nanoamperes per volt). The OTA is based on a modified four-quadrant multiplier architecture with current division. A common-mode feedback circuit structure has been proposed and designed using floating-gate transistors to handle large differential signals. Large on-chip capacitors are emulated through impedance scaling circuits. The circuits, fabricated in a 1.2-μm CMOS process, have been used to design a fourth-order bandpass filter and a relaxation oscillator. Experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical results 相似文献

This paper deals with the design of an algorithmic switched-capacitor analog-to-digital converter (ADC), operating with a single reference voltage, a single-ended amplifier, a single-ended comparator, and presenting a small input capacitance. The ADC requires two clock phases per conversion bit and N clock cycles to resolve the N-bits. The ADC achieves a measured peak signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) of 49.9 dB and a peak signal-to-noise-and-distortion-ratio (SNDR) of 46.7 dB at Pin = ?6dBFS with a sampling rate of 0.25 MS/s. The measured differential-non-linearity and integral-non-linearity are within +0.6/?0.5 and +0.2/?0.5 LSB, respectively. The ADC power consumption is 300 μW and it is implemented in 90 nm CMOS technology with a single power supply of 1.2 V. The ADC saves power at system-level by requiring only a single reference voltage. At system level, this solution is therefore not only robust but competitive as well. 相似文献

This paper presents an analog built-in testing (BIT) architecture and its implementation. It enables the frequency response and harmonic distortion characterizations of an integrated device-under-test (DUT) through a digital off-chip interface. External analog instrumentation is avoided, reducing test time and cost. The proposed on-chip testing scheme uses a digital frequency synthesizer and a simple signal generator synchronized with a switched capacitor bandpass filter. A general methodology for the use of this structure in the functional verification of a DUT is also provided. The circuit-level design and experimental results of an integrated prototype in standard CMOS 0.5 m technology are presented to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed BIT technique.Marcia G.

Phase-locked loops (PLLs) using binary phase detectors (BPDs) are modeled and analyzed in this paper. Steady-state behavior for PLLs based on BPDs (BPLs) using first- and second- order loop filters is characterized using transient waveform equations. It is shown that BPLL has a range of oscillation modes in steady state when there is no input jitter. The BPLL is most likely to operate at the most stable oscillation mode (MSOM) under the disturbance of random input jitter. The MSOM is determined by evaluating the relative stability of all the modes. The expected value of the output jitter amplitude is derived and its dependence on the loop parameters is analyzed. 相似文献

A low power divide-by-8 injection-locked frequency divider is presented. The frequency divider consists of four current-mode logic (CML) D-latches connected in the form of a four-stage ring with the differential input signal injected into the clock terminals of the latches. The output signals can be taken from the data terminals of any of the four latches. The proposed frequency divider has higher operating frequency and lower power dissipation compared with conventional static frequency dividers. Compared with existing injection-locked frequency dividers, the proposed fully differential frequency divider presents wider locking range with the center frequency independent of injection amplitude. The frequency divider is implemented in TSMC 0.18 mum CMOS technology. It consumes around 3.6 mW power with 1.8 V supply. The operating frequency can be tuned from 4 GHz to 18 GHz. The ratio of the locking range over the center frequency is up to 50% depending on the operating frequency and biasing conditions 相似文献

A 330-MHz fifth-order Gm-C continuous-time low-pass filter with 24-dB boost is presented. Existing solutions are found to be unsuitable for low-power, wide-band, and high-boost operation. The proposed solution realizes two symmetric real axis zeros by efficiently combining transfer functions associated with all nodes of cascaded biquad cells. Application of Gilbert cell as a variable transconductor, for achieving constant parasitic capacitance across wide programmability range, is illustrated. A new common-mode feedback error amplifier that improves common-mode accuracy without compromising on bandwidth or circuit complexity is introduced. A prototype is fabricated in a standard 0.35-mum CMOS process. Experimental results show -41 dB of IM3 for 250-mV peak-peak swing with 43 mW of power dissipation 相似文献
