A 200 mA CMOS low-dropout regulator with double frequency compensation techniques for SoC applications

This paper presents a 200mA low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator using two modified techniques for frequency compensation. One technique is that the error amplifier using common source stage with variable load, which is controlled by output current, is served as the second stage for stable frequency responses. Another technique is the LDO uses pole-zero tracking compensation technique at error amplifier to achieve good frequency response. The proposed circuit was fabricated and tested in HJTC 0.18μm CMOS technology. The designed LDO linear regulator works under the input voltage of 2.8V-5V and provides up to 200mA load current for an output voltage of 1.8V. The total error of the output voltage due to line and load variation is less than 0.015%. The LDO die area is 630*550μm² and the quiescent current is 130μA.     

一种应用于直接变频系统的低功耗混合信号直流失调消除电路

A low power mixed signal DC offset calibration (DCOC) circuit for direct conversion receiver applications is designed. The proposed DCOC circuit features low power consumption, fast settling time and a small die area by avoiding the trade-off between loop response time and the high pass frequency of the DCOC servo loop in conventional analog DCOC systems. By applying the proposed DC offset correction circuitry, the output residue DC offset voltages are reduced to less than 38 mV and the DCOC loop settling time is less than 100 μs. The DCOC chip is fabricated in a standard 0.13-μm CMOS technology and drains only 196 μA from a 1.2-V power supply with its chip area of only 0.372 × 0.419 mm².

A 130 nm CMOS low-power SAR ADC for wide-band communication systems

This paper presents a low power 9-bit 80 MS/s SAR ADC with comparator-sharing technique in 130 nm CMOS process. Compared to the conventional SAR ADC, the sampling phase is removed to reach the full efficiency of the comparator. Thus the conversion rate increases by about 20% and its sampling time is relaxed. The design does not use any static components to achieve a widely scalable conversion rate with a constant FOM. The floorplan of the capacitor network is custom-designed to suppress the gain mismatch between the two DACs. The ＇set-and- down＇ switching procedure and a novel binary-search error compensation scheme are utilized to further speed up the SA bit-cycling operation. A very fast logic controller is proposed with a delay time of only 90 ps. At 1.2 V supply and 80 MS/s the ADC achieves an SNDR of 51.4 dB and consumes 1.86 mW, resulting in an FOM of 76.6 fJ/conversion-step. The ADC core occupies an active area of only 0.089 mm2.
