A 4 × 50 Gb/s 2.9-pJ/b NRZ VCSEL-Based Co-Packaged Optical Link With Fiber Termination

A 4 × 50 Gb/s 2.9-pJ/b NRZ VCSEL-Based Co-Packaged Optical Link With Fiber Termination 150 150

Abstract:

A four-channel vertical cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL)-based co-packaged optical (CPO) transceiver (TRX) is demonstrated, integrating a photodiode (PD) array, a trans-impedance amplifier front-end integrated circuit (TIA-FE IC), an electrical receiver (RX) IC, and optical fiber termination on a single package on the receive side. The transmitter (TX) counterpart incorporates …

A 0-to- 10μF Off-Chip Output Capacitor-Scalable Boost Converter Achieving 96.68% Peak Efficiency

A 0-to- 10μF Off-Chip Output Capacitor-Scalable Boost Converter Achieving 96.68% Peak Efficiency 150 150

Abstract:

This letter presents an off-chip output capacitor (CO)-scalable (OCS) boost converter. The proposed OCS boost converter is possible to operate both with and without the off-chip CO. In addition, it operates in a whole conversion ratio (CR) range over 1 while maintaining a small current ripple of an inductor, resulting …

Reconfigurable Ferroelectric Bandpass Filter With Low-Frequency Noise Analysis for Intracardiac Electrogram Monitoring

Reconfigurable Ferroelectric Bandpass Filter With Low-Frequency Noise Analysis for Intracardiac Electrogram Monitoring 150 150

Abstract:

Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) provide real-time monitoring and immediate defibrillation for life-threatening arrhythmias. However, the intracardiac electrogram (IEGM) acquisition of ICDs faces stringent constraints, including power consumption, low-frequency noise, and patient-specific physiological variability. This article introduces an ultralow-power, high-resolution, reconfigurable three-stage bandpass filter designed specifically for IEGM, utilizing ferroelectric field-effect …

A 10.9nV/√Hz, 74.9dB-DR, 20MS/s Ultrasound Analog Front End for Fully-Digital Beamforming

A 10.9nV/√Hz, 74.9dB-DR, 20MS/s Ultrasound Analog Front End for Fully-Digital Beamforming 150 150

Abstract:

This letter presents a compact and energy-efficient analog front-end (AFE) circuit for fully-digital beamforming in endoscopic and catheter-based 3D-ultrasound imaging. The AFE converts single-ended analog input from each transducer element into a 10-bit digital output through a low-noise amplifier (LNA) and a 20 MS/s SAR ADC. To minimize chip area …

A Capacitive Stacking Mixer-First Receiver With Higher Order Capacitive Feedback

A Capacitive Stacking Mixer-First Receiver With Higher Order Capacitive Feedback 150 150

Abstract:

This article presents a capacitive stacking mixer-first receiver (MF-RX) with a higher order capacitive feedback (CFB) loop designed to increase interferer rejection right at the mixer baseband (BB) node, benefiting both the out-of-band (OOB) linearity of the passive mixer switches and the active BB circuitry. The CFB loop consists of …
