A 6.2b-ENOB 2.5 GS/s Flash-and-VCO-Based Subranging ADC Using a Residue Shifting Technique

A 6.2b-ENOB 2.5 GS/s Flash-and-VCO-Based Subranging ADC Using a Residue Shifting Technique 150 150

Abstract:

This letter presents a 7-bit pipelined subranging ADC that integrates a 3-bit flash ADC with a ring VCO-based quantizer. A resistor-ladder-based residue shifter (RLRS) replaces traditional residue amplifiers, efficiently shifting the residue voltage into the most linear region of the $K_{textrm {VCO}}$ , thereby eliminating the need for post-linearity calibration. …

A 45-V Auto-Zero-Stabilized Chopper Instrumentation Amplifier With 1.8- μ V Offset, 33.5- μ V Ripple, and 42-V Common-Mode Input Range

A 45-V Auto-Zero-Stabilized Chopper Instrumentation Amplifier With 1.8- μ V Offset, 33.5- μ V Ripple, and 42-V Common-Mode Input Range 150 150

Abstract:

This letter presents a 45V high-precision current-feedback instrumentation amplifier (CFIA) that combines both chopping and auto-zeroing (AZ) to achieve 1.8- $mu $ V input offset (10 samples) and 33.5- $mu $ V input-referred ripple. The AZ is duty cycled to minimize power and silicon area, with a parallel auxiliary path operating during AZ …

A Ping-Pong Charge-Sharing Locking PLL With Implicit Reference Doubling and Simultaneous Frequency/Duty-Cycle Calibrations

A Ping-Pong Charge-Sharing Locking PLL With Implicit Reference Doubling and Simultaneous Frequency/Duty-Cycle Calibrations 150 150

Abstract:

We propose a new ping-pong (PP) charge-sharing locking (CSL) phase-locked loop (PLL) architecture that enhances the strength of charge-injection into the oscillator’s LC-tank using complementary charge-sharing capacitors during both positive and negative halves of the reference clock, effectively achieving an implicit $2times $ reference frequency multiplication. The design includes a …

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 …
