  • A study of the temperature dependence of the DC current-voltage characteristics of AlGaAs/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors with application to bandgap voltage reference sources

    Creator:
    Gazeley, William G.
    Abstract:
    The bandgap voltage reference technique, as implemented in Silicon technology, has evolved to a state of advanced development and become the method of choice for temperature independent voltage biasing in integrated circuits. The heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT), fabricated from epitaxial A1GaAs /GaAs, is developing to a point where basic circuit...

  • Switch-capacitor Power Amplifier with Enhanced Power Back-off Efficiency and Linearity

    Creator:
    Qiao, Bo
    Abstract:
    Nowadays, wireless communication systems use high-order quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) together with orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) to increase the link capacity and robustness. These signals always have large peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) and require power amplifiers (PAs) achieve both high efficiency and linearity simultaneously. For the efficiency, the complementary metal...

  • Current-feedthrough cancellation technique for current-mode T/H circuits

    Creator:
    Young, David Y. W.
    Abstract:
    In this paper, an analysis of the clock-feedthrough effects in switched-current (SI)' circuits will be presented. The clock-feedthrough effects caused by the non-ideal characteristic of MOS switches when they are turned off limit the accuracy of the analog track-and-hold (T/H) circuits. A model to analyze and characterize this effect is...

  • 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...

  • Analytical model of GaAs MESFET output conductance with frequency and temperature dependent parameters

    Creator:
    Lam, Steven C. F.
    Abstract:
    The output characteristics of a conventional GaAs depletion-mode MESFET device have been investigated. One of the important parameters of the small-signal GaAs MESFET model, g[subscript ds] (output conductance), is shown to be frequency and temperature dependent. Variations in g[subscript ds] are a serious problem in many analog and digital circuits...

  • Design of high-speed low-power analog CMOS decision feedback equalizers

    Creator:
    Su, Wenjun
    Abstract:
    Decision feedback equalizer (DFE) is an effective method to remove inter-symbol interference (ISI) from a disk-drive read channel. Analog IC implementations of DFE potentially offers higher speed, smaller die area, and lower power consumption when compared to their digital counterparts. Most of the available DFE equalizers were realized by using...

    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 high-speed adaptive parallel multi-level decision feedback equalizer

    Creator:
    Xiang, Yihai
    Abstract:
    Multi-level decision feedback equalization (MDFE) is an effective technique to remove inter-symbol interference (ISI) from disk readback signals, which uses the simple architecture of decision feedback equalization. Parallelism which doubles the symbol rate can be realized by setting the first tap of the feedback filter to zero. A mixed-signal implementation...

  • MOS switched-current biquadratic filters

    Creator:
    Lee, Bor
    Abstract:
    A MOS biquadratic (biquad) filter employing the switched-current technique is reported. The circuit uses current-mode processing which can offer wide bandwidth, low voltage operation, and can be implemented with standard CMOS technology. Examples of lowpass, highpass, and bandpass filters are given which illustrate the synthesis procedures and the versatility of...
