Integration of radios in SoCs along with digital baseband and application processors is desirable for cost and form-factor reasons. Digital processors are typically implemented in the latest CMOS process to take advantage of the increased density and performance afforded by CMOS scaling. Integration of traditional RF circuits, however, requires accurate RF and passive models that typically lag behind...
As CMOS technology continues to scale for SoC applications, significant challenges to implement a monolithic linear high-power amplifier have emerged. This results from the low breakdown voltage of transistors, high on-chip passive loss on a conductive substrate, stringent bump-pattern constraints and thermal dissipation requirements of flip-chip packages. Most fully-integrated linear CMOS PAs reported...
An outphasing power amplifier (PA) is designed and implemented in a 32nm digital CMOS process. The PA uses a transformer power combining configuration with reduced losses at backoff power. In the range of 2.2-2.5GHz, this PA gives 25dBm peak CW power with 40% total efficiency (includes all drivers). The class-D PA takes advantage of 32nm switching speed to achieve good linearity performance. The PA...
