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 …

A Low-EMI, High-DR Class-D Audio Amplifier With Double-Sided Voltage-Boosting Modulation

A Low-EMI, High-DR Class-D Audio Amplifier With Double-Sided Voltage-Boosting Modulation 150 150

Abstract:

This article presents a digital-input class-D audio amplifier (CDA) that employs a double-sided voltage-boosting (DSVB) modulation scheme, integrating a capacitively coupled chopper amplifier (CCCA) with a single-inductor buck–boost power stage. The CCCA achieves a high dynamic range (DR) due to its very low noise floor and is implemented with …

A 0-to- 10μF Off-Chip Output Capacitor-Scalable Boost Converter Achieving 96.68% Peak Efficiency

A 0-to- 10μF Off-Chip Output Capacitor-Scalable Boost Converter Achieving 96.68% Peak Efficiency 150 150

Abstract:

This letter presents an off-chip output capacitor (CO)-scalable (OCS) boost converter. The proposed OCS boost converter is possible to operate both with and without the off-chip CO. In addition, it operates in a whole conversion ratio (CR) range over 1 while maintaining a small current ripple of an inductor, resulting …

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 9-GHz Low-In-Band Noise Sub-Sampling-Chopper PLL With Charge-Share Canceling Technique

A 9-GHz Low-In-Band Noise Sub-Sampling-Chopper PLL With Charge-Share Canceling Technique 150 150

Abstract:

This article presents a low-jitter sub-sampling chopper phase-locked loop (SS-CPLL) that incorporates a novel chopping charge pump (C-CP) to mitigate 1/f noise in short-channel devices operating at a low supply voltage of 0.75 V. A charge-share cancellation technique is introduced to suppress ripple generated by residual charge from the previous reference …

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 …
