Author(s): Hongzhi Liang, Jun Chang, Yixiao Luo, Li Dang, Haolin Han, Yi Shen, Dengquan Li, Shubin Liu, Ruixue Ding, Zhangming Zhu

Abstract:

This article presents a 32-GS/s 16-channel hierarchical time-interleaved (TI) hybrid analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The prototype utilizes the intrinsic high-speed quantization of time-domain (TD) ADC to reduce the interleaving factor. By incorporating hierarchical sampling and a cascode sampler, the compact TI-ADC achieves 44.3-dB spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) at 20.9-GHz input. …

Abstract:

Targeting the wireless power transfer (WPT) to implantable medical devices (IMDs), this work presents a 6.78 MHz single-stage dual-output (SSDO) regulating rectifier. It can support the simultaneous charging of both outputs ( $V_{\text {OUT1}}$ and $V_{\text {OUT2}}$ , $V_{\text {OUT1}} \gt V_{\text {OUT2}}$ ) in a half cycle, rather than …

Abstract:

This article proposes an envelope-tracking (ET) supply modulator (SM) that is scalable for sixth-generation (6G) communication systems. The design leverages a cost-efficient CMOS process for the power converters and a high-performance GaN process for the high-frequency power amplifier (PA) and the depletion-mode-only GaN-based amplifier. The proposed ET supply modulator (ETSM) …

A Low-Jitter Fractional-N Sampling PLL With Voltage-Domain Quantization-Error Cancellation Using a Nonlinearity-Replication Technique

A Low-Jitter Fractional-N Sampling PLL With Voltage-Domain Quantization-Error Cancellation Using a Nonlinearity-Replication Technique 150 150
Author(s): Yuhwan Shin, Juyeop Kim, Junseok Lee, Yongwoo Jo, Jaehyouk Choi

Abstract:

This work presents a low-jitter, low-fractional-spur fractional- $N$ digital sampling phase-locked loop (SPLL) that generates output frequencies from 10.4to 11.8GHz. Conventional fractional- $N$ PLLs employ a digital-to-time converter (DTC) to cancel the quantization error (Q-error) of the delta-sigma modulator ( $Delta Sigma $ M). To address the nonlinearity (NL) of the DTC, …

An Ultralow Cross-Regulation Single-Inductor Multiple-Output (SIMO) Buck Converter Using Reordered Power-Distributive Control

An Ultralow Cross-Regulation Single-Inductor Multiple-Output (SIMO) Buck Converter Using Reordered Power-Distributive Control 150 150

Abstract:

A single-inductor multiple-output (SIMO) buck converter employing reordered power-distributive control (RPDC) is presented to achieve ultralow cross regulation. Adedicated power-distribution controller implements RPDC by adaptively adjusting the switching sequence: when the inductor current is insufficient, the switching period is extended, and when excessive, an end phase in the form of …

Author(s): Yuyan Liu, Huajun Zhang, Mustafa Becermis, Jieyu Liao, Mohit Dandekar, Kofi A. A. Makinwa, Qinwen Fan

Abstract:

This article presents a photovoltaic energy harvester (PVEH) that achieves high maximum power point tracking (MPPT) efficiency and power conversion efficiency across a $100~000{\times }$ input power dynamic range (DR) (from $10~{\mu }$ W to 1W). Wide-dynamic-range operation is challenging due to the inherent tradeoff between MPPT accuracy and controller power consumption. …
