The design of a power-efficient second-order Δ/Σ modulator for voice-band is presented. At system level, a new single-loop,
single-stage modulator is proposed. The modulator employs only one class-AB op-amp to realize a second-order noise shaping
for voice-band applications. The modulator is designed in a 0.25μm standard CMOS process, and exhibits 86 dB dynamic range (DR) for a 4 kHz voice-bandwidth. The proposed modulator consumes
125μW from a 2.5 V supply.

A new second-order all-pass filter with maximum achievable delay-bandwidth-product (DBW) is presented. The proposed circuit will be used as a wideband delay element in impulse radio ultra-wideband transceivers. Benefiting from a simple architecture, the proposed circuit achieves a 60 ps delay across a 10 GHz bandwidth, which is the largest delay ever reported over such a wide bandwidth. In addition, the most noticeable advantage of this delay circuit is the small variation of group delay across a wide frequency range, which means negligibly small phase distortion introduced by the circuit 相似文献

Pannexin1 (Panx1) can form ATP-permeable channels that play roles in the physiology of the visual system. In the zebrafish two ohnologs of Panx1, Panx1a and Panx1b, have unique and shared channel properties and tissue expression patterns. Panx1a channels are located in horizontal cells of the outer retina and modulate light decrement detection through an ATP/pH-dependent mechanisms and adenosine/dopamine signaling. Here, we decipher how the strategic localization of Panx1b channels in the inner retina and ganglion cell layer modulates visually evoked motor behavior. We describe a panx1b knockout model generated by TALEN technology. The RNA-seq analysis of 6 days post-fertilization larvae is confirmed by real-time PCR and paired with testing of locomotion behaviors by visual motor and optomotor response tests. We show that the loss of Panx1b channels disrupts the retinal response to an abrupt loss of illumination and it decreases the larval ability to follow leftward direction of locomotion in low light conditions. We concluded that the loss of Panx1b channels compromises the final output of luminance as well as motion detection. The Panx1b protein also emerges as a modulator of the circadian clock system. The disruption of the circadian clock system in mutants suggests that Panx1b could participate in non-image forming processes in the inner retina. 相似文献

A comprehensive analytical study of regenerative frequency dividers (RFD) is presented. The study includes two fundamental modes of operation in RFDs, namely locked (or stable) and quasi-locked modes, and the study also covers the transition from free-running oscillation to quasi-locked, and ultimately to locked operation mode. Differential equations characterizing the RFD behavior for both operation modes as well as the transition between the two are derived. An RFD circuit for Bluetooth applications was designed and fabricated in a 65-nm CMOS process with a supply voltage of 1.2 V. Measurement results of the RFD prototype verify the accuracy of the proposed analytical models 相似文献

A two-point modulation technique is presented that improves the performance of nonlinear power amplifiers (PAs) in polar transmitters. In this scheme, the output amplitude modulation is performed by controlling the current of the PA. The current control technique enables the PA to provide wideband amplitude modulation, as well as high power control dynamic range. In addition, the supply voltage of the PA is adjusted based on the output power level. The voltage supply adjustment substantially improves the effective power efficiency of the PA. The voltage supply control is performed using a second-order sigma-delta dc-dc converter, which presents an efficiency of over 95% in its operational range. The PA operates at 900 MHz with maximum output power of 27.8 dBm and power efficiency of 34% at maximum output power. The proposed PA achieves 62-dB power control dynamic range with amplitude modulation bandwidth of over 17.1 MHz. The circuits are fabricated in a CMOS 0.18 mum process with a 3.3-V power supply. 相似文献

Thermodynamic knowledge about liquid silicon is crucial for the production of solar-grade silicon feedstock from molten silicon.
In the current study, liquidus for silicon binary alloys is formulated using a previously developed method in which the liquidus
curve is calculated using two constants. The liquidus measurements for the silicon portion of the silicon alloys with Al,
Ca, Mg, Fe, Ti, Zn, Cu, Ag, Au, Pt, Sn, Pb, Bi, Sb, Ga, In, Ni, Pd, Mn, and Rh are reviewed, and the consistent data were
used to determine the liquidus constants. The liquidus curves for silicon binary systems are calculated and plotted. It is
indicated that the calculated liquidus curves fit well with the experimental data. A correlation between the determined liquidus
constants is also observed, which can be used to gain a better understanding of the thermodynamics of the silicon binary melts. 相似文献
