  • Design considerations for fast-settling operational amplifiers

    Creator:
    Yang, Howard C.
    Abstract:
    The design considerations for fast-settling operational amplifiers (opamps) differ significantly between sampled-data switchedcapacitor (SC) and conventional continuous-time applications. In SC circuits, the shape of the output voltage waveform of an opamp is of no consequence provided that the output settles to within a specified tolerance of its steady-state value prior...

  • Design of CMOS switched-current filters

    Creator:
    Fiez, Theresa S.
    Abstract:
    The design and implementation of Switched-Current (SI) ladder filters is described. SI filters require only a standard digital CMOS process and the power supply voltage requirement is low. SI circuits also can be potentially operated at higher frequencies than Switched-Capacitor (SC) filters due to the low-impedance wideband nodes of the...

  • CMOS low noise amplifier design utilizing monolithic transformers

    Creator:
    Zhou, Jianjun J.
    Abstract:
    Full integration of CMOS low noise amplifiers (LNA) presents a challenge for low cost CMOS receiver systems. A critical problem faced in the design of an RF CMOS LNA is the inaccurate high-frequency noise model of the MOSFET implemented in circuit simulators such as SPICE. Silicon-based monolithic inductors are another...

  • Current mode analog and digital circuit design

    Creator:
    Liang, Guojin
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, two important current mode circuit design subjects have been explored. In the first part, the switched-current circuit technique has been investigated. The fundamental performance and limitations of this technique are explored. One of the major limitations, the signal distortion caused by clock feedthrough has been substantially reduced...

  • A P-well GaAs MESFET technology

    Creator:
    Canfield, Philip C.
    Abstract:
    The semiconductor gallium arsenide (GaAs) has many potential advantages over the more widely used semiconductor silicon (Si). These include higher low field mobility, semi-insulating substrates, a direct band-gap, and greater radiation hardness. All these advantages offer distinct opportunities for implementation of new circuit functions or extension of the operating conditions...
