一个易于系统集成的变步长反馈数字DC-DC变换模块

提出了一种采用单比较器变步长反馈控制和占空比抖动方法的数字DC-DC变换模块.它用6位二进制分辨率占空比的PWM信号实现了7位的电压分辨率.变步长反馈控制的使用使得它具有比恒定步长方案更好的动态性能,而且没有过多增加控制器的复杂度.在1MHz的开关频率下,控制器自身功耗小于0.5mW(不含功率开关及驱动部分).由于电路的模拟部分极少,因此易与数字系统进行单芯片集成.     

A wideband RF amplifier for satellite tuners

This paper presents the design and measured performance of a wideband amplifier for a direct conversion satellite tuner.It is composed of a wideband low noise amplifier(LNA) and a two-stage RF variable gain amplifier(VGA) with linear gain in dB and temperature compensation schemes.To meet the system linearity requirement, an improved distortion compensation technique and a bypass mode are applied on the LNA to deal with the large input signal.Wideband matching is achieved by resistive feedback and an off-chip LC-ladder matching network.A large gain control range(over 80 dB) is achieved by the VGA with process voltage and temperature compensation and dB linearization.In total,the amplifier consumes up to 26 mA current from a 3.3 V power supply. It is fabricated in a 0.35-μm SiGe BiCMOS technology and occupies a silicon area of 0.25 mm~2.
