A 0.5–2.5-GS/s Resettable Ring-VCO-Based ADC Eliminating Quantization-Noise Shaping

A 0.5–2.5-GS/s Resettable Ring-VCO-Based ADC Eliminating Quantization-Noise Shaping 150 150
Author(s): Tao Lu, Zixiang Liu, Hao Yang, Sai-Weng Sin, Fujiang Lin, Liheng Lou, Robert Bogdan Staszewski, Yizhe Hu

Abstract:

This article presents a Nyquist-rate Analog-to-digital converter (ADC) operating from 0.5 to 2.5 GS/s based on an open-loop resettable ring VCO (R-RVCO). By inherently embedding the $1 {\,}-{\,}z^{-1}$ transfer function, the R-RVCO eliminates the need for an explicit differentiator, suppresses VCO phase-noise (PN) integration, and avoids quantization-noise (QN) shaping within …

1–1.7-GHz Single-Voltage-Controlled Tunable MMIC BPF With Over 45-dB Rejection to 30 GHz Using Tapped Inductor Technique

1–1.7-GHz Single-Voltage-Controlled Tunable MMIC BPF With Over 45-dB Rejection to 30 GHz Using Tapped Inductor Technique 150 150
Author(s): Di Lu, Menghan Sun, Baoqi Zhu, Xin Jiang, Ming Yu

Abstract:

This article presents a novel fourth-order single-voltage-controlled (SVC) tunable monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) bandpass filter (BPF) for tunable filter bank applications. Utilizing the tapped inductor technique (TIT), the proposed filter achieves compact magnetic coupling with reduced loss, avoiding the use of bulky inductor- or transformer-based coupling structures. The filter …

A 475-nW Area-Efficient Programmable Analog Feature Extraction Filterbank for Audio Classification

A 475-nW Area-Efficient Programmable Analog Feature Extraction Filterbank for Audio Classification 150 150
Author(s): Patrice Abbie D. Legaspi, Shubham Yadav, Mark S. Oude Alink, Bram Nauta

Abstract:

Audio classification in edge devices has many applications and can be implemented at varying levels of complexity, typically consisting of a feature extractor followed by a classifier. Such devices are often always-on, constantly listening to their surroundings, and have a small form factor; therefore, they require low-power operation and high …

A 136.6-dB-DR 174.3-dB-FoMS Versatile Current-to-Digital Converter With a Truncated-Noise-Shaped Baseline-Servo-Loop

A 136.6-dB-DR 174.3-dB-FoMS Versatile Current-to-Digital Converter With a Truncated-Noise-Shaped Baseline-Servo-Loop 150 150
Author(s): Taeryoung Seol, Sehwan Lee, Geunha Kim, Samhwan Kim, Yeonjae Shin, Jeongyoon Wie, Seungyeob Baik, Hongki Kang, Minyoung Song, Jong-Hyeok Yoon, Junghyup Lee

Abstract:

This article presents a high-resolution, wide dynamic-range (DR) current-to-digital converter (IDC) capable of directly digitizing a broad range of bio-current signals. To achieve high resolution, the IDC uses a second-order continuous-time delta–sigma modulator (CT-DSM) architecture with a low-noise current-recycling operational amplifier (op-amp) and a highly linear pseudo-differential voltage-controlled oscillator (…

A 112-Gb/s PAM4 Receiver With a Phase Equalization AFE in 7-nm FinFET

A 112-Gb/s PAM4 Receiver With a Phase Equalization AFE in 7-nm FinFET 150 150
Author(s): Huanan Guo, Yufeng Yao, Xiang Gao

Abstract:

To reduce the bit-error-rate (BER), equalizers are implemented in high-speed SerDes receivers (RX) to compensate for channel insertion loss and mitigate intersymbol interference (ISI). Conventional analog front-end (AFE) designs primarily focus on amplitude gain while neglecting the influence of phase shift. This brief presents a phase equalization (PEQ) AFE design …
