A 1-8 GHz, 190MHz BB BW Mixer-First Receiver With Bootstrapped Mixer Switches Achieving Over 16dBm In-Band IIP3

A 1-8 GHz, 190MHz BB BW Mixer-First Receiver With Bootstrapped Mixer Switches Achieving Over 16dBm In-Band IIP3 150 150

Abstract:

In this article, we propose a wideband mixer-first receiver with improved in-band (IB) linearity. It uses bootstrapped N-path mixer switches to achieve a constant on-state gate–source voltage for large IB signals. We analyze the tradeoff between on-state resistance and off-state subthreshold current in conventional mixer switches and introduce a …

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 …

Design and Verification of Low Parasitic MOS Capacitors With Series Connected Tri-Well Junctions

Design and Verification of Low Parasitic MOS Capacitors With Series Connected Tri-Well Junctions 150 150

Abstract:

This letter presents a tri-well implementation of MOS capacitors designed to tackle the challenge of high parasitic capacitance. By serially connecting the three parasitic well junction capacitors between the three wells (N-Well, deep P-Well, and deep N-Well) and substrate (PSUB), the parasitic capacitance can be significantly decreased. A higher bias …

A 0.32-pJ/b 100-Gb/s PAM-4 TIA in 28-nm CMOS

A 0.32-pJ/b 100-Gb/s PAM-4 TIA in 28-nm CMOS 150 150

Abstract:

This letter presents a 0.32 pJ/bit 100-Gb/s PAM-4 CMOS transimpedance amplifier (TIA). Several techniques are proposed to alleviate TIA design tradeoffs while pushing energy efficiency to a limit. A multipeaking input network is designed to relieve the bandwidth (BW) degradation from parasitics of input interface and ESD diodes. An …

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 …
