  • Suppression of substrate noise in a mixed-signal CMOS integrated circuit

    Creator:
    Lim, Wei Tjan (Richard)
    Abstract:
    Substrate switching noise is becoming a concern as integrated circuits get larger and speeds get faster. Mixed-mode integrated circuits are especially affected as the substrate noise interferes with sensitive analog circuits resulting in limited signal to noise ratios. This thesis serves to study the cause of the noise at the...

  • Power amplifier design in digital CMOS processes

    Creator:
    Forejt, Brett E.
    Abstract:
    The ability to integrate designs from board level, multi-chip modules to single process solutions is highly attractive in today's PC multimedia industry. Saving board area and chip count will decrease the production cost of personal computing hardware and increase profitability. The ability to integrate analog circuit capability and it's reference...

  • MOSFET-only predictive track and hold circuit

    Creator:
    Qiu, Xiangping
    Abstract:
    High-accuracy and high-speed CMOS track-and-hold (T/H) or sample-and-hold (S/H) circuits are an important part of the analog-to-digital interface. The switched-capacitor (SC) circuits usually contain one or more op-amps whose dc offset, finite gain, finite bandwidth have a big impact on the accuracy of the track-and-hold circuit. Basic correlated double sampling...

  • Low-power high-performance 32-bit 0.5[u]m CMOS adder

    Creator:
    Shah, Parag Shantu
    Abstract:
    Currently, the two most critical factors of microprocessor design are performance and power. The optimum balance of these two factors is reflected in the speed-power product(SPP). 32-bit CMOS adders are used as representative circuits to investigate a method of reducing the SPP. The purpose of this thesis is to show...

  • High-performance low-power microprocessor circuits

    Creator:
    Hsu, Steven K.
    Abstract:
    This thesis will discuss two critical components of a digital system -- domino logic styles and flip-flops. In today's microprocessors, both domino logic and flip-flops are essential to high-performance and low-power design. Two new domino logic styles are presented and analyzed, Double Edge Triggered (DET) and Double Data Rate (DDR)...

  • High accuracy CMOS switched-current ladder filters

    Creator:
    Hoei, Jung-sheng
    Abstract:
    Clock-feedthrough effects, channel-length modulation and device mismatch are the main causes of the inaccuracy of Switched-Current (SI) circuits. In this paper, these non-ideal effects are analyzed. A high-performance current mirror, namely regulated cascode current mirror, which eliminates drain voltage variation problem is introduced. By using this current mirror as a...

  • Generation of substrate bias and current sources in CMOS technology

    Creator:
    Zhang, Jing, 1962-
    Abstract:
    A negatively biased substrate has several advantages over a grounded substrate in CMOS technology. The on-chip generation of this negative substrate bias has made chips easier to use when only a single supply is preferred. This project demonstrates two types of charge pump circuits used to generate negative voltages not...

  • Fully-differential current-mode CMOS circuits and applications

    Creator:
    Zele, Rajesh H.
    Abstract:
    With increasing interest in current-mode analogue processing due to its high performance properties such as speed, bandwidth and accuracy compared to voltage-mode processing, new current-mode alternatives to various conventional circuit designs are appearing. In this report, a novel circuit design to construct a fully-differential current-mode operational amplifier ( OP-AMP )...

  • Design of low power 2.4GHz CMOS LC balanced oscillators with low phase noise and large tuning range

    Creator:
    Seshan, Nilakantan
    Abstract:
    The design of two 2.4GHz CMOS LC balanced oscillators in the 0.25μm National BiCMOS process for Bluetooth specifications is presented. These oscillators achieve low phase noise with low power consumption. At a frequency offset of 500KHz from the 2.11GHz carrier, the measured phase noise is -101.9dBc/Hz for the NMOS oscillator...
