An Antenna-to-Bits F-Band 120-Gbps CMOS RF-64QAM Receiver

An Antenna-to-Bits F-Band 120-Gbps CMOS RF-64QAM Receiver 150 150

Abstract:

A CMOS 100–140-GHz end-to-end receiver (RX) is presented that integrates the antenna input all the way to the bitstream output, while demodulating 64QAM/16QAM/QPSK entirely in the analog domain. A sequential asynchronous demodulation method enables 120-Gbps operation at a notably small baseband power consumption. Fabricated in a 22-nm FDSOI …

An 8.5 MHz 42 ppm/°C Relaxation Oscillator With Charge-Pump Delay Cancellation and Digital Chopping Demodulation

An 8.5 MHz 42 ppm/°C Relaxation Oscillator With Charge-Pump Delay Cancellation and Digital Chopping Demodulation 150 150

Abstract:

This letter presents an RC oscillator featuring a mixed-signal compensation loop that simultaneously mitigates comparator offset, loop delay, switch on-resistance, and temperature dependency. The oscillator employs an auxiliary comparator, a charge pump, and a differential difference amplifier (DDA)-based main comparator to suppress ramping voltage overshoots caused by device and …

A Battery-Free BLE Backscatter Communication Chip for Wearable Systems

A Battery-Free BLE Backscatter Communication Chip for Wearable Systems 150 150

Abstract:

This letter presents a backscatter chip that features bidirectional communication with commodity bluetooth low-energy (BLE) transceivers. For uplink, the chip reflects a reverse-whitened BLE tone into single-sideband (SSB) GFSK-modulated BLE packets via a proposed replica VCO-based GFSK modulator and an inductor-free SSB reflector. For downlink, the BLE packets are frequency …

A Fully Integrated Galvanic Isolator for Gate Drivers With Asynchronous 100/167 Mb/s ASK/FSK Full-Duplex Communication

A Fully Integrated Galvanic Isolator for Gate Drivers With Asynchronous 100/167 Mb/s ASK/FSK Full-Duplex Communication 150 150

Abstract:

A fully integrated galvanic isolator for gate drivers that supports high-speed, asynchronous, full-duplex communication is presented. Data transmission from the microcontroller to the power device is achieved using amplitude-shift keying (ASK) at 100 Mb/s, while simultaneous communication in the opposite direction is implemented using frequency-shift keying (FSK) at 167 Mb/s. …
