Abstract:

The analog front-end (AFE) often bottlenecks the power of modern receiver chains, burdened by the large-signal linearity required before the ADC. This work introduces a 77-dB DR, 200-MS/s two-stage SAR ADC that can alleviate much of this burden by offering a significantly lower input-referred noise (IRN) to enable low-gain …

Abstract:

This article presents a 13-GHz quadrature charge-pump phase-locked loop (CPPLL) that simultaneously achieves ultra-low jitter and low-spur performance. First, a low-noise resistive-discharge time-amplifying phase-frequency detector (RD-TAPFD) is proposed, achieving extremely low inherent noise and significantly suppressing noise from the following stages. Second, a sampling-based dual-path loop filter effectively suppresses reference …
